Michael Jackson: Before The Weirdness And Plastic Surgery
You couldn't help but be captivated by the unbelievably cute kid with the amazingly controlled falsetto voice and electric dance moves. He was only 10 years old, when he exploded onto the music scene, along with his brothers as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, but he had the stage presence of a twenty year veteran. Before or since, I haven't seen a child that talented, that aware, that dynamic, that charismatic!
I'm talking about Michael Jackson, of course. And if you didn't have the privilege of seeing him perform as a child-- live or on television, you missed out on the most gifted child performer in the history of music.
Do yourself a favor and see if you can find a videotape of some of the Jackson 5's old television appearances, and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. They were truly magical--especially Michael!
The whole world fell in love with the Jackson 5! In the early seventies, the Jackson 5 were the hottest recording act on the planet!
They had number one record after number one record, after number one record. They sold out concerts worldwide. They were everywhere--television commercials, cereal boxes, school bookcovers, and on every teeny-bopper magazine. They even had their very own Saturday morning cartoon! The Jackson 5 were truly a phenomenom!
The Jackson 5 were all talented in their own right, but it was
little Michael who was the special one--the prodigy--the genius!
In fact, if Michael hadn't grown up and weirded out on us, there's little question, he'd be considered the greatest entertainer of all time. As an adult, he still had the magic that so captivated us when he was a child.
Actually, despite his current trials and tribulations, arguably, he's still considered the greatest, if you judge him strictly on talent and record sales.
Remember, this man holds the Guinness World Record for having the biggest selling album of all time--"Thriller!" In addition, in 2000, at the World Music Awards, Jackson was honored with the Best Selling Male Pop Artist of the Millennium award. In other words, he was voted the best selling pop artist of the last thousand years!
Yes, I know he looks like a freak now--or worse, but you should have seen this kid before the allegations of child molestations, before the weirdness, before the plastic surgery. When he was performing on stage, you literally couldn't take your eyes off of him.
How ironic that is, because now, we can barely stand to look at him!
