Michael Jackson Life Story
Michael Joseph Jackson – Born from 29th Aug 1958 to 25th Jun 2009 – Love him or hate him, Michael Jackson or MJ as he was affectionately known was the indisputable King of Pop and was one of the greatest, if not the greatest singer, dancer and entertainer the world has ever known.
Born as Michael Joseph Jackson in Gary, Indiana, The world first got a glimpse of this superstar when MJ appeared on TV with his siblings, then known as The Jackson Five in 1968.
Although still a member of The Jackson five, he launched his solo career in 1971. His popularity as a great singer and dancer kept on spreading until in his 1982 album, Thriller became the world’s best selling album of all time.
Actually, the Thriller was only a precursor to 4 more of his chart busting albums – Off the Wall in 1979, Bad in 1987, Dangerous in 1991 and of course, HIStory in1995.
In the early 1980s, Michael went on to become the first African American entertainer to amass a legion of strong crossover fans following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos, such as Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller transformed the music video from a promotional tool into a a truly professional art form.
In his heydays, Michael Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial and charitable causes through his foundations.
A sad chapter of his life was when he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993. However, the criminal charges against the singer were dropped due to lack of evidence. Then in 2005, MJ was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges. His life was a miserable shamble then.
Michael Jackson was said to have a very unhappy childhood. Jackson recounted several times that he was physically and emotionally abused by his father from a very young age and was forced to do incessant rehearsals, had whippings and name calling. But he also credited his father’s strict discipline as playing a large part in his success as a top notched singer, performer and entertainer.
Michael Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey. He said that during his childhood he often cried from loneliness and would sometimes start to throw up upon seeing his father.
In another high interview, the singer covered his face with his hand and began crying when talking about his childhood abuse. Jackson recalled that his father, Joseph Jackson sat on a chair with a belt in his hand as he and his siblings rehearsed and that “if you didn’t do it the right way, he would tear you up, really get at you”.
The entertainer’s biggest moment was during the period of Thriller when his lawyer John Branca negotiated what he proudly announced then as the highest royalty rate ever in the music industry, approximately per album. Meanwhile, MJ raked in more profits from The Making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, a documentary by himself and John Landis which sold over more than 300,000 copies at that time.
March 25, 1983, gave birth to the Moonwalk dance routine. He debuted this new dance form in live on the Motown 25′s Yesterday, Today, Forever television special, both with The Jackson 5 and on his own singing “Billie Jean”. His Moon Walk during the event were seen by more than 47 million viewers during its initial airing and drew comparisons to Elvis Presley’s and the The Beatles’ appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.
MJ’s compassionate golden heart was seen when he co-wrote the charity single “We Are the World” with Lionel Richie, which was released worldwide to help the poor in Africa and the US. Jackson was also one of 39 music celebrities and singers who performed on the record. The single became one of the best-selling singles of all time, with 20 million copies sold and millions of dollars donated to famine relief.
Another celebrity Jackson worked closely with was Paul McCartney and together, the duo had two hit singles “The Girl Is Mine” and “Say Say Say”. But unfortunately, this partnership fell through after some business disagreements.
In 1986, the media ran a story claiming that Jackson slept in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to slow down the aging process. However, the report was not true as it was later known that Michael had disseminated the fabricated story himself. He was promoting his upcoming film Captain EO and wanted to promote a science fiction image of himself.
In 1988, some two years after he was diagnosed with vitiligo, Jackson bought and befriended a pet chimpanzee called Bubbles, an act which extended his eccentric persona. In 2003, the singer claimed that Bubbles shared his toilet and cleaned his bedroom. Then it was reported that Jackson bought the bones of The Elephant Man.
Again these were stories that Jackson disseminated to the media. These incredible stories inspired the nickname “Wacko Jacko” although Michael would eventually despise the nickname. Realizing his mistake, he stopped leaking untruths to the press. However due to the profits raking in from these sensational stories, the media and the began making up their own stories.
Michael was born with medium-brown skin, but from early 1980s, his skin gradually grew paler. This change gained widespread media coverage, including rumors that Jackson was bleaching his skin.
Then in the mid 1980s, Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus, the latter was in remission in Jackson’s case, and both illnesses made him sensitive to sunlight. The treatments he used for his condition further lightened his skin color and with the application of pancake makeup to even out blotches, he could appear very pale.
The structure of his face changed as well with many surgeons speculating that Jackson had undergone multiple nose surgeries, a forehead lift, thinned lips and a cheekbone surgeries. Some of his colleagues also reported that Jackson was often dizzy and speculated that he was suffering from anorexia nervosa.
In 1992, MJ founded the “Heal the World Foundation”. The charity organization brought underprivileged children to Jackson’s ranch, to go on theme park rides that Jackson had built on the property after he purchased it. The foundation also sent millions of dollars around the globe to help children threatened by war and disease. The Dangerous World Tour began on June 27, 1992, and finished on November 11, 1993.
The entertainer with the compassionate heart performed to 3.5 million people in 67 concerts. All profits from the concerts went to the “Heal the World Foundation”, raising millions of dollars in relief.
In a high-profile visit to several African countries, his first stop to Gabon was greeted with a reception of more than 100,000 people in “spiritual bedlam”, some of them carrying signs that read, “Welcome Home Michael”.
In the Ivory Coast, Michael was crowned “King Sani” by a tribal chief. He then thanked the dignitaries in French and English, signed official documents formalizing his kingship and sat on a golden throne while presiding over ceremonial dances.
One of MJ’s most acclaimed performances came during the halftime show at Super Bowl XXVII. As the performances began, Jackson was catapulted onto the stage as fireworks went off behind him. As he landed on the canvass, he maintained a motionless “clenched fist, standing statue stance”, dressed in a gold and black military outfit and sunglasses, he remained completely motionless for several minutes while the crowd cheered.
The entertainer then slowly removed his sunglasses, threw them away and began to sing and dance. His routine included four songs – Jam, Billie Jean, Black or White and Heal the World. It was the first Super Bowl where the audience figures increased during the half-time show, and was viewed by 135 million Americans alone.
In May 1994, Jackson married singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of the other “King”, Elvis Presley. They had first met in 1975 during one of Jackson’s family engagements at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, and were reconnected through a mutual friend in early 1993.
As child molestation accusations became public, Jackson became dependent on Lisa Marie for emotional support. She was concerned about his faltering health and addiction to drugs. Lisa Marie explained, “I believed he didn’t do anything wrong and that he was wrongly accused and yes I started falling for him. I wanted to save him. I felt that I could do it.”
Jackson finally proposed to Lisa over the phone towards the late part of 1993, “If I asked you to marry me, would you do it?” Lisa Marie Presley and Jackson were subsequently married in the Dominican Republic in secrecy. At the time, the tabloid media speculated that the wedding was a ploy to prop up Jackson’s public image in light of prior sexual abuse allegations.
Their marriage felled through when Jackson and Lisa divorced less than two years later. However, they remained as good friends.
Michael then kept a low profile in most of 1990s and pleasantly surprised the world with the released of Invincible in October 2001. To promote the new album, a special 30th Anniversary celebration at Madison Square Garden occurred in September 2001 to mark the Jackson’s 30th year as a solo artist.
Michael appeared onstage alongside his siblings for the first time since 1984. The mega celebration also featured performances by Mya, Usher, Whitney Houston, ‘N Sync, and Slash, alongside other celebrities.
In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Michael helped organize the United We Stand: What More Can I Give benefit concert at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. The concert was aired on October 21st October 2001, and included performances from dozens of celebrity entertainers, including Michael himself who performed his song “What More Can I Give” as the finale.
Jackson’s third child, Prince Michael Jackson II (also known as Blanket) was born in 2002. The mother’s identity was never known because he said the child was the result of artificial insemination from a surrogate mother and his own sperm cells.
In November 2002, Jackson brought his newborn son onto the balcony of his hotel room in Berlin, as fans stood below. Holding him in his right arm, Jackson briefly extended the baby over the railing of the balcony, four stories above ground level, causing widespread panic and criticism in the media. Michael later regretted and apologized for the incident, calling it “a terrible mistake”.
Then in a 2003 Granada Television documentary “Living with Michael Jackson”, he was seen holding hands and discussing sleeping arrangements with a boy named Gavin Arvizo, who would later accuse him of child sexual abuse.
MJ denied the sexual abuse allegations vigorously, saying that the sleep overs were in no way sexual in nature. His good friend, celebrity Elizabeth Taylor defended him on Larry King Live, saying that she had been there when they were in the bed, watching television and reiterated that there was nothing wrong about watching TV together.
During the investigation, Jackson’s profile was examined by mental health professional Dr. Stan Katz. Dr. Katz spent several hours with the accuser too. The assessment made by Katz was that Jackson had become a regressed 10-year-old and did not fit the profile of a pedophile.
The trial came two years after Jackson was first charged. During this period, Michael became dependent on morphine and Demerol, a dependency which he subsequently overcame. He also suffered from stress-related illnesses and severe weight loss that would alter his appearance. The intensely watched trial lasted five months and MJ was finally acquitted in May 2005.
Michael was supposed to make a spectacular comeback and had been scheduled to perform 50 sold-out concerts to over a million people at 02 Arena in London from July 13 to March 6, 2010. During a publicity press conference, he had made suggestions of possible retirement after the concert series.
However, on June 25th 2009, Michael Jackson collapsed at his rented mansion at North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles. Pending confirmation from toxicology reports, he was allegedly administered Demerol shortly before he stopped breathing. Attempts at resuscitating him by his personal doctors were unsuccessful.
The King Of Pop, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at approximately 2:25 p.m. local time. Rumors and news of Jackson’s death broke internet web records triggering a cyberspace traffic jam giving Google, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo their highest traffic on record.

Birth (Natal) Chart & Astrological Profile Of The Life And Death Of Michael Jackson “king Of Pop”
BIRTH (NATAL) CHART & ASTROLOGICAL PROFILE OF THE LIFE AND DEATH OF MICHAEL JACKSON “KING OF POP”
Michael Joseph Jackson’s (August 29, 1958-GARY INDIANOPLIS – June 25, 2009-LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA) life is an amazing story and his death is a sudden, and mysterious tragedy.
The planets and zodiac signs (astrology) have much to say about the birth/life of Michael Jackson and the circumstances surrounding his mysterious death.
The Birth (Natal) Chart Of Michael Jackson-Where The Planets And Signs Were At On August 29, 1958
Sun Sign-Ego-Virgo-Health and Finances
Pluto-is the Planet of the “Unknown” and the Ruler of the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio. Scorpio is the planet of extremes, storms, accusations, investigations, research, sensualities, secrets, and extreme emotions. Planet Pluto was in the Virgo constellation at Michael Jackson’s death. This implies that the Supernatural (Pluto) would have great emphasis on Michael Jackson’s health concerns (which is how he got the name “Wacko Jacko”), career (Michael Jackson’s career is Phenomenal) and finances (with Pluto’s help, Michael Jackson became the highest grossing entertainer of all time).
Neptune-is the ruler of the zodiac sign (Pisces-Inspiration and/or Psychic abilities)-the Planet which influences Dreams and Ideas was in Scorpio-Michael Jackson would pursue his dreams in the same fashion that a zealous Investigator would pursue answers to his investigations.
The Moon which controls emotions, healing, revelation, and eliminiations was in the sing of Pisces. This implies that Michael Jackson would be Inspirational (which he truly was) and might even have “Intuitive” abilities (which some call “psychic”)
Venus the planet (Venus rules Libra and Taurus) of Emotions and Finances was in Leo. Michael Jackson would courageously and passionately pursue his music and dancing career.
Uranus the planet of (suddeness (like electricity or shocks) was also in the courageous sing of Leo-Michael Jackson would boldly shock the world (often offending many) with his art and actions
The True (North) Node is the Zodiac sign that the person is to attain to in their life sign. Michael Jackson’s True Node is Libra. Libra is about Equality, Justice, Balance and Karma. Michael Jackson’s hailed Equality through his entire life.
Jupiter in Libra-Jupiter is the planet of Good Fortune and Expansion. On the day of Michael Jackson’s birth the Universe announced that Michael Jackson’s “theme of equality-’it doesn’t matter’” would be expansive (world wide) and bring him the Good Fortune of Jupiter
Saturn the planet of Responsibility and Karma and Karma was in Sagattarius-Sagattarius is the “fun”, “people” sign-Michael would be responsible or loyal to his “gift” of pleasing the people (the world’s most celebrated “pop” star and entertainer
ANALYZING THE RETROGRADE PLANETS IN MICHAEL JACKSON’S BIRTH (NATAL) CHART
A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to move backwards. Planets retrograde for one or two reasons: 1) to “pull” or “hold back” a person’s attention to the influence of a certain zodiac sign for a “review” or “re do”, and/or 2) to bring karma to a situation. This situation will be indicated by the zodiac sign that the planet retrogrades in.
Mercury is the planet of communication and short distant travel. Mercury rules both Gemini (the conflicting genius/twins) and Virgo (health and critical analysis). Leo is the sign of boldness. Mercury is retrograde in Leo because Michael Jackson the man, was different than Michael Jackson the entertainer. Michael Jackson the man was very shy and inhibit. Bruce Springsteen stated how nervous Michael Jackson was when the two met. Michael was, of course, the bigger star. Yet Michael was inherently shy.
Mercury is also retrograde because Michael Jackson would never be limited to short distant travels. Michael was destined for Universal appeal.
Mercury was also retrograde as planet Mercury rules the health sign, Virgo. Michael would have health concerns that he privately kept from the public.
Chiron-the healer was retrograde in Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of Enlightenment, Humane Actions, and Technology. We need to examine Aquarius’ ruler Uranus for answers. Uranus was in Leo foretelling that Michael Jackson’s shocks might offend many in the world. These such ones would not be “healed (Chiron)” by Michael Jackson’s antics. Aquarius is also Michael Jackson’s Imum Coeli. The Imum Coeli is the root and subconscious of the person. Michael definitely enlightened the world. Some Astrologers believe that the Imum Coeli associates this IC with the person’s future death. It appears that some form of “failing to heal (Chrion-Healer retrograde) or some form of offense would lead to the death of the enlightening Aquarius (Michael Jackson).
We now see what the Universe foretold on the day Michael Jackson was born. Let’s examine what the Universe said the day Michael Jackson died.
VIEWING THE ASTROLOGICAL CHART (PLANET LOCATIONS) OF THE DAY MICHAEL JACKSON DIED JUNE 25, 2009
Sun-ego-in Cancer-Family and Security-Cancer is ruled by the Moon-
Moon-Emotions, Subconscious, Healing, Eliminations and Revelations in Leo-Courage-Possible Leadership-Leo is ruled by the Sun
On the day of Michael Jackson’s death both the Sun and the Moon energized planet earth with a Family Lion influence
True Node-Aquarius-Enlightenment, Humane Actions, and Technology
Planet Uranus (the planet of shocks, eletricities, and rebellion) was in Pisces (the sign of Inspiration and Psychic abilities). Uranus rules Aquarius (enlightenment)
Pisces (ruled by planet Neptune) and Aquarius (which is ruled by Uranus) are both affected by Retrogrades (see the “planets retrograde” section.
The Universe would cause Michael’s expansive dreams and enlightenments to end (retrograde) in his death.
Venus in Taurus-The planet of Emotions and Finances Staunchly (stubbornly) emitted energy
Mars In Taurus-This “stubborn” energy of emotions and finances would cause struggles (Mars)
No doubt that Michael Jackson’s death led an innumerable amount of person rushing to determine (Mars/Aries struggle) where Michael’s finances (Venus) would go
Mercury (the communicator) in Gemini (conflicts)-Mercury also rules Virgo (health and critical analysis)
Michael Jackson death had the world of communications (media) announcing the death and the world in general critically (Virgo) analyzing the “how’s”, “when’s” and “why’s”
Saturn (responsibility and karma) in Virgo (health and critical analysis)-
In Early 2010 the rapper “Diamond (Brittany Nicole Carpenter)” stated (in an interview) that it was just time for Michael Jackson to leave us (June 25, 2009) as the relentless media had exhausted him. It appears that Saturn-the Karma planet agreed. Saturn appeared in Virgo (health) to take the “King (Lion) of Pop” from us.
THE RETROGRADE PLANETS ON THE DAY THAT MICHAEL JACKSON DIED
The Universe causes planets to retrograde for one or two reasons: 1) To “pull” a person “back” to something they need to “review” or “re do”. The area that needs to be reviewed is pointed out by the sign that the planet retrogrades in, and/or to send karma into a situation.
On the day Michael Jackson died, two planets were retrograde in Aquarius. Neptune the planet of Dreams and Jupiter the planet of Good Fortune and Expansion.
Essentially the Dreaming and Expansive mind of Michael Jackson was “pulled back” by the Universe in death.
Chiron the Healer was also retrograde in Aquarius. Amazingly Chiron-the Healer was also retrograde in Aquarius at Micheal’s birth. Please review that information above. Michael Jacksons’ birth Imum Coeli is Aquarius associated with Chiron retrograde and this Imum Coeli may have foretold the way Michael Jackson would die.
Once again we can see that the Universe announced the end (retrograde-pulling back) of the enlightening and humane works of Michael Jackson
The planet Pluto influences the unknown and rules Scorpio (the sign of research, sensuality, erratic actions, investigations, and research). Pluto was retrograde in Capricorn (the sign of the business world).
The business affairs (Capricorn) of Michael Jackson would be pulled back (retrograde) by the unknown (Pluto). Whether this implies murder or not, I will leave up to your own investigations.
Once again we can see that the Universe often records the birth, life, and death events of humans.

Michael Jackson Returns
Michael Jackson is probably the world’s greatest pop star. He’s as famous as Elvis and only Elton John has sold more records than he, and no one has sold more copies of one record (Thriller) than he has. He’s world renowned and a megastar in most countries and even now inspite of allegations of improprieties with children still has a huge fanbase. Few stars can boast of such a feat and fewer yet will ever achieve it. Yet this fame has come at a huge price and now this megastar, this once pop music juggernaut is in seclusion no one knows exactly where for he moves around quite a bit. After the trial that acquitted him of any wrongdoing he took off for a foreign land and stayed in the house of some prince or sheik (whatever) then he was off again to Ireland where purportedly he was looking at homes to buy, and finally in between appearances at trials for Civil Suits brought against him he finally landed in Vegas, so it is said. A quick trip to Japan where he was treated like the star he is and wants to be acknowledged as has been the only real public appearance he’s made and he charged thousands of dollars to those who wanted to be in his presence for a few minutes. Since then, nothing else has happened save the lawsuits that constantly harangue him as he tries to hold on to his most prized possessions; Neverland Ranch (why I don’t know), his music catalogues (The Beatles, Sly and the Family Stone, Parliament/Funkadelic) and most likely his sanity. How could so much go so wrong, I know he’s asking himself and I must admit when I’ve nothing better to do I’ve pondered it myself. I mean, he had everything any man could possibly want, and yet he’s had more trouble than any HUMAN could possibly deal with! WHAT WENT WRONG? Well my take on this may be a bit unflattering but trust you me, it’s kind compared to what others have said about him. But basically, when you wanna’ be a god instead of a man then you have to deal with godlike issues and one of those is rebellion of the masses.
I must say that at one time I worshipped the ground Michael Jackson walked on. I wanted to be him, I wanted to be like him, I wanted to be with him, I wished I was his brother, I would have been his pet dog just to be near him. He was perfect in every way to me and I absolutely adored him for it. But then things started to go wrong in paradise like when he had his first nose-job. I wondered why he did that for I felt there was nothing wrong with his appearance. Notwithstanding that at the time he STILL looked like a black man, so I forgave that. I didn’t like him walking around with the monkey either but okay he can afford a monkey let him have one. Then he came out with his new cd ‘Bad’ and I noticed he was 100 shades lighter than he was on the cover of ‘Thriller’ (not my favorite album. I preferred ‘Off the Wall’) and then I knew something was wrong. Plus with another nose job and other things done (the cheeks, the chin, the eyes) my hero was starting to look like a sideshow FREAK! What happened to this beautiful black man who had been the pride of Afrocentric rebellion and strength? He had went Hollywood in the worst way and even beyond that; he turned his back on us and showed us how proud he was to be Black, NOT AT ALL! He wanted to be something else and it was reflected in the choices he had made in his professional and personal life. After realizing that,and it was a hard realization to come to, my hero became a big fat zero and I wasn’t the only one. He has disappointed many people and thank God for one thing that didn’t really change all that much; and that’s the quality of his music. The music was still pretty good (though his attempts to transform himself into a rock star was ludicrous at best) and even his last CD ‘Invincible’ sold 9 million copies. He’s got the chops and the fanbase to still be out making hit records. Even after the trial and all the accusations he’s faced over being a pedophile (which I’m not sure what to make of. Who pays 20million dollars to somebody and they’re innoccent?) he’s still got tremendous support amongst the populace. If he put a record out today it would be no.1 by tomorrow and he could command a nice price for a world tour should he decide to do one. The only other thing he could do for me personally is to give back that Beatles song catalog to Paul McCartney. They were friends at one time and it was wrong of him to do that to a friend, even in bizness. Now maybe Paul would have done it to him had he the chance (maybe) but maybe not! He hasn’t had that chance and then too business should never come before friendship. Eitherway, mayhaps one day Mike will sit down and review his life and look at his mistakes and learn that he’s not a god nor the answer to the world’s problems. He’s just an R&B singer who’s good at his job and that’s all he should do.

The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, Makes Some Buzz
After nearly a year of silence, the king of pop Michael Jackson is back in the limelight.
Â
You remember him. Right? Come on the guy is a worldwide legend. As an artist he performed great dance move (the moonwalk being the most memorable one), he is listed in the Guinness World Record for “First Entertainer to Earn More Than 100 Million Dollars in a Year” and “First Entertainer to Sell More Than 100 Million Albums Outside the United States”, performed at many of sold out worldwide concerts; as a humanitarian he is listed in the Guinness World Record for supporting 39 charities â I’m sure many though Oprah held the title – , co wrote We Are The World to help the poor in Africa and America and dedicate many other singles to charities; on a personnel level, he is mostly known for his multiple plastic surgeries and skin lightening – I wonder what he checks when he fills out an application: black or white.
Sadly his career went downright after sponsors canceled their contracts, addiction to drugs (supposedly due to stress) and, the biggest one, child sexual abuse accusations, first in 1993 then 2005.
Â
He moved to the Persian Gulf island of Bahrain on June 25th 2005. While there, there were rumors going around about him building theme parks. He was once spotted once shopping wearing a robe and a veil. Seems like the culture was very convenient when it came walking around incognito. He also lived in France and Ireland.
To celebrate his 50th birthday, an album title King Of Pop was release on August 29th 2008, with tracks voted by fans. The album had different track list according to how the fans of each nations voted.
He came back to the US a little over a year ago, and settled in Las Vegas, but managed to stay out of limelight.
Â
After staying in a Palms Suite for several months, Michael now resides in a mansion close to an elementary school which his children attend .Many parents are complaining since the guy was accused of child molestation (more than once) and are worried about their children’s safety. Looks like “Innocent till proven guilty” doesn’t exactly apply to people who have been accused of child sexual abuse.
Â
While in Australia, Michael’s older brother, Jermaine, said that there will be a Jackson 5 reunion and that they were planning on going on tour.
Â
Michael Jackson said in a statement that he be part of it. “My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them,” he said. “I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon.”
Â
Does it mean that The King Of Pop is planning a major come back? With the child sexual abuse allegations haunting him, I wonder if it will work. I also wonder if at half a century old, he can still dance as he used. Can you imagine him on stage doing all those moves he used to in the past and breaking his back then being carried off stage on a gurney? Now that would be funny!
Madalin Games: sites.google.com = Michael Jackson Search Engine = sites.google.com “Smooth Criminal” is the seventh single from Michael Jackson ‘s Bad album (1988). The song contains a fast-paced beat intertwined with Michael’s lyrics about a woman named Annie, who has been attacked in her apartment by a “smooth” assailant. It was released as a single on October 24, 1988 and peaked at 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was re-released on April 10, 2006 as a part of the Visionary: The Video Singles box-set. The re-released Visionary single charted at #19 in the UK. In 2003, the song appeared on the Number Ones greatest hits album. “Smooth Criminal” was presented in a ten-minute long clip in which Michael dances through a 1930s-style nightclub (known in the film as “Club 30s”). The version of the song used in the clip is different from the album version: the background beats are different, there are several new lyrics (see below), and the song is much longer overall. The version of the video that is usually aired on network television is 4 minutes long and is merely a sped up version of the clip from the film. Michael briefly moonwalks before the famous anti-gravity lean. The ten minute long “Smooth Criminal” clip is reminiscent of the musical number known as “The Girl Hunt Ballet” which is featured as the final number in the 1952 musical film The Band Wagon starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. “The Girl Hunt Ballet” is a spoof of Mickey Spillane’s hard-boiled detective …
This compilation features 10 of Michael Jackson’s greatest video hits, including “Billie Jean,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Black or White,” “Rock With You” and others. 90 minutes.

Michael Jackson Wants to Bury the Hatchet With Sir Paul Mccartney
The King of Pop plans to make peace with his long-time Beatle foe. After a rivalry that has spanned nearly 24 years, Michael Jackson is thinking of giving his portion of the highly profitable Beatles back catalogue to Sir Paul McCartney, one of the Beatlesâ main songwriters. McCartney was obviously infuriated when the Gloved One outbid him back in 1985 to gain the possession of the 350 million-pound publishing rights for the entire Lennon-McCartney songbook. Now, he might just get back what he deserved.
Jackson, who is reportedly undergoing a serious genetic lung disease, longs to settle their squabble in case his condition gets much worse. In the latest version of his will, he has indicated that McCartney will have full power over the songbook the moment Jackson passes away.
It has been revealed by sources close to Jackson that he has always felt upset over the feud with the knighted Beatle. One source stated: “Michael is worried about his health so he decided it was time to look at his finances. Most of his estate has been divided up between his three children. But Michael told his lawyers that he was sad as he no longer talks to Sir Paul and said he wanted to make things right.”
The source went on to say: “Michael is suffering serious back and leg pain. He spends a lot of time in bed and a wheelchair. He weighs just over seven stone and is very frail. He’s also had a nasty bout of emphysema and there have been reports he has another lung disease.”
Songs from the Lennon-McCartney songbook include many of historyâs greatest pop songs such as âAcross the Universe,â âBlackbird,â âThe Fool on the Hill,â âTicket to Ride,â âNorwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown,â âThe Long and Winding Road,â âHere, There and Everywhere,â âI Want to Hold Your Hand,â âLucy in the Sky with Diamonds,â âLet It Be,â âYellow Submarine,â and âYouâve Got to Hide Your Love Away.â Suffice it to say that classics such as these would garner lots of profits for the person who has control over them.
