Michael and sister, Janet with pet rats
Michael Jackson was the seventh child of nine. At a young age, he and his sister Janet were very close. Jackson had pet rats. Him and Janet would love to be with them. He got the chance to record a song about the rat called "Ben" which was a dream come true for MJ (Jackson, Katherine"). Michael Jackson had a warm heart toward his family, as well as animals. He took care of what he loved and he has a passion for animals. His smile shows that he was heartfelt and excited to be where he was. -
Michael Jackson's first concert
Michael Jackson performed his first concert in Marbella, Spain. He had more than 28,000 fans show out. This was apart of Jackson's 'Bad World Tour' (SUR.es). Michael Jackson was really involved in his music and clearly got it out to the public quick if that many people came. Jackson was rocking out this night and couldn't be more thrilled to be on that stage. Starting at a young age with Jackson 5 for sure helped his major success. -
Blanket Baby
Michael Jackson caught the attention of many when he hung his son over a third story balcony in Berlin. While doing this to meet fans, there was also a blanket over the child's face. The little boy soon was nicknamed "Blanket" ("News, BBC"). This was clearly a mistake in MJ's life. It created a bit of a bad rep and you can see that although he might be famous, as well as an amazing artist, he does not care about the safety of his baby. This was a time when he shied away from the public. -
Plastic surgery to change nose
He had many facial reconstructions throughout his career. He grew up just as his siblings did in an African American family. They all had the curly hair and a darker complexion, but clearly he didn't feel comfortable in his own skin ("Keefe, Mike"). Jackson changed not only his skin, but his nose over the years. He must've not liked the way he looked and wanted change. He didn't even look like the same person. This was a hard time for him as being uncomfortable in your own skin is never okay. -
