The Life of Michael Jackson Idol Superstar (1/3).
For Michael Jackson, childhood was once a memory he didn't want to touch. On the one hand, he enjoys the glory of being a child star since childhood, but on the other hand, no one knows how much he suffered for it.
In this process, his father, Joseph Jackson, played an important role. You have to admit that Jackson Sr. was a brilliant man, and he put together five of the five people he considered the most musically gifted of his children to form a band called the Jackson Five Brothers. Among so many children, he singled out Michael Jackson as the lead singer.
But on the other hand, it also proves that Michael is indeed the best one. Whether it was singing or dancing, just as a father of the band's manager, the means of grooming him were too cruel. He kept sitting in a chair with a belt and forced Jackson and his brothers to practice and record in the studio.
And one image that impressed Jackson's childhood was that of him in the recording studio, looking out the window at his peers playing on the lawn. In Jackson's mind, his father never expressed love to him, including a word of praise, the highest reward, a good one. And when he did something wrong, it was to beat mercilessly, until the mother cried next to him and said: Stop, you will kill him!
Therefore, Michael's life has not been out of his father's influence, so that after achieving fame, he tried to use various means to compensate for those regrets, such as the abnormal and crippled childhood, and the nose that was always ridiculed by his father as ugly. But in any case, the talented Michael has become a rising star after all, under the education and inspiration of his father's Pippi.
Although the Jackson Five brothers are becoming more and more popular and releasing singles that always reach the top of the charts, Michael's star is always the brightest and a solitary existence that completely surpasses this band.
In 1969, Joseph Jackson moved his family to Los Angeles, California, ready to go full steam in this starry land. That same year, Michael Jackson's first solo single, Want You Back topped the charts. After another decade, the immature little Michael finally spread his wings.
On August 10, 1979, Michael Jackson released his debut solo album, Offthe Wall. The album stayed on the US Albums Chart for a total of 84 weeks, and all four of its singles reached the top 10. Michael won the Grammy Award for Best RnB Male Vocalist for that Dont Stop Until You Get Enough.
That year, Michael Jackson was 21 years old, and he was no longer a child star, but a real entertainer. If you had to give Michael Jackson a name for fame, it would be 1982. Michael Jackson released Thriller, perhaps the most iconic music album of his life. Before the release, Michael said in an interview that he was very dissatisfied with the album, and even cried in disappointment after listening to it in its entirety for the first time, asking the record company not to release it, and wanted to smash the master. But on one outing for a walk, he said he rode his bike past an elementary school, saw children frolicking inside, and then went back to the studio, risking being sued for breach of contract and changing all the arrangements.
