Many people would pass up listening to the styles of the new/old Michael Jackson, but do you know why? Why do people absolutely refuse to claim they have ever heard his music? Why do parents ban their children's CD selection from some of his greatest hits, like Bad, or Thriller? Why do people hate him? Many reasons of course, some lies, some true, some public. And some private.

Michael was very famous from the beginning of his life. He started at such a young age, he doesn't remember much. His memories are so vague, he can't remember why a lot of people began hating him at that age. Well, one thing was that his sister's, LaToya, and Janet, weren't included. In his book, "Moonwalk", written a few years back, he stated that people would see them on the streets and shun them, saying they were "sexist siblings" and "they should let the girls be in the group." Michael, of course, had no choice in this whole ordeal, which was hard on him, because him and Janet got along well, at the early ages. Seeing and hearing this stuff made Michael very optimistic, and sensitive on the situation.

When Michael was in the Jackon-5, he had absolutely no freedoms. He would have late-night recordings, and would have troubles in school. Most of his attention from his parents was on the business, they never gave him the attention he lacked, he was pretty lonely.

After Michael grew up, and he moved on in his career out of J-5, he was thought low of to everyone in the music/movie industry. Brooke Shields once quoted that he was a "lowly-person, who needed help", plus some other things that cannot be said. Jackson did have some people of whom thought very high of him, Elizabeth Taylor was one of his best friends throughout the hard stages. He looked up to her, and vise versa. With the help of her, he got through the depression of his family members (LaToya mostly) disliking him, and disapproving of him.

When Michael realized that his reputation was not the hottest on the press, he totally gave up on his self image, caring less on what he looked like, and began foolish rumors about himself. He use to tell reporters when they would ask him on his "transformation to being white" that "his dad beat him

to white." They of course gulped in every bit of information ever said, sarcastic, or not. They could turn his life into a big lie. Which was what Michael was wishing for, so that people wouldn't think of the other rumors about him.

Jackson was pretty harsh on himself, he had many rumors about him, some of which are true, and to this day he isn't afraid/embarrassed to claim them. In his life, he has had 6 nose jobs. They all ruined his nose to the point where he had to use putty to transform the nose that he once had, but was corrupted by the irritability from the jobs.

He had a undisclosed amount of Face lifts, and eye jobs. They, of which were in a short period of time, killed many cells in his face, and made him look even more pale then usual.

He also had bone grafted cheek bones, he had this done over and over many times, and he still wasn't satisfied with his appearance, so he got a forehead lift. He was finally secured in feeling that it was a good personal image.

Now, many people find it totally and completely disgusting and unnecessary. That is why he has a low image on people who believe that he didn't need all of these plastic surgeries.

When Michael was going through his depression stages, he was lonely, and sad. So, he followed through what his ex-father-in-law did, and he bought a chimp to keep him company. His Chimps name was "Bubbles." Michael did everything with it, and it got famous too. But, as time went on, Michael got worse in his position, and the chimp was suddenly more famous then Michael himself. One day, Michael went crazy, and yelled
