A man who SHOULD have gone down in history as a highly respected pop music Icon. Unfortunately, he'll probably be most remembered for his alleged pedophilia and bizzare eccentricities.

The process in which a black man becomes a white woman.

A recording artist, singer, dancer, and actor who, during the early 1970's rose to stardom as a young boy fronting the family pop group The Jackson 5. The band was one of several family pop acts of its day (see also The Partridge Family and The DeFranco Family)which rose to stardom due to intense promotion and merchandising, heavy AM radio play, and their own television show.

During the 80's Michael Jackson began a wildly successful career as a solo artist. With the release of his record-breaking seminal album "Thriller" and a slew of connected music videos, Jackson's signature dance moves (see Moonwalk) and trademark saccharine-soprano voice became ubiquitous symbols of American pop culture.

However, personal problems, scandals and lawsuits have plagued the artist throughout his career. Most notably a paternity suit brought by the eponymous Billy Jean Castleberry, who claimed that Jackson fathered her illegitamate child; and persistent charges that Jackson has engaged in improper sexual conduct with young boys who have been guests at his Neverland Ranch in California.

Jackson's penchant for altering his appearance ...

A made up creature that is used by parents to make their kids do what they are told.

A punchline to any joke you want.

Okay, there were too many stupid definitions in here that I feel inclined to answer to. First of all, if you're going to be prick and use his name as slander and synonymous with child molestation, at least learn how to fucking spell pedophilia! This is a dictionary, please have the nerve to spell words right. This is going to be a LONG definition because theres so much bullshit that needs to be corrected, but I am willing to do the task because someone has to make up for all the lack of intelligence. If you really want to know the truth about Michael Jackson, you will read all this. If you want to stay an ignorance douche, by all means skip this because your mind cannot hold the concept of common sense and wit if your life depended on it.

Common Misconceptions:

1. Skin Color.

Michael Jackson does not bleach his skin. He has a skin disorder vitiligo], that gradually strips away the pigment on the skin in uneven blotches/patches, leaving it porcelain white and is permanent. Those blotches were covered up with make-up to even out his complexion in the 80s, but it was only effective for awhile. As it gets worse,

you have to apply more and wearing full bodied makeup would be very hard. The depigmentation process takes awhile to complete and it is permanent. The medication monobenzylether of hydroquinone is used to do this and is very strong, it is typically only prescribed to vitiligo...
