HIS PROBLEMS Jackson was also famous for his scandalous life. Some people believe that his strange behavior was originated by his hard childhood. As he was growing, he began to bleach his skin until he become white. Furthermore, he changed his noise. Another great problem to him was he was accused of child sexual abuse, but the police did not find evidence and, for this reason, he was acquitted. Moreover, he was so crazy that he held his son over a hotel balcony in Berlin.

THESIS His skills in the music and dance were obvious. However, all the genius had had a point of madness, and Michael Jackson was not an exception. The beginning of his madness was his hard childhood. Moreover, other important point to stress is his illness, which is called Peter Pan. Consequently, Michael Jackson called his house “Neverland” which is a theme park since he thought that he always had to enjoy himself.

CONCLUSION Had Michael Jackson been a great star if he would not have had all these problems and his strange illness? Has his music had effects on people? The key of his success was his illness (Peter Pan’s syndrome), because this disease was the cause of his madness, which made him a really genius. Because of this idea, we could think that if he had not been sick, he would not have been so creative. We might say that his strange behavior was admired for a lot of fans since they want to be like him. Moreover some fans copied his clothing and his ways of acting. However, his fans’ obsessions have gone to be madness, because somebody, when he died, wants to die too.
