Michael didn't have a chance, he had such a messed up childhood, it's a shame. It seems to happen to most child stars. I'm sure Britney Spears' mom is not too happy with the way her daughter turned out.

Have you been watching the Danny Bonaduce Show or something?

I agree. I wouldn't even won't my child in the entertainment business. It's a shame how the media hypes these kids up to be the best and when they finally get there, they tear them down...

Is this a comedy thread?

Let's keep it to child "music" stars... Michael, Britney, ummm, Christina, Lindsey Lohan, etc...

Michael had natural talent, but look how his life turned out?

They all have one thing in common that makes them doomed, but not because they were/are child stars.

As we walked into the room,
There were faces
Staring, glaring, tearing through me
Someone said welcome to your doom
Then they smiled with eyes
That looked as if they knew me
This is scaring me

honestly, most of the credit can be given to these child stars' parents

to christina's credit she seems to have avoided all the drama the other's havent...

Marlon Jackson lost his childhood too. He's 1 year older than Michael and he turned out fine. He's still married to the same woman unlike all his other brothers.

All joined the Mickey Mouse club eh?
