Michael Jackson at 19 talking about growing up in show biz


Sorry I didn't put this in the stickie, it's taking so long for it to download.

This is MJ age 19 talking about growing up in showbiz, starting at 30 seconds into the doc.. It was part of an Australian news programme about his death. What was most interesting, however is talking to the interviewer 30 years on about Michael Jackson and he offers some more information about MJ upbringing.

Also check out MJ beautiful eyes and smile and behind all that hair there was a wonderful, natural bone structure. He didn't have to change himself at all.

I don't get why Mike is saying he seemed so innocent and childlike and different then, and acting like he has now changed so much (personality-wise). If anything it shows Michaels always been like that his whole life and hasnt really changed much at all.

I watched this yesterday. I can't believe my entire life I had no idea that Michael used to be so cute! I just found out when he died. It's a shame. I wish that I was born earlier.

You must be so young. I alway feel bless that I can remember Michael almost from the beginning, before Thriller and even OTW. I really don't think I would have any appreciation of him if I came to know of him during the Dangerous or History era, because by that time it was more about his celebrity and not his music. I remember him how he once was and that's how I will continue to remember him.

Did MJ or anyone else in his family graduate high school?

According to his death certificate, yes. I think all nine Jacksons graduated from some form of high school. Joe & Katherine were high school graduates (I thought Joe had dropped out but he didn't).

I could see that. At the same time I'm not really annoyed about the skin color change because I'm used to him looking that way. & I had grown immune to his eccentricities as well.

They all did. But I don't know if any of them did any form of college. Janet said she always wanted to.

Nope, not as far as I know they didn't.
