Michael Jackson was not a superstar, he was a victim. Beyond the mansions, the international fame, the millions of dollars and the tours, there was a broken man whose life was marked by emotional problems, cruelty and, above all, a lot of loneliness. If you thought that Jackson had been someone with an enviable life and a few problems, you are wrong. After listening to his story, what you think of him may change completely, since I will not talk about his personal life and his dark thoughts, from his abusive father and the matter with the children until the day he left this world.

So, let's start.

It is August 1958 in a small industrial town called Gary, Indiana, a child is born who will change the world of entertainment forever. His parents are lower class, Joseph Jackson and his wife Catherine have three daughters and five sons. His mother is loving, but his father is a very disciplined and strict man, very strict and always looking to improve the quality of life of the family. However, the things that his father is about to do to improve the family economy will have serious consequences on Little Michael's Mental Health.

Joseph notices that his children have dancing and singing skills from a young age, so he decides to create a family group, which Michael Jackson joins when he is only 6 years old. His father quickly adopts the role of manager and puts his children to work hard because he knows that the boys have the potential to stand out in the artistic world. A few years later, the Jackson Five win a talent contest. After this, they begin to do small tours of bars, local auditoriums, school dances and nightclubs. In 1967, Joe professionalizes the band by signing their first contract with a record company. The success of the entire group is increasing and they begin to have increasing recognition. However, behind all this recognition there is a sad Hidden Side.

Joe well was not only strict he was also violent he yelled at them and hit them during rehearsals to make sure things went perfectly he would sit in a chair in front of them with a belt in his hand to watch them closely. in 1969 in a contest called Miss Black America that show was watched by hundreds of thousands of people so it gave them even more exposure and recognition many of the interviews focused almost exclusively on little Michael and important magazines like The Rolling Stone declared him a prodigy but that same year when Michael was only 11 years old the group released the song I want you back and it became a resounding success so much so that it quickly became the most popular song in the whole of the United States in this song Michael is the main voice so most of the attention is focused on him.

this fact is very important because little by little he is heading towards making his solo career and just like that it was at the same time that he worked with his brothers Michael began his career as a soloist and with each album that he publishes he improves a little more, the boy is slowly preparing to create the album that will mark a before and after in his solo career, the famous album Of The Wall. until now everyone sees the group and Michael as superstars but behind the show there is a boy who lost something very important. until now all the work success has been at the cost of a lot of work but above all at the cost of his childhood. so that you can imagine the amount of work that he had until then when Michael Jackson was 20 years old he had released 14 albums as a group with his brothers or in other words with the Jackson Five and as a solo artist Michael had released four. if we add everything up it gives us a total of 18 albums.

June 25, 2009 was a day like any other. Dr. Murray administered Michael his doses of propofol so he could sleep, but this time Jackson's body reacted differently. It went from a moderate sedation to a deep sedation, causing his body to stop breathing and die of respiratory failure. When the paramedics arrived, they tried to revive him without success and hours later he was declared dead. Many people in his close and not so close circle knew of his dependence and abuse of drugs and could have helped him by sending him to rehabilitation. However, sending him to rehabilitation meant that he would stop working, stop the shows and therefore stop generating money. Therefore, the partners and contractors, instead of intervening when his relationship with drugs became dangerous, chose to close their eyes and let Michael continue abusing these substances since it was more profitable to do that than to help him.

This is not a happy story. Michael was treated throughout his life as a means to an end. Here we have a man who transcended borders, broke records and entertained millions. but at the same time lived in an emotional and social prison from his earliest childhood to his final days his story began with a childhood that was overshadowed by work as his father and other adults dragged him into show business he was taught from a very early age that his worth lay in his ability to act to be a bankable commodity rather than in his simple existence as a human being and as he grew older that scrutiny intensified to unimaginable levels depression and anxiety are not surprising when every aspect of your life is publicly scrutinized and judged the media far from being impartial observers often became accusers aggravating his already fragile emotional state the most painful thing about michael's story is perhaps the penetrating loneliness that seemed to haunt him in a world that valued him more for what he could offer than for who he was authentic human connection became a rarity almost a luxury people who might have offered support friendship often approached him with an agenda seeing him as a means to something else rather than valuing him as an end in itself this constant objectification and exploitation from his childhood contributed to a life of emotional isolation and dependence on drugs, perhaps a form of self-medication in the absence of healthier and more loving alternatives. Reflecting on Michael's life, we are faced with a harsh lesson about the human cost that is often paid when we forget that behind every product there is a person. His life was a wake-up call about what can happen when we treat people as means to an end rather than as human beings deserving of love and respect.

Now let's talk about your work

"Billie Jean" (1982)

• This is one of her biggest hits. It appeared on the album Thriller (1982), the best-selling album of all time. "Billie Jean" was a landmark both musically and visually, notable for its unforgettable bass line and Jackson's innovative choreography, including the famous "moonwalk." The song reached #1 on the Billboard charts and stayed there for seven consecutive weeks.

"Thriller" (1982)

• "Thriller" is not only a song, but also a cultural phenomenon. The music video, directed by John Landis, became a milestone in the history of musical cinema, mixing horror and dance in a zombie story. The song also became a worldwide hit, and its impact lasts to this day.

"Beat It" (1982)

• Another gem from Thriller, this song is known for its powerful guitar solo, performed by Eddie Van Halen. "Beat It" tackled themes of violence and struggle, and its video made a difference with its dance and gang-fighting elements.
