Michael Jackson: The King of Pop
Michael Jackson was someone who was incredibly shy and easily embarrassed when not on-stage, standing, strutting or dancing in the spotlight.
Very minimal damage to the cover including scuff marks, but no holes or tears. I'm here on Earth for a reason, and that's my job, to make people happy."
He then went on to say that (even at the age of 22) he had been entertaining most of his life, and consequently found being around real people strange. Only the fans and his close associates seemed to understand and accept what the media portrayed as a strange, complex individual with a lifestyle that appeared to push as many boundaries off stage as did Michael's live performances, his songs and his ground-breaking music videos - or "short films" as he called them.
He was bound to attract controversy, jealousy, extortion attempts, and the inevitable media backlash.
Not even death has eroded his popularity: he still remains one of the world's highest-earning celebrities. Used - Good: A book that has been read but is in good condition. Onstage, he lives a stream of silky, seraphic lifetimes. and clearly reveals why he was the true King of Pop.

At times his perfectionism, prescription drug dependence, financial problems and legal battles invited criticism, which he sometimes did little to convincingly allay.It's magic. I just light up. I try to, sometimes, but people won't deal with me in that way, because they see me differently."

If Roberts had declared the pop music genre had grown small back in 1997, how much smaller is it now without Michael Jackson, we might ask?
This final chapter of Michael's life and Robert's tribute is, of course, a sad, sad finale to the life and career of the King of Pop.
Although, with over 200 hours of music in the can yet to be released, Michael's career is probably far from over.
Even the live global telecast of his celebrity-laden public memorial service - with Michael's gold coffin front and centre, and his daughter Paris stealing the limelight from industry legends - merely added to the Michael Jackson legend.
If there is a problem with Roberts' version of events in this publication, it is that at times he relies too heavily on other media sources and fails to fully explain some of the more puzzling aspects of Jackson's life which family, friends and Michael himself have spoken about.
In that sense, Roberts' biographical picture is incomplete, and at times merely scratches the surface of the public part of Jackson's life.
