Mocienne Petit Jackson and Michael Jackson top albums, life and his kids today: Martin Scorcese directed the music video for Bad. Scorcese is most famous for his films Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The Wolf of Wall Street. On the day he passed away (June 25th, 2009) Wikipedia, Twitter and AOL all simultaneously crashed at 3:15PM. This would’ve made our bills way more interesting. An island in the Caribbean once created Michael Jackson stamps. Jackson allegedly racked up a $1 million worth of library fines – how many books did he borrow?! The residents of Gabon, Ivory Coast gave Michael Jackson a royal title – which effectively made him a king in the village.

Songs review : Michael Jackson family today and his top songs: On the afternoon of June 25th, you couldn’t walk across the street without hearing “Billie Jean” or “Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough”. Everyone heard the news and they turned to the guy’s discography. Since a great deal of the population didn’t own the records anymore – or, as many of you born in 1984 probably experienced, were forbidden to listen to ’em around the early ’90s – places like Best Buy and/or iTunes witnessed a spike in sales. Within a month, any financial troubles Jackson had left behind were a thing of the past. What’s more, much like the rest of the population, record companies re-discovered his talent again, too. Big whigs signed contracts, projects were penciled in, and products were shipped left and right. Admittedly, and looking back, it’s one of the most impressive comebacks a musician’s ever had – if only it weren’t laced in so much tragedy. Then again, death’s also tricky.

Thriller (1982): Let’s ignore the fact that Thriller is the best-selling album IN THE HISTORY OF THE PLANET or that its album cover is one of the most recognized in music history. Thriller earns its place atop this list because in just nine tracks, it rewrote all the rules. The title track is almost a clichéd Halloween song in 2018, but in its heyday the 14-minute video broke barriers for artists of color. “Billie Jean” was so popular that it forced MTV to not only pay more attention to black artists, but also caused it to shift its programming focus to pop and R&B records. Every single track is instantly recognizable to even novice music fans and the album was so good that it became MJ’s curse – he was never able to top it, so all subsequent releases were slighted by fans and critics. Thriller opened doors for musicians of color, put music videos on the map and made Michael Jackson the greatest performer of all time. Yes, it’s MJ’s best album. Maybe the best album ever.

About Michael Jackson: The 33-year-old had recently signed the most lucrative contract in recording history, worth hundreds of millions, giving him his own label and the highest royalty rate in the industry. What’s more, no one thought it was out of line for someone who had sold close to 70 million records in the previous decade. In the press, Sony claimed the deal would reap them billions. So when he released the first single from Dangerous, his first album in four years, fanatical interest led MTV, VH1, BET, and Fox to televise it at the same time—offering the greatest strategic victory since the Berlin Wall tumbled two years prior. And even though Jackson technically didn’t cause the collapse of East German Communism, his star wattage was so supreme that the Stasi secret police spied on him during his 1988 Berlin concert, fearing that obsessive MJ fans would accomplish what Reagan couldn’t.

La deuxième partie de l’autobiographie en trois parties de Mocienne Petit Jackson commence par une description détaillée de l’enlèvement de Mocienne et de sa vie aux Pays-Bas. Par la suite, le récit nous devoile comment se déroule sa vie avec sa famille adoptive, chez qui elle reste en compagnie de la cousine Délivrance. Petit à petit, elle découvre que son vrai père est Michael Jackson. À l’âge de 15 ans, elle quitte sa famille adoptive et vit dans un internat pendant 4 ans, avant de s’installer vivre toute seule. Nous la suivons tout au long de son adolescence et de son entrée dans la maturité, ce qui n’a pas toujours été facile. Mocienne rencontre un homme avec lequel elle a un enfant. Cependant, cet engagement ne dure pas. Nous en apprenons davantage sur les problèmes qu’elle rencontre avec les Services de Protection de l’Enfance, suivis de nombreuses affaires judiciaires. Au début, celles-ci portaient sur sa propre personne, plus tard, elles se transforment en bataille pour la garde de son fils. Une situation inacceptable prend le relais d’une autre situation inacceptable. Nous sommes également mis au courant de nombreux événements traumatisants vécus par le personnage principal, de ses dépressions et de ses nombreuses luttes pour faire face à la misère imprégnée dans sa vie et à son combat pour s’en débarrasser. L’auteur explique clairement ces luttes à travers de vifs flashbacks : Thriller Le Côté Sombre des Pays-Bas (French Edition).
