(51) someone i wanna meet

I think it would be really cool to meet Michael Jackson and see what he was really like. I feel like he led a really interesting life, and had a pretty troubled childhood. I always wondered what made him feel the need to change his appearance so much and get into all the drama that he did while he was still alive. Growing up black and changing his skin color (i don't know...is that a medical condition? or did he bleach it? no idea) seems like a really drastic thing to do, and for him to get all those nose jobs and stuff, he must have had a lot going on. All the controversy with his child molestation, his masked kids, how he died, i feel like everything that happened in his life would make for a really lengthy novel. Everyone knew about how he had a mansion with a theme park, and about the women in his life, but I think his private life was way more complicated than people can imagine. To be able to sit down and have an actual conversation with him would be fascinating, because i would actually get to see what he was like in a casual setting, and not being hounded by the paparazzi, or putting on a show for an audience. I think any celebrity is a different person without the cameras constantly in their faces, and it would be nice to just have a normal conversation with one of them. I'm sure many other celebrities have riveting life stories as well, but Michael Jackson's life intrigues me because of all the mystery and controversy. Even the way he died brought about commotion and gossip, showing how up until his death, he was someone worth talking about. After he died, I saw and heard about him EVERYWHERE, just like a true icon.

  1. It would be truly fascinating meeting him, if you could ask him all these things and why and how he did it, even though he's not one of my favorite people.
