The Michael Jackson Metamorphosis



Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, and all I can think about is what he would've looked like had he not had all those surgeries.

I wonder if he would've gone through all the crap he went through had he seemed more "normal" to the outside world.

Why did he change his look so drastically? Why wasn't he happy with himself? Did his radical surgeries kill his career? Did people have a hard time looking directly at him?

At the end of the day, Michael Jackson was a man with feelings and emotions like the rest of us, but most people couldn't see it because they were so busy looking away in horror.

Michael Jackson was an amazing artist, a great dancer, and he did set the standard for most pop artists today. Unfortunately, he faded out in the late '90s and then became more famous for his personal life than his professional one.

I grew up on Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, and HIStory, so I know how amazing all his songs are, I just wish we could've seen the real Michael Jackson and appreciated him in all his glory.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson, you will be missed.
