MY FAVORITE SINGER
MY FAVORITE SINGER My favorite singer is Michael Jackson. I like his songs very much because they are full of energy and very melodic. I like to listen to his songs and do something. In the morning I turn on my cassette-player, listen to Michael Jackson and do my morning exercises. I also like the way he dances.

I’d like to tell you a few words about Michael Jackson’s earliyer days. There were ten in Michael’s family. They lived in a small four-room house. Michael Jackson sang in public for the first time when he was five. Since that time he has always beyen in the public eye. Michael’s father wanted all his five sons to be professional musicians. As the Jackson 5 they became professional when Michael was eight years old.

They moved to Detroit and became the best-selling group of Motown Records. When Michael started to sing in the Jackson 5 he was only five years old and he couldn’t understand a great deal of what was going on around him. People made a lot of decisions concerning his life and he didn’t take part in it. Michael loved to sing. He wasn’t forced into this business. He worked a lot and he did it because he enjoyed it and because it was natural for him. There were times when he came home from school and he only had time to put his books and get ready for the studio. He often sang until late at night, even if it was past his bed time.

There was a park across the street from the studio, and Michael looked at the kids playing games. And he just stared at them in wonder — he couldn’t imagine such freedom, such a carefree life. But he didn’t work in vain. He learned a lot. He had to struggle, he had to sacrifice a lot. Now he says about himself that he feels like an old soul, someone who has seen a lot and experienced a lot. We don’t know much about his personal life because Michael avoids publicity. He seems to be full of contradictions.

He is very shy and as he himself says, in the crowd he is afraid, on stage he is safe. He would sleep on stage if he could. He is well-known for his childish tastes. It’s not a secret that his favorite hero is Peter Pan. Michael has been called "the child who never grew up", but I think he is a grown-up who was never allowed to be a child.
