The King of Pop

On August 29th, 1958 Michael Jackson a.k.a. the king of pop was born. Not on March 1st 1994. Justin Bieber's birthday.

Michael Jackson was the 7th of nine children to be born. He started his musical career at the age of 5. When he was very young, he joined and led a family group called the Jackson 5. In 1968 the Jackson 5 were discovered. It may seem like he just joined a family band and they got discovered and everything was all perfect, but it wasn't. As a kid, Michael's dad beat him. Also, he didn't have much of a life as a kid because Michael was busy practicing in his studio 24/7. After a few more years of number 1 hits, Michael's career grew. He became a solo artist and had recorded many, many more albums.

When Justin Bieber was younger, he lived an average life. One day he had a singing competition and come of his relatives couldn't make it. Since he still wanted them to see him sing, he posted a few videos of him singing on Youtube. Later, usher saw his videos and thought that Justin had a lot of potential. He eventually made Justin famous and he has recorded 2 albums.

After reading those 2 paragraphs, who do you think is the king of pop. Michael Jackson, the best pop singer ever to live who has recorded a total of 16 albums before the age that Justin Bieber is now and a grand total of 26 albums. He also one a record of 8 grammy's in one night! Or do you think it is a 16 year old boy who has 3 number one hits and 2 albums?
