Would he have become as famous as he did if he didn't change his appearance?
These are questions we'll never be able to answer.
This image and Michael Jackson himself makes my point of the pressure of the media and people in general to conform to the stereotypes. At his time, the music industry was more white dominated and he thought that he had to be white to be famous and make it big. Was he right?
This is an artist's conception of what Michael Jackson would have looked like if he had aged naturally. Now he's not looking stunningly beautiful or anything but its a lot better than what he turned out to look like. He looks normal. But is normal enough to make it in the music industry?
