Michael Jackson has been on the road of performing since he was five years old. For anyone who wants to know, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one to travel.
Michael remembers those early years when he was young. “My father was a machine operator,” he explained, “and he worked at a steel plant. My mother worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians.”
Mr. Jackson realized that his sons had a lot of talent(才能), and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.
Practice makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practised! Gradually the group took shape. When the Jacksons took their first professional jobs, their total pay was only five dollars! They kept on working. They played at parties. They entered any bigger contests.
They worked at clubs. Then word of this group began to get around. All of a sudden, the Jackson Five became popular in the country: their first album(歌曲集) sold a million copies! Michael, 11 years old then, was the star. It just didn’t seem possible that so much talent could come from such a young performer.
Then Michael got a chance to do some solo(独唱) songs. For the following years Michael has always been on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million!
When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯): acting. “I plan to star in movies,” he told his friends, “but of course, my first love is music.”
Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. “Songs came about in the strangest ways,” he said. “I’ll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head. And then I put it down on the paper.” Whatever he is doing, it works!
Still, with all his success, Michael manages to keep his head calm. “I just do a different job from other people,” he said, “but it doesn’t make me think I’m better than other people.”
To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!

Almost a year after Michael Jackson’s death, the spirit of King of Pop appears to live on a 4-year-old Chinese boy, who is fast becoming internationally popular.
Wang Yiming, who is known as Xiao Bao, has already been making waves across the world with his dance moves.
A favorite of Chinese media, Xiao Bao draws curious crowds whenever he breaks into a dance routine, which his mother says happens almost every time he hears music. “When he was young, we just started playing music to him and he started moving round like this,” his mother said. “When he was just a couple of months old, we would let him listen to music and he would immediately stop crying and calm down.” she told Reuters Television.
Xiao Bao was born prematurely (早产), and doctors suggested moving his body to music would do good to him, but his parents were surprised by how quickly and interestedly he took to the rhythm.
Dancing since he was two years old, he has now mastered the moonwalk and other Jackson moves, such as Beat It, Billie Jean and Dangerous.
Before long, his passion turned into an obsession (着迷)— the family spends up to 20, 000 yuan a month on dance training with a professional and outfits including tailor-made suits, hats and shirts.
Xiao Bao is serious about his dancing career and says he will not mind becoming famous one day. But his parents say that no matter how talented their son is, his schooling will be their first choice.

Hold My Hand – Michael Jackson & Akon
① This life don’t last forever (hold my hand)
So tell me what we’re waiting for (hold my hand)
Better off being together (hold my hand)
Than being miserable alone (hold my hand)
﹡Cuz I’d been there before and you been there before but together we can be alright
Cuz when it gets dark and when it gets cold we hold each other till we see the sunlight
So if you just hold my hand, baby I promise that I’ll do all I can
Things’ll get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come between us if you just hold my hand﹡
② The nights are getting darker (hold my hand)
And there’s no peace inside (hold my hand)
So why make our lives harder (hold my hand)
By fighting love tonight
③ I can tell that you’re tired of being lonely
Take my hand don’t let go baby hold me
Talk to me and let me be your one and only
Cuz I can make it alright till the morning
So if you just hold my hand, baby I promise that I’ll do all I can
Things’ll get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come between us if you just hold my hand……
Hold My Hand是美国流行歌手迈克尔·杰克逊与阿肯演唱的歌曲，这首歌在迈克尔·杰克逊生前一直没被发表，因此成为了他的绝唱，也是他最后一首被公开的歌曲。歌曲的录制于2008年完成。2010年，在歌曲被发布前的几天，阿肯完成了Michael版本的录制。
该首歌在全球逾十个国家的音乐排行榜上排到了前十，且在西班牙、中国大陆和澳门的媒体排行榜取得冠军席位，并于2010年10月24日，在美国公告牌百强单曲榜取得第48名的成绩。
这首用钢琴伴奏的歌曲首先由杰克逊柔和的声线引领，然后阿肯的嗓音就占据了整个韵律的主题。动人的副歌和雄伟的渐强，让人感受到一个很大的命中所有的气质。这首歌以D大调为主，在捕捉快乐的同时，向往悲伤。迈克尔的声音是朴素的，同时又是给人以深刻印象。
