What are some of the biggest myths surrounding the life and career of the gloved one?
Damn.That he wasn't a human being with feelings. Sadly this was a myth believed by most of the media.
^^^^That he didn't write his music.
there are even some fans that believe that oneThat he was addicted to drugs for most of his adult life.

Whenever I see people say MJ didn't write his music it's almost always some dumb ass trying to justify the fact that their own fave can't/ couldn't write music to save their lives, or some dumb ass hater trying to diminish Michael as an artist in general.
To paraphrase Al Sharpton: "Your daddy wasn't strange. What your daddy had to deal with was strange."That he was asexual.
That he was a regressed man-child.
That he was 'just' an entertainer but not a real artist.
That he wanted to look feminine.
That he only had child friends and childlike interests.
That he was ashamed of his race.
That he was anti-semitic.
That he forced people to call him the King of Pop.
That he was addicted to drugs for most of his adult life.
That there were way more child abuse accusers but he paid them off.
That he invented the Moonwalk.
That his marriage to LMP was a publicity stunt.
That he invited children into his bed.
There are so many... -_-

HIStoric;4168412 said:I think it more-so stems from the fact that Michael is a pop star, and it's stereotyping of pop stars that they do not write their own material (or, if they do, they have many people helping). It annoys me when people say that Michael didn't write his own music either and I think a lot of it comes not only from the aforementioned stereotyping, but lack of knowledge on Michael's music anyway.
I always just link to the track listing for the Bad/Dangerous/HIStory albums on Wikipedia and let that do the talking. If anything, it just helps show the massive development Michael had as an artist, even at his highest commercial peak
Sadly, I believe that this is somewhat of an MJfan perpetuated myth.That he ALWAYS lip synced and NEVER sang live.
I also have only heard fans whine about this. never has anyone who's not a fan mentioned this to meSadly, I believe that this is somewhat of an MJfan perpetuated myth.
I've seen MJ fans harp on about lip syncing WAY more then anyone else outside the fanbase.
Another possible myth but cannot be determined really... Michael gave Paris her name because that is where she was conceived! It's also known that the Mrs. Hilton and Latoya always spoke about whoever gets a daughter first will name her Paris.. It's been said that is where Michael got the name for Paris..
Could be either story though!
Timeline though it does add up though
