Let's go into another universe, parallel world, Earth-1610 (pretend that ours is Earth-616). In this timeline, in 1958, gifted, really talented black girl was born She was called Michelle.... Michelle Jackson. From her very childhood she liked music, she liked to dance... It was obvious, that she has really bright future full opportunities.... She destinied to become the greatest influencer and entertainer in the History....
Sorry, for a little bit weird type of beginning of thread. I just wanted to make kind a prologue. The main question, that I would like to discuss in this thread is What If Michael Jackson was a Michelle Jackson? What would her life be like? Do you think, it would changed entirely? Do you think, that Michael, if he was a woman, could have much less problems with mass-media? Maybe he (I mean she), would finally have a chance to live full happy life till the old age? Or maybe, if she... sorry.... he was a woman, he didn't even get so many achievments?
In my opinion, if there was a Queen of Pop, Michelle Jackson with the same problems, that Michael had (vitiligo, abusive father, nose accidents), her life would be entirely different... And I'm not sure, that in totally good way.... Let me explain, I'm sure there would be no pedophilia courts, also there wouldn't be any cases with "he look like a white woman". I think, that tabloids wouldn't treat her so cruelly... But still, there would be problems with drug addiction, there totally would be problems with mass-media. I guess, they would blame her for white skin, nose surgery and addiction to propofol again... but not that hard. Even though, I'm not really sure, that she could survive This Is It period... If there was Murray again, she would definately have all chances to die, just like Michael. Because the main problem was her desperate need to sleep.... But what if in her universe, there was no This Is It tour... As we all know, TII tour is result of Michael's lack of money... If he didn't have 500 million dollars of debt, he would never agreed to this stupid performance. And he would survive.... I'm not a sexist, but I think, that Michelle Jackson would have earned much more money than Michael... Because firstly, her looks would be just brilliant (if Michael had so beautiful appearance, then his female version would be even more beautiful), there would be totally more fans (even if her music was less legendary, which is very doubtful), secondly there would be no money loss in courts.... Moreover, there will no health loss in courts, that's why, perhaps, she would finally agreed to give Invincible tour...So, by the time, AEG would come to her doors, she would have no debts (or at least no so much). And when, they would made a TII tour proposion, she would just send them to hell and go shoot films... Like she always dreamt about....So, maybe, actually she indeed future brighter than Michael's.... But, maybe I'm just too optimistic...
