At some days ago, I put here a thread asking "when was the last time Michael Jackson was normal?".I received some nasty comments to me for this, but I was trying only to understand something, and now I am thiking deeper and can say, yes, I think this thought is correct, and not a coincidence.To me, Michael Jackson behaviour change (normal, different, whatever want to call it) began at Billy Jean stage. (start to change skin colour, strange media stories of buying elephant man bones, wear mask in public etc).At same time, Michael Jackson was working very much with Paul Mcartney (SAY SAY SAY song, maybe some others).Paul Mcartney was probably one of the first dead/not dead conspiracy celebrities back in the 60's. many stories of how he was dead and replaced.Not a coincidence I think, and maybe this is where Michael Jackson first got idea, maybe even talked to Paul Mcartney about this.
I agree with mykidsmum. Michael Jackson wanted to stay in the headlines and raise curiosity in people. This is what product selling (whether it's music, movies, shoes, books etc) is all about - getting yourself noticed and getting your name out there! But it all backfired, because the press took it too far. It all spiraled out of control. Michael lived with Paul briefly, but after MJ purchased the Beatles songs, Paul got jealous and I don't think they've been too friendly with each other ever since.
skin colour and weird things started happening around Bad not thriller. Much of the "rumors" were generated by MJ's own camp in order to give him mystique...they weren't planning on it backfiring. As for Paul, they weren't too friendly after MJ bought the publishing rights to Paul's songs...

I believe Paul. I think a lot of that was tabloid rumour.
