Line 1:
{{workcreator}}
* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: ''HIStory'' didn't go over very well, as there was no way to buy it without also getting the [[Greatest Hits Album]] that comes with it, so Michael decided to create ''Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix'', which has some new material, as well as remixes of songs from HIStory, so that songs would both get more exposure to people who didn't buy the album, and still be something new to listen to for the people that did.
* [[Broken Base]]: Bad rep aside, there are fans that prefer his pre-''Thriller'' work and some like his work up until ''HIStory'', the first post-allegations album. Oh, and some who like it till the end, including ''Invincible''.
Line 9:
* [[Face of the Band]]: He pretty much was the only significant member of the Jackson 5.
* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: The public relations folks at Motown taught Michael and his brothers that it was okay to lie for the sake of their image.
{{quote| '''[[Ed Sullivan]]''': How old are you, Michael? <br />
'''Michael''': Nine. (He was eleven.) }}
* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: The first four albums of his solo career, ''Got To Be There'', ''Ben'', ''Music & Me'', and ''Forever, Michael'', were made under the Motown banner and Michael himself didn't have creative control. Thus, some fans often do not consider them a part of his official solo catalog. He would get complete creative control with the move to Epic Records, starting with his next solo album ''Off The Wall''.
Line 18:
** In ''This Is It'', the new video for ''"Thriller"'' ends with Michael and the other zombies ascending into heaven...
** In "They Don't Care About Us", these lyrics are sung by Michael:
{{quote| "Beat me, hate me / You can never break me / Will me, thrill me / You can never kill me"}}
** The best [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] came almost two decades before his demise, and had absolutely nothing to do with his death. Say hello [[media:Michael-Jackson-Disney-Adve_8467.jpg|this cover]] to ''Disney Adventures'''s June 1993 issue. Michael's smiling and hoisting Pinocchio on his shoulders, and there's the promise of things the reader (probably) didn't know about Michael Jackson. This was a mere two months before the disturbing sexual abuse allegations became public and shone a whole new light on the cover.
** Michael Jackson claiming "I'm not like other guys" in the music video of Thriller is very funny in the light of everything that happened to him next, to the point that it could be called [[Captain Obvious]].
