how did you become a fan

I remember my friend showed me Thriller in 2007. I thought it was really cool. But I wasn't really a huge fan until after his death :[ Everyone always gets mad about that..but it's not like I can build a time machine and go back in time to become a fan. My parents don't like him that much, so I wasn't raised on his music. But, I really became a fan after I saw a few interviews with him..and I fell inlove with his personality, and then I fell inlove with his music. :D

I was born one. My mother and my grandmother before her were avid fans of the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons respectively. I was nursed on their music and never knew life without Michael. He is akin to an extended family member and I will miss him until the day I can join him in Paradise.

Well for me I started watching his videos because my dad got me to and I just totally fell head over heels for the guy!

I born one. I cant remmber a time when I wasnt an Michael jackson fan. I grow up with his music.

Well,my mom doesn't really like him.I don't know why,but since she doesn't I never got to hear him sing until there was this thing on tv with all of his hits.I saw it.And I've liked him since.I still haven't seen This Is IT,though...

my mom was a fan of him and when i was little she all ways played him for me so thats how i became a fan and i've been a fan ever sinse so i loved him my hole life!!!!

The first time I heard Beat It, I immediately loved his songs. But unfortunately, I didn't really get into his music until shortly before he passed...

when i first started getting into music i loved his music first later i was doing a junior produuction of narnia anjd was coreographing a battle scene - some random relation suggested that i look at beat it because there was a fight scene in it as well and it might give me some ideas- might help me be less girly when i danced you see - so anyway got out dvd of all the music videos fell in love with himn his music his dance his singing his everything!!!!

I always thought he made incredible music but I was never a huge fan; not even after he died. But months ago, I got "Scream" stuck in my head. So I decided to buy it. Then I saw more links to different songs of his, then I saw links to some of his interviews and realized how funny, timid, and loving he was. Then I saw links to his home movies. I just couldn't stop! I was hooked. I was a kid when he was at his peak so though I loved his music, I never truly appreciated his genius. It's amazing how one can learn to appreciate incredible music when they age. I'm now a musician myself so I'm such a fan of what he did to revolutionize music and dance. And more importantly, I'm an incredible fan of him as a person. He had his issues [and who doesn't - especially with his tough upbringing], but what really got me hooked with MJ was his incredible soul. I'm now incredibly protective of the guy whenever I hear people ignorantly talk about him in a disparaging manner...

when i was 6 my grandma bought me his jackson 5 cd with the first song of go to be there

well i remember when i was about 5 years old my mom told me that her wedding song was I'll Be There by Michael Jackson,and i remember i was just nodding my head like uhh..ok because i did'nt know who Michael Jackson was and my mom knew that i did'nt know who he was so she went on the computer and showed me the Thriller music video,and when the video was over i told my mom wow he's a cutie,and she said if you think he's cute now wait until you see this,so she showed me the Bad music video,and when that video was over i was completely shocked because he was so talented and cute and just amazing,i just fell totally in love with Michael Jackson from then on.

I think it was in 1990 or 1991 when I sow the video Dirty Diana... that was the first video that I sow with Michael.. since then I became a fan forever!! he was perfection in everything he did..
I'm sorry that my family didn't liked him.. they never did :(

I love you forever Michael!!!!!

i was watching a sho when they showed his hit videos and i got so attached....i start downloading music and going on utube and u know the rest

I was really young... so it was like late 90s early 2000s... and I started out watching his videos, had to be one of these cuz I remember watching these the most: Remember the Time, Jam, Scream, Ghosts, Black or White, Thriller, Moonwalker, Rock With You, Smooth Criminal... then over the years I just grew to love him no matter what...
