He was the best singer, so the group decided to make him the lead so their music would sound as good as possible.
Answer:
Michael Jackson was an adorable child who could dance, and had a child's high pitched voice.
Joe Jackson decided he could use those things to promote the group. Also, at the time the Jackson 5 came out, there were a lot of Brother/Sister groups like the Carpenters, Donnie and Marie, etc. Having a cute kid out front set them apart from the rest.
He joined the band at 5 years old and the band was originally Tito, Jackie and Randy, Joe (the father) thought Michael and Marlon were to young to join until Michael performed at a talent show, Joe then made him the lead.
He wasn't forced to be part of the Jackson 5. Michael lived and breathed music- everything he did involved music. It was Michael's choice and he was by no means forced into the music business.
he did not create the Jackson five it was his father's ambition and desire of a better life for his family that created the Jackson five
