Michael Jackson

Im one of those people who sometimes hate talking, up to the point where I'd do anything just to avoid talking or just simply refuse to utter a word. This has always seemed strange to me, but I figured out that maybe its because I'm a very spiritual person and usually reserved. I therefore sometimes need my space (peace and tranquality). It is difficult to obtain this, if you are constantly talking. You have to be quiet sometimes and allow your inner-self and the world around you to speak to your heart mind and body.

I hope this answers your question and please don't feel hurt when some-one wants to be quiet and alone. Usually its because they need to regain their inner equalibriam, therefore being able to be the best person they can be (towards other people).

Another thing you need to be aware of is that too much talking can be toxic (almost like noise polution) and some people are more sensitive to that, than others.

You take time to make yourself a whole person, in interests, hobbies and other friendships. In time, your interest will fade. However, in the meantime, you can act "as if" this person is an acquaintance and keep it at that. Walk away from direct comments, block emails and phone calls, change friends and avoid places where he may be as much as possible.

A 1992 Pepsi commercial, he sang I'll Be There.

You have to have talent, experience and a lot of luck. Or, if you are fortunate, all you have to do is know the right person/people.

But more important than talent, is dedication. You have to want it and be willing to work and sacrifice for it.

And finally, many people have some degree of talent, but to be *truly* successful you need to have the 'gift.' If you don't understand what I mean by 'gift' then you don't have it or know anyone who does. A person with talent may sing beautifully, but a singer with the 'gift' will sing the same song and just blow you away - yet you won't be able to put your finger on just exactly where the difference is.

They'll be just as dedicated, work just as hard, but they will be able to make it seem as effortless as breathing.

If luck is with you, you may just find yourself in the right place at the right time for that lucky break. Doesn't mean you deserve it any less...

But if you rely solely on knowing the right person -say, an uncle in the industry, odds are you *don't* deserve it.

1. Sing. Join the school choir. Sing in your church choir. Enter talent contests.

2. Even some of the best vocalists use voice coaches. So take voice lessons early on.

3. Find a talent agency or agent.

4. Be ready to take jobs that pay peanuts (or nothing at all) when you are starting out and think of them as practice, as skill building, as 'paying your dues.' Believe me you'll appreciate it all the more if you achieve fame because you worked hard and *earned* it. If it's simply handed to you, you'll never be able to appreciate its worth.

5. Don't get discouraged and DO NOT give up. It's a cliche, but 'quitters never win.' (there is a reason cliches become cliches - because there is truth to them)

6. Always remember that no matter how good you are or think you are, there will always be someone who is better.

7. Never play the prima Donna; you may earn a reputation you will never be able to live down. I know a musician who put out several albums, made hundreds of thousands of $$$, but he became so arrogant that no one will work with him anymore. His career was over just as it hit its peak. He was only 21, and his music career was over.

If it were simply a matter of doing this and that, then everyone would be doing it. And an awful lot of very talented performers are never recognized for their talent or gift - even some of the Greatest of their fields only just made it by the skin of their teeth, or because some particular person saved them from going into oblivion, all because that one person believed in them.

Before you get all starry eyed, you need to be honest with yourself. Enter some talent contests, hire a vocal coach, or find a talent agency. Trust them to be brutally honest with you, in a way your family and friends won't. Then decide if you are really good enough to continue pursuing your dream. The entertainment industry is brutal, with few successes by comparison.

I wish you luck.

Try an idol - American idol, Australian idol, or even X factor

I've tried for years to become a pop star. What I would do is make a demo and give it to an agency so they can hear it. If they like what they hear .... chances are ... you'll be on the radio or you'll get a record deal. NEVER GIVE UP!! IT WONT GET YOU ANY WHERE! THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU WANT IS TO FIGHT FOR IT! ... and don't smoke or drink, because it will mess everything up!!

What you need to do is have a lot of confidence and try and find a way - Australian Idol, Face book, or take a video of yourself and paste it on the Internet. See if someone will contact you. Good luck

Do a 'Justin Bieber' or a 'Gypsy and the Cat'.

Record a high quality recording, or produce your own work well, place it up on the Internet - Youtube or MySpace, etc., and eventually, if your talent and production quality is evident, you will be 'picked up' by the right people in the industry just awaiting the next great potential entity to come along.

Production today can be most important, as Gypsy and the Cat realized - being former DJ's. Record companies love to receive material that is already well under way to 'ready product' - much less time and work for them, less cost, some advertising already under way, and mostly, much easier to be able to recognize the potential.

1. Have a quality demo

We've all had someone that we know hand us a CDR labeled with a faded Sharpie. If they are really up on their stuff they will even have the CD in a jewel case or a white paper sleeve. When you get in your car you put the disk in the CD player, and the first thing that you notice is that the music is really quiet so you turn up your radio. Once the radio is turned up as loud as your car system can go you attempt to listen to the music. That's when you realize that the sound quality is terrible. The guitars are too loud the vocals are too low in the mix, it flat out sounds like garbage. You try to listen to it but its too annoying so you have no choice but to turn it off, and never to listen to it again.

That's exactly what label execs, and potential supporters go through. They've already decided that you aren't very talented because your CD sounds like you recorded it on a boombox with a Fisher Price microphone.

It's extremely important for aspiring artists to have a demo that has high sonic quality. Otherwise your true abilities may go unnoticed by your intended listener.

With the number of professional recording studios increasing and the amount quality equipment becoming available, there is no excuse to have a crappy sounding demo.

Make sure that you record your project with decent microphones and preamps, and make sure that you get a quality mix. If mixing and mastering is not your specialty, hand it off to a professional with some experience and you are guaranteed to separate yourself from the rest of the pack.

2. Be a professional

It's critical to your success that you appear professional to the public. Everything you do must be professional. Your fliers, posters, websites, albums, videos ect… Must be quality. Don't settle for anything less. I know that it may be more expensive to get your photos taken by a professional with professional cameras and equipment, but consider it as investing in your career. People want to support and invest their time and money into to an artist/band who invest their time and money to deliver quality products. Don't cut corners! Be a professional.

3. Perform, Perform, Perfom

If you do the the first two steps, there is nothing else you can do but perform. Do as many shows in as many different markets as you can. Be careful not to over saturate one market. Over-playing one market can lead to consumer fatigue. Your fan base may get burnt out by hearing and seeing the same performance over and over again. Try to play enough in a specific market that people remember you, but not so much where don't miss you when you're gone.

Doing these steps, along with being good, will help separate you from the rest in an already over populated industry.

So there you have it.

Quite a comprehensive aid, guide and offering from various experienced people - some even in the industry, others associated with it - that should cover most facets of entering the pop singing-performing industry.

No, Bruno Mars is not related to Michael Jackson.

Probably.

1984

Battle Of New Orleans

Michael Jackson never kept anyone in a dungeon.

This was obviously a joke. Child star Emmanuel Lewis (of the TV show Webster) is only 4 feet 3 inches tall, having been small all of his life. He was in his teens when he became friends with Michael Jackson and the Jackson family in the 1980's. Lewis was 38 when Michael Jackson died in 2009. Intimations that there was an inappropriate relationship between the two were first suggested by Howard Stern in a 2003 interview with Lewis and MC Hammer. Lewis angrily refuted the suggestion as baseless and offensive.

I can't say that I am 100% sure but I believe that is when a pop up is allowed to drop between two or more fielders. The name would come from the 1912 World Series when the New York Giants' Fred Merkle and Chief Meyers allowed the Tris Speaker's foul pop up to drop harmlessly to the ground in the 10th inning of game 7. Speaker then got a base hit that scored the tying run, which was followed by a sacrifice fly that won the game and the Series for the Red Sox.

He really didn't have a least favorite quote but the one he loved was " If you enter this world knowing your loved and leave knowing the same then everything in beteewn can be dealt with".

Well not knowing your age makes it a little difficult, but there are two distinct possibilities from what I am finding. In young teen males, white lumps/bumps that aren't irritated or hurting can be called 'coronal papillae' and aren't necessarily uncommon. Good hygiene is important, and you may or may not be able to treat them. There seems to be a cause in not cleaning the area good enough as you grow up. Some people seek a form of surgery to remove them, but that is likely a costly choice. Also, it says that they can "fade" over time but usually not go away. The other possibility that comes to mind is genital warts. Those can be inflamed and painful, and you'd definitely need medical intervention. I'm no doctor, so you should probably seek more professional advice! :)

From my personnal experience one should look for independance, trust, a similar wave length with yourself, and of course some kind of attraction whether it be mental or physical.
