There are many ways that you can describe Michael Jackson.

Record executives still see him as a beacon of light when it comes to generating income for their label with re-released editions of albums. Millions of people suffer near fatal enjoyment when they try and reach the high notes in Earth Song.

Oddly, Michael Jackson offered an untapped source of comedic material that left many bewildered, confused and worried. From Jesus Juice, bad surgery and drug addiction, it seemed possible that nothing else could emerge to make us laugh. However,there are now reports that Michael Jackson wanted to pay for an operation for his pet monkey Bubbles to get human vocal chords. Looks like Bubbles was set to be the vocalist on Scream and Janet Jackson was nothing but a poor stand-in.
