Similarly, his songs with the Jackson 5 were always called "the Old Songs," with his solo works being "the New Songs."

As TheNineties rolled around, Jackson had another success with the album ''Music/{{Dangerous}}''. However, within a few years, media attention had turned on his health and appearance, his personal life, and allegations of sexual abuse against children made against him. Although Jackson was either acquitted of most of these accusations or otherwise not formally charged, he was OvershadowedByControversy (or perhaps just eccentricity) for the remainder of his life, even after releasing two more albums. In 2009, he looked set for a comeback after booking a 50-show farewell concert engagement in UsefulNotes/{{London}}, UsefulNotes/{{England}}.

Jackson was, perhaps, '''the''' definitive celebrity of TheEighties -- his level of popularity in that decade was like that of Music/TheBeatles in TheSixties.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** Michael's first solo album, ''Music/GotToBeThere'', was released when he was only 13 years old and best known for being the lead singer of Music/TheJacksonFive. It kicks off with a more-than-respectable cover of "Ain't No Sunshine," but from that point forward is very ballad-heavy. Even the more well-known stuff ("Rockin' Robin" and the title song) don't hint at any aspect of the post-disco dance pop that defined the style of his '80s albums. His next three albums are more of the same, and even ''Music/OffTheWall'' was far more disco/quiet storm than one might expect from his later work, without any rock crossovers or anthemic ballads about saving the world.
** For that matter, Michael's first chart-topping single, "Ben," sticks out like a sore thumb compared to what followed -- not just because of his age (he was 14 when he recorded it), but because it's a movie tie-in about a boy and his violently-protective pet rat. This is probably why the different versions of his ''Number Ones'' compilation album either omit the song or use a later live recording from when Michael was an adult.

* FailedFutureForecast: The song "Stranger In Moscow" has Jackson being stalked by a KGB agent with the song presumably ending with the KGB agent interrogating him about trying to subvert the pro worker regime. The song came out a few years after the USSR collapsed in 1991, making the KGB and the Soviet regime a thing of the past. Although it apparently takes place is pre Glasnost Russia.
