Apart from those who have been MJ fans since they were born , the rest of us surely remember the day that it totally HIT us - the MJ mania
My question is: What was the thing that made you a Michael Jackson fan?
Was it a song, a short film, a CD, a picture in a magazine, seeing Michael dance....?
Whatever it was, share it with us!

As for my part, MJ mania trully hit me when I first saw the short film Black Or White on MTV. I was 12 and that song and especially short film made me a die hard fan forever. It totally changed my point of view on music and made me realize there is so much more to music than just a good melody. That there can be a strong meaning behind it (I didn´t speak English by then but I did understand from what I saw what the song was about), that it can show you new perspectives and most of all, that it can be visually interpreted in a stunning non-conventional way!
That was the start for me, the rest is HIStory ...

What about you?

haha my little story

I first became a Michael Jackson Fan ever since i can remember, i remember the first song i ever listened to was Thriller and all that did was make me dance

This is just what my family had told me

there's also footage of me when i was 3 dancing to thriller haha, must unravel it sometime and post it on here

Hehe, you know we want to see that footage, young man I envy you a bit - wish I could have been a fan practically since I was born
