Someone is watching june 20, 2026, now that’s music
Imagine a 10 year old sounding better than most artist today
The joy and innocence in his eyes just breaks my heart. He had no idea how brutal the music industry was.
Look how cute he was! What father would bully such a talented, beautiful boy?!
This performance is even more chilling when you learn that Michael’s father would wait off stage with a belt prepared to beat Michael if he made a small mistake. Michael often felt the safest on stage because his father couldn’t beat him in front of everyone. Truly heartbreaking he had to endure this. RIP!
