Michael Jackson (US)
The Beatles (England)
Rihanna (Barbados)
Sean Paul (Jamaica)
M.I.A. (British artist of Sri Lanka Tamil descent)

Task: Add a one paragraph bio (and the source from where you read this information)about another global musician - someone (or a group) from another country that is popular in the US OR a US group/person popular all over the world.
This is NOT a CUT & PASTE task. You have to summarize the details you find in your research. What makes this person/group so popular around the world?
No repeating artists please.

Michael Jackson-
Michael Jackson was born August 29, 1958. At a young age Michael got into the game as singing. He lived in Gary Indian. Michael had ten brothers and sister, three sisters and five brothers.One of his brothers died when he was a baby. He has a mother name Katherine Scruse and a father name Joseph Jackson that went bye the name of Joe Jackson. Joe Jackson had always talked about Michael nose saying it was big which caused Michael to think he was ugly. I personly think Michael Jackson is totaly hot. Michael truly believed that he didnt have a childhood. I've been and seen the Jackson five house, it still looks the same till this day.
