In regards to your question, I believe many people like Michael Jackson because of his many talents, even when he was just a child growing up in the spotlight. He is known for being a talented song writer since he wrote many of his songs, catchy hooks and melodies. Also too he had a talent for dancing and entertaining others. One famous example of this is when he basically created the "moonwalk" and showed it for the first time back on TV in 1983 and everybodys jaw dropped.
