I think the submitter want to claim MJ due to his appearance. He look quite like Liberian girl due his strange cosmetic. Actual fact behind change of color of Michael Jackson, his skin condition vitiligo. to hide these white spots he go through a cosmetic surgery which changed his skin coloration as he told in his interview about vitiligo

It is not so hit album but in those day MJ was being critisized due to his change fo skin color. Which was outcome of cosmetice surgery he done to combate his skin condition vitiligo. In this background this was an strange situation for him and for the fans of him.

My Sharona is one of the earlier and most faviourite song of MJ. Which brought him to the peaks of fame. In this song vitiligo patches of Jackson are clearly observed. But today he quitly change his appearance. but its style is not changed.
