I saw Michael Jackson when he was on BBC News alot in like 2002 and when I saw the red lips and long hair I was convinced he was a woman. I would get into arguments with my mum and dad.

'SHE!'
'HE!'
'SHE!'
'HE!'
'SHE!'
'HE!'
'SHE!'
'HE!'
'SHE!'
'HE!'
'SHE!'
'HE!'
'SHE!'
'HE!'
'SHE! IT'S A GIRL!'

I watched a Michael Jackson music video with my brother, and we were convinced he was a woman.

i used to believe that bob dylan and dylan from beverly hills were the same person,although i knew his real name was luke perry.i just thought he liked the name 'dylan' so much he used it as a nickname

For years I heard of singer Waylon Jennings without otherwise being aware of any such name as "Waylon". I thought they were calling him "Wailin' Jennings" and that that must be a nickname acquired because somebody charaterized his singing as wailing.

When I was younger I believed that some songs should have been by different bands.

Iron Man was by Iron Maiden and not Black Sabbath
Cars was by the Cars and not Gary Numan
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go was by the Go-Gos and not Wham

Far earlier I also believed that "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls was a metal song because it had distorted guitars and a solo.

I used to think that musicians were singing live in music videos and was always amazed that they sounded just like they did on the radio.

I believed for quite a long time that Marvin Gaye was blind. We had a 45 rpm record of "I heard it through the Grapevine" with him wearing dark sunglasses on the cover. Glasses were so similar to those Ray Charles wore... So i just assumed Marvin was blind too.

when i was around 6 or 7, i thought there was a difference between normal people dying and pop stars dying, i was sure they weren't really dead because they could still sing on the radio and such.. i probably figured their disembodied voice stayed alive forever.

when i was about 7 years old the only thing i listened to was rap but i was a huge fan of michael jackson...so i ended up having a huge arguement with my family becuz i thought he was a rapper

When I was about three years old my sister said that Mariah Carey lived next door and I believed her.

My dad told me that the Beatles asked him to join and he said 'No, Ta.' I believed this until quite an age, probalby because my sister had quite an obsession with them and my dad sported a 60s style George Harrison style beard!

Jess

I used to think that Madonna was like a really mean person no one liked because of the term Prema-Donna

I was a bit confused

I used to believe that Prince was the lead singer of Queen
