I realized what an idea of Michael Jackson I've had. Though I knew he had changed deliberately.
He used to be black then he was/is white. So... he just grew up like this. He grew... pale.

I used to believe [not too long ago actually xD]that My Chemical Romance boys were about 15-20.
I thought the lead singer, Gerard Way, was the youngest.
...and that he was gay.

[I'm a huge fan now!]

Up until I was about 9 I thought Elvis was at his highest popularity in the 70s. This thought faded away when i was told he died in 1971.

I didn't know Elton John was gay until I was 16...

I used to believe, for some odd reason, that Jimi Hendrix was white. I eventually saw a picture of him and realized, well, that's not true. I've proceeded to not telling any of my friends this.

I used to watch a lot of music videos on VH1, so I thought Marilyn Monroe (from Elton John's Candle in the Wind video) and Madonna were the same person. I remember reasoning that he must have had a big crush on her.

I used to believe (and sometimes I still do) that celebrites where totally different from normal people, I just couldn't then eating, sleeping or using the toilet or any normal thing that i would do! I kind of thought that they were robots. lol

Chloe, MCR Fan (14)

I thought Michael Jackson, Boy George and Hanson were all girls! Very embarrassed now just thinking about that.

I was a big fan of S Club 7 (UK pop music group) as a child and thought they would stay together until I was old enough to join them and become their 8th member! It never happened

I used to think Micheal Jackson was a woman, I didn't find out his true gender until I was about 6 or 7!

I thought the guy from the "pretty fly for a white guy" video and the Turkish-German rapper EKO Fresh were the same Person

When the music video for "Helena" was first aired on MTV, I was so creeped out by Gerard Way that I actually convinced myself that he was a vampire and everybody else in the band were his zombie assistants. I had nightmares about the girl that jumped out of the coffin running after me and screaming: "I vant to suck your blood!" Now, I am older and not as stupid and have become a big fan of My Chemical Romance. Isn't it funny how people change like that?

I was about five when I first saw Britney Spears on a music video and I thought she was Rosa Parks for some reason. No clue why.

Still a Britney Spears fan

My parents listened to a lot of The Doors when I was younger and looking at the front cover of the Doors' album, with Jim Morrison on the front, I was convinced he was a woman because he had long hair. In my mind long hair = woman. It didn't even occur to me that he was shirtless and had no breasts!

Also, listening to the lyrics of The Doors' songs, I was convinced that "Light My Fire" was about camping and whenever I listened to that song, and I'd imagine Jim Morrison and some girl trying to light a fire in the middle of the woods. Yes, I was five at the time!

I was around the age of 7 and my older my brother was a Green Day fan. Well both he and my dad watched alot of football. And I thought that Green Day was the Green Bay Packers. I couldn't figure out why a football team would make a CD. Now 13 years later, Green Day is one of my favorite bands. Ironic!
