mj was 5'11

hill said on 12/Mar/11
i say he was 5'10- 5'11. He was pretty tall, not 6' feet but defiantly not 5'8. For everyone who is saying his shoes made up for the what, the 4-5 inches that made him appear to be 5'11, that's absurd. If Michael was strutting around in high heels like that, I'm sure he would have had much more negative attention then what he got.

His shoes might have contributed to an 1 inch of his height but really no more then that.

looks 5,7 with Michael jordan rob should downgrade him to 5,8 or 5,7.
Cynthia said on 9/Mar/11
I think it's safe to say he was somewhere between 5'8" and 5'10" at his peak height.

No we can't see his shoes in the photos that Omi posted but we did see Michael's entire body including his shoes in his interview with Oprah from 1993 when he showed her how to moonwalk in his movie theatre.He didn't have lifts and he still was towering a lot over Oprah.And the interview was actually BROADCASTED LIVE not RECORDED (remember that during the interview the fire alarm went off and Oprah said somethinh like:" The fire alarm just went off.Remember that this is a live Interview from Neverland and anything can happen"),so he couldn't have had the interview edited.So don't you ****ing tell us that he was 169 cm cause you don't believe that yourself. We are not all stupid you know.

Maybe he wasn't a big 185 cm guy but to exaggerate things like this and say that he was 169 cm like some people say that's more than RIDICULOUS and UNTRUE.
You people need to stop on hating on Michael cause you can't change the fact that he's a MUSICAL GENIUS and A LEGEND.Get used with that!

It seems that some fanatics can't sleep at night if Michael Jackson's real height is under 175 cm.

Michael was clearly 175 cm no matter the lies haters like ASERA say!PERIOD!

P.S: **** the rest( the HATERS ) Michael IS THE BEST!
d wade said on 11/Feb/11
he is much shorter than mike tyson even when he is standing straight and tyson not
Click Here so he was around 5,7 not more.
alex said on 11/Feb/11
Asera:He's only ever really looked tall with people who are about 5'3 or shorter? Seems like you have some brain issues!

As far as I know Michael's ex-wife Debbie Rowe is over 5'3, over 174 cm and Michael even without heels was still taller than her.

Here is a photo of Michael and Debbie:

Click Here

So 5'3 or under is only in your mind-haters's minds.Just accept the facts! Michael was over 174 cm and that's a FACT! PERIOD!

Of course Michael is as great and loved no matter what his height was (HAHA HATERS) but when lying unfair people like you live on this planet Michael's FAIR FANS WILL ALWAYS DEFEND HIM! PERIOD! Night, Night!!!

It's SO funny to me that this site has Michael at 5'9 and Sylvester Stallone at 5'9 yet Michael was clearly much shorter than Stallone, just like he was with another REAL 5'9 guy Eddie Murphy! Click Here

Why can't they just admit already that in TRUTH he was just barely even 5'7 in his 20's, I just dont understand it.
An affirmant in Tokyo said on 11/Feb/11
No other 5'7 or 5'8 men look as great and taller as MJ did.
The Jackson brothers including Michael are generally shorter people, but on stage they look more gorgeous and greater than anybody.

Viper said on 10/Feb/11
I wonder how he looked taller in his later years though. Platform shoes?
Asera said on 9/Feb/11
Of course he was 5'7! He's only ever really looked tall with people who are about 5'3 or shorter...He was closer to 5'6 George Lucas in height than 5'9 Eddie Murphy. Looked the same as 5'7 Frank Sinatra in the 80's. Just accept the facts already. Besides, what's so terrible about him being shorter than 5'9 anyway? People come in ALL kinds of different shapes and sizes. He's Michael Jackson! He should be as great and loved no matter what height he actually REALLY was in life.
Roland said on 9/Feb/11
Asera - Yeah I agree. He was about 5'7 tops. When ever he wasn't performing in his trademark loafers he would always wear those shoes with the heels on them.

btw I think he was 105 in the 80s. I read his book and he said he had a desire for a dancers body. Not exactly anorexic. Apparently he was 136 or something when he died. Even though he looked noticeably skinner then rather than in the 80s.
Brad said on 9/Feb/11
Murphy wears lifts, Jax's posture is always bad in poses. Both are 5' 9". 5' 9" a few feet from me in a court. He's taller than you think with good posture and if you ever saw him close-up.
Asera said on 8/Feb/11
Just look at this
Click Here

Eddie Murphy actually really IS 5'9...and Michael is clearly shorter even though he has on shoes that give him a lot more height advantage over Eddie's much flatter shoes! Michael was only 5'7 or about 169-170 cm MAX and that's it. That's also exactly the way he looked with George Lucas too. NOT 5'9, not 5'8...but just about 5'7! Barely an inch taller than a well known 167 cm guy!
And if people STILL refuse to understand this very simple and obvious fact then there's nothing I can do. You just go ahead and believe in lies but I'd much rather stick to the TRUTH.

Asera said on 8/Feb/11
I don't know if the whole autopsy report is a fake...but the height measuring definitely IS! One thing is sure at least, we know that at least when Michael was still ALIVE he was never more than 5'7 without shoes on. For some odd reason they're still lying about his height, I can't imagine why though. It's not like it's very difficult for anyone to see for themselves that he wasn't really 5'9.
We can all see ourselves from evidence that he was NOT over 5'7 ever.
Funny thing is, they did already admit ( Click Here ) that in the 80's he was the same height and weight as Fred Astaire. So 5'7 and about 100 lbs in his 20's. Great height for a dancer! Anorexic if that weight is true unfortunately. It's really obvious he was never a big man in any kind of way. VERY small, slight and slender actually. At least by the "western" standards!
It's actually quite ridiculous to claim he was 5'9.
An affirmant in Tokyo said on 7/Feb/11
A Japanese famous singer (Hiromi Go) who was a huge MJ fan, visited Michael courteously at his suite in Tokyo in the late 80's. It was MJ's first solo world tour (Bad World Tour). The Japanese singer recalls, his first impression of Michael was, (MJ was) shorter than he had expected. The singer's height is 5 ft 9 in (175 cm). 175 cm man doesn't think 175 cm man shorter. Obviously his 'short' means MJ was under 175 cm tall.
Very suggestive reminiscences.
Msec said on 7/Feb/11
5'7 is 170 cm or even 171 not 167 get your facts straight. And Michael looked 5'9-5'10. He had long limbs, so I would go for 5'8. Mainly because he was shorter than Eddie Murphy who is 5'9 and Paul.
alex said on 6/Feb/11
Anonymous: 5'7 (167 cm?). Are you for real?Next you're going to say that he was 4'0.You haters hate Michael so much that the internet is full of your lies.

Now it appears that Michael was even shorter than his father, his ex-wife Debbie and Whitney Houston who are both over 173 cm!Standing next to all of them Michael was still taller even without heels so he sure wasn't 167 cm.

How could Michael have been 167 cm when every video of him and his ex wife Debbie that I see he is taller than her even without his heels and SHE IS NOT A SMALL WOMEN!

You people think that we all are stupid to believe your hating ****?

You keep your unfair crap for yourself.Maybe Michael wasn't 180 cm or so but he sure wasn't 167 cm(5'7) either.

Yeah he was between 175-176cm.
Anonymous said on 6/Feb/11
I really don't think there's anyone around who seriously believes the obvious lies about MJ being 5'9, no matter what they try to claim. He's just never even looked like he's any more than 5'7 so obviously he WAS that height or maybe even shorter. If he was really 5'9 he wouldn't have needed high heeled boots to LOOK like he's 5'9! So 5'7 it is!
Ignite said on 2/Feb/11
Maybe especially his very long arms and legs, his broad shoulder and his big hands...have made illusions to the people that he is a tall man.

Legendary superstars have features in common that the mediocre never have.
Asera said on 2/Feb/11
Also 5'7 is NOT short at all really! In China and Asia in general he was pretty much average height for a man and most women there are only about 5'1 or 5'2 like this girl

Look at videos of Michael in Japan, he doesn't really stand out from the crowd at all there

Msec said on 2/Feb/11
Well,never would I tought that Michael was less than 5'9, but some pictures show it, so he can't be the same height as someone as tall as 5'7 and 6'0 and in some pictures he is, so it's very confusing.I agree he was wearing heeled boots, and it's OK, but he had very long legs, could this be the reason for the ilussion? Or was he really 5'10? Could someone explain this, how could he have the proportions of a 5'10 guy and be 5'7?
Asera said on 1/Feb/11
Anyone who still stubbornly insists that Michael was really 5'9 is simply out of their mind or in denial about the truth! ONLY in his heels was he ever that tall!The picture of Michael and Lucas right next to each other proves without any doubt that he was never over 5'7. Lucas is around 167 cm, everyone knows that, and Michael is maybe a few cm or an inch at most taller. One inch from 5'6 is 5'7! He sure doesn't look 5'9 next to GL...and not 5'8 either! 5'7 flat is most accurate here. And not only that but other evidence shows this clearly as well. He could have been exactly 5'7 right after waking up. Maybe a little bit less most of the time as we all shrink a little during the day.

Even in the early 80's, Michael Jackson height was publicly said to be 175 cm.
And many people have doubted his real height, never thought he's over 175 cm.
Many sensible MJ fans accept the fact that his real height is at least 1 or 2 inches shorter.

@Alex - Don't waste your time with Asera. Every celebrity I look at that has any relation to Michael Jackson he's there. Not talking about the celebrity at hand but instead Michael Jackson. He's obviously not a fan. He's obsessed rather then interested in his height.

I think Michael Jackson was about 5'8 at best. Maybe a centimeter or two shorter. He was very smart with his footwear. He ofter looked about 5'11 with shoes that had heels on them.
Mr. Kaplan said on 30/Jan/11
5'11" and 99 lbs in the Thriller era... yea right. He would've been in the hospital with such a low BMI.
Mr. Kaplan said on 30/Jan/11

Michael had te weirdest height ever! Sometimes he didn't look very tall, but sometimes he did, the only way we could ever really know was if he got measured standing up straight. I heard on his autopsy report, he was 5'11.

Compare also Ola Ray who is in this same height range,from 5'1 to 5'2, with Michael.
Looks just about 5 inches smaller than him!They ALL do.There's even a part in the Making of Thriller where they both wear flat shoes and he looks exactly 5'7 or 170 cm to her 157 cm!
Ignite said on 27/Jan/11
alex:
If you watch the photo carefully, you can see they stood on the different foot positions; The photo fosters illusions to the people that they look the same height. Purposely McArtney was shrinking and laying his body forward, while Michael stretching his body to the fullest like a stick.

Also I watched the "Say Say Say" many times. Michael was in so great shape that they look the same height in some scenes. But in reality, it is clear McArtney surpasses Michael in height by at least 2 inches.

Of course, I don't think Michael was very small. But I think he was not tall.

I quite agree with you on your comments later.

So...it doesn't matter to me if he was not tall.
Viper said on 27/Jan/11
MJ certaintly looked taller in his later years though.
alex said on 27/Jan/11
Asera: Dancers are usually small people?I wouldn't bet on that.Take Nick Carter (BSB) for instance.He is not small.He is 185 cm and he still is fast and agile!Not like Michael of course but he is.

And how can you compare Michael's height with his mother's saying that he's small like his mother?

Did you ever see how Michael looks next to his mother?He is a lot taller than her with or without heels.He towers over her with at least 20cm.And he's taller than his father too.

You just like to talk for the sake of talking.No arguments to sustain your comments.
alex said on 26/Jan/11
Ignite: In the photo I wanted to show Michael and Paul McCartney they stand together naturally and they look the same height.No trick.But for some reason, maybe the link to the photo is broken we can't see the photo.

Did you also see Michael's and Paul's video that they did together, "Say, Say"? In the video they look the same height and they stand together naturally although we can't see in the video if they had heels or not.

And long time fans like you say should also know that while Michael was not very tall on the other hand he wasn't a dwarf either like you people are trying to make him look with your comments.

And people who met Michael in person say that he was tall.But that's not what matters most.


Here's what Paul McCartney himself said about Michael in a interview that you can see on youtube:

Quote:" Michael was MASIVELY TALENTED"!

This and what Michael did for this world and his talent are more important.He was a GENIUS, he is a LEGEND and his MEGATALENT can't even be compared or surpassed with/by none of today's artists.Michael's LEGENDARY MUSIC and the LEGACY he left with us will live forever.
Asera said on 26/Jan/11
So how tall was he really? After all the analyzing and comparing, from 5'6 to 5'7 seems the most likely and realistic...when he was younger obviously! Looking about the same as 5'6 Lucas in his 20's.

Michael also clearly has the physique and body proportions of someone between 5'5 and 5'7. Defnitely NOT of someone as tall as 5'9!

Click Here

He looks VERY close to Diana Ross,that's why I compare them together so much. They just look too close in height and body proportions for him to be taller. She's between 5'4 and 5'5.
And dancers usually ARE smaller people. If he was 5'9 or over I doubt he could be nearly as fast and agile!I think his height was just perfect for him too. I wouldn't want him to be any taller!Makes him even more appealing(and cute&sexy!)to me. I guess I just like guys close to my own height.

And you must also remember that Michael's mother Katherine is VERY tiny,she only looks about 4'11-5'0 most of the time.And height is very much hereditary and in the genes.It wouldn't be very likely that her kids would grow to be giants either! That's the main reason most of the Jackson kids are quite small also, all the girls and Randy, Marlon and Michael are at least. I think Jermaine and Jackie are a little bit taller than the others.
Ignite said on 26/Jan/11
This photo is a clever trick.
If they stand together naturally, it is obvious McCartney is taller than Michael by at least 2 inches.
Long time MJ fans know he was not tall man.
alex said on 25/Jan/11
Here is a photo of Michael and Paul McCartney.As we can see Michael doesn't have heels or at least that's how it looks like and they are the same height .Michael was obviously over 174 cm.

I'm pretty sure Mr.moonwalker and alex are either MAJORLY deluded "fans" or some kind of MJ height propaganda trolls. That's the only explanation for their comments. I'm sure most people appreciate actual research into the real TRUTH though!

Sheryl is 156 cm ( about the same height as Stevie Nicks who is 5'1 Click Here ) and Michael I bet is just about169 cm barefoot!He would be about 172 cm in his shoes and she about 162 cm in her heels. The height difference doesn't look over 4 inches.He sure doesn't look over 5 inches taller than her when they're both wearing shoes!

And always remember that celebrities and their publicity people are VERY rarely honest about height, for some odd reason it's a really bid deal in Hollywood. This is such a great example.Maybe this will teach people to be more wary of trusting magazines and other places that list heights. Even this site has most people at least 2 inches too tall!The readers knows the truth though a lot of times, you can't fool us. Back in the 80's MJ was probably still listed more accurately as 5'7 and people knew that as fact. He's too small to be any taller. Anyone can see that.Over the years he just seemed to mysteriously "grow" more taller in the public imagination though he never grew physically any taller, more like the opposite in fact!
Asera said on 23/Jan/11
Look...Sheryl Crow is ONLY 155-157 cm so Michael can't POSSIBLY be 5'9!!
Click Here

For Michael to be 5'9 he would have to be at least 5 inches taller than her when she's in her heels! And he DEFINITELY doesn't look that tall next to her in pictures OR video.Again just compare her and other women under 5'2 with Michael to MJ with Diana Ross. Diana is around 5'4 and looks considerably taller with Michael. She even often looks the same height or taller than him in her heels. Even their body proportions look similar.

He also looks the same size as George Lucas who everyone KNOWS is only 5'6 or 168 cm at most!
You're ONLY wasting your time trying to convince people...there is no way in HELL MJ was EVER over 5'7 without his shoes on. It's just not possible.

alex, he obviously wasn't 175 cm because he looks nowhere NEAR that tall with George Lucas, with Eddie Murphy, with Janet, with Marlon Brando, or with Ronald Reagan OR Bill Clinton. He doesn't look that tall with this Alan guy either who is supposed to be 179 cm!It's just utterly ridiculous to try to say he was that height. No way! I don't care how many times you try to convince us, he was taller than 5'7 only in your delusional mind.

Again, most people here know that Sheryl Crow is only 5'2 at most :
Click Here


And Diana Ross looks too close to his height or even taller in heels for him to be over 5'7. And she is only 163-164 cm tall!

Michael was the same height as 5'7 Frank Sinatra :

And again with 5'6 Lucas Click Here


You're not convincing me at all with this "fan" propaganda. We sensible MJ fans KNOW the truth. Michael was VERY clearly 169-170 cm MAX!Certainly no more. And it's really obvious too!

Mr.moonwalker, he sure doesn't look even 5'9 here Click Here

Don't fool yourselves anymore people...he was clearly no way even 5'7 without shoes! Closer to 5'6 in reality I would say! There's practically NO difference between him and George Lucas in that picture where they stand RIGHT next to each other. And I doubt Lucas is any more than 167 cm. And it's absolutely true Sheryl Crow is about 5'1.5" without her high heels. With heels on she's only just about 5'4" !

Lee J. Cobb was 5'10", and Brando was shorter than him. Marlon described his father as 180 cm (5'11") and he is obviously a few inches shorter than him on pictures.

But on the picture with MJ, I'd say he is wearing lifts anyway. They are about even.

From this we can only conclude that Janet is under 5'2! Seems more closer to 5'1 sometimes.It's funny how many women around Michael were around this same height : from 5'1-5'2.
I think he was pretty much evenly exactly 5'7 in his younger years.There really is no doubt about THAT!
The 164 cm Diana Ross looks considerably taller next to him than these other much smaller women do!

And yes only superficial people care about these things.I didn't start this fight and topic.What Michael did for this world and his talent are more important than anything else.He was a GENIUS,he is a LEGEND and his MEGATALENT can't be compared with none of today's artists who's music I don't think will still be played and copied in 30-40 years like Michael's music is.Michael's LEGENDARY music and the LEGACY he left with us will live forever.

Michael's 5'9", around 175cm for 2 reasons:
He's leaning, if he adopted Alan's posture his eyelevel would be around the bridge of Alan's nose.
His shoulder level's similar/even to 179cm 5'10.5" Alan even though Alan's posture is perfect and Michael is leaning slightly towards him.

LOL! I KNOW I'm right! After all this researching...He was 5'8-5'9 only IN HIS SHOES!And barefoot just about 5'7.But who really cares about THAT except superficial people. What matters most is that he was the most talented and beloved musical/entertainment GENIUS this panet has ever seen! And he did more good and healing for this hurting world than anyone else. With great fame comes great responsibility in my opinion. And Michael ALWAYS made healing the World his most important goal and mission.He could be 5'3 for all I care, I would still admire him and love more than anyone else.It's for the person behind the personality!
alex said on 20/Jan/11
Asera:I have Michael's autopsy report in my computer. So I have seen the document.And you said it yourself!That we can't really know how tall Michael was and that all we have is guesses.If that's so then how can you claim and say that Michael was 171-172 cm based on photos that you see and make it a fact? Talking about Injustice.Make up your mind. But if you want to talk about photos then go watch photos of Michael and Whithney Houston who is taller than Diana Ross.Whithney has over 175 cm and we can see that both Michael and Whithney have the same height.Or watch videos of Michael and his second wife Debbie Rowe who is over 173 cm and Michael still was taller than her! In this case how can you claim that Michael was under 171 cm?Delusional much? Or you're in fact a hater?Michael can't be 172 cm since Whithney is over 175 cm and they both look the same height . Or go on Youtube and watch the video of Michael and Nick Carter (BSB) who is a tall men - 184 cm and next to Nick Michael is not very short.
Allan said on 19/Jan/11
@Asera - I was just about to mention the comparison with Eddie Murphy.

I agree with you. I think he was about 5'8 at the most. Most likely closer to 5'7.

I'm a fan and all, but I noticed during the later years in his career around the 90s when he wasn't performing he would wear shoes that kind of had heels. I don't know the exact name and I can't give a picture, but I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. They weren't the casual loafers.

Those shoes must add nearly 2 inches. Seriously. Because at the 1984 Grammys he was barely taller then Quincy Jones who is listed at 5'6.5 here..

Here's something that surprised me. Michael and Sheryl Crow :

Click Here


According to this site she's definitely under 5'3...Many say she's more 5'2 than 5'3 Click Here

There's also some discussion about "Michael" there.I wonder could they mean any other Michael than MJ? Probably not! Since it seems like in his youth he was just about over 5'7 like we've already seen from many pictures.He was the same height as 5'7 Frank Sinatra in his 20's. During Thriller he was said to be the exact same height and weight as Fred Astaire, who was 5'7! He looked often the same height as 5'4 Diana Ross wearing heels.And he also looked nearly the same height as George Lucas during Captain EO. They say he lost some height which could be because he looked so much shorter than Bill Clinton in 2002! So the "mystery" is solved pretty much.
MJ's peak height was probably around 5'7.5 171 cm! Just like I said earlier,though I didn't consider if he lost any height over time.

But yeah, the Jacksons are definitely a short family! Especially the women are all under 5'3 : Click Here

And Michael is SUCH a clear 5'7 and half that it's absolutely ridiculous there are still people who dont see it! He just simply LOOKS shorter!Not even average.You just can't do much about your GENES, if the mother is as small as Katherine is(she looks barely 5 feet tall!) then it's not likely the kids will be very tall either.
And I really don't care what any brainwashed fans or publicity people say anymore, I KNOW this is the truth.It's obvious! This site has MJ 2 inches taller than he really was, and so does the autopsy.
Asera said on 19/Jan/11
Seriously I've had enough of braindead MJ "fans" telling me that

"Michael MUST have been 5'9 because it said so in the official autopsy report!!!"

oh god, this is getting too ridiculous!

The height difference between them obviously wasn't very big then!She always easily looked the same height as he did. And she's under 5'5. Just think about that.
Even if she was wearing heels ALL the time in those pictures he couldn't be taller than 5'8.

And here's the pictures of Michael with George Lucas :

Lucas is 5'6...and Michael looks only a few cm taller! How on earth do you explain that if he's really supposed to be as tall as 5'9. It's impossibe! I'm 5'6 and if I stand right next to someone who is REALLY 5'9 the height difference shows a lot more clearly! Michael looks about 3-4 cm taller than Lucas. Which means he is 171-172 cm tall.It's so clear to see.I CAN'T possibly be the only one who sees this!
Asera said on 19/Jan/11
I don't really CARE what the autopsy says! I trust my own eyes over something that I've never even SEEN or witnessed myself and have no way of knowing if that autopsy is truthful or not! Were YOU there when they measured him? I dont think so...Then how do you know the "autopsy" is completely truthful.There's a LOT of strange and suspicious things happening around Michael's death/murder!We have no way of knowing if that autopsy is even real or not. We haven't seen Michael being measured by ANYONE.All we have is guesses.As far as I know he's never mentioned how tall he is in public. All we have is pictures and video to make our own conclusions.It seems like YOU're the one who is being delusional here when you refuse to look at all the proof I've shows about MJ's height. Just look at his pictures with Bill Clinton, does that really look like he's 5'9 to you?Clinton is 184 cm and Michael is over 10 cm shorter! He can't possibly be 5'9.

And I'm not the only one who says he wasn't 5'9 either!
I've shown many times visual proof that Michael was NOT over 5'8 and you still refuse to even listen or look at it. I wont argue about this anymore, It's useless.I've just said my opinion and I've shown that he was clearly shorter than Eddie Murphy who is 175 cm or 176...how can he be shorter than Eddie if he's 5'9 himself? That doesn't make ANY sense you realize. When will people start trusting their own eyes.I'm just wondering.
Asera said on 18/Jan/11
Alex calm down!I just said she was probably wearing high heels in that picture and that's WHY she looks taller! Did you even look at it?Yes of course Michael was taller than her! I wasn't even saying he wasn't taller! Only that when she wore heels she LOOKED taller. Just like Michael when he wore heels.Nobody ever mentions the shoes which is pretty stupid when we're talking about height.

If Diana was 5'4 or 5'5 then MJ was surely OVER 5'7 clearly but not over 5'8. Have you seen that picture of Michael with George Lucas. They look so close in height that the difference was probably only a few cm. And Lucas is 5'6.
I'm only trying to find out the truth about MJ's height!It seem like such a mystery to most people.They just assume he was tall because he's so incredibly famous and powerful. Well we've seen that was not the case.

See Eddie Murphy for example IS 5'9 and he's clearly taller than Michael :

Click Here

Eddie was even wearing very flat shoes in that and Michael was wearing his boots which give a few cm extra height!And he still looks shorter!Look at the shoes thats all I'm saying.
alex said on 18/Jan/11
Asera: The official autopsy report clearly says that Michael was 5'9'' and that's something you cannot fight with unless you think in your delusional mind that you can fight over an official document and a doctor or coroner that measured Michael.So Michael was over 175 cm. Period! Also that picture of Michael and Diana Ross that you posted and said that she is taller than Michael...You've got to be kidding or you need glasses.Take a good look at the picture and see that Michael is as tall or even taller than Diana.As I said before the only time when Diana was taller than Michael was when Michael was a little kid.As he grew up Michael became taller than Diana and that's a PROVED FACT!

Asera said on 16/Jan/11
Look alex I think I'll trust my OWN eyes and senses on this instead of hearsay about height. People,especially in Hollywood, are rarely truly honest about their height. Photographic and video evidence SHOWS very clearly that Michael was betweeen 5'7 and 5'8 all his life and It's really not that hard to see the TRUTH, just open your eyes and stop being delusional. Again I have to wonder..WHY exactly is it SO terrible that he was under 5'8 and no taller? I just don't get it. Why do you so desperately want to believe in a lie that he was taller when he so ovbiously wasn't. It's not "unfair" to say the truth, it's just simply the truth and nothing more. I'm not trying to be "unfair" to Michael in any way here. It's just so easy to see too, I mean come on!

The height difference between them is like 20cm!! You STILL want to stubbornly insist that he was taller than 171 cm? Despite all this clear evidence and proof I've shown you that it's simply not true? I honestly cant believe that...Why do MJ fans want to delude themselves into believing something that was obviously NOT true ever. Michael was NEVER over 5'8, just accept it already and move on. It's just not possible in any way.He was under 5'8 in his 20's and also in his 40's too. And that's the FACT!

Michael was obviously under 175cm on barefoot.
I have been a huge MJ fan for almost 30 years.
In the early 1980s, I read his biography written by Mark Bego that said his height was about 175cm. In that book, you can see the picture of MJ in the Off the Wall era, wearing high heel boots.

Many long time MJ fans know he is not in fact tall. Also know that is not wrong thing.
alex said on 16/Jan/11
Asera:Your comments are really ridiculous.Michael did used flat and comfortable shoes.Remember that Michael was also a dancer and a PERFECTIONIST and on stage he used most of the time confortable shoes as he would have not allowed to ruin his show by using very high heels especially that heels can make someone like Michael who danced all the time feel tired. Besides just because he sometimes used heels dosen't mean that he wanted to look taller.Maybe he just love it. Your comments do not stand. Why is Nicole Kidman for instance who is already a tall women using heels?Because she just likes it!? Michael was over 175cm.171 cm dosen't stand no matter how many comments you post.

Also one thing I have to add...IF Michael really was over 5'8-5'9 like some people desperately try to claim, then WHY would he bother with high heeled boots so much? Doesn't make much sense to me. I think he was obviously wearing them in public so much to LOOK or seem to be average height or taller!No average height man would feel the need to do that I think...Of course I can't really say for sure because I'm not a man :P

But anyway...

Just think about it. If he really was 5'9 or taller why would he bother with heels at all? Why not just wear flat(and more comfortable) shoes all the time?

And honestly when I look at the picture of Michael and Lucas next to each other I just can't see much of a height difference.It's like a few cm only. And THAT is very significant. If he really was 5'9 we would be able to see a clearer difference between them right away!I'm about 5'6 and when I stand next to someone who is 5'9 the difference is very obvious.With MJ and Lucas it's NOT very obvious at all. Which makes me think Michael was probably closer to 5'7.
Asera said on 15/Jan/11
Again I quote from Click Here

The references part of this article says :




"Lauren Goode (June 30, 2009). "Deborah Landis, Designer of the Red Jacket Michael Jackson Wore in “Thriller”". Wall Street Journal (Speakeasy). Click Here Retrieved July 4, 2009. "At the time, she says, the 25-year-old Jackson weighed only 99 lbs, with a 26-inch waist (“exactly the same height and weight as Fred Astaire”), and one of the challenges she faced was making the performer appear more “virile.”"


Read that again..."Exactly the same height and weight as Fred Astaire"!! How tall was Fred? Well, most people say around 5'7!! Just figure it out yourself people. It's not THAT hard surely. If you got a guy who is as thin and long legged as MJ AND he's even wearing high heeled boots/shoes a lot in public appearances then he WILL inevitably look much taller in pictures and real life than what his actual REAL height is in bare feet.Which was under 5'8 clearly. Now we can always debate about where exactly he is in there between 5'7 and 5'8 but he's obviously not any taller OR shorter than that either. That's just not very likely when you look at hom next to people like George Lucas who's height is well know to be 5'6...Michael looks to me about 4 cm taller.
And I just don't think he was THAT short for a man. I mean look at MJ's old manager Frank Dileo! That guy isn't even 5'3 tall! Or Michael's good old rival Prince! It's not the biggest deal in the world, well at least in MY opinion it isn't.

You do realize that these shoes would need to be 5 inches high, right? 5'7" barefoot = 6'0" in shoes (say Tyson is 5'11" with trainers). I don't see how anyone could wear shoes 5" high without looking and walking like a clown.

These kind of shoes would easily make him look over 5'9 or so!The heels are probably 2-3 inches so that together with his REAL height of 5 ft 7.5 or 171-172 cm would be enough to create an ILLUSION of more height.But it's still ONLY an illusion people. He was never over 5'8 in any possible way.

Michael looks the same height as Lenny Kravitz who is probably only 5'7 or even shorter! :

Well they both seem to also really love high heeled shoes and boots :

Face it already...You only WANT him to be taller because of his enormous and otherworldly fame and power all over the world.
MJ is definitely larger than life than anyone else for sure in all his achievements but in real actual physical height he WAS shorter than average. And there is nothing wrong with that!

As you can see the clear obvious height difference shows Michael is only about 171-172 cm tall and can not possibly be ANY more than that!Reagan wasn't even at his peak height back then and MJ was standing as tall and straight as possible with GREAT posture. It's time to admit everyone who still claims Michael was some kind of a giant or taller than 5'7-5'8 that you are just simply WRONG.This site has MJ's REAL height all wrong and it's been proved many times already!He was NEVER 5'9, at most probably 172 cm at his tallest.
Just wake up and face reality already! I'm a HUGE fans of Michael's too and I can clearly see the obvious reality. Why can't the rest of you?

Also consider the fact this was when MJ was in his early 20's and Sinatra was older. So...they're the SAME height! both slightly over 5'7.

Mr. Kaplan and all the other trolls and Michael haters here.Brooke Shields is a tall woman but she is also using high heels because I saw some picture of her and Michael where she probably didn't have heels and Michael looked as tall as she did.Also when Lady Diana who was a tall woman visited Michael at one of his concerts the diference between Michael and Diana wasn't that big.And she had heels. So you Michael haters overhere those who use all the time in their comments

Guys, back in 1992 Michael came with the Dangerous Tour in my country.During Black or White performance he changed his clothes and he had BOOTS WITH NO HEELS and he still looked tall.Also there is a video on Youtube where Michael is standing next to Nick Carter (backstreet Boys).Nick Carter is tall- 185 cm and in that video although Michael is shorter than Nick, Michael still doesn't look very small.

Not a chance in hell. Do you realize what that might have done to his dancing skills? He'd be risking his entire career and passion for a couple of extra inches....Michael may have been a bit eccentric, but he wasn't batsh!t crazy.

Michael is 5' 10".This is accurate. he claimed in his autobiography, Moonwalk, that he was 5' 10". Some sources that i have seen said he was 5' 9" but I disagree. I am 5' 11" and am 13 years old (a girl) so I know that he was barely shorter. I know Tito and Blanket personally. Gotta love you Michael!

About his height: too many proofs show him average or under average. Too many for a 5'11''-6'00'' dude. And i talk about his earlier times, when he did not were lifts. 5'8.5''-5'10'' seem fair.

LOL! Brooke Shields actually IS 5'11!! Then how could Michael possibly be the same height as she is and still look almost 10 cm shorter?! Michael was even clearly shorter than Eddie Murphy and he's only 5'9!

You people are so silly. What's so wrong and awful about accepting the TRUTH about Michael's real height I wonder...It's not such a bad thing to be 5'7. He could have ended up much shorter than that because of his genes and eating disorders which all affect height.

Besides 5'7 is a pretty ideal height for a male dancer. Makes him very limber,fast and agile when compared to someone who would be 5'10 for example!Height can be a disadvantage for a dancer you know.And Michael was the greatest dancer of all time!
And that is also evident in this video too :

Click Here

As you can clearly see he is in reality MUCH smaller and more agile than someone who is even 5'9 could really be!And there was nothing wrong with his posture either!
Asera said on 6/Dec/10
Obviously there are people here who are really quite delusional...Seriously, Michael WAS only about 5'7 and nothing you CLAIM can possiby change that fact! We have actual photographic evidence that he's the same height as Frank Sinatra who was 5'7 and also nearly the same height as George Lucas who is 5'6! MJ WAS only 171 cm tall!! If you met him only ONCE and he was wearing boots with heels of like 5-6 cm(which he did many times!) then obviously you would think he was about 5'9! But that's NOT his real height in any way!He was clearly SHORTER than Eddie Murphy who is about 5'9! He looks almost the same height as Diana Ross when she was wearing heels, and she's 5'4. So you all figure it out.

People have also compared his body type and height being the same as Fred Astaire's who was 5'7. Both dancers and both VERY thin. Both about 5'7 tall.

Also before someone here mentioned that Ola Ray who was in Thriller film is 5'2, and there's a part in the making of Thriller documentary when she's walking/standing right next to Michael and they are both wearing flat shoes. She looks about 5 inches shorter than him, which makes him slightly over 5'7 tall! Come on now people,just look at ALL the evidence. There is no way in hell Michael was ever even 5'8!!

When he was 25 he actually weighed only 100 lbs and his height was 171 cm!
Asera said on 6/Dec/10
Very CLEARLY only about 171-172 cm tall!Anything over that is simply NOT possible :

Mr. Kaplan...of course you CAN make yourself shorter! It's called "slouching", Michael did a heck of a lot of that, including in the above picture.
Mr. Kaplan said on 29/Nov/10
Can we agree on one thing? You CAN make yourself taller, but you CAN'T make yourself shorter! So taking this in consideration, why does he look the same height as 5'7" Frank Sinatra, he is towered by 5'11" Brooke Shields, then looks around 5'9"-5'10" the next time? I'll give you a hint: The answer starts with an "L".

Michael IS in reality only between 5'7-5'8, about 171 cm tall! Just look at his mother!She is really VERY short, and so are Janet, Randy and LaToya too.

Michael also had anorexia too since he was a teenager at least, it made him seem even smaller and more fragile sometimes. He even said if he could live without eating at all he would. Now doesn't that tell you that maybe there's something wrong?
cyn said on 24/Nov/10
I would say he Michael jackson is no shorter than 5"8 and no taller than 5'10.
His Autopsy said he was 5'9. And in his book, Moonwalk, he said himself that he was 5'10. That was in the late 80's so he could have lost an inch since then.
Viper said on 23/Nov/10
MJ is closer the camera. He looks taller than he actually is because of it. Have MJ take a step back and hes even shorter with Alan Light.

MJ is 5'7
The Horse of FUNK said on 22/Nov/10
Just looking at this Alan Light picture again and I don't know how anyone who claims they can expertly gauge height (looking at Viper) can say MJ is not 5'9". Shoulders, people, SHOULDERS. Look at their shoulder levels. THEN, take into account MJ trying to minimize the height difference with Light's kid. MJ is CLEARLY leaning and bending in with the kid.

MJ looks like he was losing roughly an inch due to his posture. If MJ straightened out then that would be a 5'9" man, just like the coroner measured. 5'8.75" or 5'9.25"? I don't know, but close enough.

I do, however, agree this 5'11" nonsense is, well... nonsense lol.
Jan said on 22/Nov/10
MJ was not 5'11. He wore lifts often too.
Click Here
MJ does not look like he towers much over James Brown, who is only 5'5 at best. Even if he was wearing lifts, MJ should tower more over James Brown if he is 5'11.
In my opinion, MJ does not tower Janet by 7 inches. It looks like about 4 inches and I'm not Janet's hair. Have you ever thought that maybe MJ was wearing his lifts in the picture with Janet anyway? In the Bad era, he had those tall boats. Maybe you are thinking MJ is 5'11 in 1990 because of the lifts he often wore around then.

sheilla,
I don't think it's true.There can be much more like that.Never mind how tall he was,never mind what his appearence was.Michael was a kind hearted massively talented kind generous,innocent man.He was't wierd.Never!!!There was only one Michael Jackson.And if there were 2 there has to be another equally talented person as him.

I'm fine with either 5'8" or 5'9". I'm atleast open to 5'9" because of his slouch, but he looked more like 5'8" to me when he was actually standing next to someone with a known height. When he stood by himself, he could look taller, maybe due to his thin frame.

Just for the record, it is NOT possible to wear lifts 4 inches high. The picture up with 5'10.5" Alan Light shows CLEARLY that he's not over 5'8.5". But let me guess once again - Light is wearing lifts too?

Sammy Davis Jr. was probably on Lifts too. He's a tiny guy. Check out Goldie Hawn's pumps.

Yeah, I would have guessed he was about this tall. I was curious after seeing "Living With Michael Jackson" in which he towers over the little Indian journalist who made him look over six-feet. It must have been that the "little Indian journalist" was 5'7 at the most.

Dural : LOL! Are those pictures supposed to be some kind of proof that he was 5'10? He looks about 173cm or shorter in ALL those pictures! Never in a million years was he ever 5'10...except maybe with heels ;)
The picture with Eddie Murphy proves it. He has heeled boots on and Murphy is wearing very flat shoes and is STILL taller! I really think you should change his height to 5'8 on this site...

175 tops - as low as 172 with his back problems.

I can't access the pic at the moment (due to heavy internet traffic or something), but if you google Michael Jackson/Lionel Richie, you will see several pics of them looking pretty much exactly the same height. Lionel is allegedly 5-11. I'm not saying Michael was 5-11, but I really think he was about 5-10.

Jackson and Lionel Ritchie:

Ritchie is listed at 5'11", but is really about 5'10". I know since I met him in a Hollywood recording studio a friend of mine owns. As you can see, Jackson is two inches shorter.

The shot is tilted. Ritchie is about three inches shorter.

This is pretty much how Jackson looked back in the 1980s when I met him:

He should have stopped with all the plastic surgery.

Michael was on the short side, at 5-8. No way was he average height. Hes not 5-9. What was really funny was some woman on tv said she thought he looked taller than expected. I guess she thought he looked 5-6.
ALICE said on 7/Jul/09
I am still in tears. i cant really beleave we lost him, he was one of the greats. All day i have been watching his video's. It still feels like he is here but that will some day come to an end. We will miss him and see him in our kindom what and were ever that may be. Oh hope his legacy stays true. No one will be the same.
We will love and miss you forever,

I think he was about 173 cm...that's 5'8. Some fans still want to believe that he was 5'10 or taller, but that was clearly not the case. I'm a fan myself and I don't have any problems admitting that he wasn't very tall. He had a very strong voice and personality in a small body. I think it makes him even more amazing.

I believe Michael was a solid 5-10, especially when you see pics of him next to a 5-6.5 Quincy Jones and a 5-11 Lionel Richie. He often wore pretty flat loafers.

5'10" next to Quincy Jones?

i stood by his waxwork in madame tussauds in london and he is pretty small for a guy. i am 5'8" and i don't think he was taller than that.

Look at the picture of him with Brooke Shields, who was 6-foot. Michael is probably 5'8" or 5'9"

jackson always wore very flat footwear while he was performing and on other occasions, this made him look shorter around people, jackson was between 5'9 and 5'10
