Michael Jackson -- Not Most Likely to Succeed

Michael Jackson might have been the "most creative" and "best dressed" ... but he wasn't the "most likely to succeed" -- at least according to his high school classmates.



An auction of MJ memorabilia took place yesterday in L.A., including his 1976 high school yearbook from Cal Prep in Encino, CA. In the yearbook, Michael was voted pretty much what everyone would have expected -- best dressed, most creative, shyest -- but NOT most likely to succeed.

That honor was reserved for one Scott Ashdown -- who's probably a perfectly nice person, but we've never heard of him.

Even though success is relative and money isn't everything -- can we get a recount for MJ?

I SEE TMZ IS REMAINING SILENT AS TO WHY THEY REFERRED TO USHER'S WIFE AS HIS BABY MAMA. could it be they have no legitimate rationale. can't name a single WHITE MARRIED couple they referred to in that fashion. TMZ has shown its true colors

It's nice to see it. High school doesn't mean nothing to the rest of one person's life, if you will be successful or not. Michael was a living proof of this.

Yes. Michael already was successful singer in that time. I don't know why his classmates said that. Maybe, thei were jealous of MJ. Who knows????

Nice phallus one the cover of the yearbook. I still can't tell what the hell it actually is. And YESSIR, get over it. BLACK PEOPLE coined the term themselves, and I hear them use it quite often -- I'm sure Usher refers to her that way himself. Stop being so sensitive -- not every person in the world is a hate-mongering racist.

A nice MJ post by TMZ with no name calling? I can hardly believe it! I'm guessing they didn't vote for him as most likely to succeed because he was already famous by then.

He went to prep school in -76? He was 18 - I thought he was home tutored from an early age, because he was so famous he wouldn't be left alone?
