Michael Jackson dances again

Three wax figures of Michael Jackson at various stages of his career made a splash last week at Madame Tussauds Beijing, as Chinese fans celebrated their idol.

The wax likenesses relive the three moments of the career of "the king of pop": the Jackson 5 years when the child star was a member of The Jackson 5 with his brothers; the "invincible era" when Jackson issued his fifth album History, which ranks among the world's best-selling albums; and This Is It Michael when he posed for his never-finished comeback series concert in 2009.

According to Madame Tussauds, there are all together 19 wax figures of Jackson in their museums around the world. The legendary singer first sat for a wax sculpture in 1984. In total, Jackson was sculpted six times before his death due to his popularity.
