The wonder of Michael Jackson: his height?

This man truly is an enigma, since we can't even determine his height. He seems to be growing and shrinking by the day. I have searched for some pictures online to see if we can get any closer. According to the AR he is 5'9" but I really think he's 5'11". But these pictures aren't helping much...
With the BeeGees. Barry is listed as 5'11", Maurice as 5'8". Mike is the same height as Barry if he would have his head up. So 5'11" in this picture.
With Paul McCartney, also listed being 5'11". Again Mike has his head down, but they seem to be pretty much the same height.
Sammy is listed as 5'3.5", Mike is clearly a lot bigger. It's not possible to determine how much, since he is again not 'keeping his head up'...but it seems to be more than 4.5 inches.
Reagan is listed at 6'1". That's only 2 inches taller than 5'11", yet Mike looks like 5'8" or 5'9" <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
Jon is said to be between 5'7" and 5'11" (lol) but most say 5'9" is pretty accurate. Mike again taller, grew a few inches again after the last picture.
Mike Tyson: 5'11"
Unclear, Sinatra is listed both as being 5'11" (in '64) and 5'7.5" I think the latter, after seeing a picture with Mia Farrow, who is 5'4", but I couldn't see if she wore heels. That would mean the man schrunk again big time.
Jennifer Batten is said to be 5'9" and since I met her I know that is accurate, since she was a little taller than me. I have never seen her with heels anywhere, just boots, but Mike wears boots too and they seem the same height, so 5'9". That or she was wearing heels, which I doubt. But when I look at other pictures, or concerts, he looks taller...
Pavarotti is almost 5'11", Mike (if he again would have stood straight up) is around the same height or a little taller. So 5'11" again.
With Magic Johnson, who is 6'9". Hard to say, but the avarage height of a human head is 9 inches. Let's say his is a full inch longer, which makes Mike around 5'11" again.
I could go on and on and people can say he wears boots with heels, but the difference is quite big sometimes. His driver's licence says 5'9", his mugshot 5'11", info they take from your driver's licence if they don't measure you. He himself claims to be 5'10". Truth in the middle? I'd really like to know, because if he really is 5'11", that part of the AR will be BS as well.

Check the web site. This is what I found about Michael he is 5'11

a slight heel around 5'11. I guess it boils down to which shoes he is wearing. <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
Great topic Souza!
I think he's fairly tall looking, though I've never seen him in real life so I wouldn't know for sure.

Soooo Alan Light is 5"10 and Michael looks shorter <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
His height just catches my eye a lot and I will find a pic I saw the other day around 2002 he looks so shorter unless the men around him were just really tall <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
I've also said this about his feet and hands, there is a cement block that has his hand and foot prints in at Hollywood studios in Florida and they are not that big as he looks in the past 10 years. Its just very odd <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
I would believe that if I would never see his feet. But on some videos and pictures you can see his feet and shoes and he's still tall. On some pics with the same shoes he's much less tall. Like I said, an enigma.

Maybe he always seemed more down because of the short pants he wore in the shows.
I think he even has at least 5'11.
Also, his drivers licenses have different heights.
Wonder which DL they used to identify him then.
Same height... look at the tops of their heads. Level.
Mike is just dipping his right shoulder down a bit. Left shoulders level.
I agree they are the same height, but what height was Frank?

It's been said Nelson Mandela is 6 ft(1.83m)
Michael looks about 2 or 3 inches shorter than him on this pic
I guess the one that says Joseph.
