The thing about Michael Jackson is that he is weird in the public eye. So many of us have problems or are weird in some way, but the world doesn’t know about it. Michael Jackson is and will always be one of the world’s most recognizable faces first and foremost because of his talent. Let’s see you manage that, all of the criticism, all of the people wondering about your sexuality, the way you look, looking for mistakes and lying about you and etc. How would you react? You can never answer that question because you are not Michael Jackson. You don’t know what it feels like, so how can you judge and dog him out?

I know that MOST people wouldn’t be able to handle it, they’ll go as far as killing themselves or something like that. I applaud Michael Jackson for being strong. He could easily stay cooped up in his house and we’ll never see him again, but he has the balls to come out take our criticism and still walk with his head high cause he know he is the one and only mothafucker who has sold 100+ million albums. NO ONE CAN DO THAT, NO ONE EVER WILL. Period.

Here is my little opinion on Michael Jackson, I think he is a pure soul, I think he maybe asexual and probably has never had sex in his life. He maybe is a little “off” but ALL of us are that’s what makes us unique. This man believes in magic, childhood, peace, saving the world, energy and good music. How can you hate him? It’s sad we live in a society who say that men can’t be effeminate, men can’t love children, men can be loving or sensitive BUT we have the audacity to complain about the wars that hyper violent hyper masculine men create. We have the audacity to blame our men who leave they’re Women and children or beat they’re Women. If we started to accept men like Michael, pure souls who wouldn’t harm a fly, aren’t sexual deviants and see life for more than sex, violence and greed then we will most definitely live in a better world.

I’m thankful for Mike’s life because that is what he teaches me.

One last thing, do you think if Michael was “normal” would he be able to create the music he created??? Folks like the Beatles were high off of LSD when they created they’re music. Michael was loopy off of love and music. Respect him for that. His imagination bought you “don’t stop til you get enough”, “rock with you” “billie jean”, “beat it”, “thriller”, “the way you make me feel”, “smooth criminal”, “remember the time”, “black or white”, “earth song”, “scream” and so many others that were all original Michale Jackson ideas, ideas that will forever be embedded in collective memories. Impoverished kids in Africa can sing you a Michael Jackson song, a lot can be said about that.

For those who wanna say that Quincy Jones of Rod Temperton were the real geniuses behind Michael, you are wrong. He was the energy, he is the one who beat boxed the melodies, he would change something he didn’t like, he sang the songs with his amazing voice, he envisioned the videos, he co-choreographed the dances and performed the songs for us. He is the mothafucking genius. Don’t do me.

Michael Jackson is FAR from a has been. Why do you believe that if an artist doesn’t sell 20 million copies they should sit the hell down. Michael has more talent than all of these young bucks put together, he should sit down, we should be thankful for anything this man gives us. Remember that.

All I’m trying to say is, stop with negativity. Who are you to judge anyone, who the fuck are you? Are you perfect? More than anything we need to respect and celebrate all live, especially of those who have done so much for the good of all. And that’s real.

Again

Mike4Life

michael still know how to do his thing. he kinda looks a clown in that second row of pics though.

@BriscoeGirl

Mike does NOT have vitiligo! Scientists already proved that he doesn’t.

People can talk about MJ all they want, he is still the owner of the best selling album of all time and no one has touched as many lives as this megastar. Everyone talks about him now, but they didn’t talk about him then, because he was the man. Everyone has a favorite MJ song or J5 song so to talk about him now is in some cases is to talk about your childhood. Now I don’t condone what he is constantly getting accused of, but let’s not forget his talent. If we can give R Kelly a pass on what he has been accused of, why not Michael? now I also know that Michael has some deep seeded issues, but who doesn’t? All I’m saying is appreciate the contribution Michael has made to the world, without trying to bring another brotha down. Also realize that none of the current Rappers, R&B singers or POP singers will ever outsell Thriller, no matter how black they appear.

I thought Mariah carey on the cover was shocking enuff, this is so much more disturbing!!

I still love michael but hes screwed himself over with this im soo insecure to be black bulshi*. its so so sad

I might get his album to support him but I hope it will be great

mike4life:

Preach it!! I agree with you totally. I have to say that those pictures are good. The clothing they picked for him is off the hook.

MJ is a creep and a litle weird,probably a molester, but his music moved the world. No other pop star has his pull.

People can say whatever they want, but i still love me some micheal jackson…and even though these pics were probably altered within an inch of reality…i’m still gonna say he look good..lol.

this man needs to stop!

If I was Micheal Jackson’s Manager, I would get him a job at one of the Vegas Casino’s performing his Stage Act.

That’s where the money is…..

When I think of Micheal Jackson, I think of Elvis
Elvis had a lot of success in the Casino

You peope are bull $hittin he looks like Micheal Wakka @ the White Chocolate Factory,Fake ass negro!

He actually looks lookable…i wouln’t do him but somebody would

My po’ Michael. I miss him sooo much. I wish he would get together and come on back home. We will take him back.

Why do he look like Willy Wonka from the Chocolate Factory in that last pic? Where are the oompl loompa?

I LOVE MICHAEL.

He was and still is an AWESOME, TALENTED MAN despite his faults. GOTTA LOVE MIKE!! He doesn’t look like he is aging a bit, isn’t he close to 50? WAY TO GO EBONY FOR AIRBRUSHING!!

Michael will always be the best entertainer ever.
He has fans all over the universe.

OMG when I saw this I thought I was hallucinating. Michael actually looks really good, the best he’s looked in years.

YA have to admit he’s killing the lace front game ! Them hoes R@B game best to get their shit right.Is it me does Micheal jackson looking like willy wonka from the chocolate factory.

Oh, MJ……..LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still love this n*gga to death. I’m gonna cop this joint as soon as it comes out. Can’t wait for the new music.

Michael, Michael, Michael, you lost me at the top hat and silver pants!

Some of ya’ll had a lot to say about MJ. The only thing I’m thinking is how he looked like Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp version) especially in that last picture. Oh yeah and Mike’s got a mean lacefront game. LOL

What do people mean when they say Black folks always judging Mike? That is just funny to me since White people started calling him WACKO JACKO and they were the ones he wanted to look like so much. And even though Mike changed himself to not look like our race anymore every time he does something crazy or people pick on him Black people take up for him and have open arms when ever he needs help. So I do not know where people get that idea from.

Big ups to Mike4Life, n-em.

Applebottoms, and what scientists would that be?

I just really love how people act like MJ all of a sudden one day woke up, decided he wanted to become white, then went to sit in a tub filled with clorox or some ish and bam! His skin automatically turned porcelain white. I mean it is IMPOSSIBLE to change your skin tone that drastically anyway. There is no skin cream bleach on the face of this earth that can change your skin tone that drastically.

Bleaching cream will NOT make your skin any more white than sun tan cream will make a white person black. It just doesn’t exist! There is no cream that will give you make your skin look like Michael’s.

If you don’t actually have vitiligo and attempt to “bleach” or depigment your skin, it will just regenerate every time because your skin cells are still producing pigmentation, so this argument about MJ “bleaching” his skin just doesn’t hold up. The color of the skin CANNOT be lightened permanently because as I said before melanin generating cells will always be recovered by an organism so it’s impossible to kill melanin generating cells, therefore making it impossible that MJ does not in fact have vitiligo or some type of skin disorder.

Look, if you want to know more, just holla @ me. I’m not about to write a whole essay here, I’ve done that enough. lol

I still love you Michael!!!!

What ever Michael Jackson decides to do with his look is purely HIS BUSINESS! Instead of dwelling on what he looks like on the outside, why not focus on the fact that this man has a heart of gold and has blessed mega-millions with his musical talents. If it weren’t for MJ leading the industry as the King of Pop, there would be no Usher, Chris Brown and many others who admire his talent and contributions to the world. People need to stop trying to beat up on him and realize that just like you… Michael Jackson is human and he does have feelings that can be hurt. Where is the love people???? In other words (especially to those who are so naive and/or ignorant) – please take a look at yourselves. I am sure there is something about YOU that you’ve enhanced – whether it is the weave you wear, the fake nails, the makeup, etc. So, why are we throwing stones at one of the GREAT entertainers of all time because he chose to change his looks? We, as a nation, need to stop being so critical of others and just love them for who they are on the inside. Michael looks fabulous in these pictures and I am so ecstatic to see him back on the cover of Ebony and I look forward to any new projects he pursues.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO@ #1 CANDI U A MESS LOL

WELL HE DOES LOOKS GOOD, FOR MICHAEL, IM MAD IM LOVIN HIS SILVER PANTS, DO THOSE COME IN BOOTCUT??

HE LOOKS LIKE WILLY WONKA (JOHNNY DEPP)IN THAT LAST PIC

To with the negative comments…. I Love u Mike… im still going to buy his albums… yes i agree he looks like willy wonka…but I’ll let him moon walk all over my ass!…..

He’ll Be My THrILLER

Paradise Queen… Ditto. I would buy any album Michael Jackson put out. Who cares what (or whom) he looks like. The world cannot deny the fact that he is still a MUSICAL GENIUS!!!!!! As far as I am concern - his talents are a true gift from God and no matter what anyone says, the musical world is so much better because of him and his contribution.

#74 - Trust me when I say “Michael Jackson” is not being hurt by the fact that you are NOT a fan - nor have you never been. To be honest, he has enough REAL FANS to more than compensate for people like you. If that is the case, why are you wasting time being on this site? Why not spend time commenting on something or someone that is of interest too you?

Love Mike but I swear he look like a damn wizard in these pics

lol @ numba 7….he do look like a cute white lady……….

Until any of yall bastards can accomplish a fraction of the shyt that Michael Jackson has accomplished shut the fuk up. This homage is a celebration of him having THE BIGGEST SELLING ALBUM IN HISTORY…THAT MEANS EVER, IN OTHER WORDS ALL TIME. And all ya’ll can talk about is a some photoshop Bull SHYT. Ya’ll fools better recognize where all ya’ll current supertars (Usher, Chris Brown, Omarion, Ne-yo, Ciara, Beyonce, Justin) came from. They would be nothing if they didn’t have MICHAEL JACKSON to immulate/copy/mimic/”borrow from”.

he looks fuking fabulous!

he makes a pretty woman

He looks good. Ebony did him right. And who ever said he has a white woman’s hair sounds hella ignorant. What does Beyonce, Mary, Tyra, Janet, Ciara and all them other black folks have in they head when that rockin weaves and wigs! The only difference is MJ shit be lookin better than most of those broads!

Some of yall are hating too much without knowing anything. Hes the pioneer for so many factors of our music and especially dance community nowdays. Yall should be thankful. Yeah he looks fucked up, so what? He does great work and tries to look the best he can at his state, and hes done a good job on that for now.

#185 - Thanks for keeping it real and relling it straight. Hell, MJ hair looks better than those dumb A$$ people making these crazy comments. I really appreciate you for letting them know this too. You are tha bomb!

lol @ 36

He does look good for a white woman.

Michael is 49 years old yall, I think he looks good and I know he can still entertain Ursher and Timbolake under the table. I know what I said.

That weave is killing me softly boo! Im sorry but he got the hottest hair in the game surpassing all heffa’s… (Beyonce, Ciara, Tyra all of them!) Where does he get his lacefronts!??? Shiiiiedddd I want one!! LMAO

why does he look like Hunter Tylo (Taylor from the bold and the beautiful)

ATTENTION ATTENTION: TO THOSE WHO HAVE POSTED PICS OF THEMSELVES ON HERE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN MAKING REMARKS ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR PICTURE UP AND YOU COULD GET SO FUCKIN CLOWNED, TRUST. THERE ARE SOME UGLY MUTHAFUCKAS ON HERE MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT MIKE LOOK LIKE! I COULD SO FUCKIN GO OFF RIGHT NOW, BUT I’LL BE NICE AND JUST ISSUE THIS WARNING.

His son, Prince Michael does have a black man SCHNOZ!!

mike is a good guy, always has been. he always looks out for his fans and donates his money to charities. there is no need to be disrespectful on these post, he has accomplished things no artist in our life time could achieve and he’s black.

YALL CAN SAY WHAT YALL WANT BUT THIS IS A LEGEND RIGHT HERE. HE CAN LOOK A HOT MESS AND STILL WILL HAVE BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF FANS ALL OVER. HE DOESNT LOOK BAD ON THE COVER EITHER.

No words.

He looks like Johnny Dep in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

Yall need to leave Mike alone! lol…He still cool with me. Yeah, he looks like a white person now, but would you like him more if he looked like this http://www.patient.co.uk/images/dis127.jpg

Polka dots ain’t cute!

And by the way, Michael has given to more black charities than any other celebrity in history. Just because he don’t talk about it, don’t mean he’s not proud of his race…

Must respect.. he looks good….. Bless his heart

HE DID IT! EVEN DOWN TO THE THIN LIPS.

THE PICS ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A WHITE MAN WHO RESEMBLES MICHAEL JACKSON.

AFTER HONORING MICHAEL AT AN AWARDS SHOW A MONTH AGO OR SO,
IF ALL THE ARTIST WHO WHERE THERE TO SUPPORT MIKE (beyonce, rihannna, chris brown, etc.) JUST TO NAME A FEW, I SUPPORT HIM 1000%.
YALL LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE.!!!!

# 73 must not be a fan of music

hahahhahhaahhaha…mikey…gotta…luv…him! lol

I LOVE MICHEAL JACKSON ALWAYS WILL….since “Off The Wall” (circa-1979)

LMAO, why? this is so random.

wow…they airbrushed the HeLL outta these pics

He actually looks really good except for the hair…i was trying to figure out who’s whig it was, and i realized it’s Whitney’s for sure…how about a duet /w whitney

yeah,

michael jackson will kill all the so called singer!!

but how did he achieve that: become white?? I mean white people should be afraid because that just mean we can become white but can they become black??

I am actually liking these pics. He is starting to look handsome again, like from the Remember the Times video and era, minus the last pic. I’ma still support Michael.

Michael Jackson. Woooow….what a transformation from his original looks…plastic surgery is magic lol. Anyway mike has been through a lot so im gonna leave this one alone…i think it speaks for itself. Hope he doesnt stay in the limelight too long for his sake. Or next thing you know they will be charging him with snatchin babies off the street.

These pics of Michael Jackson takes my breath away. Michael looks GOOD on the Ebony cover. And many people KNOW that he looks good on these pics; but being the jerks they are, they don’t want to admit it because IT’S NOT COOL to post anything nice about Michael Jackson. Anything posted about Michael has to be malicious, spiteful and disrespectful. Giving this man credit is almost like pulling teeth. And this is all because of people, including many of us, have being mislead into believing lies about Michael over the years from the AMOUNT of plastic surgery he’s had, the REAL reason why his skin went from dark to white, and the biggest one of all: His relationship with kids.

We need to stop being blind sheep, stop believing everything we see and here in the media because they don’t tell us the truth. Media tell us exactly what they think (or know) what’s going to sensationlize the public’s senses–even if it involves causing public hatred or disdain for an individual–in this case Michael Jackson. This is all about $$’s to the media to keep the public ignorant. I DO NOT believe for one minute that Michael Jackson molested any kid. WHY? Because what I heard and saw in the media didn’t make sense; so I did my own independent research with a bunch of other folks who wanted to know the truth. From what I discovered, not only is Michael Jackson an innocent man who was falsely accused TWICE; but these molestation cases in 1993 and in 2003 were nothing but smokescreens to cover up a huge conspiracy that has been made against Michael by certain powerful individuals in the media, in the recording industry as well as in law enforcement with one purpose only: To bring Michael Jackson down and keep him down. The Chandler family and the Arviso family were nothing more than pawns. To many people, Michael Jackson is seen as TOO powerful–especially for a Black man. But as long as these crooked folks in high places can constantly bring up young boys, young boys, young boys, they can keep the MAJORITY of the public, including us black folks, ignorant about what they are trying to do to Michael.

If you people, who are posting insulting mess about Michael Jackson, really knew what’s really going on behind the scenes of these allegations, you would all hang your heads in shame. That’s only IF you got enough character in you.

And for the record, the size of one’s nose, nor the darkness of one’s skin doesn’t make a person Black–especially if he was born Black. It’s what’s inside that makes Michael Jackson Black–which is what he NEVER stopped embracing. If you want to talk about Blacks who have betrayed their people, direct that accusation towards drug dealers and violent gang members and fathers and mothers who create children AND don’t take care of them; leaving them to the horrors of the street. THAT’s truly what a betrayal of Black people is.

I cannot believe some people here can just forget who he was. I mean, him and James are (in my opinion), two black legends. James brown RIP but we still have some Mike. But I really think that man is ashamed of his looks. I mean, damn, Rihanna lokks as white as he does and you still consider her as a black rigth? So lets just say that Mike is light skin!!!
But the most important is the fact that if Mike come back, no beyonce, no usher or whatever could top him, just go home because you all listen to his music even when you don’t know with allt hese people stealing his music. He was one of the greatest dancer in the game, who can top that. And he has a sense of rymes and rythmes that make me feel like he also participated to the invention of hip hop. So you ignorant, go get an umbrella single and leave him alone

lol lol lol. Wow too funny for words.

The pictures look hot. He has so much energy in his photos. I’m glad to see him happy again. I will still buy his music. An artist’s personal problems have nothing to do with how good of entertainer he or she is. No matter what Michael’s been through, none of those things will change the fact that he is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. I wish him all the best.

lmao and smdh!

@Riley B. So why comment that bullshit. We love Michael. We’ve grown up with the M to the J. I always wanted to bone his sister - Janet, but now I would like to bone La Toya and her crazy ass. Its like that family on the block that had all the madness and drama and you enjoy their company. I will be buying the next issue of Ebony and will await Michaels grand return to his willing subjects.

See, he should not even mention kids to anyone under any circumstances. MJ is still the best ever but I wish his pictures reflected a different vibe. He looks like a Christmas nutcracker and I have a nutcracker phobia so I don’t care for the photos.

@Queisha, mmmm, kids are us - is your name a new take on Keisha?

thats’ so crazy…i didn’t even realize mike was still relevent……AT ALL

i luv mj 4eva!

Who’s the beautiful Asian woman on the cover? One of Wesley Snipes new women?!

His hair is beautiful..and he looks like Willy Wonka in the pix with the hat good for him =]
