( MAGAZINE SCANS FROM ONTD )

Michael Jackson is the cover model for the December 2007 issue of Ebony Magazine. The King of Pop spoke about the 25th anniversary of the best selling album of all time, Thriller. He also spoke about his kids, God, creativity, and of course music.

Persons present at the shoot reportedly said the mega-star was very “sweet” and asked various questions about the lives of crew members on set. “He did go on and on about kids though, saying how much he loved them,” according to a reporter. You can check out all the magazine scans via ONTD.

Now I got it, Willie Wonker, this mf wants to do a willy wonker. Michael go Sit the fuck down with that and give us a mature look. If this guy doesn’t stop this shit. It doesn’t appear that he really learnt his lesson. He isn’t going to grow up so I would just as much like to see him disappear. The whole child thing is too much now, enough.

Valennea NYC, I already answered your question.

And to whom asked that this [cover] was random; its the 25th anniversary of the Thriller album, which was released in 1982. So far, it has sold 104 million records alone.

lmao @ someone trying to make a smart ass comment on Michael being relevent. Sweetie, every artist you see now that exists? Everything they do (or try to do) Oh yes, Michael Jackson is not only relevant, he is forever relevant. He surpassed The Beatles and Elvis Presley, YT’s precious and beloved (whom the latter was nothing but a Jackie Wilson impersonator who stole black music, never wrote any of his songs, and left Otis Blackwell, a black man penniless among others) owns BOTH their catalogs, and you got them folks trying to steal that ATV catalog away from him ever since. You think if it was somebody else who owned them YT would give a f…?

Its funny how one is quick to accuse Michael Jackson of being a ’sell out’ when has done so much for the black community I don’t know where to begin. When he bought the ATV/Sony catalog, with all the black artists on it, he gave them their publishing back; and Little Richard was so grateful. The individuals who belittle black women, glorify violence, and all the things that are hurting the community don’t get named
’sell outs’ (but we have a man here who basically changed the entire industry singlehandedly who makes sappy songs about saving the world, and we condemn him, lol). You think they gave/give a damn about Africa? Michael Jackson has visited there with Nelson Mandela more than I can count, and guess what? He was crowned King in Africa in 1992. Yup, Michael Jackson was crowned the King of Africa, the so-called “sell out”.

Guess who made the first real music videos with actual story plots to them, as opposed to concert footage or standing in the background of cheesy green screen graphics? Michael Jackson. (okay, sans Rock With You and Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough lol). Guess who was the first black artist to be played on MTV, who was originally playing only white artists because they felt no one was interested in singing black folks? Michael Jackson with Billie Jean. Who still has people swagger jacking his steelo? Michael Jackson. Who fucking made Thriller? Michael Jackson. Who is the first artist who will reach 1 billion records sold? Michael Jackson. Currently has 750 million. Guess who is killing the game with the lacefronts? MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON!

The end.

PLEASE DONT TAKE OFFENSE ANYBODY. I DONT THINK THERE IS ANYBODY THAT
DONT LIKE MJ’S MUSIC. I
WAS N 3RD GRADE WEN REMEMBER THE TIME CAME OUT, & THATS WEN I MASTERED
THAT DANCE, THE SNAKE, LOL. A LONG TIME AGO, THIS OLD WOMAN TOLD ME
THAT HE WILL DIE OF A DRUG OVERDOSE. I DONT EVEN REMEMBER HOW WE GOT ON
THAT SUBJECT, I WAS A KID. I COULDNT BELIEVE
SHE SAID THAT. BUT WHAT STUCK WITH ME WAS THE FACT THAT HE WAS ALWAYS
DEPRIVED OF HIS CHILDHOOD. HE IS A LEGEND. HE IS GIFTED. HE IS THE BEST.
HE STARTED THIS WHOLE “IM BAD” PERSONA. BUT MICHAEL IS SICK YALL. THE
MAN IS ILL. WHAT HE NEEDS IS GOD AND A WHOLE MEGA CHURCH’ S PRAYERS. I
WOULD LOVE 2 SEE HIM DELIVERED. MICHAEL HAS A LOT OF PAIN YALL. HE’S
HAD IT SINCE A CHILD AND HAS CARRIED IT WITH HIM OVER 2 HIS ADULTHOOD.
ITS SO OBVIOUS, I KNOW YALL SEE IT. THATS A REAL BIG BURDEN 2 CARRY. HE
IS A PRISIONER OF HIS OWN FAME. THAT OLD WOMAN THAT TOLD ME THAT DIED.
AND SHE LOVED EVERYBODY WITH THE LOVE OF GOD. I DONT KNOW ABOUT YALL,
BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE PEACE OF MIND, THAN ANYTHANG ELSE IN THE WORLD. I
WANT MICHAEL 2 HAVE THAT. YES IM SENSITIVE RIGHT NOW. SO INSTEAD OF
CELEBRATING
THAT HE IS THE KING OF POP, LETS GET 2 THE REAL ISSUE. HIS SOUL. WHAT
PROFIT A MAN 2 GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE HIS OWN BEGOTTEN SOUL? I
AINT PREACHIN. PLEASE DONT CALL ME RELIGIOUS. I AM FAR FROM PERFECT, LOL.
MICHAEL NEEDS 2 BE HEALED AND THAT PAIN NEEDS 2 GO AWAY. DRUGS ONLY
NUMB THEM, THEY DONT STOP IT FROM HURTING. TO STOP IT, U MUST GET TO THE
ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. GOODNITE.

This photo does not look too bad. I do want the old michael back. In my opinion, he is one of the most important artists forever. He is such a Musical Genius. I like his album “The Ultimate Collection”, This box set captures his Motown years through his Sony years. It contains some of the greatest songs ever recorded in the history of pop music. It is superb. I found a deal for it:

Sharonda

Tuesday, November 6, 2007 /

Ummm so he is restricted from talking about kids because of the problems he dealt with the kids?Huh?This man has kids that he is trying to take care of.

@ 240 you right but many people are ill themselves on here I mean it’s cleary evident.LOL.

Floacist, you keeping it real and I respect that.And you did point out MJ had a skin problem called viltigo, many people don’t even know what that is.Until we say “Oh he got white woman hair,skin or whatever…” he does have a skin problem and most people do.Ignorance just speaks too loud in our community.I want to laugh at the ignorance, but yet it’s sad.We can’t even embrace good music without dipping in people’s personal lives.He may not be relevant but he kind of lives through it in CB,Ciara,Beyonce etc.Nobody has the right to judge (even though many do when they don’t think do) anybody because MJ’s business been out since he was just as young, their whole family for that matter.But let God handle him, he is human, no more no less.And yes I stan this man’s music, not him personally, he is a musical genius.I be those who bumping Kanye’s Good Life wouldn’t know MJ’s PYT is sampled-relevant or no.Don’t usually write long paragraphs though .END>

Tuesday, November 6, 2007 /

@139 what are you even talking about? I didn’t say his mental illness was his fault and I don’t know if he fondled those kids or not …but it’s not a good look. You took my comment and ran with it. I wasn’t one of those kids who ostracized your cousin back in elementary school so don’t take that shit out on me. LMAO. I just said that he is mentally ill and people, including family don’t want to address mental illness sometimes. Period. There’s a big difference between trying to recapture childhood and metamorphising into another race/gender/whatever. That is the aspect of his mental illness that I was talking about, not about him cartwheeling down a hill or riding a ferris wheel to compensate for a lost childhood. But whatever, I’m done with MJ. I’ll be over on the Salt n Pepper blog. LOL

michael is a classic. he has been down a wrong road in his life. fine. but michael jackson will never die. he really is the greatest artiste ever- living or dead!
what ever the mistakes he has made, you have to give him credit that he still is a house hold name - for better or for worse.

Tuesday, November 6, 2007 /

OOOOO-WEEEEEE - Now there is an oxymoron or an example of juxtaposition for sure…It’s not that I’m hatin that MJ is now whiter than white and appearin gon EBONY and has capitalised on the Black community to gain success but was then so eager to get rid of any physical qualities which linked him to his race…

as for us appreciating his music..fair enough. but thriller was released before some of us were born. show me his RECENT hits.like in the last 10 years (and no, not the track where Chris Rock was in the video). I wanna know if he’s keeping up with the new catz, ya feel me?

“#93 Yeah that was decades ago, Can he do it now? Why come back out knowing he cannot top that, ”

How can you top the best selling album of all time? You can’t. Plus,if most artists quit because they couldn’t top the success of their first album then there really wouldn’t be anything to listen to. Michael had many top selling albums with Thriller selling the most. “Off the Wall” will always be my personal favorite though.

sistahsouljah3,

There was life before you were born. A great song/album is just that. It doesn’t matter if it was 50 yrs ago. You sounded like my 16-yr old son for a minute there. Young people can be son self-centred.

@floacist

Thank you…how in the world you just gon let a scientists tell you what this man got. I can see if you said a doctor but even if she did that still don’t prove mothin. And the point is this same woman i saw on the news in my town had the SAME disease. It’s very RARE and most “scientists” might not even heard or seen about it. Check out this link and school yourself and don’t go around listening to every jerk with a “degree” http://www.nlm.nih.gov/me...s/ency/article/000831.htm
the disease is real and it has happened to people. Ask yourself why would anybody want to totally change the skin color and be mocked by people so much. And whoever came up with that whole bleached skin stuff is stupid, that’s not even real u can’t BLEACH your skin. Tell me what would one have to do to bleach their skin. I’ve spilled clorox on my hand before and i haven’t turned colors yet. The fact is people are so consistently alow they say dumb things just to agree with others smh

MJ looks beautiful… For all of those who say “They’ve done a great job” - Michael will ALWAYS outshine every single soul on this planet, as far as inner beauty is concerned. This world is just not worthy of him.

“… When I go, this problem-world won’t bother me no-more…” (MJ, Xscape)

I am surprised that Michael looks wonderfully well and still has a star quality about him. He’s can most likely make a come back. People love to forgive and see someone rise again. I’d like him dance and to release a hit single or two. Wouldn’t that be nice? The years don’t seem to touch him just like Prince. If Cher could comeback so can he. Go Michael, Go!

I like this picture of Michael he looks better than he has in a long time.

I like the softer hair, softer eyes, and his face seems to be fuller which makes
him look much more attractive and RELAXED!! I liked the black Michael too
but it is what it is!!

I would love to see a come back myself.

People who rag Mike are people who dont like Quality music!
These Mike haters are also perfect folks who have never done anything wrong
in their important lives.In fact i bet the people who rag Mike are the same people who
have given has much to humanity and causes around the world as mike has.Dosnt the lord for give us for our sins.All humans are sinners.The lord for gave us.Why cant people
for give Mike and love him.Leave his physical appearance comments in the gutter.
Should we all stop liking Seal because of his face? We like Seals music so we listen.
Some folks forget to forgive.Its time they remember and welcome Michael Jackson
back to his throne as king of pop music.

Wow, this quote says it so well.

“I’m ashamed at people who totally dog out Michael and any other person who has the balls to be themselves unapologetically. How bout you learn something from him and become your own person, express who you really are without worrying what others think about you. That’s something Michael has that most of you couldn’t dream of.”

I feel exactly the saem way. It’s so easy to hate, to be dismissive. It’s much harder to love your neighbor unapologetically. Why not strive to be a better human being? Why not see someone for their soul rather than their physicl appearance? It’s beyond unfair to dismiss MJ’s talent, generosity and all the good he’s done for the world becaus eyou don’t like the way he looks. How petty can you get? Looks tell you nothing about a persons core being. MJ has done nothing but give of his heart to all the worl all his life. Too many people repay that with attacks on his physical appearance. People should be ashamed.

Here is a guy who developed Vitiligo, which could have ruined his career if he had let it. While most people who have the disease become recluses and allow themselves to be devasted by it, he made it part of his style and boldly faced the world. When Vitiligo spreads to your face and scalp, it can turn your hair, eyebrows and eyelashes white. So give him a break on the the whole wig thing. It makes you almost 100% vulnerable to skin cancer, so much so that the cumlitive effects of thousands of camera flashes can be as damaging as exposure to the sun. Many sufferers are forced to constantly wear hats, gloves, heavy opaque makeup and carry umbrellas to keep from getting cancer. What a drag to always have to be burdened with those things every time you leave the house. And what a clever way to deal with it…make it part of your show business “persona”. I admire him for refusing to let a miserable handicap stop him from living life to the fullest. Life gave him lemons and he made lemonade. Give the guy a break.
