There is a classic shot of Michael and the brothers during the Motown 25 rehearsals, and on MJ's right hand you can see a blotch of white on his knuckles which is quite obvious.

just to jump in a little bit with the vitiligo stuff...

skin conditions (along with all other diseases) can affect individuals very differently.

I have psoriasis. However, you wouldn't know it unless I told you since it almost only affects my scalp. Google some images of psoriasis though, and if you thought that everyone had to be affected by it the same way, you might think I'm a liar.

The same is true with vitiligo, how it affects one person isn't necessarily how it will affect someone else. I underwent a sort of uvb ray treatment for my skin condition some years ago, and it is also a treatment for vitiligo. So while I waited to have my treatment done, i saw many individuals with vitiligo in the waiting room, and for some people it covered their face completely, others it was patchy. One woman i didn't realize she had vitiligo until i saw that her hand and the back of her neck was patchy, and that her natural skin tone was actually dark, not light.

Did they apply Michaels makeup to his face with his glasses on? By his eyes, you can see he's darker



Also, I always thought that jacket was black. It's blue (which makes it ugly now)

Sorry,I guess I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

I love this interview,but I kept wanting to lick my lips as well. I think he kept doing it because he was nervous. Did you notice that look Michael gave the reporter when he says "this is a little sensitive" you could almost read his mind,I think he thought he was going to be asked about the surgeries,but the guy instead asked him about the bones of the elephant man.

I'm not denying his fashion sense, because like you said, Michael had fashion on LOCK in the 80's! However I think the jacket is ugly in that blue. It looked a lot better when I was under the impression that it was black ..

That's why I did'nt think it affected white people,I had only seen,and heard of it affecting black people. I know better now.

This performance is hot.

pictures from some of the last shows of the Victory Tour

check out how the makeup is packed on....

UGH! Look at all that makeup rubbing off on his pants! That last picture was ENOUGH!

but would'nt he have sweated the make-up off. I have seen other pictures,and he get pretty sweaty during those performances.

Great pictures by the way.

Not if its sweat-proof / water-proof .. Some of it did wipe off, but that's only the excess ..

ViintageJunkiie said:

Ah..I did'nt think of that.

EmeraldSkies said:

yes,I was thinking like you too. also did you see the contrast of his hands when he raises them? did anyone notice? either way I like this interview.

ViintageJunkiie said:

I believe that's the shadow from his sunglasses. The same thing is on Jermaine.

Good call! I didn't notice that! I do notice that Michaels cheeks are a lot lighter than his nose area.

blackguitaristz said:

thats what I thought too^^

tangerine7 said:

I wasn't looking at his hands. I'll go watch it again.

pt. 2 end? maybe seeing things. i like the interview anyways..

Michael did'nt look like he cared to much for getting in the water. I love Blame It On the Boogie.

tangerine7 said:

I did'nt notice a difference.

ViintageJunkiie said:

That's probably because he has makeup on his cheeks and not his nose.

yo was Michael at Marlon Brando funeral?. I heard that Brando wanted him to say a few words.

this is an amazing cover of stevie's song
