michaeljackson.com

I pre-ordered mine along with the t-shirt from there earlier today.

The cool thing is, by doing it that way, along with the shirt,

we get to have the album 24 hours before it ships..can you say early bird

gets the worm? biggrin

I was gonna order Vision from michaeljackson.com but I have a Best Buy giftcard

that is for $30, so hopefully Vision will only cost me $12 at Best Buy on 11/22. cool

Awww I'm sorry you don't like Matty. As for me, I think one of those Invincible era b&w photos would have been much better, but honestly, this cover has a "Michael Jackson feel" to it. I give credit to the Estate for trying to get it right.

So excited for next Monday. Woohoo!!!! biggrin

Is this official? If it is, I don't like it. Too much going on. It would be better for an album entitled, "Best of Michael Jackson in the 80s" I know it's not the full, but the portion they got here has a lot going on already. Anyway, I'm more concerned about the music. Can't wait to download illegally!!!

I'd pick the first one for the cover of the album and the last two for the inside photos though something tells me they WILL be on the inside of the album. Time will tell though. lol

Oh and for those that "don't like it", it's a gatefold cover, it's not the full cover. lol

That would have been my choice. But I figure Sony and the Estate want to play safe.

I'm over my initial dislike of the cover and figure if it helps people find their way to this album then all good.

Sadly though these posthumous albums are really for the fans, and thus it should have been treated as such and given us something new visually.

That painting for the cover is actually quite excellent. I don't know what other people are looking at. The artist captured Michael's facial structure very well.

Yeah I actually like it. Oh well. shrug

thumbs up!

I like it but don't LOVE it. It coulda been worse. That being said, it does look more

like it belongs on a Greatest Hits compilation.

Some of these photos IN COLOR would have been better IMO.

But either way...I'm thrilled about the album. I was taking a nap and

woke up and saw that and was like, "This must be a dream." I couldn't

pre-order it and the t-shirt fast enough!!!

This would have been my 1st choice also, I kinda figured it would have been! I don't like the cover either, but oh well, I'm just happy to have the new album!!! Can't wait!!!excited

BTW, I find it weird that Janet has this same haircut in her new movie! lol And when I showed this pic to folks at work, the 1st comment I heard was "Is that Prince?" eek lol WEIRD!!!!

I don't like the idea of Prince's symbol being on MJ's album cover! IDK, it is just too weird for me. Something tells me this isn't just a coincidence....there is definately more to this than meets the eye. I'm going to be doing some major investigating to find out what this all really means! This adds to the conspiracy theories...the MJ boards are going to be blowing up over this one!! lol

Wonder what Prince thinks of this?? confused

I love the first pic as an album cover! But I guess the estate didn't want to use pics that Michael didn't approve of and were unreleased. Hmm... I guess the same could be said about the music that will be released in the album boxed

PICTURE http://www.heebiejeebies....n/0360.jpg

The woman is Mabel King (in The Wiz, 1978, she was Evillene). In 1989 she suffered a stroke and with the assistance of Michael she was placed in the Motion Picture and Television Fund Home in Woodland Hills California, “Michael Jackson responded immediately when he learned of Mabel’s stroke - he was loved by Mabel, she was so grateful for his assistance right up until her death in 1999” says Ruben Malaret her then Agent/Publicist.In the 1990s, while living at the Motion Picture Fund home she battled diabetes, and eventually lost both of her legs and an arm to the disease. In 1999, she died from complications of diabetes and a second stroke.

For more than 20 years, faithful and discreet, Michael watched over Mabel.

----------------------------------------------------

His heart and kindness never surprises me.

with Michael, nothing is ever as it seems on first glance.....this cover is more like a puzzle...and the "new" single is called "Breaking News?".....everybody take a look at the 2 cherubs at the top...you notice that one is light and the other is dark?.....look and study this cover closely...notice anything else?....Michael on the left from the thriller era is darker while Michael from the bad era is lighter?...another thing to look at as well....notice the camera and how it's facing you?....i can't wait to hear the new single....Michael Jackson is like a book that once you pick it up, you can't put it down..

Indeed. smile

There could definitely be a lot of symbolism in this painting, with each aspect having a different implicit meaning. However, as minute as it is, I still don't like the Prince reference. confused It's nonsensical, unless one of the children requested it be included for some reason.

The cover could be a poster or a desktop I like it, if they would have just put some random picture it would be boring. It's symbolic , it's showing michael throughout his career. Still not excited , it's bittersweet.

Like I said part of me wants there to be a Prince link on the album somewhere - maybe a Prince penned track, or a Prince guitar solo - something to make sense of that reference.

But it is in a bubble - maybe there are other bubbles with other references that will come to light - maybe a motown/berry gordy one, a marvin one, a stevie one, a janet key earing one - who knows.
