Prince makes it onto MJ's new album cover.

"the album cover of MICHAEL was created by painter Kadir Nelson in 2009. In the oil painting, Kadir – who is known for story telling through his art – takes us on a journey through some key moments and important people in Michael Jackson’s life."

In the bubble next to the tigers head.

I don't see Prince anywhere on the cover...

Shouldn't this be moved to the MJ sticky in the Non-Prince section?

Why the artist thought that the Prince symbol would be relevant on a Michael Jackson album cover baffles me.

Unless he's like "Prince? Yeah, he's like Michael Jackson isn't he?"...

I assume they had permission from Prince to use that?

The artist stated it represented important moments and people in MJ's life.

I think it's neat. Just typical MJ stuff... a little something to talk about.

Can't wait for the album.

Could be considered to be a symbolic (no pun intended)statement'; ''The iconic Prince was considered a tiny unimportant bubble in the majestic kingdom of the king of pop which could easily be blown''

damn, I should get some sleep! razz

You don't think his peers and the competition Prince brought weren't important to him?
