Symbol on new MJ album

So, what do you think ? On the new MJ album cover there's prince's symbol clearly showing.

What's the deal you think??

peace& headbang

I think

  • the album cover sucks
  • it looks just like the kind of think MJ would like to hang over his chimney, so I'm going to guess it's a painting he commissioned, Prince symbol including
  • I'll leave the more subtle/absurd interpretations over to the rest of you biggrin

Edit: Also, I'm quite excited by the new album, and even more by the Vision short film box set. w0000t!

Really strange, weird & bizarre. I don't know what 2 think of it, is Prince given any credit on the album? If not then i can't see any reason 4 the symbol 2 be there, if nothing else it certainly looks out of place!!!!!!! Never i thought i'd see Prince's symbol on a MJ album! The cover kinda reminds me of the Dangerous cover, same kind of theme. Interesting 2 what others orgers think ! C'mon guys help shed some light on this!confused

Prince once tried 2 change his name 2 a symbol so that ur'e mother couldn't find him in the phonebook!
Peace & Be Wild!

And Prince heard a voice from the beyond say:

"Sue me!" flipped off

Could it mean that a collaboration is on the album???

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

prince would never want that. I am sure prince wants to be known as a brilliant musician and not as a guy who appeared on a michael jackson album

Even at this size, the symbol is pretty noticeable. I wonder what it means being on there, and also what it means that the symbol is in a bubble?

This'll get locked cause my original thread got locked. The artist explained that the cover signifies important moments and people in MJ's life and career.

I'm assuming the old 80's rivalry and Prince being his perceived competition is the real reason it's there. It's a nice nod i think.

Prince can try and sue for copyright and trademark infringement and make money from MJ's album

If he didn't agree with this

Yes, Prince can sue the Estate, a grieving Mother and three kids. Good call.

What next? dancing babies?

Interesting.....I think it's cool! Not sure why it's there but there has to be a reason! Maybe they did do some work together or maybe he was just a fan and decided to put it in before he passed? I don't see any good coming for suing or complaining that it's on the cover by Prince at all......I would be proud that it's on there if I were Prince. I can't wait to find out why it's there though!
