They did a damn good make-up job!!!

To say that this is fantastic news would be an understatement!!!!

And that cover! damn, that has got to be the best MJ cover ever!!!! I'm getting 2 copies of this mag!

kudos to whoever in Brooklyn did his hair

He hasn't been on any American magazine cover in years PERIOD. He doesn't even do magazine photoshoots like that anyway.
These are some of the backissues of the other Ebony/Jet magazines (that I can find).

Ah well ya know how we do it out in BK .

I'm loving the new weave too though lol. Whoever hooked up Michael's hair, wardrobe and make up did a good job. Ever since he got rid of Karen Faye, he's been looking much better.

*Shudders at the thought of the days when MJ used to wear bright red lipstick*

Poor LaToya...LOL

Thankfully I'm just a casual fan of the man's music. I'm waiting to read the interview. This is like Michael's first cover on EBONY since the MJ-Lisa Marie cover!

bboy87 said:

And I for one am glad to see Michael back on EBONY's covers. It's been a mighty long ass time, dawg. I hope this interview is mind-blowing though. I wanna see what the brother gotta say.

Wow- This is great.... Im so happy to see a positive aura around Michael...and nothing negative to get him back in the public eye (child court cases). He looks really good in these photo's and it would be great if he came back with a BANG! So Michael please THRILL me..I wanna see that the king of pop is still on his throne!

I dig the short curly hair Michael's sporting here. I'm thinking this was after "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" hit number-one or just at that moment.

I wonder by the time of the album if Michael's gonna do something with JET too. I don't think he's done anything with JET since 2001 or whatever year he was on the cover for some commemorative issue. I think he was named the most covered artist on the magazine over 40 times if I'm not mistaken.

Latoya and Michael look so good here. Latoya especially. She was so pretty to me I always wondered why she felt she had to get so much plastic surgery.

...or why ANY of them felt that way. Except Tito, who I don't believe had any work done, remains a handsome brother to this day (IMHO). Actually, Mom & Dad aren't hurting in the "looks" department either (with the exception of Joe perhaps, appearing a bit on the EVIL side. But hey, even The Devil has his day).

PDogz said:

They were all very attractive before all this "extra" work was done.


I saw Tito on his website a couple of months ago and I should say How Handsome. He has aged very well and looks better to me now than all his brothers.

But Latoya really stands out to me. Michael does as well...but he has lived in a fish bowl his whole life..so to a degree its understandable.- U have to always look good in the public eye but his downfall was that he went on the EXTREME with it (still love him tho) Latoya on the other hand hasent so I dont understand.

It seems like they are all seeing the same plastic surgeon too! same noses, eye brows, lips...

I used to think Janet had only one nose job, but I've recently realized the different between the Dreamstreet era nose job, than after sometime in Rhythm Nation. It has that godawful triangle shape.

Janet, you should of stopped while you were ahead.

They should of visited Halle Berry's doctor.

I'm sorry but Michael had a Big ass nose...
needed its own zip code

EmbattledWarrior said:

OOOOOH WEEEEE !... that's hard, funny.. but hard.

Does his hair in the cover pic look brown to anyone else?

ReggaeQueen said:

I swear! He looks ssssoooo damn fine on that cover!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! To whomever!!! Listening to OFF THE WALL right now!!! Bring it back home, MJ baby.

i hope his music is as good as the news lately about him

motownlover said:

Whether it is to some and isn't to others, he will never be able to please everyone. I'm extremely happy for him, though.

2freaky4church1 said:

Are you suggesting that,
these days, he can sing Ebony & Ivory as a solo instead of a duet?

A white man on the front of Ebony But having said that he doesn't look too bad, it just doesn't look like Michael.

DAMNNNN. Michael is looking good.

Ive already put my order in for it.

He aint ebony anymore in my books, he is colourless. No matter how much I love his music I have nuthin but pity for him.

I really do hope the interview is about more than just Thriller 25.
