This is one of the best photo shoots he's done in years. The Vogue photos were awkward to me.

He looks GREAT!

WOW this is the best i have seen MJ look in years and im not the type of fan who says he looks great all the time. I will admit he's not looking to good.

It seems like there is more tone to his complexion which makes him look a whole lot better.

I want to read the rest of that interview. Whenever he's talking about music, the "Jacko" persona doesn't shine through

I think good make-up can't save the face MJ.

They probably use a lot of computer to make him look not too bad...

I disagree with the fans from the Bad/Dangerous eras onwards; I don't think thats an indication on whether they like him 'white' or anything. Because if anything, its clear Michael looked fucked up extremely since than as well. At least than he was cute in the early 90s, not too far a stray from 'Bad'. And in 'Bad', he is still very much caramel anyway. Dangerous, a few shades lighter. I can't bare to look at him now. Everytime I do, I cringe. I still find him attractive, but not physically...not anymore.

I'm going to say is straght up -- Michael looks like a monstrous being post 1996 [sic] and I of course, I can never air my opinions, not even in the most liberalist MJ forums because we have to stay 'positive' and we get 'enough of that from the haters'. Sorry, I can't contain myself when I hear ZOMGGG!!!!11 HE LOOOKS SOO SEXXY!!! a million times over in regards to a photo that only looks good in comparison to 2001 so I have to go on a fucking Prince forum to air out my tension. He looks good here [Ebony] but as good as he possibly can at this point. Not 'good' genuinely.

I agree about the white pro-white MJ fans. In fact, I wrote a blog entry about it where I quoted you [or someone else, can't remember] incoperated into my article/essay (whatever you want to call it) and basically burned bitches to the stake. Timmy knows what I'm talking about

Oh yeah, are we going with 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory', or 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'? The switch of the names really bother me because it makes me confused.

Either way, it should be renamed to Wacko Jackso and the Chocolate Factory.

and I don't mean 'wacko jacko' in a disrespectful away.

He looks very masculine in these new photos.

Well, if you can't look at him (now?? You mean you could look at him "then"? What the fuck do you mean? You're fucking 18 years old! You didn't even get to know him "then" when he looked different!) then don't! Listen to his music and stay far away from his pictures and videos!

Geez... it's getting so ridiculous and annoying! People like you are what probably created the problem in the first place! People who just never shut up! Shut the fuck up! You aired yur point!

Besides, you can find great pictures of him in almost every era (of course, there are crappy ones as well and they probably outweigh, but there's no need to harp over that over and over again)! Different but still good looking! People should finally except it and get over it! He will never again look the way he did in the 70s and 80s!

And in person, meaning in nature, close up, he most of the times looks better than on pictures!

I agree! In particular when these people post on the Org. I can understand their frustration in other forums, but here, almost no one talks about how "sexy" he looks right now. On the contrary.

Some of Michael's female fans can be relentless, lol. And they're usually of the fair complexion, lol. There's some nice ones that don't care but some others (like the ones at MJNO) are truly the "wacko" ones, lol.

Rodya24 said:

And he isn't. Used to be but now? Nah...

Timmy84 said:

OMFG! DID ANYONE in this thread write that Michael Jackson looks better now than he used to before the skin-color change? NO! Why keep mentioning what these other fans WRITE IN OTHER FORUMS, when no one has expressed that kind of a sentiment on the ORG. THESE POSTS are as ANNOYING as MINE on those idiotic threads on JANET vs. MADONNA which I have STUPIDLY contributed to several times too much!

Rodya24 said:

Fool, I meant on the MJNO board. Of course the Orgers don't say he is. We all know the truth.

Timmy84 said:

I KNOW! That was my point. Why mention what other people have written in other forums? Do you have a problem with people enjoying how these pictures have turned out? Why interject race into the conversation?

Rodya24 said:

Not trying to. I was just agreeing with Flo. This is my time to exit stage left. I ain't getting into arguments unless I have to nWo yo ass.

Good! BYE!

I find it so rude to talk about someone that way. Admittedly you do not have to be attracted to him, its not some contract you sign when you become a fan and everyone has their own tastes in what they personally find attractive, but calling him names and saying things like you cant bare to look at him is really upsetting to hear.
Afterall he is a human being, can you imagine if he heard those things. Before he is a superstar he is a human, he hurts like us, he does all the things we do emotionally as humans. Of course your entitled to your opinion and you can address your opinions in any way you chose, but I will just say that I found the way you worded your dislike of Michaels surgery pretty rude and upsetting.
I suffer with confidence issues myself, and just to imagine having confidence issues, and problems with your looks while being watched by the world must have been an incredible pressure. Exspecially going from child superstar, the cutie to a teenager being told things about appearence. Admittedly everyone gets told something negative about their appearence once in a while, but it effects people in different ways.
Watching the Martin Bashir documentary the one thing that stood out for me was Michael talking about those fans who met him and his brothers at the airport. Saying 'eww what happened' to Michaels face. To watch that seeing the water glistening in his eyes as he told the story, and the fact that he remembered that from all that time passing. All the things hes achieved since and been through, he remembers that one person putting him down. That pretty much explains alot.
If you suffer with battles of appearence nothing can talk you out of it, its a battle you go through alone. Only you can teach yourself to love yourself. When people tell you your beautiful, it goes in one ear and out the other. And it seems the only way Michael dealt with it was through surgery. He had the money and it was there for him, open to him. Of course the surgeon won't say, Michael you dont need it, Michael dont do that. All they see is green.
Surgery won't make you feel better if you have issues with yourself inside. It will be a continuing thing. Michael obviously doesn't feel comfortable talking about his surgery, as when asked his body language went all over the place. And I dont believe that to be a cover up, I just believe he doesnt want to draw attention to it. He wants to move from the subject of his looks.
Michael didn't need to change a damn thing. Not one thing. He was so gorgeous and whoever put it in his head that he even needed one nose job needs to be slapped 57 million times, hard with a club of spikes. Metal ones, that pierce the skin.
He isn't ugly at all. He is not a freak of nature, he isn't any of the things you posted. I just needed to say that I felt it was pretty darn rude. Peoples comments and judgemental ways is what made him want to change things in the first place. People will always judge, I guess its human nature. Ehem excuse the pun or actually dont excuse it cause its true.

And I might as well.

Like for instance, to those posting large-ass MJ pics, can you put that in links for most of them?

I have always wondered that.

Man he was a beautiful brother, that Michael. Anyway, the article states this is the boy's seventh cover, huh?

Fuck it when is he gonna be on JET again...

SIKE! I ain't going anywhere, but I ain't about to go all mad on you.

Janet-hater.

I don't think he ugly though. Like Flo said, he's attractive in a different way now.
