Everybody says he looked so sexy during the Bad video because he was in all that black leather and stuff...I disagree, I find it impossible to view him as sexy in that video, he was just too CUTE to be sexy there.

Now, I think the one video where he looked drop dead sexy was They Don't Care About Us, the Brazil version, not the prison video, and I think that's because it was about the only time we saw him in blue jeans and a T-shirt...and it was the only time after his overall color went from black to white that he had an open shirt and we could see the dark color on his chest. He spent so much time in dress pants, and long sleeves, and it was a look that worked for him, but it's sexier and more appealing when you just look casual, at least it did with him anyway.

Does Prince have vitiligo too?

Michael Jackson always maintained he was blighted by a rare skin disease called vitiligo.
And it seems his eldest son, Prince Michael may be suffering from the same problem.
The 13-year-old revealed white patches under his arm while on a recent holiday to Hawaii with his siblings Paris, 12 and Prince Michael II, eight.
Discolouration: Prince Michael revealed patches of white skin under his arm while holidaying in Hawaii earlier this week


While there is the possibility it was the result of sun exposure, it appeared more dramatic than peeling skin.
Vitiligo is a hereditary skin condition which discolours the face and body.
Jackson, who died last year at the age of 50, blamed the disease for the gradual lightening of his own skin over the years.

His claim was always met with some scepticism from critics, who accused him of intentionally bleaching his skin.


Like father, like son? There is speculation the 13-year-old, pictured here with sister Paris, is suffering from vitiligo


Now that Prince Michael is showing signs of similar symptoms, some are convinced it is evidence Jackson really WAS the teen's biological parent.
For years the paternity of Jacksonn's children has been under question because of the difference in skin tone.

But a family source is quoted as telling American tabloid The Globe: 'It proves once and for all that Michael is the father!'

Prince Michael and his sister Paris were born to Debbie Rowe, Michael's wife from 1996 to 1999.
Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket, was born to an unknown surrogate after the divorce.

Funny how he was born with MJ's artificial clef. I don't buy it 2 seconds that this guy is his son. No way.

Why? There is definetely a resemblence there. Plus why would he be with the rest of the family at his funeral? That never made any sense to me either.

Some people are such ostriches, have their heads buried so far in the sand, instead of accepting that the father had it, the son has it, now some people are saying he found a sperm donor who ALSO had it. Well, WHY would you do that to your kid if you looked for someone else to father them? He explained when he found the surrogate mother for Blanket, that she had to be in good health and have good eyesight, so I can't see him deliberately looking for a donor with the same skin problem he had.

Some people will look for any excuse as to why the kids are not related to MJ. Personally I think it's a load of bullshyt - who cares whether he was the bio father or not? He loved and raised those kids, he's the only father they knew.
It wouldn't surprise me if Prince had vitiligo - it certainly looks like from recent pictures that have surfaced.
And yes - he is the biological father

Yeesh, I forgot about that video. it's amazing how different he did look in casual attire, rather than smartly dressed like we are accustomed to seeing him. At the end of the day, whether he was wearing a million dollar suit or a bin bag - he still looked gorgeous! lmao

I think one of his best looks was for the Blood On The Dancefloor vid...hair in a french pleat, dressed to the nines in deep redand a sexy vid too
~~is there a smilie for drooling~~

I really don't know how you cannot be a fan of it. It's such a masterpiece if you ask me. One of my favourite songs, if not my favourite song by any artist.

Black Eyed Peas leader Will.i.am has spoken out against the release of a new Michael Jackson album in November. The producer, who worked with the King of Pop in 2008, said that Jackson “wouldn’t have wanted it that way”. Check out exactly what he had to say below:

Quote :

“How you gonna release Michael Jackson when Michael Jackson ain’t here to bless it?” he told the Associated Press news agency.”He was a perfectionist and he wouldn’t have wanted it that way,” he said of the new album, which Sony is expected to release in November.

Quote :

“I don’t think that should ever come out. Now that he is not part of the process, what are they doing? Why would you put a record out like that?

Quote :

“Because he was a friend of mine, I just think that’s disrespectful.

Quote :

“What’s wrong with what he already contributed to the world?”

While I respect Will's opinion, he is completely off base with this one. MJ has repeatedly talked about his legacy & his children & by legacy, he was talking about his stored songs he left for them. MJ knew he wouldn't be here always, & like an insurance, as exemplified by the living thrust, he made sure his estate & legacy will live on after he dies. He made sure that he had stored enough songs to continue with his legacy.

I like Billie Jean but for some reason, I just don't listen to it if it's just audio. I love the dance that goes with it though, especially the later adaptation, I'm not a big fan of the 25th anniv Billie Jean.

I do believe he has Vitiligo, in fact La Cienega's blog is the most detailed entry on this that any other. That definitely isn't sunburn peeling, I know about sunburn peeling & the armpit area is the least likely area to get sunburned & peeling all alone even! LOL!

I know it seems weird that he was at the funeral but I don't personally think he's MJ's kid either. However, the guy has a YT account & was hinting that he may be MJ's kid, I can't figure him out at all.

IA. I think what scares people about Invincible is the # of ballads on it. But they're GOOD ballads.

I agree with this assessment, I had a difficult time appreciating Invincible at 1st because I'm not much for ballads myself but the album has become my favorite MJ album now. I think if Threatened, Unbreakable, 2000 Watts & Invincible had those amazing dance routines people would've loved it! Speechless is my all-time favorite MJ song, but it is difficult to listen to without losing composure.

Favorite to Least:

1. Invincible
2. OTW
3. History (2 disc set)
4. Dangerous
5. Bad
6. Thriller
7. BOTDF (because I never listen to it)

Thriller has good songs but as an album it's more like a compilation random album. There's no theme, no context or something that will glue it together. Nothing.

When did Michael look his best to you? I know we're supposed to laud the dark chocolate Michael that existed up until around "We Are The World," but personally I think he looked his best during his Puerto Rican Bad era.

He was considerably lighter, but wasn't as transparent as he'd become later on.

IMO he looked the best when he made the Bad album.

Katherine Jackson's Lawyer Goes After Joe Jackson
Originally posted Jun 13th 2010 8:37 PM PDT by TMZ Staff

Joe Jackson's cruel attack -- that his wife, Katherine, is responsible for Michael's death, is but the latest in a rich history of reckless, untrue comments ... so says Katherine's lawyer and the lawyer for Michael Jackson's estate.



Katherine is not commenting on what amounts to her husband's declaration of war -- that she refused to "keep [Michael] cheered up" because she didn't want to invade his privacy, and he'd be alive today if she had.

Katherine's lawyer, Adam Streisand, tells TMZ, "The world knows that Mrs. Jackson has always been a loving mother and grandmother, and that she and Michael had a very special relationship." Streisand then drives it home: "The world also knows who Joe Jackson is and he seems bent on never letting us forget."

Howard Weitzman, lawyer for the Michael Jackson estate, tells TMZ, "The inference by Joe Jackson that Mrs. Jackson was in any way responsible for Michael's death is preposterous. Katherine Jackson was a supportive and loving mother throughout Michael's life. His love and respect for her is reflected in his estate plan." Ouch ... and true.

Now here's how Joe may have screwed himself. He's not included in Michael's will and no matter how hard he tries to invalidate the will, he's going to end up with nothing in that department. The chances of Joe getting a court-approved allowance from the estate are slim to none. And Joe is trying to exploit Michael's name to make money, but his unauthorized attempts have pretty much been shut down by the estate.

So the only thing Joe has been able to rely on ... Katherine's generosity in the money department. Looks like that gravy train may have finally left the station.

http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/13/katherine-jackson-joe-jackson-michael-jackson-blame-death-estate-will-money/

I have had about as much as I can take of Joe and his cruelty to that family. He has done enough to those kids during thier lifetime and now he don't know when to stop. He is just angry because Michael left his estate to her.
