I've been meaning to ask for a while, does anyone know what that greenish large thing is in the sky, that looks like a mushroom northern lights? Thanks!
Other strange fact, in the "We are the world" part of the cover, the few artists are well recognizable (Bob Dylan etc), except for Cyndi Lauper, she looks nothing like herself but more like Lady Gaga in disguise.
Nothing serious, just thinking outloud, but still! Disturbing.

i also wondered what that was! - i thought it was northern lights too , but that isnt really relevant in MJ's life..maybe its a symobl: meaning something that links to the other random stuff in the cover art..
If you blow up the 100 dollar bill, you will see faces in it, especially MJ faces across the top edge and I don't know who is in the middle? This is Elvis hiding behind MJ money!
Have all the people been named already? Lead me there. If not, who are all those on the up left corner? There's Gordy, Ross, his father, Ed Sullivan, Chaplin, Stevie Wonder, Sammy Davis Jr, (what's the blade all about? )Bill Bray, KennyO, Mandela, Branca..?
Hi,
I'm not sure about this one, but I think I've spotted a small owl in the left upper corner. Maybe my eyes are tricking me and it's just another face. But it would fit to the other illuminatic symbol (number 23 in the Dangerous cover pic). Can someone zoom in to that corner?
And there are a few other religious symbols on the left side like a cross and a goblet...
Then I have some questions, I hope you can help me with this:
-Who is the person between King Michael and Beat It Michael?
-Why is there a skeleton between King Michael and Bad Michael?
-Why is there a buzz saw above Off The Wall Michael?

I think the lines only suggest letters.<br /><br />I think it was left vague on purpose. I don't think it actually spells anything coherent. <br /><br />He messin' with us!<br /><br />
Going back to the photo of Brandon on the cover, the way he would have looked at the time had he lived. Notice that his eyes are closed and everyone else has their eyes open. This I would think signifies that he is dead. But it looks odd to me that Marlon and Brandon appear to be joined.
hey! i was just 'studying' the Michael album cover for anything significant in the hoax..and i found this:
well.. somewhere i read that the artwork used for the new album was made in 2009 - since when was there was an MJ cirque du soleil in 2009? criss angel.. beLIEve?? (sorry if there was another one i forgot about or i have lost my mind.. <!-- s --><!-- s --> )
why would cirque du soleil symbol be there? it was never a part of his life?! - only in relation to beLIEve .. and the MJ show , but that was put together 2010..
sorry if it's already posted , and please leave comments!
with the love , L.O.V.E.!
Was there a deal with CDS in 2009? I remember it was first announced in 2010. So how come the painter knew about the Cirque in 2009 and included it into the picture?
Excuse me for reopening this thread after such a long time, but I've found some very interesting things about the album cover. First of all, I used the full album cover, which you can find here.
The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis have been brought up before, but what I found noteworthy is their significance in Roman mythology according to Wikipedia.
In ancient Roman mythology, Aurora is the goddess of the dawn, renewing herself every morning to fly across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun.
You can also see a shooting star next to the Aurora.
Traditionally shooting stars also meant a new birth and changes in ones life and also a wish for a better life. They can also be a symbol of reaching ones ultimate destiny.
You can refer to this site for more details about shooting stars.
The peacock has been mentioned as well. More details can be found on Wikipedia.
In Christianity, the peacock is an ancient symbol of eternal life.The Peacock symbolism represents the "all-seeing" church, along with the holiness and sanctity associated with it. Additionally, the Peacock represents resurrection, renewal and immortality within the spiritual teachings of Christianity. Themes of renewal are also linked to alchemical traditions to, as many schools of thought compare the resurrecting phoenix to the modern-day Peacock.
Melek Taus (ملك طاووس - Kurdish Tawûsê Melek), the Peacock Angel, is the Yazidi name for the central figure of their faith. The Yazidi consider Tawûsê Melek an emanation of God and a benevolent angel who has redeemed himself from his fall and has become a demiurge who created the cosmos from the Cosmic egg. After he repented, he wept for 7,000 years, his tears filling seven jars, which then quenched the fires of hell. In art and sculpture, Tawûsê Melek is depicted as a peacock. However, peacocks are not native to the lands where Tawûsê Melek is worshipped.
Also, I found the number 23 in the left corner of the Dangerous mask.
There was a discussion about whether or not the cover was done in 2009. I think this is the proof that it was really completed in 2009.
You can see the Roman numerals MMIX, which represent 2009. I'm sorry if these findings have been posted before. And sorry for the long post, too. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
sorry to be a pain and reopen. does anyone have a link to a high def full pic.<br /><br />also one version has princes symbol on it. the other doesnt it was removed due to not having prince's permission. so the report says, but who knows. i dont know what to buy from media these days.<br /><br />refering to this link....<br /><br />http://hiphop-n-more.com/2010/11/prince-symbol-on-michael-jacksons-new-album-cover/<br /><br />
People look at the album cover!!!<br /><br />I only realised today.<br /><br />In the top right hand corner you have Michael Jackson in front of the "This is it" sign.<br /><br />He is showing us the victory sign and directly underneath him is a freaky MJ pic on a tabloid burning.<br /><br />Defeating the tabloids, that is a valid reason for a hoax!!!

I was thinking that in both versions, Captain Eo's arms look too long... but maybe that's just me... In the original version, looks like he's holding the cameras... Like he's directing this... but Idk why they'd be dropped later...

Yes, this has been discussed many times. Some say it says "Love" others think it says "Alive" <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

<!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
the original is important to me so i can think for myself.
I realize that, I put the one where "ALIVE" is outlined so that you could see what we were talking about better. I was only trying to help, gee...
