First time I've seen the gold pic, very striking but I can almost see why the record company dropped it (if they did) as it's so airbrushed and they'd be looking to avoid anything that would be classed as bizarre. Also the media would no doubt jump on it and claim he looked like a woman or something. I do think the hair quite suits him though, he looks gorgeous despite the airbrushing! <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
PARIS (LALATE) – Photos that Michael Jackson had taken by Arno Bani at age 23 are now in a Paris auction with Pierre Berge Associes. The Michael Jackson Paris auction features 12 pictures, none of which have ever been seen. In fact, news of the auction today from Paris does not come with a preview of the images.
The pictures were taken in 1999 by Parisian photographer Arno Bani. Bani claims that in 1999 a 23-year old Jackson had seen Bani’s work in a French fashion magazine. Arnon claims Jackson called him and asked him to take his pictures. It remains unanswered for which purpose Jackson sought the pictures to be taken, how many were eventually snapped, and who retained the pictures after the photoshoot.
The auction has set bidding on each photo to start at roughly $1300. The Paris auction has 12 total pictures from that shoot. The Jackson estate has yet to make a statement about the auction. One of the pictures is named “Michael Jackson’s Blue Eye.”
This photo doesn't really look like MJ. I mean, it's been heavily airbrushed and manipulated somehow...makes him look like he has an overbite or something.
December 13, 2010 ... another event among many others, and Michael really considered dead, all profiting from it, and anything he comes back ... <!-- s --><!-- s -->
So much of this picture looks airbrushed and altered in the face to me. However, I do notice Michael's distinctive "hollow" beneath his Adam's Apple, so maybe it IS him.
I do believe it is being released now due to the Hoax.
Is that supposed to be Mike?? Sorry, but doesn't look anything like him. Why would they airbrush it so much it would look like a different person?
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Oh, and I don't like the hair...reminds me of our (former) prime minister:
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
I thought the same when I saw the pic. I mean why would they need to take a pic of Michael's back? <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> The message is so obvious. Michael is Back!!! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
hmm i wonder what michael thinks of these pictures...it doesnt even look like him at all, it looks like some mj impersonator or something, i dont know why any photographer of mj would ever want to make him look THIS airbrushed. i mean if the goal for the picture was to go for some type of serene-god-like-non-human-statuesque-figure then thats all good but i think they could've achieved that while still having michael at least look like himself. and this picture is honestly the first time ive ever seen mike and had second thoughs about his wig...haha

These pics were originally meant for the Invincible album. Maybe the "back" of Michael was to go at the back of the CD case... know what i mean? Face on front, back at back of the case.
Also.. yes it is airbrushed and he looks different.. that is called art. I think MJ was going for that effect.

i know i know.. i mean i really like the picture of mike with the blue eye and that was airbrushed like crazy too. i also love the ebony pics of mike and those were airbrushed...i guess i just think this picture looks too much UNlike michael, imo, thats all.
I agree. This picture just seems so ... I don't know if odd is the right word, but that's what I'm going with. I guess I personally don't look at that photo and think it's artistic, or all that flattering.

...weird isn't it? In 1999 was Michael 40 years old, NOT 23 <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> A lot of 999 in this article BTW
L.O.V.E. as always

Yes, I know, I've read that too, but in the 2nd paragraph:
is written that Jackson 23 years old is, it could be wrong grammar.
I do believe it is being released now due to the Hoax.
