I wouldn't like all the attention from the media either plus he's really insecure about the way he looks which isn't good for a celebrity because your skin has to be made of iron to handle all the negativity.



The insecurity about his looks goes way back. He just doesn't know any other way about things, he was bought up in the lime light. Its a bit like The Truman Show.

I object to all that cosmetic surgery. He looked really good and then he decided to get more surgery that I don't think he needed. I can understand getting a little but he went overboard. I am sure his celebrity status and the intense scrutiny had something to do with it, too.

Surely he has that body dysmorphic disorder thing?

The kind of transformations he had determinately pursued, cannot be within the scope of normal or even extraordinary vanity....can it? :?

I'm not sure if it's BDD but he and Latoya looked similar and were the ones who got the most surgery so maybe they were bullied and teased about their appearance a lot growing up. Who knows, maybe they were told they wouldn't have careers in entertainment unless they became better looking, the public wouldn't keep buying their music or paying to see them live.

Is it normal that i was thinking of one of the previous american presidents named Jackson instead of everyone's favorite pop star?...

Its probably cause all of his brothers and father used to tease him about his looks. Then he got caught on fire in the 80's on stage. And got 3rd degree burns on his face. So after those repairs and his nose job he got carried away.

True he got burned while filming a commercial for Pepsi cola which reminds me of Joan Crawford (maybe her ghost had something to do with that) but even though he got burned Latoya didn't and she ended up looking just like him.

To me his face was far more sculptured, and by that I don't mean plastic surgeried, I mean it has a more masculine appearance. His gait is stronger with wider strides and his voice is definately deeper and louder. I thought it was a lookalike at first!
I think it is the real one because the hands don't lie, and his look a lot older. However he appears much more MASCULINE than the Michael Jackson I remember............


i also thought he looked much more robust.
then i thought he may be on some type of steroid.
when i last saw him on TV at that trial, he looked feeble and gaunt. i thought then that he was either faking fragility in order to be treated more kindly, or that he may have had a degree of muscular atrophy from some wasting disease (which i thought more likely since he was very thin).
if he did have a muscle wasting condition (not necessarily fatal), then he would be prescribed steroids like very old men people sometimes are to combat muscle loss.

the steroids may not have only made him more robust, they also would account for his increased confidence and his ability and desire to perform again.

I haven't been following Jackson as of late, b9. I think he would look better if he reversed some of the cosmetic procedures and maybe get a tan?
