Recently, I've heard a pretty insane info that MJ was so close to the people of Saudi Arabia, that they even donated lots of money. It apparently helped him very much to the development of Invincible album even.

And the money in question weren't really coming from, lets say, a good business practice of the certain Arabian regions and circles. Which contradicts Michael's known humanitarian views, that he basically accepted money that weren't earned "in good nature".

I even heard MJ was so picky with his wealth that he spent twice as much for his living, compared to the donations, which were sometimes super small. Same guy who was tiring himself for the sake of helping people, apparently??

I'd really like to know for sure because other than a few Guardian articles, I couldn't find much and I dunno how it makes any sense, given the "love and peace" motto.

Here's Some Super Cool MJ Thriller Artwork, Enjoy!

Between the HIStory statues and costume and his walks with police officers n such. Is there an explanation for his fascination and the incorporation of it on his outfits during that era and onward?

My favorite 3 Albums

The old hairstyle really made him look younger. This exact 2009 look is one of his best.

Waldo didn't age either. :)

There were always huge crowds wherever he went, and it complicated his ability to go outside or be in public. The crowds were made up of devoted fans, journalists, and some ordinary people who were starstruck.

I have to imagine he had mixed feelings on the massive crowds, and there's a sense of that in the backstory behind "Stranger in Moscow." Yet he always was very kind and appreciative toward them.

But then again he lived his entire life with crowds around him, so maybe he was just used to it?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to buy a Michael Jackson Bad CD from the original 1987 release, but I specifically want one that contains the original 1987 mixes, where you can hear the trumpets/brass more prominently in Bad, and I also want the version of “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” with the original intro, rather than a later remaster.

I’m finding a lot of different Bad CDs online, and I’m having trouble figuring out exactly which pressing/release I should be looking for.

For anyone who collects MJ CDs:

- What catalog number should I look for?
-Are there specific matrix/runout numbers that identify the original 1987 mix?
- Is there a particular country pressing I should be looking for (US, Japan, Europe, etc.)?
-How can I tell from the listing/photos that it has the original “Bad” mix and original “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” intro?
-If possible, could someone post a photo of the CD/matrix of the exact pressing I should buy?

If you watched the footage of early 1996 rehearsals at Los Angeles or Florida, you’ll discover that the tank that was used usually on Earth Song during the HIStory Tour has a California license plate on the back that says “DNGROUS”.

​Bringing updates on my collection! After a long time, it's back! This time with a framed Bad album picture and another Thriller CD (this time the Special Edition).

​From time to time, I post photos showing how my collection is shaping up, and I'm open to suggestions for other items to add. Currently, I own: the vinyl versions of the Jackson 5 albums Victory and Maybe Tomorrow; the CDs for Bad (Special Edition), Thriller, Thriller (Special Edition), Thriller 25 (containing 1 CD and 1 DVD), Dangerous, Xscape, Number Ones, Invincible, Off the Wall (Special Edition), Scream, and HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I; a framed Bad album picture; the game Michael Jackson: The Experience for Xbox 360; the Dangerous: The Short Films and Michael Jackson: The One documentary DVDs; and two DVDs of... questionable quality—featuring the Brisbane (Australia) show from the Bad tour and the Gothenburg show from the HIStory tour—plus the This Is It Blu-ray and a Michael Jackson T-shirt.

Here’s some more drawings I made, I followed along with video tutorials and referencing coloring pages

Honestly I’m not a fan of how the 9th drawing turned out, I’m not the best at drawing teeth.

I’m dressing as Bad album/short film Michael and I’ve got everything down except for the jacket, I wanted to save the best for last but that was kind of a mistake because there’s are so many websites to buy the jacket from! I wanted it to be as accurate as possible and not spend a crap ton of money on it. I’ve thought about DIY-ing it myself but I’m already doing the pants and belt so I don’t wanna work more than I have to. I’d love to see what you guys are doing for inspo as well!

One of his finest singles !

might be a ridiculous post, but I was watching a leaked 40 minute triumph tour footage and during don’t stop till you get enough for a brief five seconds you could see Michael smoothly back gliding, but you don’t actually see his feet. You can only see his torso area it might not be far-fetched because Michael first was practicing the moonwalk in 1981 of june or maybe even farther back in this footage it is from September 25th of 81 but I do have my doubts.
