Hi, I've been lurking around here for some months now, and finally decided to register.
I understand that this has been discussed to some degree, but I thought it might be worth going into further.
I've put together a collage of various incarnations of the man, and it is very intriguing to say the least.
I believe A, D and H to be him, no doubt about it. A is the earliest photo, and you can see the earliest signs of his Vitiligo. D and H are most similar to A, and appear to be either just directly older versions of him, or he's wearing makeup to cover blotches of dark pigmentation (to even out his light skin). What's interesting here is that it seems to be very rare to see
this particular version of him. In my view, is that ADH Mike is the only one that makes me go "Yes, that's him, 100%." I guess I've never really though about it, but when I see the others, I don't really question it, but I think he looks odd in the others. Apart from ADH Mike, all of the others have that look of high strangeness (B, C and E, specifically) that his critics seem to love to jump on, which makes people think he looks like he's had tons of surgery. :roll:
It's very peculiar, aside from his nose, ADH Mike doesn't look like he's had any work done
whatsoever.
B and G seem like total fakes.
Another point of interest is, in this collage (call it lighting, or something else if you'd like), it seems as though his skin tone is completely different between all of them... my theory is that his impersonators, for obvious reasons would be Caucasian instead of African-American as he is. Because of this, they would not have pale-white "void of pigment" skin. I am convinced that G, for example, is Caucasian. His skin is way too dark to be Vitiligo. Have you ever seen someone lose their pigmentation and have their skin turn a yellowish tint? Forgetting the fact that this contradicts what we've seen his skin like so many times previous.
What I was wondering was... has MJ ever been seen in public without makeup in his adulthood? Perhaps F is the answer... hmm.
Then there's E, I and J which... could be him, I guess?
This is a very fascinating and confusing subject indeed, but I am more than convinced that there's at least three different people in the collage.
