I know it's probably been talked about before, and I know some people are going to say the answer to my question is doubles. Here goes...

Why is MJ wearing sunglasses in a lot of the movie and rehearsals? Like I said, I know some people are going to say it's because it isn't MJ. I believe it is MJ through the whole movie. I haven't seen any real evidence to say other wise. I persoanlly think that he wore them maybe because of the drugs? It's a possibility he wore them to hide that he was under the influence of something? Just asking...

I also read somewhere he covered his eyes for a reason. Something to do with seeing into his soul or people being able to read eyes and he would rather cover them. I might be crazy on this one, but it goes back to "Why does he only wear them some days?" I think it could be he had bad days or nights with the drugs and he had to cover the signs.

Again I could be wrong, of course this is just for discussion...

I have previously read that Michael wears sunglasses a lot because of uveitis, an eye problem, as a result of the vitiligo he suffered from.  I don't know if this is the reason why he wears sunglasses in This is It, but it is worth considering http://skindisease.suite101.com/article ... gmentation

i think he use glasses, pescription eyeglasses  (like in the trial) and just for "fashion" he didn´t use it during rehearsals, is "coolest" to use sunglasses (maybe with some prescription) :roll:

They are good points. However he never worse Sunglasses during any performances... just at the opening of Dangerous. So why would he need them now? Plus I think he needed glasses to read only. I never saw him wear them unless he was reading something so why on stage? why certain days only?

I don't believe in doubles myself...but hey, to each his own. It's possible that MJ wasn't wearing makeup for rehearsals, and so he just wanted to wear the shades because of that. He didn't look like he was wearing make up through  most of it, in my opinion. And when he did seem to be wearing makeup, he wasn't wearing his shades. So that's my take on it. But I agree that it could have been a medical issue too.

He has said he sometimes feels uncomfortable around people, so maybe he wants to keep a barrier between him and the people. I think he addressed it in "Moonwalk," people even told him to remove the sunglasses because "your fans want to see your eyes."

I had recently bought and watched a video titled "What killed 'The King Of Pop' " and in it they had Navi talking about Michael and he actually stated that one of the shots in TII was NOT Michael for the guy moved differently then Michael and if anyone knew how Michael moved it was him(Navi) for he lived and breathed learning EVERYTHING Michael so I wonder how much truth is in that..

I believe it could've been for one or two reasons:

1) Doubles. Yes, I believe he used one or two on occasion.

2) Sleepless nights could have created bags under his eyes, so he used sunglasses to cover them.

Maybe because of the lights.

I always thought it was because he's very shy, and sunglasses give him some privacy.

Our eyes and the mouth are connected to our feelings and emotions but our eyes are the most expressive feature of our face. We are able to tell a lot about an individual just by looking directly into their eyes. We can tell things about their character, feelings, truthfulness and even health. This is why the saying that "The eyes are the window of the soul" is really the truth. From birth, we look at faces and several studies have shown that we are born with the natural instinct to focus on the face and the eyes, mouth, expressions etc. This is part of the bonding processes but it also is our first form of communication. Lovers also deeply look into one another's eyes as part of that romantic "love" connection; another bond.

Babies are born with a broad idea of what a face is, with the ability to recognize human faces babies and distinguish faces from other objects. If you show an infant a card with a series of random dots and lines on it, versus a card with a simple smiley face on it, the baby will hone in on the smiley face automatically. This is something we don't have to be taught how to do. Its neurologically hardwired into us. This is why infants and mothers/fathers spend a lot of time staring into each others' eyes, its part of the bonding process.

Now imagine, being Michael and the hundreds, thousand, even millions of people, who would be trying to look into his eyes to discern his innermost feelings, to learn as much as the could about him, to see if he felt a romantic connection to them etc.

I would wear sunglasses too, especially if I was shy. It is a way of maintaining some privacy.

He himself has said in "Moonwalk" that he wore sunglasses and masks because he loved it, according to him wearing them he felt protected, as if he was protecting his privacy, he liked it.
