I wouldn´t go so far as to say that "Michael Jackson" is only a character and a lie. But I think that Michael created the persona "King of Pop" to protect his privacy, to take the pressure off the person Michael Jackson and to free up space for the man behind the persona. And I also agree that maybe all the masks and makeup have been introduced deliberately to make it easier for a "double" to impersonate the King of Pop.

So if we follow that logic, having finally killed off the fictional KOP, the REAL Michael Jackson - and again, I'm not sure any of us outsiders would recognize him - can finally reappear. I'm still not convinced, however, that the real Michael Jackson - the kid who performed with the J5 - is the MAN behind this all. And before everyone jumps all over me, I can only suggest that there is a great mystery here and I'm not prepared to take a position either way as to who or who is not the man behind the mask. I agree. I believe there is only ONE Michael Jackson but "King of Pop" is a character who can be played by many people. Same person from Thriller to TII. He has changed, yes, because of his vitiligo and surgeries. BUT HE IS NOT A LIE.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Eyes don't lie, even when he's wearing make-up and after surgeries. But that's just my point of view.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
I can't argue with you there and, frankly I'm stumped or hesitant to suggest that Michael's changes are the result of some process that can't be explained simply by plastic surgery. That said, could it be that the Michaels we see with sunglasses are the actors and the ones where we have a good direct look at his eyes, the 'real' Michael. And could it be all the fakes and weirdnesses are red herrings to camoflauge and make believable a far more incredible transformation.
I think there is only one Michael. I have no doubt that decoys have been used over the years - the decoy goes out the front door while Michael slips out the back - but those instances would be brief. I tend to agree with what curls said and what MaryK said about Michael's King of Pop persona vs private life. IF a double was ever used in, for instance, the TII movie, then I think it was done to confuse the audience and to create uncertainty. I think Michael prefers to keep people guessing and unsure. Having an air of mystery works in his favour.

The man with sunglasses is Michael too, he is shy and likes to wear them however as I said there are many looks alike swarming over there and confusing people, remember the one that approaches at the Sony speech (1:39) where Michael said Mottola was an evil man, he was exactly almost the same as if he were his twin but you know..... different, I am able to see "ALWAYS" those differences, and another thing is if you listen carefully to his voice you'll notice he does have a black man voice but softer, Jermaine also has a soft voice and nobody is questioning if he is a black man, look at Latoya does she look like a black woman?? is she the same woman as when she was younger?? ask yourself, even Katherine did use plastic surgery look at her nose before and now, just saying.BTW in case you hadn't noticed, he is wearing a bulletproof vest in that speech, poor Michael, I love you!![youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx0Un9K5dKQ[/youtube]
