Discussion about the album cover of 'Michael'

[katy (MJFAN7)]

Did they make his lips look dry and cracked on purpose or does it say something on there?

Yes, this has been discussed many times. Some say it says "Love" others think it says "Alive"

I realize that, I put the one where "ALIVE" is outlined so that you could see what we were talking about better. I was only trying to help, gee...

I think the lines only suggest letters.

I think it was left vague on purpose. I don't think it actually spells anything coherent.

He messin' with us!

Going back to the photo of Brandon on the cover, the way he would have looked at the time had he lived. Notice that his eyes are closed and everyone else has their eyes open. This I would think signifies that he is dead. But it looks odd to me that Marlon and Brandon appear to be joined.

hey! i was just 'studying' the Michael album cover for anything significant in the hoax..and i found this:

well.. somewhere i read that the artwork used for the new album was made in 2009 - since when was there was an MJ cirque du soleil in 2009? criss angel.. beLIEve?? (sorry if there was another one i forgot about or i have lost my mind..  :lol: )

why would cirque du soleil symbol be there? it was never a part of his life?! - only in relation to beLIEve .. and the MJ show , but that was put together 2010..
sorry if it's already posted , and please leave comments!

with the love , L.O.V.E.!

Was there a  deal with CDS in 2009? I remember it was first announced in 2010. So how come the painter knew about the Cirque in 2009 and included it into the picture?

In the booklet, of the women, I see Janet, Tatum, Liza, Brooke, Lisa, Naomi Campbell.. but who is that brunette with big curls at the bottom?

Excuse me for reopening this thread after such a long time, but I've found some very interesting things about the album cover. First of all, I used the full album cover, which you can find You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.
 
The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis have been brought up before, but what I found noteworthy is their significance in Roman mythology according to Wikipedia.

In ancient Roman mythology, Aurora is the goddess of the dawn, renewing herself every morning to fly across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun.

You can also see a shooting star next to the Aurora.


 

Traditionally shooting stars also meant a new birth and changes in ones life and also a wish for a better life. They can also be a symbol of reaching ones ultimate destiny.

You can refer to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login site for more details about shooting stars.


The peacock has been mentioned as well. More details can be found on Wikipedia.

In Christianity, the peacock is an ancient symbol of eternal life.The Peacock symbolism represents the "all-seeing" church, along with the holiness and sanctity associated with it. Additionally, the Peacock represents resurrection, renewal and immortality within the spiritual teachings of Christianity. Themes of renewal are also linked to alchemical traditions to, as many schools of thought compare the resurrecting phoenix to the modern-day Peacock.

Melek Taus (ملك طاووس - Kurdish Tawûsê Melek), the Peacock Angel, is the Yazidi name for the central figure of their faith. The Yazidi consider Tawûsê Melek an emanation of God and a benevolent angel who has redeemed himself from his fall and has become a demiurge who created the cosmos from the Cosmic egg. After he repented, he wept for 7,000 years, his tears filling seven jars, which then quenched the fires of hell. In art and sculpture, Tawûsê Melek is depicted as a peacock. However, peacocks are not native to the lands where Tawûsê Melek is worshipped.

Also, I found the number 23 in the left corner of the Dangerous mask.



 
There was a discussion about whether or not the cover was done in 2009. I think this is the proof that it was really completed in 2009.



 You can see the Roman numerals MMIX, which represent 2009. I'm sorry if these findings have been posted before. And sorry for the long post, too.

People look at the album cover!!!

I only realised today.

In the top right hand corner you have Michael Jackson in front of the "This is it" sign.

He is showing us the victory sign and directly underneath him is a freaky MJ pic on a tabloid burning.

Defeating the tabloids, that is  a valid reason for a hoax!!!

I was thinking that in both versions, Captain Eo's arms look too long... but maybe that's just me... In the original version, looks like he's holding the cameras... Like he's directing this... but Idk why they'd be dropped later...  :confused:
