  3. Greg Says:

    Wow, I cannot tell you how much I actually hate this. It is quite obnoxious and hurts my eyes. I am sure that a lot of hard work was put into creating this and I applaud that effort but, sorry, overall I think it is crap.

  4. Ker Says:

    For those photographers who could not capture and produce good images, normally this is what they usually do. Just like a dish lack of ingradients, just make-dos, spoil everything for adding too much inappropriates.

    wow, cool

  6. y0k Says:

  7. Dae Says:

  10. BC Says:

    i’m not a huge MJ fan, but i like the pic

  11. FreeTraffic Says:

    Am I missing something, what is this? What’s so great about it?

  12. Rae C Says:

    I would like to thank Mr.Watson for speedcapturing Michael Jackson for his Invincible Photoshoot. Invincible was his last Studio CD to date and even though all the fans have half of the photoshoot in the CD jackets,when they go to the Brooklyn Museum in Crown Heights Brooklyn, They’ll get the full shoot. I’m going to see this very soon because I live in Brooklyn , I’ve been going to the museums several time and I know That it was almost the last place that Michael did his shoot for Ebony Magazine.and I know Michael’s spirit will be around for all his fans to enjoy what is shown at the museum at this time. Michael Jackson will be sorely missed by all his fans around the world but his legacy and gifts to the world will live on forever.

    cool images, i like this,
    Michael Jackson is the king

  14. Debra Wingrove Says:

    This does hurt my eyes and yet the energy of this image goes far beyond the eye. This is an iconic piece of art. Michael Jackson is at once the archetypal “screwed up” male and the quintessential genius human. When he left this planet he mirrored the deeply troubled soul and the new-reality “artistic prodigy”. As he exited, his “vibe” of genius was released across the planet for all of us to breathe. A gift from his soul. A tragic end to a brilliant tale.

    great star

  16. Liliella Says:

    I really love it. Not only because i love Michael. I am a Fan of Michael since the age of eight and these are one of my favorite pictures. There are other pictures, there are not this “confusing”.

  17. skull tattoo Says:

    I couldn’t believe Michael Jackson has passed away. I cannot stop listening to his amzing songs forever

  18. Nickolas Antuna Says:

    I adore Michael Jackson, he’s just awesome. I can’t believe we lost him

  19. Stevie Sayed Says:

  20. Art Tank Says:

    This is a very good article, I found your site browsing aol for a related theme and arrived to this. I couldnt find to much additional material on this blog, so it was pleasant to locate this one. I probably will be back to look at some other articles that you have another time.
