Can't stop wondering: why the hell did he do it in the first place/time?..Boy, look at JZ or Usher for instance = happy and in love with themselves
. MJ would look just fine without help of a butcher
Usher is definitely sexy, Jay-Z is very confident which makes him uber sexy, Michael was never unattractive until he started with the cosmetic enhancements!

Michael Jackson has delivered the ultimate snub to his former friend Sir Paul McCartney - by erasing his vocals from their 1982 hit duet The Girl Is Mine.
The reclusive King of Pop has remixed his classic album Thriller to mark the 25th anniversary of the disc, which is set for release in February. On the track, which was the first single release from Thriller, McCartney and Jackson argue over a girl.
The song hit number two in the U.S. Billboard charts and number eight in the UK charts.
A year later, the pair teamed up again for the duet Say Say Say, which appeared on McCartney's Pipes of Peace album. However on the latest version, the former Beatle's singing has been removed from The Girl Is Mine 2008.
Instead, Jackson and The Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.I.Am share McCartney's lines, according to US reports.
Jackson and McCartney famously fell out in 1985 when the Billie Jean pop star bought the Associated Television Corporation (ATV)'s back catalogue, which included the publishing rights to The Beatles' songs.
Jackson paid a reported $47.5million for between 160 and 260 Beatles classics, including Yesterday and Let It Be.
Other stars who have contributed to the remixed Thriller 25 album include Kanye West, Akon and Will.I.Am's bandmate Fergie.
Jackson is reportedly in talks to make his comeback after the album's release with a series of gigs at the O2 Arena in London in the spring.
Promoters want him to recreate his classic Thriller album on stage to mark the record's 25th anniversary. Tickets are expected to cost hundreds of pounds, as Jackson is said to be in debt to the tune of more than £165million.

The story is, it was McCartney who told Michael buying catalogs of songs is a good business move. Michael told McCartney "Maybe I'll buy your songs."McCartney thought he was joking. When it came time for McCartney to buy ack the rights, he didn't have enough money. Even when he asked Yoko to help him out, there still wasn't enough. Michael Jackson outbid him.
To add insult to injury, Michael allowed Nike to use Revolution for a commercial.
So it now becomes a rap song now?
Seriously can't stand any of those performers...I think it would be a stretch to call them singers. One is so full of himself and thinks he is the second coming next to Tom Cruise, One has no respect for women and likes to get lap dances from underage girls, the last one spells his name funny
. (these are all my opinions...don't get your panties or bvds in a bunch).Is MJ kidding! Well I suppose he needs the money but this is just beyond wrong. You don't replace vocals of a legend with people that won't be remembered 5 years from now. Freaking sell out! And don't get me started on his other "revolutions" of whoring out Beatles songs.
^ ITA! I guess he is just desperate at this point. Although I am interested to hear what this will sound like.

Unmasked: The children thought to be Paris (left) and Prince Jackson in Las Vegas
The handsome fellow following her in a Mickey Mouse cap is ten-year-old Prince Michael.
And the little imp grinning out from beneath a hoodie on the far left, despite the best efforts of his nanny to keep him hidden, is thought to be their five-yearold brother Prince Michael II - known as Blanket.
Few outside the family and their staff have seen the faces of the children. The star has gone to great lengths to conceal their appearance in public, with scarves and shawls. Had it not been for 49-year-old Jackson attempting another "incognito" outfit as the family stepped out in Las Vegas, they might have gone unnoticed
Just a peek: Blanket with his nanny
Parenthood: Michael with Debbie Rowe - the mother of his first two children - shortly after their wedding in 1996
Covered up: Paris and Prince in 2005
I saw these pictures earlier...kind of crazy that he let them out without their masks on...never really understood why he did that anyways...of course I don't understand anything that he does...he is craaaazy!
no he is a boy...i think his name is michael jr or something...prolly just never cut his hair...
No offense but he looks like something I saw in a nightmare once!
