I noticed that too Nick and obviously we have the O2 conference on the right hand side - another red curtain.  There's so much here I think we'll be deciphering it for a long time to come! ;)

I just checked Kadir Nelson's website again, now it's mentioned in the What's New section but when you click it you're redirected to michaeljackson.com which has as it's background the Immortal Cirque du Soleil artwork!  Why isn't Kadir himself saying anything about this work? (Confidentiality agreement?).  Considering it's being discussed all over the place he doesn't seem too keen on promoting himself or capitalising on all the interest in him.

Why is Naomi important in his life? There was never anything between them- relationship, friendship, nothing. She just appeared in a video. Why is she there for me it's a mystery

The brothers of Michael, Diana Ross, James Brown, the other not, and Prince .... a riddle? 8-)

The artist's website lists this painting under "Commissions - Advertising"

http://www.kadirnelson.com/Advertising.html (http://www.kadirnelson.com/Advertising.html)

Did we know this was a painting commissioned by SONY?

I just thought it was a painting done after June 25, 2009 - and that a decision was made to use it for the album cover...

I see a difference.  Look at the camera to the right of Michael as you look at it.  It's bigger on the second version.  And Michael with his arms out-stretched to the right, also looks different as his arms aren't raised as high on the first on.

It could well be, at first I thought golden dagger but I think your idea is better! ;) The area to the right of that really intrigues me, the picture's a bit grainy but there are things in flames, including what looks like money/articles with MJ on it, I'd love to know who the people are protected by the angel wings too.  The This Is It section speaks to me, the silhouette behind O2 MJ might represent the double as it's in shadow, and the O2 MJ is contained within it and I think many of us think that was indeed a double at the press conference.  The way the silhouette's arm is pointing at the golden MJ statue seems significant.  I also noticed the MLK differences others noticed.  Something very weird is going on (as if we didn't know). :shock:

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before but I think part of the Bahrain skyline is on the Michael album cover.

If you go to this link (which Bec originally provided in the 7's on the album cover thread):
http://www.showbiz411.com/wp/wp-content ... mural3.jpg (http://www.showbiz411.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/mural3.jpg)  you can zoom in to the far right side of the cover, beside the tree, in between the flames and see the outline of two buildings which looks very much like these buildings in Bahrain:

(http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTTlJ5ZDsc7yrEHI2WOsYLQjswZ7oYFDO5UOE2cBRpgbx0S2ZFo)

It's very interesting how much there is actually to see on this album cover once you zoom in.  There are clues all over it.

If they counted Joh'Vonnie, there would be 4 girls. But there is just rebbie, latoya and janet. So who's the 7th boy pictured? Brandon? How sick would that be as he died at birth....?

Because we've discussed the tenth child in another thread. And i believe the character on Marlon's left with a halo around his head, is Brandon.

this album is the most detailed and symbolic yet confusing album cover i have ever seen in my  life. it is too Michael Jackson for it to be just a graphic artist who designed this. clearly Michael was sitting there when this cover art was being made. it's impossible for that not to happen. does anybody have an idea when this album cover was made? it is just typical Michael and fantastic. wow and i thought the Dangerous cover was complicated :shock: . i love it anyways! :D

Guys, I was doing some researched while looking at the beautiful artwork that was done for the album. I think someone on this forum, it was stated that Tatum O'Neal was by Katherine.  The lady next to Katherine is Jane Fonda. And yes Michael met her in the 1970's and they are friends. And you know that she is linked to Ted Turner(TV Mogul). Tatum is at the bottom underneath Janet Jackson. Also is you would take a look to the right of Janet, it looks like her hair is covering the face of someone. If I am not mistaken that profile belong to no other than Mac. And to the far right of the artwork, you will see I guess you can call it The Tree of Life. Do you guess remembered that it was stated that Michael grew up as a Jehovah Witness, well it was stated that in the beginning that there was a tree, The Three of Good and Bad and Eve was seduced by the serpent in the tree.  If you look very closely you will see the serpent(snake) in the tree. Guys we should also examine very closely the left side of the artwork as well. If you notice, it shows Quincy Jones, O'Jays, Smokey Robinson, Berry Gordon, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Sammy Davis Jr, James Brown and many more Motown Family. I think that there are a couple more influential people that is in this artwork.  I think that we should try and get the names of all the people that are show in this artwork.  Right up at the top of the Motown Family, there are couple of people that many be influential in the history of the world. The faces look very familiar but cannot place the names.  I know some of you guys are very dam good researchers and will find out who they are.

Guys, I was doing some researched while looking at the beautiful artwork that was done for the album. I think someone on this forum, it was stated that Tatum O'Neal was by Katherine.  The lady next to Katherine is Jane Fonda. And yes Michael met her in the 1970's and they are friends. And you know that she is linked to Ted Turner(TV Mogul). Tatum is at the bottom underneath Janet Jackson. Also is you would take a look to the right of Janet, it looks like her hair is covering the face of someone. If I am not mistaken that profile belong to no other than Mac.

Next to Sammy Davis Jr, from right to left i see: bob Jones, Kenny ortega, one unknown guy....then PT Barnum, then as said above teddy Riley, then again i don't know, then Frank Dileo (profile) and underneath John Branca and next to him with sunglasses could be Eddie murphy (whose face btw is also featured next to the newspaper on the dangerous mask on the right side of the cover)

hope that helped....

I just noticed a belt is surrounding the pic of Katherine and Joseph....but that was certainly discussed b4

I still dont get how this pic is signed and dated MMIX (2009) with the cirque du soleil logo on it.....

I believe that's PT Barnum...

Thanks for the info on PT Barnum....for some reason I was thinking he was another character on the page.

Doesn't it look like it says "E-Bay" in Moe's hair? (I think that was his name...the one on the left.)  It looks like there are other letters/numbers in addition to the word E-Bay as well. Anyone else see it?

I still don't understand why the crown isn't on MJ's head.  Why does it look as if the crown is about to be placed or is being removed?  Michael Jackson will forever be the undisputed King of Pop and why that is not clearly depicted is baffling to me. I know that in whatever the promo is where all the pieces in the mural move, the crown is then placed, but those moving pieces aren't the images we're saturated with. We're focused and most familiar with the still image of the cover.   MJ earned that crown, dammit.  I'm very disturbed by this.  Does anyone have any idea why his crown is situated this way?   :x

I imagined it to be the re-crowning of the King. He's coming back to reclaim what's his. The center picture looks kind of sinister, and I say that with the utmost respect of course. He's claiming his crown and putting his foot down.

Well that's just my interpretation, of course.  :)

@backstager: thanks.  That's a good interpretation, which I can work with.   And, it would have to be something like this to even consider the image used for the album cover.  If true, Michael is in control and directed the cover as he did the artwork for Dangerous. Therefore, it signals to me that Sony does not have the final word and they will not be a part of Michael's future work. That gives this entire project a different meaning to me.

Yes, it very well could imply the recrowning of the king (which I tend to personally believe).....but I also think it is portrayed in this fashion (elevated in the air) to first and foremost emhasize "Michael" the man, as stressed in the simplicity of the album title "Michael".

P.S. I love you, Michael! Thanks for another compilation of heartfelt work that touches my soul and makes my heart sing!!!!

I agree with you. Perhaps he now wishes to be known just as "Michael" not Michael Jackson

I also LOVE the album, it is a gift to us.

i adore the album cover its so Michael - beautiful and heartfelt. Micheal  had to have had a say in the album cover for sure. The central Micheal image has a definitely Mona Lisa effect going on - the eyes follow you around the room.He's watching us...

Hi SoldierofLOVE! Here is a video of the artist that created the album cover saying that Michael  is being crowned by two cupids. He doesn't go into detail about being re-crowned or anything, but he is definitely not being de-throned. The video is only 1 minute long if you want to check it out. I think it may just be depicting the moment in time that he became the King Of Pop?

Great vid on the album art...
This is the second one I've seen and yes Michael is BEING CROWNED in both.
What get's me is why the difference in the Album Cover Art concerning the important women in his life... @ 0.34 - 0:43
Oprah, MaDonna, & Liz among others are shown in the video but REMOVED on the Album version.  :shock:   OK I get MaDonna & Oprah... :lol: But why is Liz removed  :cry: and Dianna Ross moved to another area?  Who the heck is that blond?! DR?!  GAG.

I too was wondering why Liz wasn't on the cover, after all her and Mike were so close. Maybe she objected or she didn't give permission for her image to be used on the album cover??? .Is Karen Faye on the cover - i haven't looked that close yet - lol?

The woman who is thought to be Jane Fonda, might be Suzanne DePasse, when she was young.  I didn't see her anywhere else. Did anyone?

That's from the Ghosts video Bianca it was on the cover if I remember right.

Yes I know it's the ghosts cover, but it really doesn't look the same to me. Look at the lips, nose, cheeks....really looks like oprah to me.

You're right...that doesn't look quite the same; it does look like Ms O.
Seeing "Ghosts" Oprah?  :lol:  "Threatened?"

Aphrodite Jones wrote in her newest blog that there were several women who had been approached to be included in the  cover and turned it down: Liz Taylor, Madonna, Oprah, and Debbie Rowe.
