A Youthful Papa Joe

[Good Lets Dance]

Do you see any resemblance to MJ? In the "You Rock My World" Video at t he end when the place catches on fire, you see a photo of young Joe burning up in the flames. It's very similar to this photo....[attachment=0]JoeJackson.jpg

the nose?

Not the nose to me; to me it's the mouth more than anything!

Amazing resemblance!! Good find.

[hope]

For someone that used to tease Michael about his nose, Papa Joes sure wasnt little.  :lol:

The smile is very much like Michael and the nose
Papa Joe was a striking young man that's all his sons are And to me Tito favors Joe more than any of them lools and Titos son TJ looks like him also I think its the eyebrows But yes yes Michael favors his father

Yes I can definitely see Michael in his father as a young man.  MJ got his father's mouth, chin and jawline, nose, ears, distance between eyes.  I don't understand why Joe made rude comments to him because apparently he took after him with alot of his features except for the blue eyes/green eyes.  Whatever color his eyes are.  Marlon got his dad's eyes.  I guess Tito favor him the most though.  MJ was better looking than his daddy though at a young age.  Sometimes I wonder if he said those hurtlful things to MJ because he was mad and jealous of his son's success.  Joe had a band at one time and he didn't go big but I think he lived his dream through his sons.  Since his sons became so popular I think he may have used the verbal attacks as a way of remaining in control because he realize that MJ was so talented.  I'm sure he knew one day that he would go off on his own without his guidance.  At least Michael said their relationship got better in recent years that's good.

Sorry for saying it, but I can't believe Joe turned out to be that ugly later on. Seems like his personality deformed his face.

I know Michael hated it, but he looks alot like his dad

The mouth is VERY like Michaels. And Janets.

Yes I see some resemblance with the mouth and chin as well. It looks exactly the same.

I agree!  Both Janet and MJ have that mouth.  MJ got the wide spaced eyes from his father...(although not as wide) and everything else from his mother...I can see Joe's chin in MJ as well and Joe's nose here does look like MJ's as an adolescent.
