Also, this just shows that "bad publicity is better than no publicity at all" isn't always the best way to go about. It did work, but at an immense cost (accusations of internalized racism thrown at Michael, as well as an album cover that looked unrealistically perfect) that still has an impact today.Honestly I think it was Michael/his team trying to generate headlines and a talking point.

You've got to be joking.are u from the hating media? the first photo seems manipulated.
Also, fans have disliked the touched up version of the Bad album cover for AGES. This is not something most of us just decided to criticize out of nowhere. Especially consider this statement here:i never heart from a fan that we have a problem with the album cover.
It has been said that the 'BAD' album cover (with his lighter skin via photoshop) at that time alienated many of his black fans who in turn decided to not buy the album because of that.
Also, I find this funny coming from someone who justs posts nothing but the poop emoji on some threads for no reason at all.this thread is such a pointless waste of time. ^^
It is. The head is taken from this outtake, slapped onto the cover-body and skin colour altered.the first photo seems manipulated.

The first one is NOT how the untouched photos look like at all.
This also isn't accurate to his skin tone either. This was shot during the Bad Short Film and he was pretty light there.It is. The head is taken from this outtake, slapped onto the cover-body and skin colour altered.

The photo was taken using a flash which makes everybody look paler and the short film is colour graded. Not an accurate reference for colours.This also isn't accurate to his skin tone either. This was shot during the Bad Short Film and he was pretty light there.
He's clearly a lot closer to having Caucasian skin tone than having a black skin tone.
Hell, you could watch the short film to see that.
and who says that didn't affect the photoshoot or any of the photos you posted? I'm aware of all this, that's why I'm talking about MJ's skin tone compared to other people beside him.Camera settings (ISO, shutter speed) and lighting (subway/underground vs photo studio lights vs daylight) also make a huge difference. And make-up.
Oh my God! I can't thank you enough!It is. The head is taken from this outtake, slapped onto the cover-body and skin colour altered.
