Hey guys,
I've read through all your responses, the good and the bad, and I didn't post these photos to upset anyone!! I'm very sorry if you some of you are upset...
As I said before: Obviously, nobody can replace Michael and that is not this guy's goal. He calls himself a "Michael Jackson tribute artist" and he has actually met Michael in person.
Carlo Riley is different from all the other impersonators because
he hasn't had any plastic surgery at all.
Here's an excerpt from his website:
"Carlo Riley, a second generation Michael Jackson fan, has followed Michael Jacksons career since childhood. He began to emulate the star at the age of 5, displaying an incredible natural ability to perform MJ's signature moves. These days, Carlo has taken his love of Michael Jackson to the highest level.
Carlo, the same height and similar physique as the real Michael Jackson, utilizes these attributes in conjunction with Makeup, costume reproductions and Michael Jackson attitude to create an exciting show that THRILLS crowds of young and old alike."
I agree that there are plenty of impersonators that have gone way too far, don't resemble MJ at all and really just make damn fools of themselves...but this guy actually naturally looks like him. Honestly, I'm not too big on impersonators myself, but Carlo's resemblance to MJ is closer than any other look-alike I've personally seen on the internet.
By the way,
he is Portuguese. His features (nose, jawline, eyes, etc.) are all natural.
Here are some normal pictures of him not emulating MJ:
As you can see, he is a very normal looking man that just happens to share many features with Michael...especially the eyes.
Nobody can replace Michael. Emulation is the sincerest form of flattery.
