This sounds very untrue.

That's a reach. His video thing gave her the idea for the military dance moves/theme, not the entire album or any of the music. And he didn't "give" her that, either.

And no, Michael Jackson did not give Janet the idea for Rhythm Nation album, only the video and theme (His military garb + Captain EO choreo). But obviously he was a big influence on her life and MJ had already done several socially conscious records. I think Janet was inspired by some of the songs and sounds off "Bad", like Dirty Diana and Man in the Mirror. Your older siblings always influence you in some way. But she inspired him a lot too. The Dangerous album being the most obvious example.

I love how he said michael stole babyface when Michael was working with Teddy Riley in the late 80's and the ONLY time Michael worked with Babyface was in 1995.

This guy begging for a lawsuit


*Waits for Janet to clock him*

Well the way she tells it, she asked, and he allowed it.

Regardless of what, Michael's biggest competition was himself. None of the other brothers could touch him, with or without sabotage.

Didnt Michael try to take jimmy & terry from Janet during the Janet. Era? This is pointless of course cause Michael is a soft spoken angel who could do no wrong. ,kl

You're just making **** up now..

During the Janet. era Michael was touring the world and facing the allegations. He didn't start working on his next album until late 1994 and if you can remember, Janet was on that album.

Both doctors who did MJs autopsies (yes, there were two autopsies) independently stated that there were clearly visible vitiligo marks on his body, especially legs even after so much bleaching treatment he received to mask it. Believe me, vitiligo marks are easily recognizable and MJ was dead, so why would they lie about them?

Doctors dont know how to bring back pigment yet, they only know how to bleach skin. Bleaching is usually recommended to people who suffer from vitiligo when more than 30% of their skin is affected.

Yes, MJ was not happy with the way he looked, its clear when you look at his pics through the years, but he didnt lie about vitiligo. I bet that disease was just one more complex he had, so he tried to solve it drastically.

If I were in that condition, like someone here already said, I would undero it too instead of buying expensive make up and spending hours in bathroom before leaving my house every ******* day, especially if I were interesting subject for paparazzi... not to mention that skin diseases always have terrible effect on private live and love relationships, so its understandable why people are choosing bleaching... This world is shallow, you know, the look is very important for a popstar, so I dont blame him.

I agree that he was most likely addicted to plastic surgery tho.

You're a huge MJ fan so you MUST automatically be right over someone who has been in the industry for decades and actually knows the artists.

Your forum name ends in 97 that would maybe tell me you're 16-yrs old. Either way, I'd rather trust someone who is in the industry than a huge MJ fan.

I'm not making anything up. It was before she recorded the Janet album after the success of control.

That's a large gap... 1988? 1989? 1990 or 1991? Are you talking about the Rhythm Nation era? Michael was working with Teddy Riley and Bill Bottrell on Dangerous He didn't start working with them until 1994.

He's an interview with Jimmy and Terry talking about MJ. He never approached them before 1994.

Clive Davis never ever worked with MJ. All the tea about MJ's business and family was spilled back in 2009-2010 by people that actually knew him, including all the producers that were lucky enough to work with him. The rest was written in tell all books by ex-wives. None of this **** is true.

I'm not a doctor but I could imagine that when you bleach your skin that the effect isn't consistent and some different marks are there.

And like you said he may had some impurities and he called it vitilligo but it seems his method was a little drastic.

Like the brother in his song said, it seems more a mental thing than a disease (OK Vitiligo is often a mental disease)

Vitiligo is not a mental disease, it's an autoimmune disease... (Apparently Michael also suffered from Lupus, which several people have mentioned and he could have been in remission for. If you look up pictures of him in the 80's, he had the butterfly rash associated with Lupus. It's also an autoimmune disease) Vitiligo is also hereditary.

This isn't something he just came up with, i'm pretty sure he had several doctors advise him. He tried to hide it for most of the 80's. Even up til Bad he was still using "darker" make-up to hide it. Even in the "Black or White" videos, his hands were still brown.

He was not the only one who's suffered from this condition and there are plenty of examples on the internet of people who turned completely white. They all had medical help to get there (creams), because once it gets that extreme there's no turning back.

Anyway, it was confirmed by doctors, while he was alive and dead. There's no point to this conversation.

But who knows what to believe now that Clive Davis has been exposed as a liar?

Hmm...is that why he told Kelly that she couldn't put out Because of You on her album?
