Do you think Michael Jackson's change of skintone helped him become more "accepting"/"popular" or sell records to "white audience"?



First off, this is no shade to Michael Jackson or his skin change. I'm actually a big fan of him. This is just a conversation I had with my cousin awhile ago. I was like "When are we gonna get another Michael Jackson?" And then started joking about maybe the reason we don't have a new Michael Jackson is because of skin tone staying the same with most people.


I love Michael Jackson, R.I.P.

This is just something I thought would be great to discuss because there is a LITTLE truth to it if you think about it.

BUT, MJ was the best to ever do it. This Superbowl Halftime performance >>>>>>





What do you guys think? Did his skintone-change help?
Did the "White" MJ dominate MORE than the brown skinned MJ?







Let's discuss!

He was a beautiful dark skinned man when he released his biggest record
And the biggest record in history.

So I'd say no. I think that a combination of his insecurities and the endless amount of money he made off of the record led to his journeys under the knife

michael was never dark skin

[GLOCK]

he was a creamy brown

[Herb.]

His skin was of a dark hue. This is dark skin.
I don't believe in capuccinos, medium rare and mess.

I agree Ken.

I was thinking the same.
"Thriller" was huge and that's when he was brown skin
& that was an EPIC era

Yes he elevated himself into a creature beyond race, gender or age. He became a deity, superhuman. The look helped.

michael was never dark skin

yeah, I'd say brown skin. Not dark.

[Miranda]

To Western standards MJ was def dark.

[GLOCK]
