A DEEP Analysis of Michael Jackson’s Changing Skin Tone! | the detail.

Ойын-сауық

Michael Jackson's skin and its complete transformation has been a fascination as well as source of controversy for the artist even beyond his death. A subject matter that has taken almost two years for me to weld the courage and considerable knowledge needed to address and openly discuss this most polarising of issues.
In this video, we go deep into Michael Jackson's changing skin tone, the development of his disease and what treatments he used to treat, disguise or accelerate his condition.

    I personally think he should've opened up to the world about his skin condition during his 1986 award speech. I'm sure the public, especially the fans would understand. It would've been a weight off his shoulders, and it would raise awareness on Vitiligo. Something like this can be very traumatic, and you can see the sadness in his eyes during those years trying to cover it. Unfortunately he was very private and insecure, which led to the media starting rumors of their own

    It was probably too late by the late 80s as the media had already made up its mind he was a freak, so no one would have believed a word he said. After he disclosed it in '93, it wasn't until his death that the mainstream opinion shifted towards believing he had it. Perhaps there was a small window of opportunity in the early 80s, but it looks like the condition hadn't developed enough yet; and even then they would probably have written trash like "he claims to have vitiligo, but it was really just a ruse to cover up the fact he was about to turn white" or some other rubbish. You can't win against a propaganda machine that's hell bent on making you look bad. And that's beside the point that health matters are private, and one is not obliged to disclose them in public, although we can agree in this case it was a sensible and practical thing to do.

    Trust me, the public would have not been compassionate and understanding when it came to Michael. They would have done anything to destroy his reputation since they were so intimidated by his success as a black man. Even after he did admit he had a skin condition in 1993, it was not followed by kindness from the public. So his admission was definitely not a load off his back. The fans would have understood for sure. We have and will always support him. ❤️

    I remember as kids, my siblings and I sat around the tv awaiting the world premiere of Black Or White. We were surprised at how much different he looked at first (Compared to the Thriller and Bad Era), but we were happy that he was back with new music and videos and didn't focus on the lighter skin tone. (He always looked cool no matter what!) That's the way Michael wanted it to be, that we enjoyed and appreciated his talent first and foremost.

    Michael had vitiligo. It was on his autopsy report. It was listed very high up on the report which means it was readily visible to the eye. It was one of the first things noted. It was his choice on how to treat it, no one else's. It was his business, no one else's. Besides it doesn't matter what shade a person's skin is. As Michael himself said a person should be judged by the content of their character not the shade of their skin. And the content of Michael' s character was impeccable.

    Exactly, I really agree with you. Everything you wrote is just my opinion as well. It's so personal and private. This man had no privacy at all. Everybody had to tell him what to do, it's awful. Since he was a 5 year old child he only had to do what other people told him. He had no freedom of choice. And who cares? He can decide for himself what treatment he wanted or if he wanted to keep his medical records private. Why should he tell EVERYTHING to the public and that he should have justified every step in his life. Nobody does that.

    To Jean, Hannah and Lucas......I agree with all 3 of you and appreciate your comments. As a huge fan of Michael and admirer of Michael the human being, I personally get in my feelings when ppl talk poorly of him, judge him and call him names. Plastic surgeries or no plastic surgery, vitiligo, BS rumors about his character....I hate and it hurts my heart how he was in such pain emotionally and physically. He had vitiligo....I’m my mind....so what. Ppl don’t take the time to think about him being called names by his own father and those that claimed to love him hurt him by their words when the only thing he gave us other than great music....was his love. For whatever reason he chose not to share his disorder with the public, that was his business and his business alone. I don’t care if his skin was turning transparently clear like glass. Why is it such an issue? An issue then and still an issue now. Besides, who would want to share when you’re already being verbally beaten at every corner he turned. I remember the exact day he passed and where I was. At that time I was on the medical staff in a local jail. I was in a room with somewhere around 75 new arrests for the day. One man waiting to be processed yelled out “Yo yo yo......Everybody STFU....Michael is dead!!!!”. All the TVs were turned up to the max and I’ll tell you, the room literally went from men yelling, cursing out officers, etc to where you could hear a pin drop. No exaggeration. Complete silence. All you could hear was the tv. The announcement of his passing interrupted the regular program that was on. Like a severe weather advisement or a message from the President. Numerous ppl (staff and inmates) began crying, myself included. Dudes that were being combative with guards just simply stopped. Everyone was put in holding booking cells without a single disturbance. They were asked to go into the cells and every last one of them did so like “obedient children”. It was like time froze. This man was loved and adored yet was also judged, criticized, betrayed and extorted. I pray he is resting well. 🕊🙏🏽❤️💔

    Man, vitiligo is an awful thing to have. And I’m saying this from first hand experience. Covers at least 60% of my legs arms and face. My hands and feet are now 100% white. The changes began to happen about 16 years ago, and showing now signs of stopping completely(although it has slowed). Some people deal with it better than others. But I can imagine how difficult it must’ve been for MJ to go through it at a time when he was the most famous person on the planet. I can comprehend why he decided to make other changes overtime. But those decisions were made by a man not thinking with a great deal of clarity. May he rest in peace 🙏🏾

    Tbh very honest. It’s always 1985 that makes me question of whether or not he played a bigger part in turning lighter. By 87 he still was very bronze. Which means the disease didn’t progress. But I’m 85, his skin looked lightened, not make up, but skin deep lightened. Which could mean he may have bleached his skin, with the contributing vitiligo over time. Either that or he just used darker toned make up at times through Out the mid to late 80s.

    @@hannaz4617 Body dysmorphia is when you have an addiction to getting dangerous procedures. It is when you lack the mental strength to value your own health higher than your want of changing looks. For example, Michael’s nose jobs. He was never satisfied with it and kept getting revisions despite the health complications. Same goes with his abuse of prescription bleaching creams. Bleaching creams are NOT meant to be used forever. They are prescribed to help even out your skin tone. By 1991 Michael’s skin was already overall pale so when police found 28 tubes of prescription bleaching creams in his room in 2009 that is indicative he was abusing bleaching creams despite the serious health risks. None if your examples are celebrities with body dysmorphia. Getting some work done initially in your early career and regular botox / facials is not the same as continuing to jeopardize your health forever

    @@Akumaten1 You can to a certain degree. I know that Vanessa Paradis, her children, Rod Stewart, Ringo Star, Mariah Carey...... they keep their privacy and their popularity and professional life pretty separate. In Michael's case it was the false accusations, the hate, greed and jealousy that made people go into his private life. The media used every little detail to put Michael down or to do any negative reports. The media was paid by big people of the entertainment industry for any negative reports. Michael's doctor in Ireland said in an interview he was offered a 6 numbered amount of money if he would give any negative information to the press. People like Weinstein, Epstein, Geffen, they wanted to see Michael in court. On one hand he would lose so much money that he had to sell his ATV music catalog and on the other hand the sensationalism would distract the media to find out about the crimes of the real criminals. I have to say, it was sad to watch, very sad!

    He might be that but let’s keep it a buck, he worshipped whiteness. Even vitiligo aside, he changed his hair from naturally coily to straight & altered his natural nose. Invited mostly white kids to his ranch, married a white woman, later arranged for another one to legally marry & adopt him two white children who are now heirs to his estate. People can deny it all they want but the man wasn’t that proud of his roots despite what he said in interviews. A person’s actions tell you more than their words.

    He started having the patches during the thriller era , so yeah it definitely took more than 3-4 years for drastic change in skin colour, those acne creams and spf left a white base , and definately worsened the state of his skin . That redness on his face looked like he had harshly exfoliated his face probably due to acne insecurities he had , or had a terrible reaction to some product. It's sad that the vitiligo skipped one generation in his family and Michael was the only one who had the worst of it , Jermaine had on his thigh , and clearly it didn't spread that much lucky for him .

It would not surprise me if he got the Chemical peels for his acne and then that plus the emotional trauma triggered the vitiligo.

    I agree! Michael was a really handsome and attractive Black man! I love Thriller 💘 Best way to describe his pov is: he was Michael Jackson (his trauma, his individuality) with vitiligo in a race-obsessed America. Like others, he used the FDA-approved treatment as medication. That means he'd didn't "bleach" his skin because the creams were prescribed by doctors that diagnosed & treated his vitiligo (and Lupus). All of this has been verified many times over, with candid/private pictures & even at his death. You also have to put the time period into perspective & all of the race obstacles that he triumphantly overcame. Michael didn't have the best relationship with his family & he was private. He may have had substance abuse issues but he was human & trusted people that didn't always have the best intentions! None of us know him personally but one thing's for sure is it was his skin, his body & life ultimately. This video did a good job but it glossed over Michael's experience of being Black. If you really did your research you'd see that his transformation wasn't until 20 years after his diagnosis in the 1980's and he still had patches of brown skin. A lot of people simply take pleasure in mocking the "irony" and projecting their insecurities & racism. Overall, Michael is king ✨🎶

    I grew up in the 80s on Michael Jackson and didn’t know anything about plastic surgery, vitiligo etc…. I just remember when the bad album came out and saw his pic on that album. We were all like “wow, what happened to Michael?” As late as 1989 and 1990, I remember Bad concert footages where he looked just like Thriller and Off the Wall MJ after he sweated off the makeup or whatever he had on - and there were no pale spots anywhere. His face structure was changing though with his plastic surgeries (chin implants, nose etc) But he def did something in the early 90s that permanently changed his pigmentation. I think he was a troubled man with self image issues vitiligo or not. I was an obsessed young MJ fan and probably too young to comprehend whatever was going on. The greatest performer ever anyway.

    2:06 the picture in the right was edited by myself back in 2018, I explained I did that with the purpose of explaining how his vitiligo would look like if he had no makeup on. So it was already known it is an edited picture, and not meant to be used as a real one, but many fans did, that's why you said it was "debunked".

    It's crap. The detail is a hater channel the secretly trying to implant the same old false narratives about Michael into fans heads. He knows good and damn well that Michael's cheeks look like a molar rash. He knows what he's doing. Its actually a very old hater tactic to try and push the idea that Michael somehow induced his vitiligo, which is stupid because something always triggers vitiligo in a person, so its just another clever way for them to demonize his and accuse him of trying to turn himself white.

    Honestly, I didn't think he was being truthful about the vitiligo until I saw the They Don't Care About Us video based in Brazil. That's when I noticed the patches on his arm. Also years later, I saw a home video where he was dancing outside. It looked like it was between the Thriller & Bad era because his skin was brown, but he had white patches on his hands.

    Wait I find your explanation about Thriller era so fascinating and eye-opening. He wasn’t trying to be lighter with lightening products, he was going too far with acne scarring treatments. Just like how he went too far with his nose, he didn’t know how to stop. Because in the 70s he was obsessed with both his acne and his nose from being made fun of. This makes so much sense. But I’m just confused on when exactly the struggle went from wanting an even complexion to battling vitiligo. I thought for the longest time that he battled vitiligo since the Off the wall era based on some photos that I know now were just perceived the wrong way by the fan community. I then realized that and the fact that he wasn’t actually diagnosed with vitiligo until 1986. Is it possible the acne scarring treatments induced a more vicious spreading of vitiligo when he probably only had a few spots on his body originally? I do know there are photos of him with almost unnoticeable vitiligo on his fingertips as a child and I do know that oddly enough it’s usually the groin area where people have the most vitiligo. That might’ve been the extent for him all his life up until 1986 when he realized it was a serious condition that was spreading and needed evaluating. Which once again not sure if it was aging or was he inducing it? Either way he started out always having a small amount of vitiligo and it’s just so amazing how he was able to lighten his skin so much BECAUSE those products work best on people with vitiligo. Without vitiligo he wouldn’t have been able to become the pale shade that he became. He was evening out his scars which in turn made him lighter than it would for the average black man because he had the underlying condition vitiligo (I’m kind of repeating myself at this point but I’m just trying to understand this fully). So it seems for the most part wasn’t even intended, right? I don’t know I think he only desired an even complexion and he thought getting lighter helped, and he ended up just making his vitiligo condition look worse. It’s really unfortunate. He went from obsessively(!) evening out his acne scars to obsessively evening out vitiligo. That’s the conclusion to me. This video just changed my ENTIRE perspective about his vitiligo, acne, and lupus and I’ve been a fan all my life.

    Com certeza durante os primeiros anos do vitiligo a pele dele devia voltar ao "normal" retomando a cor e depois clareando novamente, acho que com o tempo as manchas avançaram e acabou sendo muito mais fácil assumir o tom mais pálido, Michael sempre cobria o corpo o máximo que podia, sempre usando chapéu, óculos, maquiagem, é muito triste que ainda hoje as pessoas ainda continuem a fazer piadas com a aparência dele, ele fez o que podia para lidar com o vitiligo e o lupus, isso só me faz o admirar ainda mais.

    I only wish we can begin to tell everyone in our circles that we love and accept them the way they look! MJ could have had a better self esteem if he heard those words of acceptance over and over and over again! I'm in my late 40s and grew up hearing about MJ even in Nigeria. I never really listened to his songs but of course they were regularly aired on many of our radio and television channels and I remembered well the day I noticed his skin colour change, I was somehow irritated. But recently as an adult, I stumbled on his bio on KZread and I literally wept: because of how much he was misunderstood and because he's no longer here by the time the world got to understand his condition. I wish he was here to hear some of the good things people say about him just because they had a better knowledge of his secret pains. Two things: 1. Don't die in silence and don't live for people. Accept who you are, no matter what. 2. Love genuinely and accept people irrespective of what they look like and ensure you regularly verbalise your acceptance of them. Cheers!

    My older sis has vitiligo and lupus. My mom found a patch on her eye when she was 12. No one could figure this out and this was the damn 80's. She wasn't diagnosed with Lupus until 1998 after my nephew's death. Hers is noticeable, but my sister is lighter in skin tone than both Winnie and Michael. No matter how you want to see it, no one understands something like vitiligo and Lupus. He was treated like a freak by the media. Why would he want to tell them the truth when he did and they still didn't believe him. I don't blame him. He didn't have to hate himself. With the world and his father constantly being on his case about his looks, vitiligo and the debilitating disease that Lupus is, were not a help for someone with a deeply scared mental view of himself. No one needs to fess up about anything. I was young when his skin was fully white and I never said anything and I was born in 96. It could be bc of my sister, but I was never interested in his looks as much as his music and the videos. He was still a black man to me. The same thing he told people many of times and they still thought this man wanted to be white. So I don't blame him at all. They wouldn't listen then, why keep repeating yourself?
