Almost Every Single Easter Egg on the cover art for Michael (2010) | TheMarioThomasGuy

#michaeljackson #mj #posthumous
In 2010, Michael was released to controversy from fans and critics alike. The cover, painted by Kadir Nelson, is packed with Easter eggs, and today, I’ll be covering (almost) all of them.

Thank you very much

A few things I noticed:
- The line of women (near Janet Jackson) I think are special women to Michael; (Katherine, his mother/Karen Faye(?), makeup artist/Brooke Shields, close friend/Lisa Marie Presley, former wife/Princess Diana, close friend/Naomi Campbell, advocate, love interest in the “In The Closet” video/Liza Minnelli, inspiration(?), daughter of Judy Garland/Janet Jackson, sister/ and idk who that last woman is lmao
- Are those buildings under the “This Is It” side the burning twin towers? 🥺 (and a possible reference to the fact that if he hadn’t stayed up talking to his mother on the phone the night before, he would’ve had attended a meeting in the World Trade Center on 9/11?)
- I believe the moon landing is a reference to MTV, and the fact that after Billie Jean and Beat It’s music videos aired, MTV no longer denied black artists from having their music in heavy rotation
- Down at the bottom of the right hand side are his children, Paris, Blanket and Prince (as shown at Michael’s funeral) 🖤
