I find it hard to believe though that he did not have a skin condition, because I have seen pictures of when he first started to turn white he had patches and blotches, his makeup artist said it was devstating for him when it started happening and now his son is starting to show signs of vitiligo.
I thought he was gorgeus back around Thriller, but I didn't think he was in recent times, like Becca said and Michael himself said 'People grow and change'. So I think it's stupid when people say he has had loads of sugerys because the shape of his face has changed, the shape of my face has changed over time too. Your face usually gets thinner as you grow.
Everyone does have their own opinion though, and I respect everyones opinion as long as it's not influenced by the press, 90% of that is proven lies. None of us can ever be sure of what happened over the years, we all have our own idea.
