I think it had to do with the strange hair style at MSG.
He looks great with curly permed hair long or short.The curly hair makes him look much younger, and This Is It proved that. There were parts of This Is It where he looked similar to how he looked in the Dangerous/HIStory era
I donot think it was the hair. he has had that kind of short hair even at the MTV in 1995 show and even in the past.

I wonder why MJ agreed to do a performance with his brothers, because he would always avoid a Jackson's reunion like the plague.
Hahahaha. Michael did his best. i think he was just tired or the stage was too small. they needed a bigger stage that stage were crowded.
His tiredness, dizziness, blankness of his expression, etc, were all a result of him being fully drugged up right before those two MSG shows. We also have reliable accounts which confirm that.

I knew it was something. These types of painkillers do each person different. I had surgery this year and had to take hydrocodone which I hate to take and even bare pain not to take unless it is really bad. just one pill makes me sleepy all day. Tremadol makes my mom talk silly after using it for two days for pain. So I can see what David is saying can be true. even walking with Liz, MJ did not seem to be himself. His eyes were sleepy.mj_frenzy;4259347 said:On Demerol, for example, which falls into the category of the opioid drugs.
Here is what David Gest revealed:
“… He [MJ] had promised to be in the audience for the first part of the show, which began at 8pm, to watch other artists pay tribute to him, but 8pm came and went and no Michael. It turned 8.15, still no Michael. By 8.20 I was going crazy… I sent an assistant to his hotel room and he was in bed. The assistant called me to say he was unconscious and I said just get him up, get him here. He got him up and Michael told him he’d taken Demerol, a painkiller… I screamed at him to get to the stadium, whatever state he was in. He turned up looking totally off his head … (David Gest, The Mail On Sunday)
David Gest was a long-time, close friend of MJ, but also the one who staged those two MSG shows in 2001.
Was it ever confirmed if he had a botox shot or something? I've been sorting some photos on my computer lately, and I've been wondering what happened to the lip. Sorry, I understand if some people don't want to talk about MJ's face over and over again. It's just kinda sad and I've never seen a proper answer to this.the show was edited. But I love parts. I loved the Luther/Usher and those 5 background guys as someone put it. I loved the into. I loved the intro of the MJ and his brothers and TWMMF, of course the end with the hat/glove for Billie Jean and Chris. I did see parts where MJ was not his best (even at the VMA before the show when Nsync brought him out. he did ok but MJ usually have those step on lock and solid). Also, MJ looked like he had a botox shot over his top lip. Glad it wore off. In 2003 at the BET AWARD with James Brown. MJ LOOKED GOOD and healthy. I remember everyone was talking how handsome/goodlooking/best dressed he was on that show to give James Brown the honor even his critics had to say That is MICHAEL JACKSON.
No it was never confirmed but that is what it looks like when people get botox around that area. Notice MJ could barley smile un til later. Botox wear off from 6 to 8 months or longer. At the BET 2003 show, it wore off. thank goodness.Was it ever confirmed if he had a botox shot or something?

He looked good on the Ebony cover 2007. It he may not have done anything to his nose. U will be amaze that even something doing small things to other parts of your face will chance things especially when u are of ethnic. It could have been just botox not so much anything else was done to his nose.Yeah, it's great that he started to look much better and became healthier during that time. Bambi Awards in late 2002 too. I don't know what it was, but something helpful was done to get his nose back to normal after 2001. 2001-2 seems to be a mystery.
The 2006 WMA's and Japan MTV VMA's are some of my favorite 2000's MJ appearances. I mean he looked great and was rarely seen in public without sunglasses on. I love the L'Uomo Vogue photoshoot from 2007. I don't get why they had the photoshop Michael's face/nose for the Ebony Magazine. I've seen the original pictures.
Ebony was good too of course, but I was just thinking that he didn't need to be photoshopped at all.He looked good on the Ebony cover 2007. It he may not have done anything to his nose.

He was only 43 at the time of the MSG concert. Hardly old. He did look older than his age at the time though I agree. It wasn't a good time for him appearance wise. He looked much better and younger just a few years later.
Something was very off with him in 2001 though.
I had no idea about that. Explains why YRMW was shot that way. Smh Thats just beyond rude and disrespectful.mj_frenzy;4259452 said:It was also a particular incident (concerning the shooting of the ‘You Rock My World’ music video) that upset him greatly at that time.
It took place few months before the MSG shows (summer of 2001), when the team that was about to make that music video demanded that MJ had to make specific cosmetic changes on his face (through make up) in order to look good on that video.
They wanted, among other things, to put putty on his nose (which is a make up product filler for that area), but also to use make up in order to darken his skin.
When MJ learned about those demands, he became so upset that he locked himself in the bathroom crying & refusing to get out, while he was throwing various things in there.
He thought that the team saw him as an ugly man, & that caused him an additional, enormous psychological trauma.
So big was that psychological trauma that in the music video (while singing & dancing) he was persistently trying to hide his face.
That psychological trauma (caused by those team’s demands for that music video) continued to have a very bad effect on him even during those two MSG shows in September.
I remember hearing that story about Mj being on something before those concerts. Wasnt sure if it was true. You can tell something was off though.
