The 'Those EYES' Thread

Oh girl I literally feel that 😲
But this….

And there it is. Michael as a baby deer. Beautiful, gentle eyes asking for love, protection, understanding, adoration, wonder, awe ...

Yes, Michael, you can have it all.

(P.S. Other interpretations of this photo are available. :D )
 
the way he looks into the soul 🄰
That's it. That is IT. You've nailed it. It's the invitation to look into his soul just as he looks into yours. It is that two-way thing. I think that is part of where the compelling aspect of all this comes from. I'm sure there's more to it but I think that is the key thing that is going on here. Because it goes beyond beautiful eyes. Lots of people have beautiful eyes but they are not necessarily compelling in this way. There isn't necessarily much depth. With Michael it's all about the depth, it's all about falling into some sort of journey into his eyes, into his soul and then somehow back into your own soul.
 
As a side note, I wonder how much of this is how his eyes actually look vs. the aura he was said to have. His eyes were incredibly beautiful and deep, but I often wonder how much more we would feel if we were to meet him in person.
Have you listened to Talitha Linehan's interviews? There's a few out there.

I think this is an interesting point because looking at photos of Michael and particularly looking at his eyes there seems to be an awful lot going on. We are not in his presence but the effect he has on us is profound. It isn't simply a case of saying, 'oh, there's a gorgeous guy with lovely eyes'. It's way more than that. Obviously, Michael can communicate everything through his art but he can also do it through a mere photo. So what does that suggest about how powerful his aura must have been in person? A successful performing artist like Michael has loads of charisma. That's a given. But this goes way beyond charisma, I think.

I mean, if I met Michael I'd just want to talk about his archives. Obvs.
 
Mm, this qualifies for 'Those Eyes' and 'Rare Pics' - especially as the rare ones usually aren't rare, lol.

This is lovely. And, see, this is one that *does* make me feel protective. It's that awful tension between finding him to be ridiculously beautiful and mesmerising to look at but, also, so very endearing and almost vulnerable. It's not that, irl, I would be able to help or protect Michael. I'm not deluded. But, somehow, when I see certain images of him I just feel so protective. And emotional. But helpless, as well. Weird mixture.

I'm guessing RTT era? Since that was dominating the conversation a while back.

Beautiful. ā¤ļø

It absolutely does, this one exactly does make us feel protective, absolutely beautiful indeed ā¤ļø

Yes ma'am it sure is! 🄰
 
This is lovely. Soulful eyes.

Ugh I know. His eyes are just something else entirely. I stumbled upon a few other pictures during my daily Twitter exploration of Michael content and wanted to share them as well…



His eyes just slay me. Yesterday, it was his smile. Today it’s his eyes. Wow. There are so many beautiful people with beautiful eyes, but I’ve found in life that I don’t get that feeling from everyone. Lots of people I don’t really see much when I look in their eyes. But there are a select few I have met and seen whose eyes translate something to me. That make me feel like I’m actually looking directly into their heart. Even though I never met him, Michael is definitely one of those people whose eyes tell a story, even if I don’t know always know how to read it.

Michael and his costumes never does it for me. But his eyes in this photo ... I can't resist. Apart from the beauty of his eyes, even just the shape of them, omg. Perfectly shown here as the photo is taken from the perfect angle.

Just 🄰 ā¤ļø šŸ’

not to mention, not many people can do that wearing yellow jacket and bowtie 🄰
FOR REAL!! I feel that way about a good chunk of his clothing. It’s sexy and stylish because he makes it that way. On the average person I’d think nothing.

I was thinking about this yesterday while at the park. All these random people and none of them look like Michael lol. What j mean by that is he was just excessively attractive. And I was trying to hone in on why, like what sets him so far apart from every other person lol and so I was imagining his appearance through every stage of his life. Childhood foreword. And I realized (to no shock or surprise to anyone) that it really is truly because of his eyes and his smile. Both were positively magical. Like, not just because they were objectively perfect, but because there is a light in both of them that just doesn’t feel like something you ever see in other people. Sometimes he looks like he is glowing and it’s coming from his eyes and smile. I’ve never seen anything like it.

haa haa, I do the same sometimes, trying to figure out what is it about Michael that I find his long hair, make up and whole persona so sexy. Its probably impossible to isolate the what or why. Its his whole charisma, the image he built and his personality which can be best described as magnetic.

Totally agree! Michael has opened my mind a lot. I was never into longer hair or makeup on men EVER. I’m still not ā€œintoā€ it now, but on Michael? oh yes! I was never even into curly hair before him, if you can believe that! I was basically indifferent to it. Now I can’t even fathom a world in which I am indifferent to curls lol. I’m still not always 100% about the makeup (even if I think he looks great). But sometimes I totally love it and find it so sexy.

I think you’re right. His personality is magnetic and charisma is just… godly. So I think the draw to him will always be that beyond any physical attribute. But man, the physical attributes are spectacular!

haa haa, same here. Sometimes during HIStory you can see him going low on eye makeup and lipstick. And its like, hmm, that's interesting, why did he not do that often. And sometimes he is all made up with thick eye liner and it stops me for a minute.

I totally agree! I think in general I do prefer his less made up looks, because the natural beauty of his eyes and sexiness of his mouth can be a little overtaken. Again, he looks great and wears all of it well. But for my preferences I tend to like a little less. I will say though, I think the lipstick throws me more than the eye makeup, whenever it does throw me.

If nothing else though, I just love the variety of looks he served. He pulled all of them off well and looked fabulous.
