- Digitally Created, this image is said to be Michael Jackson’s Final Rehearsal the night before he died.
This image has sparked a lot of controversy over the past couple of weeks. What at first appeared to be the ‘only’ image in existance that placed Michael Jackson at Rehearsals for his Concert tour the night before he died, now seems to be something very different.
Several users on this site have previously pointed out the possiblity that this image may have been ‘photoshopped’.
With theses suspicions pointed out, we here at MJHD decided to take it one step further and have the image analysed by a professional photographer.
The professional photographer who analysed this image under a microscope and also using digital editing software, unfortunately wishes to remain anonymous, however their findings are none-the-less fascinating and we would still like to share them with you.
Firstly, the most obvious problem with this photograph is the fact that the bottom part of the ‘S’ is missing from between MJ’s legs. Some people have said that that is because of the angle of where he is standing, and the ramp.
Our expert disagrees.
He analysed the width of the top of the ‘S’ and said that without a doubt, we should at least see some part of the curve of the bottom of the ‘S’ between his legs. Secondly, there should also be some kind of scaffolding or lighting between his legs, but it is completly matt black on close inspection.
Secondl, he began looking at the background as a whole, and found that it is completely digital, according to our expert. It is missing vital elements of light and dark. The shadows, are not dark enough and there is no flaring of the lights on the floor of the scaffold, or the metal scaffold itself. The only ‘lighting’ present is the bluish ‘lensflare’ that can be seen, however our expert agrees that this is a simple element that can be added with Photoshop.
Also, the light at the bottom left foreground of the shot is very rendered, which apparently, is also a tell tale sign of digital work.
When we showed our expert the ‘footage’ of Michael performing ‘They don’t really care about us’, wearing the same clothes, but with NO ‘THIS IS IT’ background, he agreed that it does look as though his image has been taken from this time (which could have been years ago judging by the hairstyle) and placed as a layer on top of this pre-designed background.
The other thing to consider is that Michael Jackson was rehearsing for his concert in the Los Angeles Staple Center. The concerts were never going to be performed here. Why then, would there need to be any kind of background at all, considering it was just rehearsals? Wouldn’t such an expensive and important background needed to be in London’s O2 Arena?
It has been noted by many Michael Jackson Fans on this site that this particular routine is the same as a routine Michael did on one of his tours years ago. We believe that this is true, and that this rehearsal footage is from that same tour…years ago. Why then is the Media ’selling’ it to us as footage from the 23rd June 2009?
We believe that for the ‘Death’ of Michael Jackson to be believeable, it’s vital for all of us to be fooled into thinking that he was rehearsing late into the night 12 hours before his death. Someone wants us to think this is where he was and this is what he was doing. According to our expert, this image could have been created at any time….which begs the question…if Michael Jackson was NOT rehearsing the night before he died in LA like we’ve all been told…then where was he?
