Now we all know that Joe Jackson made absurd remarks at the BET Awards, such as advertising Ranch Records – his new project. Remember that these awards took place days after the so called death of Michael Jackson, and Joe Jackson really seemed unmoved. It has been reported that 30 minutes prior to launch of the ceremonies, Joe Jackson arrived without tickets and threw everyone into a frenzy as seating had to be adjusted.
Thats the backdrop of what happened, but in the picture below, something caught my eye.

Michael Jackson Double http://michaeljacksonnotdead.wordpress.com
Lets Zoom in:

Michael Jackson Double at BET Awards http://michaeljacksonnotdead.wordpress.com
Can you believe that? I find this to be shocking.
Lets look at another picture from the BET Awards.

Micheal Jackson Double At BET Awards - michaeljacksonnotdead.wordpress.com
I certainly don’t believe that this individual IS Michael Jackson, although he certainly does appear to be Michael Jackson’s double. I have no idea whether this individual was brought in to be part of Joe Jackson’s entourage, or was strategically seated right behind Joe by the organizers of the event, or by other individuals who are perhaps enjoying fooling the public, yet again. Also, why is he wearing a baseball cap? That is certainly not in-style right now.
Anyhow, If you look at the second image above, you will note that this individual has curly permed hair. Michael Jackson used to have the identical hair style in the 90′s, and has had straight hair for the last few years. However, rehearsal footage from the ‘This is It’ concerts showed that Michael Jackson had curly hair on stage, while in other images, he had straight hair.

The picture below was taken on May 29, 2009. It was reported that Michael had gone back to having his permed curly hair style.

It certainly does seem plausible to me that the individual seated behind Joe Jackson may have been involved in this entire ploy. It definitely seems to be too innocent to be ‘just a coincidence’.

If Michael faked his own death, he will have a lot of mad people
August 1, 2009 at 7:30 pm
michaeljacksonnotdead
Yes especially since fans have even committed suicide. So odds are that he will NOT appear on a large scale again. If he does, then he will say that his life was in danger and that he had no alternative. If he did this, he will be facing many many charges of fraud and will be sued for every single dime he has or will ever make. So this is not really practical. The only other possibility is that there will only be intermittent reports of a look-alike spotted.

Not to sound insensity, but the fans, if any, committed suicide had issues long before Michael Jackson. I love Michael Jackson to death , I didn’t commit suicide. And how has Michael Jackson comitted fraud. It is not illegal to fake your death as long as no money is collected on life insurance. Insurance was cashed in, but not collected. You can Google the info on Life Insurance. As for all of the huge money being made off of Michael Jackson movies, books, videos..etc…I see nothing wrong with that. No one is being forced to purchase anything. And most crimes are defined by….something for nothing. When you purchase MJ products, you are getting something.

Debbie, I don’t think people would be mad. I think they would be happy that Michael isn’t dead. Anyway, what do people have to be mad about, it’s Michael’s personal life. And no one knows the real reason MJ had to go away. I would not be mad. I would be very happy to have him back. MJ loves his fan, I have trust in him that he had a valid reason for his disapperance, such as the weird things we do in our own personal life.

MichaelJackson#1Fan you are sooooooooo right….I keep saying the same thing. No fraud has been committed…that is right the insurance was only cashed in….and if people want to buy his things…no one is putting a gun to their heads to do so….so hes got no problems coming back.
and I soooooooooooo hope he does it soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
love you Michael

These 2 last photos, one of MJ behind the camera and other of Mj behind the car, are not of the same person. The 1st person is an imposter and the 2nd is a very healthy looking MJ. I think the imposter has been used lots of times and if MJ does have dummies of himself, it would be to model an imposter on. I don’t think either of them died, they were used to see how far the Drs. would go in over prescribing!

I know many times I wouldn’t watch because of the doubles. A person can sense if it is the real person or not. The picture on the rehersal footage looks like a wig pulled back, but then thinned at the end to look of his previous 90′s hair styles. That hairstyle was his best in the 90′s. The easiest way to tell an imposter is by the bone structure and the fingers on the hand. With Michael there are a few other good signs. His ears are one of those. His eyes also have a distinct look with or without makeup. A passing interview can be pawned off by any imposter except people to truly know Michael’s body, aura and manerisms.

Remember, Hollywood and makeup and masking is close to the real look. It would be hard at a glimpse to notice the difference.

I love Michael with all my heart. Sometimes I wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time and be the love that he was missing. I would had never ever divorced him or cheat on him. & When I heard that he passed “RAN” away I felt like I lost a twin. Michael and me are so much alike, we’re shy, funny, we loved candy, we both had pet rats, we had a horrible childhood, and we both needed someone who understood how we felt. And what sucks is that he was that person for me. One day My friend told me that me and MJ weren’t meant to be because he had “died”, but then I told her “No, maybe we are, because there’s a good chance he might be alive!”.Thanks to this website! & If I had one last chance to tell him one thing I would’ve said “YOU ARE NOT ALONE!” I love you Michael Jackson! please come back soon. I miss you<33
P.S.- Like a week before he xscaped I was crazy for him, but then sadly he left.

First of all, I want to thank to the administrator of this web site for all the informations and observations, because his analysis is the most objective and wide from all that I’ve read till now.
At this moment, massmedia is plenty of information, and is enough difficult to have a finally conclusion and the TRUTH.
I am agree with the ipothesis that Michael may not be dead. I respect him and I love his music and everything he did and everything he means in a way that words are not enough to explain it. His presence, no matter in what way ( live, in pictures, in videos, and so on ), is like an perpetuate spring for me. What I hadrly regret is that untill now, I never had the chance to see him performing live! This is one of my few but biggest regrets at the age of 24!
I love Micheal as a person above all! He was and remains for me a landmark for values, education, ambition and uniqueness! And I believe in the day of his return.
With all my sincerly love and consideration for MICHAEL,
Mayra.
Ps: I’ll keep reading the blog. Thank you!

I think that would be Navi, his only “official” Michael Jackson impersonator. He performed at MJ’s 50th Party and was his decoy on a number of occasions. His website is http://www.kingofpop.co.uk and has plenty of images/videos etc and even one for a new MJ game.

The BET awards were after his death right? The last photo of him in the ambulance was a FAKE (not my point) and the “Michael” was A LOT darker/ tanner than the real Viltago affected Michael. Really. So maybe that was him….

what’s the point? i still don’t understand… there was a man looking like MJ.. maybe one of his impersonators..who just wanted to be there … i don’t think there anything else, really

We can say that it may be something premeditated, and a guy who physically resembles with MJ showed up there, or just a simple coincidence , meaning that one of many guys that has some physical traits in common with Mike, came at BET Awards. And, of course, he knew it would cause enough reactions, as long as he settled behind Joe Jackson and the spotlights were in front of him. Let’s have a logic in that! Do not underestimate the intellectual qualities of Mike! This is not a valid theory to support directing his death. He wouldn’t expose himself there like that, C’mon…
As I said, if he’s still alive, I would be more than glad and happy. He has the right for hapyness more that words can explain it. I would like one day to read this news verified and true, that he staged his deadth and he’s living peacefully and happy near his children and his close friends !…

if Michael faked his death we must support him!remember how much he did for us..maybe had no other choice because we all know how good and kind person he was..he couldnt hurt anyone!he sacrificed a normal life and childhood for us!to entertain us and give us the best he could!through his lyrics,poems,good acts he tried to learn us to make a better world!although most of the people treated him like shit!i will fully support him!(i hope you too)…

We all make choices in our lives that we ultimately have to deal with one way or another. It’s obvious if he has passed on his spirit is with the creator if he staged his death he obviously wants to be left alone. We will always have opinions on what we could of should of done but at this point in our lives we have to focus on the living and thank God for the gift of Mr MJJ our lives on earth is short find your gift and be a giver as Michael has done let him be an example to us all Loving and Giving is the true living. Thank God for Michael and his time here on earth.

the man that is behind Joe Jackson must be E-Casanova. He really looks exactly like MJ in his ‘Bad’ period. Just search E-Casanova and you will find his MySpace.

From the very first moment when I heard that Michael was gone I didn’t believe it not because I didn’t want him to die, but because when you hear that somebody is dead you don’t want it but you have that ‘special feeling’ that it’s true so you just have to admit it. I hope you know what I mean…
I don’t admit that Michael is gone. I don’t have that ‘special feeling’. Besides there is no real proof that he’s dead. Our dear Michael is alive, and no matter weather he comes back or not. We love him so much not for our pleasure but for giving him our love especially we all so much alike with him, we know exactly what love means for us so we can guess what Michael needs. Notice that nobody would ever blame Michael in faking his death, on the contrary – we understand him completely. Let’s hope that our support will help him to make a decision to come back.

I agree with Michael Jackson #1 fan.
I love Michael like crazy! and Yeah, i guess i would be disapointed if he did fake his death, i mean c’mon, i’ll be like michael, how can u do tht to us???!! but i would understand…
but still i mean, i believe in life after death, so , i kno i’ll meet him one day, and i will, maybe i didnt get to meet him on earth but for sure in heaven.
And his music had inspired me throughout the years, and made me love to sing and dance. and i just feel like i lost a part of me.
God Bless you Michael I LOVE YOU!!!!! we miss you so much.

As well as stage performances his varied career includes numerous TV appearances, galas, corporate events, advertisement contracts as well as official promotions for Michael Jackson`s European tours followed.

I”m sorry but your comments about Michael’s hair — Michael wore wigs and have been wearing them for a very long time. It’s very simple to change your hair when you’re wearing wigs. So from curly to straight, that’s what that is, a change in Michael’s hair piece.

If Michael is in fact still alive, I applaud him. The general public is a mixture of nutz n bolts all aimed at anyone that is doing good for him/her self. No wonder Michael has left the public eye (if he is alive). I hope he stays out and enjoys life as ALL OF YOU have while Michael danced, sweated, and wrote songs.
