I understand why La Toya didn't choose Lisa's photo as one of the better ones and I dont't think her decision was influenced by the panel. In the end, no matter how much she loved Lisa's energy and poses, she had to judge by the pictures lying in front of her and Lisa's just wasn't that good. However, I am pretty sure the producers didn't choose the picture of Lisa that La Toya said was IT. They even stopped her shoot, because La Toya already decided it was a great picture. There's just no way that was the same picture that was shown on the monitor.
Yes definitely. She was pretty much blackballed from not only the public but her family because of her abusive relationship. So to have something like ANTM, which was big at the time, to reach out was a good gig to take.
This season made no sense, they hyped Angelea to make her win even though her performance overall wasn't great, all to then disqualify her and make Lisa win even though Allison had been consistently the best option, they also kept the narrative of saying Dominique wasn't doing great and was boring despite her doing a better job than she did on her own season and honestly should've been between her and Allison.
Allison’s job in this season was not good, I think in her cycle she did an amazing job in terms of photography, this season no. I think Laura, Alexandria idk or Dominique did a great job… those were the best options and maybe some others that I can’t remember
Finally someone who thinks along the same lines of me around Dominique. She was incredible in all stars, her transformation from season 10 was overwhelming and it was so frustrating to see her over looked week after week.
@@simplyrachel_1As much of an Allison fan as I am (fave contestant all show) I do wonder how far Laura would have gotten if they had picked a different salad shot. I just refuse tot believe that all of her pictures were 'erotic'
I want to give some context about La Toya, because it's not really that big of a co-sign coming from her. I've been watching RuPaul's Drag Race since season one, and La Toya has been a presence there from the get-go. She loves reality TV. She had her own show. Was on Celebrity Big Brother, Celebrity Apprentice, Worst Cooks of America, Masked Singer. Name it and she will probably do it.
Thank you for this! LaToya has always been trying for the spotlight especially after all her brothers fame and Janet. This wasn't a very special thing, she had even said once it had been years since she spoke either Michael before he passed.
I think this could've been cool if they embodied the essence of each MJ era and made it fashion (lol) rather than just blatantly copy MJ's look. Also, ANTM probably spent their entire budget on having LaToya make an appearance, which is why the rest of the All-Stars seasons is ... 🥴
I love the All Stars season but that might be biased as Allison is my favorite contestant of the whole show. But I totally agree with you. Glee did a similar thing with the outfits but they used their own hair colors and didn’t try to copy him exactly
It pisses me off so much that they tell Lisa she only has one pose (jumping) when that is not true at all. It's so obvious in her photshoots that she has lots of other poses. It hurts me to see them drag her down for the sake of the show.
Every single one of these outfits are iconic, or at least recognizable, to the point that all that hair and the spray tan (blackface) wasn't necessary. They could have done everything they did without all of that stuff and the point would have still been well-made. As a MJ fan, I clearly blotted this from my memory for a reason. 😂😂 Also, LaToya was WAITING on that phone call to come. She didn't have anything else to do. I remember seeing Free Willy in theaters, and when the ending credits rolled and "Will You Be There" started playing, I made my dad stay for the entire thing JUST to listen to the song. 😂😂 Asking me what my favorite MJ song is is like asking me who my favorite child is.
LaToya is obviously still a celebrity, but I think you’re overestimating the cost to get her to do a tv appearance. Her career compared to Micheal’s and Janet’s is a lot less.
Lol right. The Jackson family is only legendary because of Michael and Janet. It's definitely a whole lot easier to get the other family members to do something
Because of that Justin Timberlake situation and the wardrobe malfunction that ruined her career she was deemed a s*ut for something that wasn’t even her fault and she apologized countless times on tv and JT never got any reproductions.
Yea I think Jessica didn't realize thats supposed to be Micheal Jackson when he younger and was still in The Jackson 5. Changing the models skin color to be darker tho is def not it..
MJ was iconic enough for them not to make the girls look Black. And Michael was actually lighter than some of them are in the pictures during the era they are portraying.. wtf?
I agree ...I was thinking as many different skin tones Micheal Jackson rocked why they would even change any of their skin color they could just make them different eras of micheals looks. I think if they would hv did that, it would have been soooo much better, and the photos would have been awesome
Like, if they'd just put them in his iconic outfits and had them strike poses like what is seen in his music videos, people would've gotten what it was about fully. There was no need for what they did.
The wigs and contouring was also unnecessary. It could have just been in the clothes and Michael Jackson inspired in the spirit and posing which is still weird but less goofy and offensive. These challenges could be wacky and fun without being so literal.
Jessica, Allison embodied the very young MJ in the very early days of his career with his brothers. Thanks for all your videos, I like to watch them 🙏🏽
Latoya has been through a lot of darkness in her life, yet she is such a positive person. Truly a kind soul. I've always felt she is such a warm person, and her giggle is priceless.
I really hate how Tyra treats race as a costume. They really didn’t need to blackfish for this, and the fact that this is a recurrent thing on this show (which makes me really glad I stopped watching back in the day, because wtaf) make me wonder if this isn't some weird racial trauma Tyra is acting out as a result of stuff she went through being one of very few Black models coming up at a time when there was a lot less acceptance of Black features...idk but it's really weird and offensive, and I hate they're doing Michael like this!!!! Maybe Tyra's mad he had Naomi in his music video instead of her (but also you can't convince me that Tyra wasn't the real bully in that dynamic, lol! 🥴).
I think they realized that women of colour are beautiful too you know, they see that we have this dark skin it's different it's odd you know, we have what they say 48 shades in our ethnic-in African American women you know, and so um whereas Caucasians have 12 shades. So it gives a little more diversity so there's you know, you may see someone really really really pale and really really dark and it's just so beautiful and I think designers are realizing that and magazines are realizing that and they're saying it's time now you know, put us on the covers put us in the magazines and the makeup cosmetic campaigns. ~ Tyra circa 1993
No, that's your projection. The fashion industry was doing this en masse, see Kevyn Aucoin's makeup book. As well, a majority of film and TV were doing this the world over. I love how you woke zoomers are completely oblivious to this.
Chinese girl transforms herself into 5 races with makeup was uploaded on youtube just a few years ago. Millions of views and hundreds of thousands of black people/poc were loving it and felt inspired. Go be offended for them over there.
Anyone else wondering why the judges are being so nice to the models overall? It's like when there's a guest at your school and the big bad mean teachers are suddenly treating you well in front of them lmao 😂
@@ignacio4389i distinctly remember her reacting to that episode.. it was the recycling materials photoshoot, maybe she had to remove it bc of copywrite?
I don't get why they needed to tan the girls, it's an homage, no? It's about the spirit, not about them being exact MJ look-alikes. At least that's what it should have been like. La Toya took it with so much grace and she's been so sweet and thoughtful in her feedback. Love that!
Latoya was actually known, in the past, to do almost any gig thrown at her. Many ppl (including Janet & Michael themselves) put Janet & Michael on a higher pedestal than Latoya. She was always seen as a B-list star in the eyes of the public & her family. I happen to like her public persona. 🤷🏻♀️ Great video, Jessica! ✌🏻
They could have avoided the problematic make up/wigs really easily. They have models with diverse skin tones...and an inspiration who has also been every skintone during his lifetime. Why didn't they use the black models for young Michael, the mixed race models for his thriller era and the white models for Bad onwards? Seems simple to me.
I feel like this would have been a better challenge if they used it as a chance to practice body poses/sillhoettes because the ones where they couldnt see the face were my favorite. THEN, they wouldnt have to do the make up.... (they probably still would but thats besides the point)
The darkening of their skin is NOT necessary. Michael Jackson transcended skin color. He just ...was. I remember the Michael Jackson that Allison portrayed. My favorite MJ song is "Ben".
I feel like this photo shoot could be reputation burning for some of these ladies and would confuse the hell out of a modeling agency if they saw this shoot in this book. For the girls they had to spray paint.
Shannon’s photo was my favorite. And to be fair, Lisa’s movements did not embody Michael Jackson. No, he doesn’t do the splits. That’s why she was in the bottom.
"It's giving Nutcracker robs you in the night..." Yes it is, Jessica. 😂😂😂 Yes. It. Is. I thought Lisa's energy was fire during the shoot, albeit a bit uncontrolled (for example, her hands in her "best photo" were more headbanger than Human Nature). Also, it's interesting that the judges like to harp on the models doing the same poses (Yaya being too dancer, etc.) - but this time, Tyra kinda gave Lisa a pass, saying it might just be her "signature style." Alison's photo was cute, but I think they should have given that look to one of the AA models, or just not done it at all.
I'll give some context in regards of what happened with Bianca. It all started because of the phone, Shannon tried to create a system that would allow the remaining contestants to use it but somehow her system failed to calculate the time correctly, so Bianca tried to talked it out to fix it, however it all ended with Shannon having a meltdown (though Bianca didn't even try to antagonize her). Then, Lisa decided to step in and started bullying Bianca, and that went on to create so much drama and having Bianca to a point of losing it on the runway challenge. So that's pretty much it, a misunderstanding that escalated all thanks to Lisa's doing.
Shannon called out a producer on Twitter for editing out a key moment in the exchange that warranted Shannon's reaction to Bianca. Bianca then said the most deplorable thing to Shannon on Twitter. Explain that away.
Does it haunt anyone else that ANTM did blackface at least 4 times. 1. Cycle 2 darkening Xiomara to be Grace Jones. 2. Cycle 4 Got Milk photoshoot. 3. Petit Cycle Mixed Race photoshoot. 4. All-stars Michael Jackson. I feel like Tyra felt like it was ok for her to do this because she's black.
@@mizzbre265yes because they still painted her 5 shades darker than what she really is. It would be different if she was already a dark skin black woman and all they did was add some warm tone makeup to make her look darker but no they made a lightskin black woman change her entire skin complexion just like they did to the white models
They didn't need the spray tan for this. The models could have captured his dance moves, energy and playful ease on stage equally well in their natural skin colour. I don't see why turning them into a different ethnicity would be necessary for that. It's just a weird choice, and so uncomfortable to watch.
While i understand why tyra left the elimination up to Latoya i can also understand why she refused to eliminate anyone because it's not what Michael would've wanted
She did but the irony is, Michael had bleached his skin so much in later years, some of the white girls wouldn't have needed more than a little bronzer, instead they put them in his pre-bleaching eras. So it was also stupid an unnecessary to do blackface on them.
LaToya liked her energy but not the picture I actually did like it. I loved Tyra’s reaction to it “Thriller!” I liked Alison’s it was cute. It totally gave MJ when he was with the Jackson 5.
MJ did have a big afro when he was still a little boy, back when he was still just one of the Jackson 5. They chose the right model for that age bracket. She's done the innocent child look so well.
ANTM could never grasp the concept of "inspired by." They were so heavy handed when it came to this type of shoot. Just Captain Obvious right on through. They should have known better.
You know it’s funny this is the one time they didn’t need to do black face since Michael due to his vitiligo became very fair on his own and YET they INSISTED 😂😂😂😂😭😭I’m WEAKK😂🤦🏽♀️💀
When you look up Jackson 5, Allison’s picture is actually very accurate to their poses and clothing in the 70s. I agree with the criticism though that this was a dumb idea. If you have to do blackface to make a photoshoot successful, then find a different concept
They do this a lot on the show where the photographer and everyone comments on how well the model does during the photoshoot but then at judging they pick the most whack photo they can find. They did it to Jeremy on one of the guys vs girls seasons when he tried to come back after being eliminated. Had nothing but great feedback during the actual shoot with the jaguar and then in the panel they told him his picture was awful. Makes zero sense.
I swear they pick the WORST photo instead of their best photos because Lisa was giving pose after pose after pose and they picked that weird awkward one same with Bianca!! I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they REALLY did.
Aww. I was worried about the reaction to this. First time watching this, this was actually my favorite photoshoot from this cycle. Then watchint it years later...yeah, a couple of them was taking it too far with the toning.
The black face is like a important part of the problem with this shoot, but even sans that it’s still hot mess express up there and cringe worthy as hell
Out of all the Jacksons, of course La Toya agreed to it. She’s got history with wanting to be just as big as Michael and Janet but never could. She’s very attention seeking!!
I was about to say the same thing, and then saw your comment! Yes, it is not in fact INCREDIBLE to see her here, she would do anything to shine in her brothers fame. And Janet would never do this, because, she would not agree to exploit her brother after his passing!
Now you know good and damn well none of his other siblings would agree to this. Not even Jermaine. Latoya has issues. That's all I'm gonna say about her
I don’t understand how Andre didn’t see Michael Jackson in Lisa’a picture. The hand in front of the crotch is VERY Michael Jackson is it not? Even her pointing her finger was signature Michael! She was very aware of her body and I think she captured Michael’s spontaneity.
I wish the model doing his early photoshoot had done his big smile that he had on that photoshoot. Who doesn't have a mental image of Michael Jackson looking so young but still confident & smiling so big you can see it in his eyes in that 70s photoshoot?
That is why La Toya is a superstar. Nobody could put her inside a box. She found her own way out and reached out her hand to others she could help. What a grand lady.
Girl you had me crying the whole video 😭🤣🤣😂 . All jokes aside though I love the energy the girls gave but I have to agree with you ! I like this was tacky on so many levels . RIP TO THE LEGENDARY MICHAEL JACKSON 👑
Hey Jessica🙏🏻 Thank You for being Articulate as always when talking about these sensitive issues! Tyra's incessant need to Change Models Race is something that should not be Allowed to Age well! On a Side note; You should try to see Episode 6 of Cycle 4. They had the Girls pose on a "Gas Station" with Wind and Rain & then Thet called a Model a Pro$titute..... a Mess! Only you can deliver us From this Mess😹❤️🍒
As soon as I saw the bronzers and the darkening of the skin I was thinking uh oh not good they should have taken a page out of Michael's book It doesn't matter if you're black or white... And blame it on the boogie is my favourite ❤ Edit: I don't think LaToya chose these the reaction she had to Lisa's and then the fact she was in the bottom two hmm 🤔
We have family and his former stylist at a shoot where they dress up a mostly white group of models into dollar store Michael Jackson mini mes with terrible wigs, blackface, and some of his original clothing. Like bruh 😂
Ive never been so early to one of your vids😂 its wild that ANTM did so many race swapping/black face challenges. Like at a certain point, did no one in the room say "Hmm. Maybe we dont do this."?
What I love about Lisa in this season is, she's not scared to talk back to anyone! Many of the models have that energy, but she has it the most. LaToya liked ALL the pictures, and I love she didn't send anyone home.
They could have at least had the darker models represent his early years and the white models represent the later years but they clearly wanted to show off how they’ve perfected their blackface techniques.
Say what you want about Lisa, but it didn't matter what photoshoot she did, she ALWAYS had a sense of confidence about herself. Here, it's clear that Andre tried to destroy her confidence. It didn't matter what it pertained to. Heck, he threw shade at her outfit for crying out loud.
I thought Latoya betrayed Michael by trying to sell his and their family’s secrets on a telethon? 🥴 maybe he forgave her but imho it’s a bit shady that Tyra had her judge this photo shoot… tbh she’s probably the only one that could be paid to do something like this. It’s especially insensitive that they used blackface for this- Michael’s style was SO iconic- NO need for this ever!
It’s very public knowledge, you don’t need to be so shady or ignorant 😂. La toya has been doing this for decades. She threw Michael under the bus and originally added to the flames regarding the accusations when they happened. She later retracted them. At that point however, his own sister, came out publicly with no knowledge, who was distant from him, his career and wanted limelight & attention. Google it.
I know she was in an abusive relationship with a man who forced her to say certain things about MJ on television. I don't know about other times though.
just stumbled across your page and I’m already hooked! please do the episode with Taylor and “Christian” (season 7 ep. 34) and the Ashley Taylor episode where Kamie ate her up 😂
They brought LaToya… a black woman related to MJ… to a shoot where they do blackface. I mean, I get it that Michael’s appearance changed like… A lot during his life. But this still goes too far for me
Okay knowing what I know about the Jackson’s ( like MEGA FAN- down to the gossip and conspiracies ) and now rewatching this - Those that don’t know the relationship that the family had/has with laytoya - 😂😂😂 baby she was broke and needed that check. There are a few family member that were at some point a bad look for the families brand and Michael! Like late 80s-90s Latoya was one of the siblings that corroborated with Michaels then alleged controversy and for a while was doing a no contact situation with the family. And this was either after her playboy spread she was asked not to do. This was also after his death which was the resurgence of profit building and banking off his recent passing from the family. They filmed a new reality show, pushed nieces and nephews start up careers and comebacks. And even the brothers came back from retirement and went back on tour. So during this time you were going to see more of them because for a while michael and Janet was one of the main reasons they were relevant for gen Z.
Lol she had two seconds in black or white. She didn't know that man. Naomi had a better relationship with him considering how she was the one he chose to be in his "In the Closet" music video. And Latoya would do anything to be on television
@@TheLovesnowangel okay, I was just coming up with a theory on how Tyra would know LaToya. Plus, I’m sure plenty of people in the entertainment industry has worked with both Tyra and Naomi.
Maybe they asked her ahead of time which ones she wanted to comment on…… but yes she should’ve talked first on them all!! OH and she should’ve picked out the pictures! BUT MOSTLY I CANT BELIEVE SHE AGREED TO THIS WOWZERS THEY HAD TO OAY GOOD
I'm kind of disappointed LaToya isn't really involved in the judging i feel like they talk over her/ don't let her talk or just cut her out of the show its like they were distancing her from them.
I understand why La Toya didn't choose Lisa's photo as one of the better ones and I dont't think her decision was influenced by the panel.

Considering how Michael's skin colour changed over the years it was completely unnecessary to darken the girls skin for this shoot...

I think the outfit represents Jackson 5 era but they could have done it without making her skin darker.
no Michelle Jakeson NEVER LOOKED like that stahp lying!!!
@@bulbasaur232 Those were his clothes. Yes he looked liked that. As far as the style.
@@Jalil-wx7rh didn't you watch the video? Jessica said this is not Michael Jackson, he would never wear that and he never looked like that.
@@bulbasaur232 Ok??? And I say that is Michael Jackson, and I've watched a lot of Michael Jackson and what he wore.
If you love the Jackson 5 and early early Micheal than yes you would definitely recognize Allison’s photo shoot . That look is actually very iconic.
I feel like this photo shoot could be reputation burning for some of these ladies and would confuse the hell out of a modeling agency if they saw this shoot in this book. For the girls they had to spray paint.
Yes! Allison's feels especially problematic because of the afro wig.
Ok? Like how do you pull that off? “So I was doing this photo shoot for Tyra and they had me do blackface and it was so fun!”
Bre's was on point! I don't care what they say. Lisa's energy was giving more Mick Jagger than Michael Jackson in my opinion.
I love your videos and Michael Jackson is my favorite artist, so this crossover is everything I need in my life!
Hey, Jessica. Allison Harvard's photo is inspired by the "Jackson Five" era, for future reference... ;)
Shannon’s photo was my favorite. And to be fair, Lisa’s movements did not embody Michael Jackson. No, he doesn’t do the splits. That’s why she was in the bottom.
her energy and dancing were still iconic
is this tyra's third time doing blackface???
Technically, 4th time. Cycle 2, they darkened Xiomaura's (a light brown skinned Afro-Latina) skin to look like Grace Jones.
I don't believe LaToya set the order, at least not all by herself. There's no way the producers would give up that much control.
I would only believe it if they had already planned to not send anyone home this week, so that it didn't matter what order LaToya put them in.
"It's giving Nutcracker robs you in the night..." Yes it is, Jessica. 😂😂😂 Yes. It. Is. I thought Lisa's energy was fire during the shoot, albeit a bit uncontrolled (for example, her hands in her "best photo" were more headbanger than Human Nature). Also, it's interesting that the judges like to harp on the models doing the same poses (Yaya being too dancer, etc.) - but this time, Tyra kinda gave Lisa a pass, saying it might just be her "signature style." Alison's photo was cute, but I think they should have given that look to one of the AA models, or just not done it at all.
I'll give some context in regards of what happened with Bianca. It all started because of the phone, Shannon tried to create a system that would allow the remaining contestants to use it but somehow her system failed to calculate the time correctly, so Bianca tried to talked it out to fix it, however it all ended with Shannon having a meltdown (though Bianca didn't even try to antagonize her). Then, Lisa decided to step in and started bullying Bianca, and that went on to create so much drama and having Bianca to a point of losing it on the runway challenge. So that's pretty much it, a misunderstanding that escalated all thanks to Lisa's doing.
I think this is a complete misread of the situation but I don’t have time to explain why, later
@@fae206how
Lol amazing fox news level spin
Shannon called out a producer on Twitter for editing out a key moment in the exchange that warranted Shannon's reaction to Bianca. Bianca then said the most deplorable thing to Shannon on Twitter. Explain that away.
@@fae206 in their universe the victims are the bullies and the bullies are their heroes.
Does it haunt anyone else that ANTM did blackface at least 4 times. 1. Cycle 2 darkening Xiomara to be Grace Jones. 2. Cycle 4 Got Milk photoshoot. 3. Petit Cycle Mixed Race photoshoot. 4. All-stars Michael Jackson.
I feel like Tyra felt like it was ok for her to do this because she's black.
I am freaking out. So racist 🙄
Not justifying Tyra’s choices at all. But would Xiomara really count if she was black ?
@@mizzbre265yes because they still painted her 5 shades darker than what she really is. It would be different if she was already a dark skin black woman and all they did was add some warm tone makeup to make her look darker but no they made a lightskin black woman change her entire skin complexion just like they did to the white models
Its ok because fashion, television and movies were doing it, Brenda. THROUGHOUT the 2000s and ended around 2012. You guys are sooooo woke and zoommery
Lol woke woke woke woke woke woke woke
And I'm officially binging all these videos. Too good! ❤
I feel Latoya got pressured by production to place that order.
I feel like the judges wanted Latoya to be soooo negative to the girls 😂😂😂😂
And it failed lol
They didn't need the spray tan for this. The models could have captured his dance moves, energy and playful ease on stage equally well in their natural skin colour. I don't see why turning them into a different ethnicity would be necessary for that. It's just a weird choice, and so uncomfortable to watch.
While i understand why tyra left the elimination up to Latoya i can also understand why she refused to eliminate anyone because it's not what Michael would've wanted
Am I the only one who felt that despite the blackwashing, Allison still slayed her version of Michael Jackson? She was so adorable and cool!
Blackface*
She did but the irony is, Michael had bleached his skin so much in later years, some of the white girls wouldn't have needed more than a little bronzer, instead they put them in his pre-bleaching eras. So it was also stupid an unnecessary to do blackface on them.
YES!!!
Jessica obviously has never heard of the Jackson 5
@@bridgethaines7127he had Vitiligo, a condition which affects pigmentation.
Yes, she modeled the clothes the best imo.
40 minutes of Jessica fangirling over Latoya (whom I didn't even know before watching this episode back then)
Speaking as a Black man, I love this shoot!
However, Dominique got robbed by a Smooth Criminal named Laura.
LaToya liked her energy but not the picture I actually did like it. I loved Tyra’s reaction to it “Thriller!” I liked Alison’s it was cute. It totally gave MJ when he was with the Jackson 5.
MJ did have a big afro when he was still a little boy, back when he was still just one of the Jackson 5. They chose the right model for that age bracket. She's done the innocent child look so well.
ANTM could never grasp the concept of "inspired by." They were so heavy handed when it came to this type of shoot. Just Captain Obvious right on through. They should have known better.
LaToya was probably too nice and too positive, so they cut her out of the judging so they could continue their pre-planned narrative.
Allison = Jackson 5 era: early, early music career days; think the song 'ABC'
"Will you be there" is the most amazing song, too!
You know it’s funny this is the one time they didn’t need to do black face since Michael due to his vitiligo became very fair on his own and YET they INSISTED 😂😂😂😂😭😭I’m WEAKK😂🤦🏽♀️💀
Aww, this was sweet. I loved La Toya’s message.
When you look up Jackson 5, Allison’s picture is actually very accurate to their poses and clothing in the 70s. I agree with the criticism though that this was a dumb idea. If you have to do blackface to make a photoshoot successful, then find a different concept
They do this a lot on the show where the photographer and everyone comments on how well the model does during the photoshoot but then at judging they pick the most whack photo they can find.
They did it to Jeremy on one of the guys vs girls seasons when he tried to come back after being eliminated. Had nothing but great feedback during the actual shoot with the jaguar and then in the panel they told him his picture was awful.
Makes zero sense.
I swear they pick the WORST photo instead of their best photos because Lisa was giving pose after pose after pose and they picked that weird awkward one same with Bianca!! I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they REALLY did.
Aww. I was worried about the reaction to this. First time watching this, this was actually my favorite photoshoot from this cycle. Then watchint it years later...yeah, a couple of them was taking it too far with the toning.
The black face is like a important part of the problem with this shoot, but even sans that it’s still hot mess express up there and cringe worthy as hell
“It’s giving nut cracker comes to life at night at Christmas and robs you vibes!” 😂😂😂 👏👏👏
Out of all the Jacksons, of course La Toya agreed to it. She’s got history with wanting to be just as big as Michael and Janet but never could. She’s very attention seeking!!
I was about to say the same thing, and then saw your comment! Yes, it is not in fact INCREDIBLE to see her here, she would do anything to shine in her brothers fame.
And Janet would never do this, because, she would not agree to exploit her brother after his passing!
Now you know good and damn well none of his other siblings would agree to this. Not even Jermaine. Latoya has issues. That's all I'm gonna say about her
@@ElisNUnderlandtrue. The other brothers had drama with MJ but they still were never the ones to exploit him. It was always Latoya
I don’t understand how Andre didn’t see Michael Jackson in Lisa’a picture. The hand in front of the crotch is VERY Michael Jackson is it not? Even her pointing her finger was signature Michael! She was very aware of her body and I think she captured Michael’s spontaneity.
I wish the model doing his early photoshoot had done his big smile that he had on that photoshoot. Who doesn't have a mental image of Michael Jackson looking so young but still confident & smiling so big you can see it in his eyes in that 70s photoshoot?
Thanks for reacting to the episode I told you about I appreciate it😊
I don’t hate this photo shoot but I think that they could DEFINITELY lose the wigs and the makeup on their skin
“This is Michael Jeremy” JESSICA PLS LMFAO
Allison was embodying the Jackson 5 era of Michael’s career!!
13:30 This shoot was based off of Michael’s very very early years, when he was a child star singing as part of the Jackson 5.
That is why La Toya is a superstar. Nobody could put her inside a box. She found her own way out and reached out her hand to others she could help. What a grand lady.
Jessicaaa, every time I see these videos I run to watch them🏃♀your comments literally make my day 🤭
Girl you had me crying the whole video 😭🤣🤣😂 . All jokes aside though I love the energy the girls gave but I have to agree with you ! I like this was tacky on so many levels . RIP TO THE LEGENDARY MICHAEL JACKSON 👑
Hey Jessica🙏🏻 Thank You for being Articulate as always when talking about these sensitive issues! Tyra's incessant need to Change Models Race is something that should not be Allowed to Age well!
On a Side note; You should try to see Episode 6 of Cycle 4. They had the Girls pose on a "Gas Station" with Wind and Rain & then Thet called a Model a Pro$titute..... a Mess!
Only you can deliver us From this Mess😹❤️🍒
Am I think only one who thinks this shoot is actually super cool and turned out amazing?
The concept is good, but it's the blackface which was the problem. They could've done this photoshoot without darkening the models' skin.
@@devontamosley4487black face isn't exactly the problem but that they already have dark models
La Toya was super nice! Even the pics that I personally in my unpro opinion didn't like, she found something nice to say
3:37 in his Jackson Five “ABC, 123” days, he had hair like that
As soon as I saw the bronzers and the darkening of the skin I was thinking uh oh not good they should have taken a page out of Michael's book It doesn't matter if you're black or white... And blame it on the boogie is my favourite ❤
Edit: I don't think LaToya chose these the reaction she had to Lisa's and then the fact she was in the bottom two hmm 🤔
Tyra really said ‘Ru Paul got Latoya on his show I’ll be damned if I don’t get her on mine I don’t care the cost!!’
Allison looks very much like Michael Jackson from Jackson 5, you must not be familiar to his early years
Legit. Jessica was clueless on that one.
Bre’s shot is very underrated imo.
Your confusion “but he was a man” like lmao that got me 😂
We have family and his former stylist at a shoot where they dress up a mostly white group of models into dollar store Michael Jackson mini mes with terrible wigs, blackface, and some of his original clothing. Like bruh 😂
38:54 Lisa with her sarcastic wow, she knew the jig was up 😅
I was thinking the same thing😂
Ive never been so early to one of your vids😂 its wild that ANTM did so many race swapping/black face challenges. Like at a certain point, did no one in the room say "Hmm. Maybe we dont do this."?
What I love about Lisa in this season is, she's not scared to talk back to anyone! Many of the models have that energy, but she has it the most. LaToya liked ALL the pictures, and I love she didn't send anyone home.
Look up Michael Jackson from the sixties. The one picture will make more sense.
They could have at least had the darker models represent his early years and the white models represent the later years but they clearly wanted to show off how they’ve perfected their blackface techniques.
Say what you want about Lisa, but it didn't matter what photoshoot she did, she ALWAYS had a sense of confidence about herself. Here, it's clear that Andre tried to destroy her confidence. It didn't matter what it pertained to. Heck, he threw shade at her outfit for crying out loud.
🎶🎤DON'T STOP 'TILL YA GET ENOUGH 🎶
I thought Latoya betrayed Michael by trying to sell his and their family’s secrets on a telethon? 🥴 maybe he forgave her but imho it’s a bit shady that Tyra had her judge this photo shoot… tbh she’s probably the only one that could be paid to do something like this.
It’s especially insensitive that they used blackface for this- Michael’s style was SO iconic- NO need for this ever!
Xd?
I didn’t know that latoya was a big friend of yours, tell me more cause I don’t know her personally like you do
It’s very public knowledge, you don’t need to be so shady or ignorant 😂.
La toya has been doing this for decades. She threw Michael under the bus and originally added to the flames regarding the accusations when they happened. She later retracted them. At that point however, his own sister, came out publicly with no knowledge, who was distant from him, his career and wanted limelight & attention.
Google it.
I know she was in an abusive relationship with a man who forced her to say certain things about MJ on television. I don't know about other times though.
@@saranyman6933 exactly like wth is this person talking about lol
they would be michael jackson with their own skin color.❤
just stumbled across your page and I’m already hooked! please do the episode with Taylor and “Christian” (season 7 ep. 34) and the Ashley Taylor episode where Kamie ate her up 😂
They brought LaToya… a black woman related to MJ… to a shoot where they do blackface. I mean, I get it that Michael’s appearance changed like… A lot during his life. But this still goes too far for me
Okay knowing what I know about the Jackson’s ( like MEGA FAN- down to the gossip and conspiracies ) and now rewatching this -
Those that don’t know the relationship that the family had/has with laytoya - 😂😂😂 baby she was broke and needed that check. There are a few family member that were at some point a bad look for the families brand and Michael! Like late 80s-90s Latoya was one of the siblings that corroborated with Michaels then alleged controversy and for a while was doing a no contact situation with the family. And this was either after her playboy spread she was asked not to do.
This was also after his death which was the resurgence of profit building and banking off his recent passing from the family. They filmed a new reality show, pushed nieces and nephews start up careers and comebacks. And even the brothers came back from retirement and went back on tour. So during this time you were going to see more of them because for a while michael and Janet was one of the main reasons they were relevant for gen Z.
Jess, THIS IS THE SEASON YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE FULL EPISODES!!!!
You’ve become my comfort RUclipsr
Tyra most likely knows Michael Jackson, personally. She was in the “Black or White” music video. So she maybe friends with LaToya.
Lol she had two seconds in black or white. She didn't know that man. Naomi had a better relationship with him considering how she was the one he chose to be in his "In the Closet" music video. And Latoya would do anything to be on television
@@TheLovesnowangel okay, I was just coming up with a theory on how Tyra would know LaToya. Plus, I’m sure plenty of people in the entertainment industry has worked with both Tyra and Naomi.
Yep. Free Willy was one of my favorite films when I was a child. 🐋 🐳
35:39 you trying to not see the subtitles to not get spoilers is so me 😂😭
This episode broke Jessica 😂
Maybe they asked her ahead of time which ones she wanted to comment on…… but yes she should’ve talked first on them all!! OH and she should’ve picked out the pictures! BUT MOSTLY I CANT BELIEVE SHE AGREED TO THIS WOWZERS THEY HAD TO OAY GOOD
The "if u can't see Brie..." react made me shoot coffee out my nose! 😆 you made my morning, Jess! Thankee! Xo
My favourite song MJ is Dirty Diana, Do you Remember the Time then You Rock My World
I’m sure LaToya had “too many nice comments “ to be included in the panel segment
Your comment on Allison's photo. The young Michael Jackson miss, when he was in Jackson 5. What Michael Jackson do you know? The old one?! Jizzz
LaToya letting this happen and trying to squeeze her name into Michael’s legacy is twisted. This whole industry is sick in the head
I'm kind of disappointed LaToya isn't really involved in the judging i feel like they talk over her/ don't let her talk or just cut her out of the show its like they were distancing her from them.
