I watched him dance most of my life and when I found out he had Lupus and he STILL kept going my admiration grew to new heights.All the times that he went to the hospital and said it was dehydration I know he was exsperiancing some type of flair up.Sometimes it makes you confused and it can make you hurt so much you can't get out of bed.look at his hands and you can see that his joints are swollen somtimes, it is a terrible desease to have because you can't see the damage it does until your dead

When I saw Katie asking these leading questions & Quincy's remarks, I felt both anger and sadness. Here was MJ's whole life reduced to being no more than a confused, pitiful victim of abuse. Not someone who thrived in spite of it, or brings joy to millions of people with his music, even the music that Quincy didn't produce.

If he was in fact getting chemical peels or doing something to his skin tone (which I believe he didn't do) it was possibly to even out his skin color due to the damage left behind by vitiligo.

From what I've read, MJ wasn't officially diagnosed with lupus until 1985. Before that, his butterfly rash is most prominent. The rash can become less or more visible on its own, depending on how the body is reacting to various irritants. After 1985, I'm sure Michael was put on meds, specifically hydroxychloroquine (trade name Plaquenil) or another drug like it to eliminate the rash. We all know how careful he was about covering his face & avoiding the sun, so that would also help w/ the rash.

[@iloveyou75204]

Most of MJ's plastic surgery was all corrective procedures due to his Lupus, similar to his scalp corrective surgeries after the Pepsi accident. Even Dr. Richard Strick, who reviewed MJ's medical file and worked for Sneddon, who thought MJ was guilty of the false allegation charges, despite this, insisted MJ's nose surgeries were all reconstructive due to Lupus. This is what Dr. Strick said:
DR. STRICK: Lupus is also an autoimmune disease and he also had skin involvement, which had destroyed part of the skin of his nose and his nasal surgeries and all were really reconstructive, to try and look normal.
QUESTION: So all these nose reconstructions you’re saying was as a result of him treating his lupus?
DR. STRICK: The first one was to try and reconstruct from some scar tissue and obstruction that had happened with the skin there. It didn’t work out very well and all subsequent attempts were to make it right. I think he was trying to look like a normal guy as best as that he could.”
MJ's Lupus caused scar tissue and obstruction. Even Katherine said during a 60 minute 2013 interview that MJ had extra plastic surgery due to vitiligo, saying, "People might say he over indulged in plastic surgery, but they don't know went on before, he had a skin disease (vitiligo)". So I personally believe MJ had several nose jobs due to Lupus and Vitiligo. Here's what an article said about how vitiligo affects a person's body, which does include the nose:
What are the symptoms vitiligo?
People who develop vitiligo usually first notice white patches (depigmentation) on their skin. These patches are more commonly found on sun-exposed areas of the body, including the hands, feet, arms, face, and lips. Other common areas for white patches to appear are the armpits and groin, and around the mouth, eyes, nostrils, navel, genitals, and rectum.
All this has to do with the illuminati, which I don't care to get into. This is why MJ said "Don't you black or white me!" in his 'They don't care about us' song.
This is why the poor guy was so thin during the Thriller era, and fasted every Sunday, because he was battling Lupus. Notice MJ weighed more during the 'Off the Wall' era than with Thriller, because he was battling Lupus. MJ even start to wear sun glass with Thriller, whereas with 'Off the Wall' he hardly wore glasses at all, that's because MJ was battling Lupus. During the Bad era, MJ's Lupus was in remission, because they just diagnosed his Lupus in 1986, whereas he been had it sense 1982. MJ's Lupus would still flare up with the Bad era, but it was more so with Thriller because it wasn't diagnosed with Thriller, and MJ took it into his own hands by becoming a vegetarian and fasting every Sunday, as he stated he did during the 1983 'Beat It' interview. This is why MJ said during the 1993 Oprah interview, that he only had as many facial plastic surgeries which you can count on one hand, because he never had many facial plastic surgery for beauty purposes, but for medical purposes, and only had a few facial plastic surgeries that you can count on one had for beauty purposes. MJ was under attack during the success of Thriller. MJ got Lupus, Pepsi burn, and Vitiligo during the success of Thriller, have you ever thought about that? lol. Anyway, I know exactly why these things happened to MJ, but like I said earlier, I don't care to get into the illuminati stuff right now, lol. That's whole other story, lol.

Yes, they DID produce classic hits! *Dangerous: Black or White, (which also went to #1 in MANY countries) - Heal the World, Remember the Time, are another two.

[@zeew5660]

Quincy Jones has issues.

[@scorpionJB]

rather than tearing people down, we need to appreciate the amazing contribution MICHAEL and QUINCY delivered in teh world of music, the greatest artists collaborated w/the greatest producer to create music for the ages, 3 albums back to back to back....we should celebrate rather than despise because when we do that, that energy is captured by the universe, which inhibits great music to be created by future artists, let's take out the profanity and learn how to respect one another

[@alphalioness72]

Okay, I wasn't there but I find it very hard to believe MJ would say, "Rap is dead" in the late 80's. IMHO, if Q could see things coming a mile away, MJ could see them 10 miles away.

[@framboise8895]

In fact Dangerous is full of rap duets.

[@ezekielthemack]

Thanks for clarifying. I've always admired Quincy since the early Brothers Johnson days and he has always been avuncular and affable in his demeanour. I have the greatest respect for M.J. but I really think that he made a big mistake when he parted company with Quincy. The songs on the "Off The Wall", "Thriller" and "Bad" are way stronger than anything he did subsequent to that. Truth be told, Quincy was a major contributory factor in MJ's success as a solo artist.

[@ChokeslamToHell]

I dunno, Dangerous was a pretty awesome album. After that, I think it was more about the accusations making him angry and bitter and changing the type of music he wrote than the producers.

[@aviya43]

he sounds like he's jealous.

[@prismgap]

Quincy Jones was to Michael Jackson what George Martin was to the Beatles. The minute Michael went for Teddy Riley and made "Dangerous" was when everything went downhill. With Quincy producing his albums he just got better and better. Classic Michael was all under the production of Quincy, period. He should have never left him.

[@zolaningange8886]

I used to have mad respect for Quincy. Now I'm starting to ask myself, If Q created mike, where are his other chart breaking proteges? Just acknowledge Michael was super gifted and he also personally wrote hits in Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad and had the right to work with Teddy Riley in Dangerous. Your could have raised your concerns while Mike was alive. Truth is, you was to take sole credit for a Soul that was Blessed immensely. I had you in my home's Hall of Fame with Gula Matari, Q's Jook Joint etc but your bitterness towards Mike is scary. It's as if he took some of your spotlight when he credited you as a genius whenever he was given an opportunity.

[@marmary5555]

Quincy was the producer , but the writers of his biggest were Rod Temperton (amongst others) and Michael himself.

[@DNGMaestro]

Quincy doesn't directly answer any of the questions and instead just shows he's become a bitter old man.

[@annetteb2432]

DNG Maestro 3yrs ago you made this comment and today it's coming to pass. Wow! 💋

[@MrPernell27]

DNG Maestro Bitter? He’s changed music more than almost any other person, produced the biggest album ever, worth several hundred million dollars and at 84 is still fucking women 50 years younger than him. He has absolutely no reason at all to be bitter. Maybe he just doesn’t give a shit or feel the need to bs about anything.

[@Jamesthealienfreak]

I am disgust he talked about MJ in that way

[@jazmorrison9030]

Me to vile man Quincy

[@dignifiedblackman4742]

Quincy Jones kept it real I see nothing wrong with what he said

[@framboise8895]

He's just bitter because he couldn't milk Michael his billions, he never did chemical peeling, it's very disrespecful talking like that abt his deceased friend.

[@scorpionJB]

I agree rksobers, you don't last for 50 years in a field as unpredictable as teh music industry w/out gaining wisdom....I love QUINCY and MIKE....and QUINCY'S production, when you listen to his melodies are full of wisdom and understanding....

[@22dag]

Thumbs down for you mr Quincy Jones !!
You may be a great producer but i not a great human being i guess
Cause by now the whole world knows the truth about Michael Jackson ,
not thanks to you unfortunately

[@AllyKiss18]

MJ had vitiligo, it’s even on the coroners report, he also had discoid lupus. This is why he had chemical peels.

[@jan5262]

I agree. Anyway, that's just his opinion. MJ was crowned King of Gabon in west Africa. He travelled to Africa as much as he travelled to Europe and wanted to buy a home there. He stated on the Steve Harvey Show that he was proud and honored to be black. MJ studied black history. One of his favorite books was "The Destruction of Black Civilization" by Chancellor Williams.

[@RedSun1932]

@cpope3391 Alot of people think his music went downhill after Bad, but I think he just took more control of his music and grew. He became more eclectic. The downside to that for me is that post Bad the albums had a mixed feel with the sound where as before that there was a running theme with the sound running through. Thats what I think anyway.

[@jas7869]

Rap started in the 70's enough said!

[@afrosensuous]

@UNIQUE1982....Thank you. I feel that we all have our memorable MJ and J5 experiences, but when I was very young I dug deep into the musical aspects of the J5, then MJ as a soloist. Most folks jumped on the bandwagon when he did Off The Wall and didn't know that he did 2 solo albums as a youngster. I love MJ, but not to the point of being obsessed. Personally, I feel his biggest asset was the creating process in the studio between him and the best studio musicians in the world.

[@pedrokaco]

Quincy is the man, Michael and him were the perfect team!

[@shaecarpenter3158]

Rap started way earlier than what he claiming.

[@Chelsea_13442]

working with Michael was the highlight of quincys carrear nobody would pay him for an interview if it wasn't to talk about Michael ill always love quincy jones but hes coming off really bitter in this interview

[@scorpionJB]

great points onejagjeff, people really don't know, or care to know what QUINCY was all about...he was a humanitarion thru his love for music and common good, he brought the best out of MICHAEL as well as MICHAEL bringing the best out of him....QUINCY is the greatest producer in the history of the recording industry...period...his spirit is humble, and I've really never seen QUINCY upset for no justifiable reason...it's sad all these lies have been put out there for the world to believe in

[@4ha6]

That is really sick to hear a friend of Michael turn on him like that. We can now prove Michael had Vitiligo, and Quincy never believed him =( It's sick that he would go against him and go to the media, degrading his own friend. Sick.

[@lovetommezz]

interesting that with Q being interviewed , he is always asked about MJ but MJ wasnt always asked about Q.I think there is a little competitiveness there.And MJ did have lupus, vitalago, and I believe he did have a lung problem according to the autopsy..Maybe Q shouldnt have been so quick to judge.I think he was disappointed when MJ moved on.Then again , maybe he moved on because he felt Q was too critical of him personally.Never hear MJ say anything bad about anybody really

[@trobical86]

MJ was too nice a person to say somthing negative about others even if its true... MJ 's only thing was hi inability to see and acknowledge other people's darkness.... MJ was a kind soul ....

[@makenart]

@MrSTAYUP33 MJ was a genius in his own right on so many levels, he was, and is more than just a voice, but a pioneer to a generation of POP as a whole!! Don't forget Quincy's greatest productions, and works also came with Michael Jackson as well, so don't get it twisted!!

[@hc301271]

Dont talk bad about Quincy Jones the man is a legend

[@Provemewrongwithfacts]

Whatever one may think about this, what Quincy is saying is the truth from his perspective.

[@tonm08]

1. NO! ultimately MJ produced that sound - with his MIND & MOUTH; Just as with his backdrop/base for Billy Jean! The way MJ wanted something to sound was always in his head and he would normally beat-box, etc. to guide those whose help he needed on the technical /sound engineering end. Thriller was supposed to be finished, and Q certainly wasn’t complaining; however, MJ cried with frustration and refused to release it.
They went back into the studio until it was finished to HIS satisfaction -

[@Oioisavaloy]

That's not true at all. You must not have seen interviews with all the other musicians, engineers and songwriters for that record, that have all acknowledged Q's MAJOR contribution. I'm one of the biggest MJ fans and I'm old enough to have experienced it first hand, but aside from a few tracks on Dangerous, Michael never came close, before or after, at recreating the quality of those three records he made with Quincy Jones.

[@Oioisavaloy]

PS it was literally Quincy who replaced the 4 weakest songs and replaced them with Beat It, Human Nature, PYT and The Lady In My Life. All but one not written by MJ, one written by Q himself, one Q asked to have from Steve Porcaro, and one from Rod Temperton who was only working with Michael, because of Q!

[@oemisc2880]

@@Oioisavaloy Excuse me but “never came close” is relative to your ears. Imho Dangerous & History are just as great, if not arguably even better than Thriller. & Bad album was mostly complete before Q was even involved

[@oemisc2880]

@@Oioisavaloy You forget Q didn’t even like Billie Jean included in Thriller album, but MJ fought to keep it. & PYT was written by James Ingram, not Q. Also it’s true that the 1st cut of the album was substandard, bringing MJ to tears, so MJ refused to release it until they remixed every song to His liking

[@Oioisavaloy]

@@oemisc2880 so you obviously don't know what you're talking about. James Ingram wrote the lyric, but the music (the thing that people groove to) was written by Jones. That's fine 👍 if you're opinion you think those records are better, I guarantee you're in the small minority. Also however subjective you want it to seem, there's a reason the three albums I mentioned are held in such high regard by actual musicians. I never said he never wrote a good song, Bad is one of my favourite ever records and he wrote 9 of 11. But have a listen to the demos or unreleased tracks that never made the cut and honestly tell me that they're up to par? If it was up to MJ there would be a song on Bad called "Abortion Papers"! Doesn't quite fit with the rest of the record does it?

[@DazeyLane]

@4ha6 I cant believe what I'm seeing and hearing as well. I thought Quincy admired&looked after Michael.?! What The Hell Quincy?

[@8mycrab]

What Quincy is trying to say here is, he watched Michael change before his eyes and couldn't stop him. Couldn't stop the plastic surgeries. Losst touch with him as a friend. And I saw Janet on Oprah. She said she felt like she "started loosing him around Thriller". Michael did change. I am 4 years younger than Michael. I've been a fan since he was a kid. I watched it happen too. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I don't know how to explain it to you.

[@MiamiPush2theLimit]

@ miownunique, an autopsy report had already come out months ago with that information in it. Remember, there have been SEVERAL autopsies on this poor man.

[@whatok8024]

it’s ok guys, I’ll say it for you
QUINCY NEEDS TO STOP LYING

[@helenboula3538]

I know he's got a lot of checking up to do before he checks out.

[@kacita]

All those hit songs were written by ROD TEMPERTON (see the credits in the albums), however Temperton's career as a musician was a failure, while Michael put his soul and talent and made them HIS. But Quincy Jones was a key element in Thriller commercial success and there is no reason to deny it . // Having said this, MJ is a true genius, the greatest entertainment of our time, and nothing can change that. No need to deny Quincy Jones' merits. Michael Jackson is huge enough not to need that.

[@rashardstallworth9240]

Michael Jackson owned everything he ever made, everything to Jackson five made, half of Elvis Presley’s publishing catalog, the entire Beatles catalog, and half of Sony’s publishing catalog,. No emotionally unstable man could do that

It also peaked at number one in the UK after debuting at #3 the week before.

I really believe that Q loved MJ but I do feel that there is something in Q that was hurt by MJ when he decided not to work with him again after the Bad project. I have alot of respect for Q but I think there is still some resentment there.

[@beenthinkinaboutyou]

Michael Jackson's biggest mistake was working with Teddy Riley.

[@cartoonworld1000]

The Saint I'm guessing the reason he said MJ's biggest mistake was working with Teddy Riley, is that he's saying Quincy wouldn't be hating on the man so hard right now. I'm a big MJ fan by the way.

[@firasharb1454]

The Saint your insane . Thriller n Bad were extremely phenomenal records . Dangerous, HIStory and BOLDF is amazing but are not on the same caliber as his previous ones . invincible is also a great addition too

[@Elena-er7zp]

There is some truth here. Michael DID want to look different. He said so himself - he didn’t want to look like his father. His father told him he was ugly and had a big nose. He DID alter his appearance but not because he didn’t want to appear black but because his dad made him hate his appearance.

[@oemisc2880]

To look different artistically, creatively, image, branding, in style & presentation. Sure his father gave him a complex, but he definitely had vitiligo & skin color was a major factor in his changing appearance

[@Elena-er7zp]

@@oemisc2880 yes but the plastic surgery happened because he genuinely thought he was ugly in his teens. He really did. It affected him a great deal. Made him shy. He wouldn’t let Oprah broadcast photos of him as a teen and he dictated that the reissues of “Off The Wall” only show his legs, socks and shoes instead of the original with his whole body including his face. He didn’t like what he saw - so he changed it.

[@oemisc2880]

​@@Elena-er7zp He had terrible acne, then having people disappointed when expecting a cute little kid but greeted by a lanky pimply teenager. That really affected him. I think it was mostly his nose & some was reconstructive surgery due to his lupus as one Dr said, & then maybe botox when he got older

[@scorpionJB]

and quite honestly, most of these fans who piss on this stuff wasn't even around when this stuff actually went down, they just come up w/their own opinions based off of ungenuine emotions and false pretense...every artist, I don't care who you are wants to be recognize, but QUINCY never allowed that ambition to dictate how he was going to approach his contribution to music.

Nice to finally see someone be honest about mike. All i ever hear about is how great he was..never any of his flaws.

[@youtubingbabs]

Bit it's not even true. MJ had vitiligo as shown in his autopsy. And chemical peels help acne scars, aging, and even the tone. Nothing word about them at all esp for celebscelebrities. Blacks like how they hep with "dark marks" like from scarring from acne. It just brings the more vital layers of skin to the surface and sloughs off old dead skin cells and helps the new cells regenerate more quickly like when we were young.
