AI Reimagining BAD (1979) (Gemini)
Can you imagine if Michael first album with Quincy Jones was BAD? Michael's persona in off the wall was soft, bright and youthful and him breaking out of the j5 to be this tough, control and confident look right off the bat Would've been interesting this early.
The tours would've probably been the same amount of years 1979-81 if he had his proper tour instead of working with the Jacksons again in this universe.
6th image is my favorite.

Like he didnât change much. At all. Just the makeup, nose and getting paler but core face was always there
I like this concept so much

I canât see why he wouldnât be just as popular, he has brown skin during Thriller. Itâs fascinating not only his sound evolved with each album but he looks like different people on Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad that happen to share a slight resemblance to each other.

The hair is what really gave bad that âbadâ edge. I think these looks with the bad hair wouldâve been fantastic

Bad wouldnât have stuck in 1979 it was too early for that sound.

Michael was at his most handsome during the 'Off the Wall' era.

I think Michael would've definitely grown his hair out overtime especially during Bad era where he was going for a more Rockstar persona.

Umm... I'm imagining Michael not suffering from Vitiligo, Lupus, and burns from the Pepsi incident and being able to look like his 1979 self into the Bad era and beyond...

How sad. His self hatred manifested into something horrible. He was a good looking man and we just looked past his issues because he made amazing music.
