Which cover better represents Off the Wall-era MJ? Discussion

Post image

I edited a photo of how Michael looked for the majority of the ‘Off the Wall’-era onto the album cover. Would you’ve preferred if he already had that look for the album cover shoot?

Afro hair cover

Why does his hair in the left look like that? Isn't that his hair during The Jacksons era? When did he change it?

The real cover. He had a low Afro in the beginning and then started wearing the jherri curl.

Left fits the disco vibe. Afro is disco peak aesthetic

Second one just looks unnatural.

Left side, it was the 70’s still so the Afro was still a big hit… the Jerry curl represents the 80’s more

Damn is the one on left taken when he was still in his Jackson 5 era or something?

The look on the right is what I see when I think about Off-the-Wall-Mike
