There are alot of so called tribute magazines out there. They fall into 3 catagories:
1)Cheaply thrown together in order to make a buck off of Michael. Offering little to no substantial content.
2)Magazines that still vilify him in his death and still feel a need to cover him in lies or negativity. These topics to me include any discussions that involve his appearance or discussion of those false charges which he was found (many forget) NOT GUILTY of.
3)Well, researched, beautiful, work that pays tribute and honor to the man that was Michael Jackson.
This magazine falls into the last catagory. Michael had a longstanding relationship with Ebony, even granting them his last interview and photo shoot. This edition is a beautifully made tribute that the magazine took time in making in order to give fans a true collectors magazine.
What makes this magazine special is that it contains many rare photos from Ebony’s own archives, interviews from Michael himself, and reflections from his good friends and employees of Michael (including his hairstylist, which I really liked her memories of him :)). These reflections are not gossip, like what we have been seeing all over the news, but instead, cherished memories of their time spent with him. One of these treats is that from his concert manager who was organizing his tour. He shares with us his last night spent with Michael,the night before he passed. He also speaks about how Michael was so warmed by how the fans had recieved him. It is heartwarming and tender.
This magazine offers much more, but I won’t spoil it for anyone. I will just say, if you only get just one, get this one.

If you get only one commemorative issue devoted to Michael Jackson, this is the one. It has beautiful, rare photos from Ebony’s archives and an excerpt of a final, in-depth 2007 interview with Michael to promote the 25th anniversary of Thriller. This tribute, unlike most of the others out there, was put together with love and respect for Michael and it shows.
Table of contents are as follows:
8 – chairman and ceo’s note: never can say goodbye
11 – introduction: remember the time
12 – context: history
14 – chapter 1 – nova: in the beginning
32 – chapter 2 – supernova: the making of an icon
50 – chapter 3 – metamorphosis
78 – chapter 4 – legacy eternal

I have purchased and read the Rolling Stone, People and Life tribute magazines (not Time Magazine, due to it’s negative reader reviews), and this one is by far, the best. It offers a positive tribute to the Legend, as it should be. There are also some great photos exclusive to this magazine and well, the whole thing is just done beautifully. Buy this, you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful photos , all the interviews ever made in Ebony is here,done with respect and dignity and who else than Michael Jackson himself , could really tell the facts and stories.
One of my favorite quotes is from 1981, which means he was only 23 years old, when he said :
“I want to continue to grow. To me, the biggest sin of all sins is to be given a gift, a talent, because it’s actually a gift from God, to take that and not to cultivate it and make it grow, that’s the biggest sin in the world.”
Well,ís’ent the world full of busy people, forgetting their real purpose in life, not conecting to their talent or giving up on persuing what they really want.
Hi thanks for giving me a bad consience, Michael.I’ll work on it.
I never was a fan, fan but as so many people, esp. about the same age as him, I grew up with him, and he was always there and his death has affected me deaply.
Therefore it is great a magazine like this excist, giving him the credit for his life and work, no he was not odd, he was an artist above all.

This book is so beautifully compiled. It truly is a loving, respectful, glorious tribute to a loving, respectful, glorious man! If you love Michael Jackson, this is the book for you. I wrote a letter to Ebony, thanking them for honoring Michael in such a beautiful way. You will not be disappointed. The contributions are full of wisdom and gratitude towards Michael for all he gave to this planet. The pictures are perfect. Enjoy!

Did you notice that they wouldn’t let Access Holywood get too close with their cameras because Ebony didn’t want proof of the Incredible amount of Photoshop retouching they were going to have to do to fix Michael’s grotesque face.

Ne-Yo has confirmed to Ebony Magazine that he and his girlfriend, Monyetta Shaw, are expecting a child together. It will be the first child for the rapper-songwriter. “It’s a New Year’s baby,” he added, as the child is due in January. During the interview, Ne-Yo also said that he’s “very, very excited” to be expecting his first child. However, the two don’t know the child’s gender yet, as the baby was curled up in the womb during the first ultrasound. While Ne-Yo is also preparing to release his latest album, ‘Libra Scale,’ he also told the magazine “I’m ust in a really good place right now.” However, the baby news comes after [...]

Video : “Get Ready (w. Smokey Robinson)” music video by Human Nature added on 2010-03-20 Category (Genre) : R’n'B Description: Human Nature is an Australian pop vocal group. The group was originally formed as a doo-wop band in 1989 while the current members were at school together in Sydney.
