    She is built like her father:

    Turns out, the color is due to a "rare eye condition" the model has. Here's what we know.

    Paris Jackson's blue eyes are due to an unnamed eye condition, which could possibly be Waardenburg syndrome.
    Although Baker doesn't name the condition, she does note that it doesn't impact Jackson's eyesight. With that in mind, Jackson may likely have Waardenburg syndrome (WS). The syndrome is a genetic condition that can impact the coloring or pigmentation of your eyes.

    Waardenburg syndrome also impacts the coloring or pigmentation of the skin and hair, and can cause hearing loss. It's unclear if Jackson has any other symptoms related to her "rare eye condition."

    People with Waardenburg syndrome often have strikingly blue eyes, two different colored eyes, or have two different colors in each eye. The National Organization for Rare Disorders says that there are a few different types of this disorder. Again, based on the information, it is unclear if Jackson has this condition, let alone has a particular type.

    The genetic syndrome is linked to a lack of development in the eye tissues that make up the iris.
    According to the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, "Mutations of at least six different genes are known to cause WS, and it may be inherited in an autosomal dominant (most commonly) or autosomal recessive manner."

    WS is associated with the underdevelopment of the tissue fibers in the eye that make up the iris, the colored region of the eye, thus causing the impact on color. The US National Library of Medicine reports that 1 in 40,000 people are affected by the syndrome.

    Whether or not Jackson has WS, we're glad her gorgeous blue eyes graced the award show and that they are working just fine.

    like dad Michael on new album
    ‘Wilted’




    "You gotta hand it to Paris Jackson — the 22-year-old heiress to the King of Pop’s throne.

    There is not one single Michael-esque moment on her debut album, “Wilted,” which arrives on Friday as if out of nowhere.

    It’s like she never once heard “Billie Jean,” “Beat It” or “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough” in her life, let alone grew up in Neverland. Nor will you hear any hints of Auntie Janet or any of that Motown stuff her uncles grew up singing on Saturday morning cartoons.

    There is a dreamy wooziness, a sultry touchiness, a haunting moodiness to “Wilted” that is part Lana Del Rey, part Norah Jones, part “Folkore”-era Taylor Swift.

    This Paris is brooding.

    Her record sounds nothing like you’d expect, partly because if you don’t even know it’s coming, there’s nothing to expect.

    Let’s be clear: This album is not any kind of game-changer. But it is a revelation in its own way, coming from a young woman who has spent most of her life carefully choosing what she would reveal and how.

    Jackson co-wrote nine of the 11 tracks — the other two she wrote by herself — with Andy Hull, leader of the indie-rock band Manchester Orchestra, who also produced much of the album.

    And with its hushed, confessional intimacy, this is about as indie-sounding as you could get from an album on Republic Records — also home to the likes of Ariana Grande, Drake and The Weeknd. But the low-key vibe works in Jackson’s favor, because you completely forget about her famous kinfolk.

    Instead, you just lose yourself in the soothing, alt-folk atmosphere of tunes such as “Cosmic,” first single “Let Down” and the Damien Rice-esque “Eyelids,” which sometimes melt into each other without you even noticing one track ended.

    As for Jackson’s voice, it’s airy and alluring — definitely more Janet than Michael on the power scale — but it’s used more to ooze through the mix rather than to make some kind of big pop-star statement." Source

    Nastya Kerslina, a Russian singer, has the same condition, in her case one eye is a different color. It is rare but it happens, i have seen a lot of people commenting on Paris's eye color, but it's not really something people should wonder about She's not the only one with the same condition

    yeah, Aragorn has mentioned a similar condition and I had a college professor that had one brown eye and blue eye (I think that is the one that Aragorn has referred to). My thing was curiosity about the true nature of Michael Jackson's sexuality. I'm no expert but it seems most types don't mix ... (e.g. pedophiles don't generally go for Shakira types, gay men don't generally go for Miley Cyrus types, etc)

    One other thing i didn't consider is artificial insemination which by reading seems that might have been the process. I was a big fan of Michael Jackson's ... I would always just root for his not being a pedophile. Just idle rumination. I may have too much free time right now.

    I don't think he was, he was just too naive, raised over protected, had little contact with "real" people outside so he never developed the normal social skills most people have

    Then he was taken advantage off, and it's so funny that once money was given, the parents of the "raped" children did not care anymore about the issue. It was all just about money i think

    Hi, Gio. Hope you don't mind the blue/brown vibe going on...

    I've known people with one blue and one green, also one blue and one pale brown.

    Max Scherzer has the most dramatic contrast I've ever seen:

    That's quite freaky! Eyes are windows to the soul...

    I used to think that MJ was either gay or bisexual, but definitely not a pedo. They took him down for various reasons.

    He was neither gay nor bisexual, and he was also not a pedophile. He was the real-life embodiment of Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, and that is why he surrounded himself with children and ─ innocently ─ had them sleeping in his bed with him. It was a result of how his tyrannical and ambitious father had deprived him of his childhood. Don't forget that he was only a little boy when his father forced him and his brothers into becoming a (very popular) professional act as The Jackson Five.

    The allegations of pedophilia were all brought about by criminally egotistical and greedy bastards who were out for money. And being the star he was, Michael had loads of that ─ more than he could ever spend. That's why, after first having had to endure several legal battles, he eventually didn't bother with the court cases anymore and simply paid up the money that the bastards were demanding.

    Just as there have been "witnesses" who claimed that Michael had sexually abused them, there have also been ample witnesses who had stayed over at the Neverland ranch and slept in Michael's bed with him, and who swear that he never did anything like what he was accused of. One of them was Macaulay Culkin, the boy from the "Home Alone" movies.

    Michael's disgust of his father was also why he constantly had his appearance altered through plastic surgery, up to the point where it even cost him his nose and he had to wear a prosthetic. He would do everything to make him not look like his father anymore. His whitened skin color however was in part due to a skin condition ─ which later evolved into skin cancer ─ and due to the makeup he wore for masking the whiter and darker areas of his skin.

    Michael Jackson was eccentric in many ways, but he was not a pedophile. He was a naive little boy in the body of a grown man, and he was taken advantage of big time because he happened to be very rich.

    Yeah, I knew that. His father used to give the brothers a lot of beatings and he was scared of his father who seemed like a monster. I think that's why he was so misunderstood, because he wanted to relive his childhood and people thought that he had some weird perversions because he was spending time with kids. There is something strange about his murder too and he is defamed too in some people's eyes now, I think it's because he cared about many important issues related to society and our Earth. I feel that he was pure.

    Maher and SJWs:

    The people that hang their heads in shame over misstatements and the occasional faux pas are setting themselves up for flagellation. It's ok to say sorry for offending but that should be followed up with higher reasoning explaining why and where for. Allowing a 3-year old to determine their true gender identity is stupid beyond words. A good discussion/argument concerning the psychological and social issues with parents thinking in that fashion should be addressed.

    On a larger scale it could be viewed as the dichotomous thinking of parenting in a permissive or authoritarian way. The answer is authoritative parenting ... the synthesis of the Hegelian Dialectic. The low I.Q. of the typical human is always outfront.

    Macaulay Culkin even remained a friend of MJ until the last day, he was there watching and happy at the time MJ had his last performance and all throughout those days. You don't get that from people you "raped". This was as you said, people just took advantage, badly and money was all they cared about

    Back into the MJ thing, i would like to clarify something about him, i do believe he had "Intelligent Madness" just as geniouses usually do have

    In the video of "Smooth Criminal" i think he specifically says so, i just think he wanted people to know about it someway


    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_D3VFfhvs4


    Into this video, look at minute 5:12, and what are they experiencing there? It's just that, a temporary lapse, black and white, then at moment 6:25 it all lights up and breaks out of the lapse, "lights go on". This is a way to say he was in a tremendous amount of energy and knowledge at that time, he was "awake"

    MJ was not a normal person at all
