I think he looks absolutely GREAT! He, as opposed to Michael Jackson, is not ashamed or afraid of giving his beauty secrets away. MJ was absent for a period of months during which, evidently, he was permanently bleaching his skin (an MD on TV indicated that it was Benoquin/monobenzone that he used). Because after months of seclusion (during which he was undergoing the permanent bleaching), he suddenly surfaced on national TV with bone-white skin, and claiming it was due to vitiligo, which, if you look at his childhood photos can clearly see that he had no such thing.
It would be interesting to see if SS has any kind of reconstructive surgery, which would make him the new MJ, in my opinion. After all, MJ was born just an average looking person, but with all his money he could afford to have all the beauty procedures done, which is what he did. Sadly, though, MJ would not admit to much, even though his results were spectacular towards the end before he started going overboard.
I guess SS is the new MJ.
Ke kosa mas buena SS! Saliste guapisimo, no importa lo ke dice los celosos.
(In English it means: “What a good thing SS! You turned out to be really handsome, no matter what jealous people say”.)

Michael Jackson’s autopsy confirms that he had vitilogo, not to mention his family and dermatologists. Vitilogo is the only reason why Michael put on heavy loads of makeup and looked very feminine looking during his “Bad” days. This was to even out his skin tone as the vitilogo was taking its toll. Also, the vitilogo was the only reason why he wore clothing that covered up his entire body from head to toe during his later years — he did not want anyone to see the patches of light/dark skin on his arms.
Anyways, Sosa was on Univision and gave an interview and said that he wasn’t trying to be white and he didn’t have a skin condition. He had years of sun damage to his skin and is using a special cream to rejuvinate his skin. The cream is from Europe and the reaction is what has given him his current look.
Sorry, but real life isn’t as sexy as you want it to be. Sometimes, you just have to accept things for what they are at face value. Life is boring, and MJ had vitilogo and Sosa is using a special cream which causes his light skin tone side-effects. Try not to read too much into it.
