All 3 are 100 percent..........FAKE!

The one with the Virgin pass...that wasnt even the style of signing at the time.  I will find one I know is genuine as comparison during the signing in November 2001.

Thanks for your input. I was pretty sure the two white ones were fakes, but was really wondering about the red one.

In my opinion, I believe the top (first) Michael Jackson signature has Potential Of Being Genuine. The other (middle and last) Michael Jackson signatures are Not Genuine. 

The first one, in my opinion is either similar to a forgery style by a very good forger created and sold in Europe (possibly in France or United Kingdom) or an authentic Michael Jackson signature. I found a similar signature style on another Invisible album:

This particular seller sold this same item twice, but both times buyers have backed out of their purchases. I would wait for more opinions. I’m leaning toward this one being a forgery, especially now that I found the listing and the seller’s username.

I agree with Prashant Kaushik

all 3 are not authentic

the first I asked Beckett for a quick opinion and that was the answer, see photo

The red one was close but look closely:

On the M and the loop.  If you look at the orange one I posted the tips of M and loop have a slight lift of pressure at the end.  The one on the red one slows down but no lift of the pen.

Also, the loop is too condensed.  The orange one has more of a flow and wider.

Lastly, the up and down squiggles are more uneven in his genuine signature on the orange cover.  On the red, it's slowed down and too even between the bumps.

I won't mention all the points why I think the first one looks fake even though it shows potential (even to me) because a lot of the forgers read these forums. But one of the key points is how focused and precise the autograph seems, like the person concentrated to get it just right. Too rigid in my opinion.

Dany,

Can I guess...or to the original poster, is that red one from KnaiszAuctions?
