All I'm saying is that we don't know what Joe is going through
and Yes, that photo is from x17online.com
I think it's wonderful that he's smiling
It means he's copping well

his voice was really deep right

Oh my....



Many people take death differently! Some cry, others don't and some even laugh! Believe it or not! Some cultures even celebrate death!

suga10 said:

Well there is that DEEP voice he has. But the videos don't show much different. Michael's just a little lighter in the '96 one, lol.

when someone loses their smile and laugh they need to be locked way

I think Jermaine was more so laughing at Larry King's reactions to being told about Michael's tree.

People must think i'm the worst kind of crazy because i greeted most everyone with a kind smile and there were even times we laughed at the viewings for both my grandparents over the past 2 years.

I think it just changes with comfort level. Janet does it too.

You're right. But I just feel as long as he doesn't talk, lol, he'll be cool. Also knowing how well his "business deals" go, maybe that was his last attempt of giving the leeches what they want, lol.

matthewgrant said:

Exactly. I've heard them react differently when they were comfortable. Michael always had that high voice because he was petrified of how people would perceive him.

Joe isn't the only smiling .....


Latoya leaving Janet's house today
She's so horrid looking!

I hope it doesnt get crazy downtown. Im anxiously awaiting the email, in hopes that I get picked to attend. LAPD is pretty strict, so i'm sure they'll have everything under control

ViintageJunkiie said:

I surely hope so.

trueiopian said:

Now that's funny.

I know I keep posting this, but I can't bear to go through 50 pages. Is there any news of a Melbourne memorial? I know there was a crappy tiny one the other day.

Will the staples center memorial be broadcast on Aussie tv?

I'm aware that everyone grieves differently & no one really knows what's up from the outside. But Janet made 1 appearance & was very stoic, said a few words & bounced. She wasn't on the red carpet smiling & actin' a fool, & while I haven't seen any of Jermaine's intvs I doubt he's been inappropriate & he is the family spokesperson after all, so he's been required to speak lately. Their reactions are very different from Joe's. If you can't see that, you might be Joe Jackson on 'nis mf

I am deeply saddened by the death of MICHAEL JACKSON. I was shocked when I heard the news on the radio. I immediately called my brother, sister and then my mom to confirm the news. No one knew for sure, but we hoped it wasn’t true. As more and more news sources confirmed the report, my heart sank. How could MICHAEL JACKSON be gone so soon and so suddenly?

I was a fan, like all of you. MICHAEL JACKSON’S music was like a backdrop to my life. I remember excitedly sitting in front of the TV with my sisters to watch the THRILLER video air for the first time. I was frightened by the scary make up, but also in awe of the dance moves and the fact that it was more of a movie than any music video I had ever seen. I remember when PYT was my favorite, watching The Wiz for the first time, when my mom participated in WE ARE THE WORLD and when I SCREAMED along with Janet and Michael.

I’m lucky enough to also have wonderful memories of meeting MICHAEL JACKSON, which I will cherish in my heart forever. I remember gorging on candy in his “candy room” at the ranch. I remember Michael dancing with my mom on stage and even better dancing in my living room with my little brother. My favorite memory is singing to him on the phone. I was so proud that I knew the words. “Mama say, mama sa, mama kusa,” I sang as he giggled on the other end.

In my eyes, Michael was a kind, sweet, youthful man. I never believed any negative allegations and I will continue to defend him when people make jokes. I was shocked and saddened beyond belief that even in his death, people can continue to say negative, mean things. My heart goes out to the family and to the kids. This is so very sad ☹

I'm curious - what would this "memorials around the world" thing be like? I mean, do you really want them carting the dude's body all around the world? Or would it just be a gathering of people? I don't get it. How important is it for fans to be able to say goodbye really?
