I also like Jackie! He is soooo hot and always defends his little brother! I'm starting to like Jermaine: he is doing everything he can in order to help Michael's legacy. Just watch his interviews; Jerm talks about Michael as a humanitarian and ALWAYS defends his brother in EVERYTHING, in his interviews. I love the Larry King interview. I started liking Jermaine when I saw that. He defended Michael tooth and nail.

It's a damn shame though that some of the Jacksons have ruined alot of that goodwill that came their way in the immediate aftermath of MJ's death.

Mike's family never wanted him to be a solo artist, though.

MOL said:

Jermaine should've organized his tribute concert better than he did tho. smh

Why is Latoya calling her brother a drug addict everywhere she goes? Did you hear her saying that Michael "chose his kids from a catalogue"? Besides...have you seen her claiming Michael lied about Joseph Jackson and that her father was incredible and just spanked Michael because he was "spoiled and very different"?

But we mostly ignored all that shit and consistantly put him top5 in the singles chart post '93. hence, 'This Is It' was going down in London.

I honestly think he fell out with his own country.

yep. england fans especially london fans are the best mj fans. I mean you had these fans come from all across the globe with some of mj's "friends" living down the street and they couldn't even support him.

Do i detect sarcasm?

Doesn't negate the fact MJ felt hurt and let down by the United States. With good reason IMHO.

MOL said:

Cause LaToya is a big contradiction, wasn't she the one who claimed Joe molested her?

LaToya is all about the money. Remember she spent 2 nights in Michael's house after he died. What did she take?

Marrk said:

Seriously, Americans were being so self righteous during his accusations.. It is so true.

But then again us Americans are the first to judge another.

sag10 said:

there's no use qoting latoya from 1988-1996 remember she had her absuive husband who "forced" her to say and do alot of things

mimi07 said:

La Toya has no reason to be so affected by fame, my feeling is she should probably be in a rubber room. For some reason, i do quite like her still. I find her antics funny at times.

Marrk said:

i was agreeing with you mark and i wasn't being sarcastic

Randall is simply mean! Totally!

He was such a cute kid, but now he's bald and fat.

Jermaine used to look good in the 70s, but his hairdo sucks nowadays.


What about Rebbie? She seems to be sane.

And Marlon Jackson? I thought he was nice too!?

sag10 said:

what do u mean by this.

America is one huge country and sometimes the haters have the loudest voices but there were a lot of Americans who were very happy with the verdict.

MJ might have felt let down by his own country but in all honesty there was factions of Americans who always supported him.

MyMyMy said:

there wasn't. most of the american public thought he was guilty. The only americans that supported michael when he was alive was most of the music artists in the music industry and the black community (a lot of them however turned their backs on him).

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

Just what is says.

sag10 said:

you thought that americans were self righteous by believing his guilt without hearing the facts first?

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

is there THE American?

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

Oh OK. I didn't read it right. I couldn't get tix for the gigs and i live 'down the street' so i thought it was a dig at me.

i do apologise.

Marrk said:

its ok. i do think his england fans are the best though.

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

Just say the Americans you know thought he was guilty. A lot of people I know didn't. Maybe some members of the black community turned their backs on Michael but when the verdict was announced, even BET showed a marathon of his videos either that day or over the weekend (can't remember). I personally don't believe that the black community, in general, turned their backs on Michael. But regardless, they did not want to see him go to jail.

MyMyMy said:

let me rephrase the majority of white americans thought he was guilty

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

What it was UK tabloids that started the wacko jacko. anyways i asked this question because i was wondering about true suporters of Michael through out the years and 'fans' getting along seems like some have found it hard to see eye to eye lately but i guess when you bring a country into it the discussion will come to media because well this whole world is 'live' 24/7

people of all race creeds etc around this world turned on MJ at some point.

this post isnt directec at you bootylicious.. just replying

but damn this world is full of racism driscrimnation hatered no one seems to care about peace n love and thats one reason i wish michael was still around.

sorry sweetie but the majority of those people were americans. they ran him out of his own country.

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

i disagree with you. i am not talking about They i was talking about Fans
MJs own Fans did not run him out of his homeland.
[Edited 11/10/09 14:12pm]

MJ had/has fans everywhere, he still had a big fan base in America at the time of his death.

If anything, Michael just wanted to get away, he didn't get driven out. It was his choice to go to Bahrain (after Jermaine told him or convinced him it was a good place) and his choice afterwards to go to Japan and Ireland. He was only away from the U.S. in a year anyways. He died IN America.

he died in California, not America.
