The things that happened to Michael were unfortuate, but it was because of the people he was dealing with on a professional level, managers, lawyers, etc. Everybody sued Michael at one point, I don't remember one case filed against him from family members.

Really?

Randy didn't sue, but testified against Michael in 2006.
Joe was sueing Michael in 2007, 2008 and early 2009.

Joe and the siblings are now sueing Michael through Leonard Rowe. Remember the 300 millions lawsuit against Michael's estate? Read the lawsuit. Oh wait...TMZ deleted the siblings' and Joe's name 2 hours after the document was put online.
Go figure.

Still, it was Joe (along with Leonard) who was sueing Michael and threatening to boycott TII, back in May.

You know, I really don't understand how it is supporting the family to attend a court hearing regarding Conrad Murray. This idea, that seems to be par for the course right now, trips me out, and leads me down the following path...

Of the perplexing behavior from this family, perplexing for years, finger pointing seems to be one of their favorite stock moves. It is a move without clear and real meaning, and without any indication of true intention. In Michael’s absence the brothers and Joe seem to be left with no alternative but acting out with poor behavior that often seems financially or publicity motivated. They do not seem to have weathered the storm that was being the Jackson Five very well, and have become a severely dysfunctional family. The interventions the family staged for Michael went no where. In a dynamic driven by Randy's narrative where the family deflects any responsibility for Michael's death and points fingers at others, MJ fans could easily suggest that Michael was not supported by his family. They did not support their brother because Michael would not give them real access to his life? They did not support their brother because they really didn't care about Michael? Yeah, that seems absurd to me, too. But if the Jackson family is going to throw bull out into the public arena, they are inevitably going to have to catch some, too.

Sadly, I think Wanda Sykes is not off the mark when she says in her stand up act, “Michael Jackson died of Michael Jackson.” We can point fingers at a direct target, such as Conrad Murray. We could do the same finger pointing with Pepsi Cola and the director of the incendiary TV commercial, and every Doctor that subsequently treated him. Other direct targets could be Joe Jackson and Katherine Jackson, and on and on. In the end it is so much more complex that saying “Conrad Murray killed Michael Jackson.” Michael Jackson exercised his Civil Liberties to pursue Doctors and acquire illegal drugs in a predatory manner. Michael was a grown and informed man at this point in his life. Conrad Murray was simply a greedy pawn in a very sad historic event. He will be in a constant punishment state over his role in the death of Michael Jackson for the remainder of his life, regardless of what the court deals out to him.

For me, a piece of my heart “died of Michael Jackson.” …can’t wait to get home and listen to some Off The Wall.

There is no excuse for allowing your 55 year old son to continue living with you, especially one with no source of income. She should be ashamed of herself.

Did she and Joe really break up, or is that just a front? Seems like she can't get enough of that man, and I can see why. They deserve eachother. Perfect match. neutral


She still loves him, aparently. Besides, she used to give him some of the money Michael used to give her. He used her to sweeten' Michael and, according to reports, Joe ordered her to beg her son/cry to her son to put his family in AEG's payroll. Joe knew she manipulated him easily and, therefore, took advantage of her by forcing her to "cry" or beg something to Michael.

I can only imagine:
Joe: "Kate, I need money. You're going to cry in front of Michael so that he will do what you want. If that doesn't result, guilt him into giving you as much money as he has."
Kate: ...*in love*
Joe: "Train the way you cry. It has to look convincing."

What kind of mother lets her 5 years old son be exploited? Remember when Michael said that even if he had spent the entire day sick, in a bed, Joe would force him to perform for hours, at night?
What kind of mother lets her child be abused in every way?
What kind of mother takes advantage (or let her sons and husband take advantage) of her child?
Yet, she still has the nerve to excuse Joe's behaviour. Remember the Jacksons: American Dream? The part in which Kate tells Michael he should do exactly what joe wants because he "is the reason why you're famous" and "because he had a master plan for you".
What kind of mother deceives her own child in order to let her husband leech off of him?

Yup; she's as bad as Joe, Jermaine, Randy and Latoya.


MOL ur doing too much :disbelief that mother just lost her child,i don't know what the jacksons did to you but your personal vendetta is getting ridiculous. if you don't like them don't come in the family thread.

in early 2009 or late 2008, the family denied that mj was on drugs and that they had been involved in interventions. they've conveniently changed their story in the wake of mj's death when there's money to be made in scandal. there is no evidence that mj was on illegal drugs (you would know that if you had bothered to read the autopsy) and the person who is saying he gave his informed consent to receiving the propofol is dr. murray, who has a reason to put all of the blame on mj. one can only give their 'informed consent' if one is informed. we don't know what dr. murray told mj with respect to dr. murray's ability to administer drugs appropriately; still, it seems clear that he told mj that he knew what he was doing. but the circumstances of mj's death - the lack of appropriate equipment, the overconcentration of the sedatives dr. murray gave him - points to the fact that dr. murray did *not* know what he was doing, and further, that he tried to save his own butt by withholding information from the authorities.

I'll post this again so ya'll see it this time lol

http://www.jackson5abc.co...?newsid=57

Vibrations Magazine : Could you talk about the unreleased songs by the Jackson 5 which are still sleeping in the vaults?

Harry Weinger : (He takes out a CD stack from the drawer: Jackson 5 Rare Number 1, Jackson 5 Rare Number 2, Jackson 5 Live At The Forum) : The Corporation made, with the Jackson 5, a superb cover version of "Mama Told Me Not To Come ", a song which, at that time, was competing with a song by the Jackson 5 for the top of the charts. "Mama Told Me Not To Come" is very touching because it tells the story of kids who are at a party they should not be, and then someone tells them a dirty thing: "We have stolen your keys! You can't go! " And the boys lament: "My mother will kill me, I habe to go home, Mama told me not to come." "Mama Told Me Not To Come" spotted number 1 which was formerly by "The Love You Save" by the J5, hence the idea of them recording a cover version.

I mentioned "If I Can not Nobody Can not" part of the tracks that have filtered from internet before I was in charge. "Would You Would You Baby" which is in the vaults under a different title, "Love Trip", "Making Life A Little Easier For You", another song from The Corporation. There is also a cover of "What's So Good About Goodbye" sung originally by the Miracles.

On our CD I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters there is a song titled "Love Call", for which we also have another version with the same instrumental, but with completely different lyrics, and re-recorded a few months later when Michael's voice was being transformed, which probably explains it was never released. This version is incredible, but we had to make a choice for the CD and our small committee chose the first version of "Love Call".

Next year, maybe we will release an expanded version of the CD and we'll put the second version of "Love Call" for people to compare.

As for the "Live At The Forum", there are two shows, recorded in 1970 and 1972, which are quite different. In 1970, the songs were longer, the group talked between songs, they last night, while in 1972 they had more hits like "Sugar Daddy" or "Mama's Pearl" and Michael sang his own songs, along with Jermaine.

Michael Jackson's Mother to Attend Press Conference to Announce International Fan Convention in Hometown of Gary, Indiana
Katherine Jackson will attend the press conference announcing the first International King of Pop Fanvention where thousands will come to honor Gary, IN native son Michael Jackson

Gary, IN (PRWEB) February 24, 2010
Katherine Jackson, the mother of the late entertainer Michael Jackson will be in attendance at a press conference to announce the first annual International King of Pop Fanvention on March 9, 2010 at 10 a.m.(CST). The press conference will be held at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza, in the Star Plaza Theatre, 800 E. 81st Avenue in Merrillville, IN. The hotel is just 10 minutes from the childhood home of Jackson.
.
The Fanvention will take place during the weekend of August 26 – 29, 2010. The event, organized by Fluid Productions, LLC in partnership with the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in Merrillville is expected to attract over ten thousand enthusiastic Michael Jackson fans from around the world to celebrate Jacksons’ legacies of humanity, love for the environment and music. Donald Thompson, event director, said “This is the only event of its kind in the world because it is the only event that will be held so close to his boyhood home. We felt that Indiana was the perfect place to host an event that will highlight Michael’s life and music. It just makes sense. It all began here.”


The Fanvention, which is a combination of the words “fan” and “convention”, will include autograph and photo sessions with people that worked with and knew Michael. Members of the Jackson family will be in attendance and will participate in question and answer sessions about Michael. A dance party and gala are also scheduled. Tours will also run to the Jackson family home throughout the weekend. Vendors will be on hand to sell memorabilia and collector’s items. A special salute to Jackson will be performed by young entertainers from the northwest Indiana area on Sunday.

Janet Jackson To Join Jacksons Tour,According to Jermaine Jackson
Tuesday February 23, 2010

With the statement, "We had a conference call and Janet has agreed to join us on tour," Jermaine Jackson indicated Janet Jackson has decided to join her brothers on a world reunion tour later this year. She frequently denied in the past that she would join her brothers on stage. However, in the wake of the tragic death last year of Michael Jackson, it is believed that she thinks joining her brothers would be a fitting tribute. Late last week producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins released a new Janet Jackson song, "Heartbeat Love," to the Internet. It has been very well received by fans.
