Imagine you love your husband endlessly yet he avoids being with you, goes on trips all the time with children, sometimes does things that make it seem as if he is using you and then, before the marriage ends, impregnants other women. Then you try your best to comeback to him and he repels you.

How would you feel?

I don't blame Lisa one bit.

MJ said all he wished was to be loved. Yet, he received plenty of it from Lisa and simply ignored it.

MOL said:

Well, she did indirectly imply it. If you read her first message on her blog about Michael soon after his passing, she does imply that he went out the same way her father did (who died of drug overdose). She said "he knew" because he once told her that he MIGHT go out like her father did. This was a premature assumption to make because it was revealed that Dr. Murray administered the drug and Michael didn’t want to die - he wanted to live and succeed. She knew the post-1993 and pre-1999 MJ, she doesn’t who he was before and after that period.

Let me guess, you read the Taraborelli book and think you know their marriage? I agree about not blaming her for being angry with him because he would get up and leave. Then again, I don’t think it’s appropriate for Lisa to go on vacation to Hawaii with her ex-husband while she’s still married to Michael - do you? They were arguing non-stop and already separated when she dropped her "I change my mind. I don’t want a baby with you anymore" bomb. Besides, if she’s so angry with him, why did she chase his ass around 2 years after their divorce? Since then, she has been in a relationship, then engaged, then in another relationship, then engaged, then married again, and then in another relationship and then married again. Don’t tell me she’s still hurt after all those years when she clearly seemed to forgive him post-divorce in 1997-98. I find it interesting that she badmouthed him mostly when the allegation charges came up in 2003. So was Lisa really upset about the marriage or was she just playing along with everyone else on hating on Michael since it was cool to do so? Yeah, I think it’s the latter.

You're probably the one who read the Taraborrelli book. Hey (!), I couldn't care less about conjectures; that's what Randy does in his book: conjectures without proof. Besides, I have more to do than read little books on MJ by people who know nothing about him. That's Randy's case. Even I know more than him. And you probably do too. Try Baltasar and Blimunda.

Yes, she did go along with the haters and she obviusloy has an emotional mental problem. She doesn't like men; she NEEDS men. She needs someone by her side to feel complete, to have a male orientation with her (something she never got since her father died early). She is not exactly, err normal either. Now, do I blame her for not having Michael's babies? NO! The marriage was not stable (you admitted to it), so why would she bring a child to an unstable marriage? She did the right choice.

Another thing: GOING TO HAWAI WITH YOUR EX-HUSBAND???

If so, the woman REALLY needs therapy.

MOL said:

I agree about not having babies when in an unstable marriage. If they did have a baby, it would be the most epic custody battle in history. Presley vs. Jacksons. You bet race would be thrown in that one.

I love that site. I seem to remember reading a post from there saying Teddy and Mike tried working on the song around 1990/1991 but who knows? Seems most likely it was from the "dangerous" sessions given the newjack flavour it has. Infact, I think I remember reading years ago that Teddy was abit pissed off at Mike at the time of the single release of "blood..." because he said it was old and dated by then. Who knows?

babybugz said:

How? He left her, not the other way around. He wanted children she wouldn't/couldn't give him. Unless you mean she should have remained supportive after the divorce? If so, that's not always easy for women to do. Most become resentful, like she did. Again, I don't know.

I forgot that Prince has it too, but it won't be as bad for him cause he had fairer skin anyways right?

alphastreet said:

Wrong. My sister has Vitiligo,hers started showing bad around age 10. She's 'white' and her legs are Bone White from Vitiligo..that's not a regular skin tone for the majority of any race. Vitiligo leaves No Color for your skin -it depigmentates your skin color leaving No Color. She was always so scared to wear shorts in summer cuz her legs had huge bone white patches etc She had a hard time with it. So if Prince has it I wish him luck & strength. Cause the disease is Hard for anyone, Period.

WaterInYourBath said:

LMP didn't say anything that could help Murray's case. She said MJ had no control over his life and magnetized vampires around him. She never mentioned, directly or undirectly, drug use. Never.

MyLuv229 said:

Oh,I apologize if my message came off as rude. I know how some Presley supporters can be, especially when they act like they know what their relationship was like. But that's his resting place. Fans love him. They love him in every appropriate way and send whatever they feel is appropriate because they were with him all these years (as oppose to some people) and paid close attention to him.

LOS ANGELES, May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jackson 5: J5 Live @ The Forum is a new 2-CD set released June 22 that uncovers an amazing chapter from the phenomenal career of Michael Jackson and his brothers in the J5: their extraordinary performances from the Los Angeles Forum, recorded in June 1970 and August 1972—the first at the start of their rapid ascent to stardom, the second when they became established icons. These brilliant shows have not been released in any form until now, the 40th anniversary of the 1970 show.

J5 Live @ The Forum features earth-shaking live performances of the group's best-known hits – "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," "I'll Be There," "Never Can Say Goodbye" and more. Single B-sides "I Found That Girl" and "I'm So Happy" and such surprises as album cuts "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Zip A Dee Do Dah," plus songs not released by the J5, including covers of James Brown's "There Was a Time" and the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing," are part of the shows. The 1972 show also features a fantastic, full set of Michael's solo hits, including "Got To Be There" and "Ben," his brand new single at the time, as well as a solo spot by Jermaine.

Disc 1 includes the complete Forum show recorded June 20, 1970, when the group broke existing box office records at the venue. The J5 were on their first national tour, and the show is a unique document of the growing "Jacksonmania" gripping the globe. Disc 2 is the complete show from August 26, 1972, just three days before Michael's 14th birthday. Each disc includes a bonus track: an unreleased full live version of "Mama's Pearl," from the concert that became part of the 1971 TV special Goin' Back To Indiana, closes Disc 1; "I Wanna Be Where You Are," from the soundtrack album to Save The Children, makes its CD debut at the end of Disc 2.

J5 Live @ The Forum is housed in a collector's digi-pak with rare photos and insightful liner notes.

New Blog from Lisa Marie

Greetings MJ Fans....

While visiting him a few days ago at Forest Lawn , Riley and I couldn't help but notice that , while there are a few bouquets , candles and gifts there is a very large empty space around him and in front of him that could use a whole lot more.
While , I am sure that the staff at The Holy Terrace do their very best to place what is sent and what is placed at the door at his tomb , I thought you might like to know that he would want and deserves more than what is there and I had an idea.....
Some may or may not know this but his favorite flower was the Sunflower.
They made him happy because they looked happy to him , Thus, he called them "The Happy Flower".
When we were married , I would try and fill up rooms with them wherever he was.
I wanted to bring something to place near him that he liked and that wouldn't die so I brought a large vase of silk sunflowers and placed them near him.
This barely made any kind of dent in the atmosphere so I thought of maybe letting those who care know what the situation is and how we can solve it.
I know how much he loved and appreciated being showered with Gifts and flowers by his fans , I thought if whoever wants to bought just one silk sunflower each and sent it , the whole area around him and in front of him (As well as the two large empty vases that sit on either side of him) could be filled up in no time , which would be much more appropriate than what the current status is right now.
We can all cause a "Sun shower" if you will.....
He deserves to be flooded and surrounded , LETS SURROUND HIM!
Lots of Love,
~LMP
