Well I do agree with some of the article, I dont feel that the Michael and Prince issue are the same. Now Jermaine Jackson has rushed to the aide of his brother and lashed out against anyone who has said that Mottola is not a racist. He is publically ripping anyone who defends mottola and disagrees with Jackson, he says that comedians Robin Williams and Dennis Miller have no right to make jokes about Michael (free country last time i checked), Singer Ricky Martin has said he has never seen evidence of racism with Mottola, and Mariah Carey who was married to Mottola has said that Mottola is no way even close to being a racist and has warned Michael to stop using her name in statements that he makes since she has not spoken to Michael at all, (i would love it if Mariah sued Jackson, I mean she got 53 million for Glitter an album that sold 700,000 copies, hows that for math). Jermaine also points out that no artist has gotten behind Michael in his fight, gee i wonder why. Did Michael help Prince back in 1993- in his fight to just have the freedom to put out albums when he wanted too. No one has defended Michael because he is wrong, dead wrong. Mottola is not a racist, if he was someone would have spoken up alot sooner and we know thats true. Also it seems Michael can say what he wants and no one can have an opinion, let Michael sue sony see where that gets him. If Michael was a smart person he would have just done as others have done (such as Radiohead, Pearl Jam) become some kind of a leader in a fight. Pearl Jam was able to release 78 live albums in stores in the course of 3 months. Michael could have been a leader but he is not, when he was with Motown, all of those artists got ripped off, great songs and nothing in the bank to show for it. Well Berry Gordy made out well in the Motown game, but Michael never lashed out against him did he. Michael didnt defend Diana or Smokey when all of their masters are gone or Marvin and Stevie the 2 greatest ever, did Michael speak up for them, no he didnt, because hes not a leader. Thats the difference between PRINCE and MICHAEL, Prince always talks about other artists and fighting for their rights, for MICHAEL its all about me (AS MYA SINGS, sorry shes too hot), and MY ALBUM and MY SALES. Michael do yourself a favor STOP NOW!!! what few people still think you have something to offer are fastly disappearing
