I would never buy or wear the "Thriller" pair. Oh my goodness no.

I'd pick the 4th pair if his name wasn't spelled wrong. But I don't really want any of these new shoes like this. I received the best MJ sneakers years ago.

wrong...just wrong I frequent sneaker blogs and if these weren't around prior to his passing then it's just making a quick buck. I know awhile back I saw some Purple Rain AF1'S but the art was hideous.

I don't know, there were tons of MJ stuff like this before his passing, my friend has some.

I've seen several MJ designs on blogs before Michael passed

Farrakhan Gives Speech On The Crucifixion’of Michael Jackson
July 26




On Sunday, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered a speech in Chicago from Mosque Maryam about the death of superstar, Michael Jackson.

The speech, entitled “The Crucifixion of Michael Jackson and All Responsible Black Leadership” was broadcast live via world wide webcast from the Nation of Islam Web site.

In his speech, Farrakhan spoke of how he counseled the King of Pop during times of deep depression and how the singer revealed to him he never had a childhood.

“When he met with Shirley Temple Black, they both sat down and cried together, because Shirley Temple Black was a childhood star that I remember as a little boy and you know, when you’re gifted like that, you don’t have a childhood,” said Farrakhan.

Jackson spoke to Farrakhan of the tumultuous relationship he had with his father, Joe Jackson, and the minister told him, “…don’t be angry with your father because even though you didn’t have pillow fights and sleepovers, those who had pillow fights and sleepovers—they’re the ones buying your records… You had a purpose for your life.”

Minister Farrakhan spoke of Jackson’s “This Is It Tour” and said “Michael was on his way to the cross, because Michael had touched the hearts of people all over the world. Michael touched the hearts of every race, every culture, every ethnic group, every tribe.”

According to ABC News, Jackson had several ties to the Nation of Islam. He used members of the Nation as bodyguards during his trial for child molestation charges and his brother, Jermaine Jackson, converted to Islam in 1989.

This was the last time he had his normal 90’s face. Sometime after this he did something that I still can’t put my finger on

Really? The major change was obvious to me immediately: His top lip was altered.

Is anyone watching The Michael Jackson Story on TVOne? I'm watching and was surprised to hear Katherine Jackson say that when Michael was 17 and the Epic Execs told her that the other brothers should start saving their money because Michael was going solo. She said she told them no and when they questioned her saying that Michael didn't need them. She says she told them no because they needed him. That sent an eerie chill up my spine and I can't help it but I'm viewing Katherine very differently right now.

She didn't want the boys to be broken up, especially at the time when the family's ground was shaky (Goin Places didn't sell that well, The variety show had been cancelled)

I missed it but I'll catch the replay. Right now I'm reading the Jackson Family Values book. I don't quite know what to make of these people...Katherine included.

babynoz said:

I was like that too after I read the full book.

babynoz said:

I swear the more I'm learning about them, I can't decide who annoys me the most!

seeingvoices12 said:

I agree! I have no intention of buying any of these shoes,I just thought that the artistic talent that went into designing them was pretty cool.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

i forgot,was it worth watching?

Timmy84 said:

i didn't even notice

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Wow I missed that one

babynoz said:

What's exactly is the problem?

mimi07 said:

@ NONONONONONO how awesome I had to turn this off it sounds like he's in my house


I would love to hear Prince's vocal scale practice

mimi07 said:

Awkward!

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

I don't see anything wrong with that, and plus MJ wasn't ready to be without his brothers at that time.

Also, after Goin' Places failed, they basically had to have a great alum, or all of them would have been dropped from the label.

Michael's story would've been really different if they were dropped from CBS and had he agreed to leave them at the time. He did the right decision at the time. Besides MJ didn't wanna leave yet.
