Yes, she mostly talked about herself and critiqued everything like DVD commentary.

In a nutshell, she was such a bore I had to turn the station! I am shocked she did anything about Michael because she said he hurt children, even though there was no evidence. Oprah is desperate for ratings, her next move might be getting Chris Brown on her show.

I don't think she'll ever have CB. Especially after the way CB said he felt that O did him wrong over the Rihanna situation.

OFF-TOPIC: Didn't Tyra do a better MJJ tribute show yet?

why do you call him MJJ? i mean, i know his middle name and all but "MJJ"? do you call janet JDJ? or madonna MLC? lol sorry, just taking the piss...but its wierd that you call him MJ instead of just MJ.


MJ is also for Michael Jordan. So calling Michael Jackson "MJJ" is necessary here and there.

At least I don't called Prince "PRN", Mariah "MC" or Kylie "KM"!

Had I known Oprah was going to show the exact same show from 1993, I would have saved myself an hour. I thought she was gonna show out-takes that we didn't see or something. What a waste

The only reason why she did that show, was because "her people", thought it would be a nice gesture, after she made comments about why she wasn't going to. She said that she does not support people who are accused of child molesters and would not be doing a show on Michael. When I heard this, I was like, WTF? You do an interview with this man years ago when he was on the top of his game,(mind you, during the interview, she was sweating like a fat girl reading her first love letter). Now that he is gone, you're not gonna acknowledge his passing, until people suggest it to you?


What "people"? The only person close to Oprah is her girlfriend on the DL.....oops, I mean best friend Gayle King.

You guys suck so bad lol I think it would have been more fake for her to do some kind of reflection on his career like every other show has done. At the time it WAS a significant interview. & like she admitted - she did the intv & left it at that, so this really was her most obvious link to him. Anything else would have been fake but it doesn't matter b/c you mf's hate her no matter what she does lol At least it got me to watch parts of the intv again shrug
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

She is FULL of shit.


I will say what I said in other threads.

1-If the show was Not positive and Not negative then why the hell she is doing the show about him , I don't need her opinion ,she already said she lost compassion for him, why she is doing it, its unnecessary.

2-If the show was positive then she is one of the most hypocrite two-faced people I have ever seen, since she is changing her tone after his death.

3- if the show was negative then she really needs to get a life, the man is dead, there is no point in criticizing him, he is not going to hear her, he is gone, we already heard her opinion about him , she is using him as a tool for ratings.

It’s a no win situation for me, she is already on my shitty black list

Oh she will, when she suddenly remembers how she was in abusive relationship and how hard it was for her, and how she had struggled with it, and how she over came it, and how she so strong now, and she has a big talk show now and she is so important and she is go great and she had battle with her weight over it. and she was so upset about that and she is so proud of herself for overcoming that and she's so great and how she's so strong...etc

...and anyways I didn't ad this to my eailer reply to this post cause i was posting from my iphone,but in the orginal airing of that interview in 93 I think Michael sized Oprah up before the interview started. you could tell Michael kind of thought oprah was cold person..like she was freaked out by him or what have you.

Anyone else watch this? Is this worthy of it's own thread? Apologies if its not but:

Damn that show was horrid. It wasn't a tribute to MJ it was a tribute to Oprah as an interviewer. She talked about everything dealing with the interview but MJ himself.

Did anyone else notice how hard Oprah was working to not talk about MJ?



Cause it's Oprah. You can go her show talking about how your where raped and your children murdered and she'd just talk about herself. If Kanye West ever goes on her show the world with explode from their ego's clashing.

I lurve O, so I don't really see why she felt the need to do the show (other than ratings) when she already said she "lost compassion" for him. But of course, she's a media personality so it would be a strange move not to do it in a sense. Catch 22. I didn't watch it tho.

lowkey

i wasnt feeling her decision to do a show on him in the 1st place, oprah clearly thought he was quilty so why be phony and pay tribute to a man you felt was a criminal? she didnt have to comment on his death at all, she wasnt his friend, she didnt seem to really care for him so she should just keep her thoughts to herself. i hate how now that he's dead mj has all these 'friends' in the industry but when he was accused of a disgusting crime most of these friends distanced themselves completely.

Never have liked Oprah.

Has nothing to do with MJ. She just seems condescending and probably buys her own hype.

But what can you say? She's gotten rich as hell acting like that.

That show was an utter waste of time.

Do any of you remember when the 2nd round of Child Molestation charges were dropped from MJ's record, Oprah did a 2 part show on how she was "disgusted" and was defending the child?

Now, after he dies, she is praising how innocent and sweet he really was.

I love O, but this show was tacky.

*****

Never heard her say he was innocent yesterday. The vast majority of Americans feel as though he did it, but just paid several away, some before there were civil or criminal charges; one out of court settlement, and one acquittal.
Nevertheless - it is what it is. The great entertainer, the non-biological father, the holder of the biggest selling album world wide (THRILLER) and the only person I am aware that went from Black to White literally and beyond is now gone, may he R.I.P. and may Janet, Jermaine, LaToya, Tito, Randy and Joe shut up and move on.
In the Orca interview he told her he can count his plastic surgeries on two fingers, remember? So much for credibility.


I will say this, his blood related family and the three little White kids (that are not his) have more ($$$$) now, and will make more after probabte, than they ever have had in life.
Janet, discalimer, although there has been a spike in her catalog as well.

Oprah is and always has been all about herself. She never gave a damn about MJ and she damn sure could care less about Whitney. Oprah only cares about keeping them dollar bills.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I always thought that when he lied about his surgery, he was finding a nice way of saying "It's nobody's damn business".

As for the "three little white kids", I'm pretty sure the youngest kid is not white, and he looks a damn lot like his father.

I always hoped that Michael would just say "Yeah,I had plastic surgery....alot of it,in fact.It's what I wanted to do and I did it.It's my life....next question,please".

lol No need to lie about it,just be honest and have a "Fuck you" attitude about it.
