Despite everything, Jermaine is doing everything he can for his brother. He changed a lot. I'm actually starting to like him.

Michaels death would not bring guilt to the accusers father. To even do something like that in the first place shows what a sociopath he was, so I dont believe for one second he killed himself because he felt guilty about what he did. I think its just coincidence timing.

Yeah, overall I don't think he's a bad guy. Between him and Randy, Randy is the one i'm most creeped out by.

Why Randy? I like Randy much more then Jermaine. Whats Randy done worse?

This may be the first time I'm defending the other Jacksons but leave both Grease Man and Randy alone.

Correct me if I am wrong - but aren't the AMA's based on sales - thus what gave MJ the nods in the first place. I also think that Taylor's album outsold MJ's number one's this year so I don't see what the fuss is about.

As you all know I am a MJ fan, but I did think it was pushing the realms of reality to have him nominated - I understand the sales of Number Ones made him in the running and that is why he won the awards, but if sales are what got him nominated and what won him the awards, then I think it's unfair that people moan that he lost out to TS if she in fact outsold him.

What I found more interesting in the AMAs was that there wasn't an In Memory section which honours the musicians and producers that have past. I thought a nod to MJ on the night this way would have been more fitting.

Thoughts?

Didn't Michael sell 6 million records this year? Or am I wrong about that? I dont even know where I got that figure from but I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere. If he did, did Taylor Swift really sell more then that? I havent heard of artists selling that much these days

Swa said:

I understood his frustration,but I did'nt see why he got so angry with TS. She was not in charge of who,and who did not receive the awards,and when she won,she did pay her respects,and thanked Michael's family.

I thought I read somewhere recently that at the time of the voting Taylor Swifts Fearless had sold more copies than Michael's Number Ones (in the States). Which would make her the winner by right. I guess in this unusual situation they had to compare the sales of one record against the sales of another - and not that of an entire back catalogue.

The following is taken from Billboard: "Michael Jackson's "Number Ones" collection becomes the year's second-best-selling album. As the 2003 set moves another 114,000 this week—and retains the No. 1 spot on Top Comprehensive Albums—its total for the year adds up to 1.37 million. That moves it past the "Hannah Montana: The Movie" soundtrack (1.33 million) and Eminem's "Relapse" (1.31 million). Now, only Taylor Swift's "Fearless" (with nearly 1.5 million) stands in Jackson's way.

there u go, thanks

Swa said:

Oh ok I see how it works. Yes I guess it would be unfair to compare Michaels total album sales to the others individual cds. But does anyone know if you compare Michaels total cd sales to everybody elses total cd sales, is he the highest selling artist of this year?

Swa said:

That's why I didn't bitch about Taylor winning lol

Arnotts said:

Technically no, he's the highest-selling male artist of the year I think tho.

Timmy84 said:

I agree with what Jermaine is saying

Arnotts said:

Either way,his sudden suicide looks kinda suspicious and raises alot of questions.

Whatta man!

I'd say RIP Evan Chandler but I couldn't care less.
If he did make the whole thing up, I hope Satan is giving
it to him good. He deserves to suffer if he and his
twisted son made it up. As it stands now, I have no
sympathy for any of the Chandlers. Frauds.

Agree, you would have thought Evan Chandler would be relife at the death of MJ, not wanting to put a bullet in his head.

I know he was ill, but he was very ill well before MJ died. Dying some months after MJ is just a coincident, but it's the suicide that raises eyebrows, even if you truely believe MJ molested his son, you would ask yourself why committe suicide now.

Having said that Jermaine should watch what he says in public, unless he doesn't mind a lawsuite coming his way.

Who would file one? The looney tune who would killed himself.
Jordy is too much of a liar (probably) and a coward to do anything.
If he had anything worth saying, he would have came forward with some
guts in 2005. Instead, he just took his money and ran. Family of frauds.
I suppose the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

The only lawsuit Greasy Jermaine is going to get is from WD40 telling him to
stop slandering their product by applying too much to his greasy face. Oh yeah
and he will get a lawsuit from fans of Michael's and Janet's if he pushes Janet
into making an awful Jackson 5 album in Iran or wherever the hell he wants to
produce that garbage.
