I think with everything going on with the upcoming trial and the media trying to paint a picture of who Michael was, fans are just trying to know what happened. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that Michael died because of negligence and maltreatment, but you know how people can be when it comes to the Jacksons....

The majority of the fans on MJJC are pissed (when aren't they?!) but not all of us

I agree, let Oprah interview Gayle all she wants

Now all he need is his own coon channel and do his thing!

bboy87 said:

He truly is

Don't give him any ideas

At least Spike Lee movies actually get worldwide releases.

You know it's already in the works

Doesn't he have his own tax he calls "Tyler Perry tax"?

It's true though. All this stuff about Tyler Perry being this great entrepreneur in black cinema... well how come if anyone else wants to see his movies, they have to illegally download them? Great business sense there, right. They don't even go straight to DVD.

midiscover said:

The money goes to fund his fat suits, sunday wigs, and the male actors in his shows' companionship....

Ellie said:

Do directors control where their movies are distributed?

bboy87 said:

Why can't Perry just come out?

midiscover said:

I'll try not to.

I sorta like Oprah....BUT...this interview made me question her motives...I know that Janet agreed to talk about Mike...but "we all saw the Robin Roberts interview" and Oprah could have handled herself better..We know that she came on the show to promote "Why Did I Get Married Too"...so why did she keep talking about Mike and how Janet and the family is dealing with it?

Really Oprah...that was tacky...the elephant in the room was Mike..but ask once and let it go...how about asking about Janet's acting process and how she like Tyler as a director...as Oprah said "Tyler is a director, and Janet was the actress...I did not need to know that crew on the set "took care of her"..obviously they would/did...

Janet looked like she was ready to kick that bitches ass!!!!

No, but he's the producer and OWNS THE STUDIO.

Watching that 1998 Oprah interview, THAT was the Janet I was a fan of, and it was the last time she didn't completely infuriate me with ridiculous whispery giggles and ranting about sex all day long.

She could argue that she only answers what people ask her, but after the turn of the century, I genuinely think there was nothing interesting in her music or image so all there was was to dissect her dirty lyrics.

DAMN Oprah! What were you going for? A big breakdown full of tears? For her to continue to harp (no pun intended) on Mike like that, she was obviously going for the jugular. I was like, enough already! 16-20 mins Oprah? Really? What about the freakin movie? Janet is a consummate professional and all but she was quite generous that day.

Wow! I never saw that interview from '97. She really needed to put Op in her place. I'd like to think if Tyler wasn't close friends with Oprah, she might not have tolerated it as much. IDK. Is Janet that insecure now that she can't be the adult that she is, and put people in check? You can be professional and still enforce your boundaries. Her '97 interview is proof of that. Maybe she's still trying to get back in good graces with the American people. IDK.....

bboy87 said:

Janet can't go into detail (times, dates etc) of these interventions, cause there probably weren't any, the most hardcore MJ fans knew where he was at any given time and could prove her wrong straight away.

If Mike was that bad needing interventions and shit, he would not have had custody of those children, he'd have been ratted out for $'s by less trustworthy staff members. It's really that simple.

No, you're not. The last time MOL gave a shit about MJ and related stuff, she was a young innocent girl. I just don't care to persuade anyone anymore. I know I'm right, whether you do or not, is indifferent to me.

At the end of the day, she's lying. Like Mark said, hardcore fans can prove that to you word-by-word (which is something I've done at least 3 times in Prince.org, but you prefered to ignore and you know damn well why).

Slander the man's legacy with lies. Protect monsters like Randy, Joe and Jermaine and mentally handicapped people like Latoya while claiming MJ was a junkie.

I just have done my best to distance myself from the circus called Jackson. If his own fans reject to hear the facts (and Janet's claims certainly aren't facts like I've proved countless times), what else can I do? If his own family is transforming this into a big business what else can I do? So, sleepy-squeeky-or-whatever don't expect me to get involved in this, because I've run out of patience and my days don't allow me to waste time with the guy.

It's as simple as this: Michael will go down in history as a pedo-pervert-junkie-entertainer. Though I do not agree with this definition/conception (and could prove otherwise at any day of the week), that's the way people are gonna remember him. And I can't (nor do I want) change that. It's as simple as this. So, bottom line, stop saying my name! I've already written 3 posts proving that Janet is indeed lying. You know full well that I've done so, but your blinded eyes don't allow you to swallow that and I'm not going to waste my time writing them again. So, if you want an answer, go read them. Oh, you know what? You don't need to. This same Janet Jackson along with her family denied Michael was an addict one year and half ago. Justifying a relative's distance with calling him an addict is not so nice, but you can have it the way you want.

Apparently Janet didn't hate her that much to go on the show....

NastradumasKid said:

I know what U mean. I luv Janet but sometimes she appears confident and ready to put U in your place and kick your ass. But then there is the little girl innocent whispering Janet that won't hurt a fly. She has different sides of her.

Nice interview I think it went well. It shed a lot of light on her relationship with Michael in his latter days, they were close growing up and kinda fell by the wayside as they grew older.

It was interesting to hear Janet say she walked outta the room full of emotion because she has dealt with issues of drug addiction in her relationships in the past? I noticed she never said whether it was her or her counterpart. The character in the movie fits Janet to the tee.

I saw the movie last night and I thought the script was full of real life drama, and it was not all peaches and glory! I enjoyed the movie. I wonder if Tyler Perry has read any Lynn Harris books?

Chic35 said:

It was her counterparts. Both of her marriages was filled with drug addictions from her partners. The stories of Janet going to the hood late at night. Here in LA in her BMW looking for James Debarge were true.

murph said:

EXACTLY!

It must be a slap in the face to be there to promote your movie but all the host wanna talk about is your more famous sibling, gotta hurt!

If back in 97 Janet could say, 'I don't talk about my brother in interviews' what was stopping her from saying so now?

People will do what they need to do for themselves when it suits them I suppose.

Oh yeah,Why did i Get Married fits coonery to a tee but
Lil Wayne and TPain are the definitive role models we all should look
