why in god's name do they need another trust fund set up? is it so the money can be laundered to other family members since they can't manage to cheat it out of the estate? i'm sorry, but that woman does NOT need all this extra money- she has ten times more than enough and the estate is taking care of her AND paying off her 5 million dollar debts for god's sake. this is all bull. the greed is just absolutely mind-blowing. and these kids are being pushed to the front of it and starting to love the attention from the looks of it (at least the older two). poor blanket, no one seems to care about his feelings. awful

I wouldn't say ALL of that, I think Blanket can trust at least three people, two of them are his older siblings.

Yeah.

Blanket looks like his dad more than ever, with those sad eyes. He looked sad to me, and I teared up myself the minute I saw the close up pic of tears :*( I know they are all equally sad, but I feel the most for him. It was so unsettling to me 2 years ago that I was using writing to express my pain over his death, and it took his death and blanket crying for my writer's block to go away.

Yeah he looks just like him

I can't believe some people think he's not his child

He acts like him to. Great to see Michael's spirit living on.

that's exactly what's happening. apparently the bros are doing another tribute in tokyo. what do you wanna bet that the kids will be contractually bound to appear at that one like they were at this one? the family plays on the ignorance and gullibility of mj's kids, and are using the kids' mj-related fame to get themselves back into the spotlight. practically everywhere you look with this family, that's what's happening. they get to have 'mj-level' attention, without the 'pesky bother' of having to deal w/mj himself. jermaine had been saying FOR YEARS that mj was going to be touring w/his bros. well, now he will, in a way, against his will, and there is nothing he can do to stop them. for the bros part, they no longer have to deal w/the real mj turning them down.

mj's death has been the absolutely second best thing that ever happened to the family in general, the first being that mj was born into it. i know that's a harsh thing to say. sure, they likely feel sadness that he's gone, but they were all facing an uncertain future. whatever financial problems mj had, he had a way out of them through his talent. the brothers had spent up all their money, the parents had spent up all of theirs. mj would have likely had to bail everyone out again, but i doubt it would have been to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars like they're making now. they're striking while the iron is hot. in a couple of years, they will fade back into obscurity. hopefully this time, they'll invest their money.

i think people are less sure on blanket than the other two, because at least he's obviously ethnic. but you have to admit, it's hard to buy it overall. i'd be shocked if the other two were his. i just don't think it's true

He is the only one of the three who actually looks like him and fits in well with the Jackson family. Btw Jaafar, Jermaine Jackson son, reminds me so much of MJ when he was around 14.

I pooped a dildo today.

What about Debbie Rowe?

Don't push it!

Yeah, that.

I was hoping she would be the one to sing this, cause Dirrty sounded inspired by Dirty Diana slightly. She did really well, but sounded so tired in the end.

Good job of it.

This looks like it was shot from high on the side (behind the stage) and you'd only have those seats if it was a sellout. Any actual figures? I've heard 40,000 and 50,000 with 50,000 deeming it a sellout for that stadium.

I'm also sure 90% Paris and Prince are not the biological children of MJ.
But Blanket likely yes.

I read somewhere that Michael invited professor from Oxford 1-2 years before he died, who helped him with upbringing children.
The professor said he was confident that the Blanket - a native son, because he and Michael on the same wavelength, they have a very strong relationship.

Regarding the children. Prince and Paris are obviously not MJ's biological children. Even Dr Klein looks more like them than Michael.

Blanket is probably not Michael's biologically either although I'd give it a little chance he is his child biologically. How can anyone believe a black man would have two white and one hispanic looking kid out of 3 possible? Let alone their ethnic features. The only one that evan remotely looks like MJ is Blanket.

This is what MJ's own lawyer Robert Sanger said during the trial in 2005:

"The circumstances that relate to the birth of the children wouldn't be admitted for the truth of the matter. Only his love of the children."

There you have it folks. Read that again.

This is actually great. Love it.

Regarding the MJ forever tribute. I'd say it went well judging by the reviews (I've read about 10 mostly positive) and the fact that around 50,000 showed up which is much more than most people expected. Congratulaions to the organizers. I thought it would be cancelled.
