They way i grew up you don't back talk adults. She is not an adult yet no matter how much a free spirit she is. Back talking Auntie Janet was a no no! Sadly the power she has allows her to do that..I hope she makes it to 21 with no scandal. But not with that smart mouth of hers...

She is lot like her mother..

I don't know what century you lived in, but there's nothing wrong in wanting to decide what happens in your life even if you're young. I hope the best for Paris and I know she won't get in the mess Janet did at 18 and marrying the first boyfriend she has sex with, that also happened to be a drug addict.

What's wrong with being an indepedant woman? I might not like Debbie Rowe, but I don't know her personally and people say she's a sweet and smart woman, so that's not something negative...

It is nothing wrong with deciding what you want at an early age. But talking back to adults at 15 is disrespectful. Since you want to bring Janet in this. Janet doesn't want her in entertainment like she was, that exposed her early to dirty things too young. Also you don't know what mess Paris is going to get into. She is still just 15.

You may call it mess that Janet got into at 18. But look at her now! She has had a very successful career "drug free" & is now married to a billionaire. All because she respected & honored her parents.

The bible says

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. (2) “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), (3) “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” (4) Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Proverbs 23:13-14 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.

I definitly agree.

Any teen would have did what Paris did. Randy was the one that leaked and tweeted about the Estate and Katherine (which is inappropiate for Twitter)

Why would a grown ass man publicly tweet that if he is seriously trying to make a case? That is something that should handled privately and professionaly. Paris just simply responded to what was being said about her guardian and claims in the letter that was false. Disrespectful or not she was justified in what she said.

Randy should not have leaked it and gloated about it......over Twitter. Janet instigated it by retweeting the letter and what Randy had said.

very sensible response

for a country that is toast.....this country is finished.....

u know it's over when people are practically forced to respond to a situation, a situation discussed on tv and radio and print, every single moment of the day, there's absolutely no way to avoid it for they are going to make sure you can't just to add insult to injury

and what's crazy about all of this, is that none of this is even real

Either way the judge appointed Tito's son partial guardianship. So something good came out of the whole thing. No need to throw Janet under the bus. She meant well. Paris is still well taken care of.Spoiled brat or not.

I thankfully got to see Michael & the Jacksons 8 times:

twice in 1975 at radio city music hall in nyc.

the destiny tour in Rochester Ny 1979.

twice at Madison square garden in Nyc on the Triumph tour 1981.

once at Madison square garden in Nyc on the Victory tour 1984.

twice at the Meadowlands Arena in NJ on the bad tour 1988.

1. I know during Thriller era a lot of people called Michael "prince of pop" but apparently some were already calling him King of Pop =D

2. Also...which one of you are getting this?? Only 3 days and 19hours left guys

Andy Warhol @ Christie's: Studio 54

And who knew even mr.Warhol wanted to date Michael hahaha XD

“Susan [Blond] got me an interview with Michael Jackson, one of the Jackson Five and the star of The Wiz. I asked him for a date. He said, ‘Are you a fairy or something?’ He was going with Tatum O’Neal then. I wanted to go on a date with both of them.” (A. Warhol, Exposures, London, 1979, p. 200)



...I just think, IF ONLY I GOT TO SEE MICHAEL JUST ONCE LIVE. Not even many times JUST FREAKING ONCE....I hate that this person Michael Jackson will remain such a mythical figure to me for the rest of my life...I really hate that freaking Cirque de Soleil show is the closest thing to experience his energy and vision at the moment although it doesn't compare...I really hate going to other artists' concerts and hear them play MJ tunes as a tribute and realize that in reality that's the closest thing for me to enjoy MJ's music live at concerts...I really hate to accept it. IF ONLY I SAW HIM LIVE JUST ONCE. That's really all I wanted!!

[Edited 4/29/13 13:37pm]

I know! I feel the exact same way, that's why it sucks that Conrad killed MJ because that was the only time I could have seen MJ live, because I was a baby when he was performing in the 90s... Cirque de Solei was really the closest thing for me as well and it's so sad because I know MJ was magical on stage. :sad2

you're lucky
and what was the best tour?

Paris's father never disciplined her by force, aunts and uncles do not have such a right even more so .... let him give birth to their children and discipline them.

You are sooo lucky!!!!!!!!

The best by far was 1981 at Madison square garden in NYC (both nights)

I cant really explain it in words but,

The Jacksons were like Royalty at that time..

Extremely respected and Veterans even though Michael was still just in his early 20's ..

Everybody knew that he was Super special and with Off the wall he was Undeniably Amazing!!!!

His look, his dancing, his sparkly outfits and high pants..

his charisma..smile... everything was AMAZING!!!! about him,

But nobody had a clue just how Amazing he was to become..

there still was a feeling like "Only Jacksons fans" knew that this was "THE KING OF POP"

the general public just knew that he was Great..

and Cute & Gifted since birth...

the fans KNEW he was THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! and Unlike anyone else on earth.

Basically we got a preview in 1981 of what the world caught up to in 1983-84.

When of course he became the Biggest selling and most idolised pop star EVER!

It was Amazing! they need to release the Triumph tour on DVD!

whenever I reflect this, I essentially get ignored

I already knew which tour u was going to say was his best before you posted

The Triumph Tour is the best live stage performance Michael Jackson ever did.....the fans of the past 22 years (the majority of them I should say in correction), they don't understand how good this guy was back then...they never got the chance to see him at his unequivocal best, neither has the world....

Michael's dancing was so intense, he would spin to lead up to another round of spins on a dime, all this while he was still spinning...

if people got to see this on DVD, the entertainment world would shut down for at least a month....

it's so foreign to the public conscious, it seems as if the tour lives as a story of fable with it actually happened, trapped by web of the pop ascension

the live performance of Don't Stop Til You Get Enough durig the Triumph Tour, best thing ever....

[Edited 5/4/13 8:33am]

I FORGOT TO MENTION:

I actually saw Michael/The Jacksons 10 times..

I also went to both nights of the 30th anniversary show at Madison Square Garden.

Unfortunately I thought it was Horrible..

Night and day from what i saw of them previously..

I have the Jacksons Live CD that I bought many years ago, but can only imagine just how much awesome it is on camera, what a shame none of the Jackson tours have been commercially released. I do remember the transition into Don't Stop Till You Get Enough and it sounded brilliant.

Looking back, the performance with britney was like watching a reunion between father and illegitimate daughter doing drunken karaoke I know it sounds mean, but I love the other TWYMMF performance more than I liked this one.

Emperor, did you go to Unity? It was my first Jacksons concert and definitely in my top 3 best concerts attended

The bible says

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. (2) “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), (3) “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” (4) Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

I don't know why you're quoting the bible because it's not some type of law book on how to raise your children or how to behave as a person, just because people believe in a book that was written in the middle east - 2000 years ago doesn't mean it's right or flawless because it's not. Not everyone follows the bible nor is a religious person. We live in a secular society where reason has taught us to think of the best choice for ourselves.

You do know that Janet took drugs in the 90s though? So what if she married a damn billionaire? I respect the woman for her hard work in a very crazy industry and for being a great dancer and entertainer that she is, her monetary value or any other values that might be important to you - don't mean crap to the rest of us.

I've never ignored your opinon on the Triumph tour to the contrary, I've always spoken about wanting the estate to release it on DVD because I LOVE THE LIVE ALBUM and I know the the shows must have been amazing! He was great during those years and performing wise, it's one of his best periods. There's a reason The Triumph tour was included as one of the best 25 shows between 1965-1985 in popular music. I just need to ask ya'll something though, did Michael play the piano at any of the concerts? Because I read on wikipedia and other Jacksons site that he did play piano at some concerts during the Triumph Tour.

^^^ I dont recall MJ ever playing piano on stage on Any tours..

Randy played it as well as Congas on that tour though..

I was going to go to the Unity tour but, I couldn't bring myself to see a Jacksons show with no Michael. Maybe i would have gone if i hadn't seen the "real Jacksons" so many times in the past.

You may call it mess that Janet got into at 18. But look at her now! She has had a very successful career "drug free" & is now married to a billionaire. All because she respected & honored her parents.

The bible says

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. (2) “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), (3) “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” (4) Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Proverbs 23:13-14 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.

I don't know why you're quoting the bible because it's not some type of law book on how to raise your children or how to behave as a person, just because people believe in a book that was written in the middle east - 2000 years ago doesn't mean it's right or flawless because it's not. Not everyone follows the bible nor is a religious person. We live in a secular society where reason has taught us to think of the best choice for ourselves.

You do know that Janet took drugs in the 90s though? So what if she married a damn billionaire? I respect the woman for her hard work in a very crazy industry and for being a great dancer and entertainer that she is, her monetary value or any other values that might be important to you - don't mean crap to the rest of us.

Yeah, anti-depressants for her and Rene using the chef's names at Dr. Metzger's, ironically the same one mj went to and they used for the mommynapping. Guess Janet hid her skeletons well and used MJ to cover up her private life.

This is great! I don't think I've ever come across fans who were..born early enough to have attended the Jackson 5 tour in 1975 & Destiny tour. Emperor & Scorp TELL ME MORE ABOUT THESE SHOWS!!!

How excited were you to go see them in 1975? I mean how big of a superstar were Jackson 5/Jacksons considered in that period? Was it a huge deal among your friends at school/work?

In terms of spotlight on Michael & the crowd reaction towards Michael, did you notice a huge difference between Jackson 5 tour and Destiny tour in '79? (I remember another fan's story; though Michael was always the main star of the group, after DSTYGE was released the shows were never the same and the crowd only screamed Michael's name. Just the amount of jealousy the brothers must've felt, I can't imagine...)

Did Michael ever do anything spontaneous on stage that surprised you?

Any particular review/reaction in the media or at school you remember about these shows the next day? (especially about Destiny/Triumph tours, were the reviews also about Michael Michael Michael?)

Please share some episodes in fact I would love to hear everything and anything you remember about these tours. I know I'm asking a lot because it was such a long time ago but I just really want to relive your precious memories....=D

Prince Jackson Rolling to the Stones Concert with Princess GF

Prince Jackson is stepping up his game -- after first being seen with his new Kuwaiti princess girlfriend out for a daytime bowling date, he then graduated to a Hollywood dinner date ... and now he's graduated to the Rolling Stones concert last night at Staples Center. The girl is his, indeed.

I don't know what century you lived in, but there's nothing wrong in wanting to decide what happens in your life even if you're young. I hope the best for Paris and I know she won't get in the mess Janet did at 18 and marrying the first boyfriend she has sex with, that also happened to be a drug addict.

What's wrong with being an indepedant woman? I might not like Debbie Rowe, but I don't know her personally and people say she's a sweet and smart woman, so that's not something negative...

I definitly agree.

Any teen would have did what Paris did. Randy was the one that leaked and tweeted about the Estate and Katherine (which is inappropiate for Twitter)

Why would a grown ass man publicly tweet that if he is seriously trying to make a case? That is something that should handled privately and professionaly. Paris just simply responded to what was being said about her guardian and claims in the letter that was false. Disrespectful or not she was justified in what she said.

Randy should not have leaked it and gloated about it......over Twitter. Janet instigated it by retweeting the letter and what Randy had said.

This is exactly why most had no problem with her "disrespecting" these adults. Most of these adults play up to the tabloids and other folks who don't even like the family, but Paris is supposed to respect them? LOL

If they respected themselves first I would then maybe understand this embarrassing and weak "respect your adults" nonsense. But with some in the family publilcy acting so z-listish and shady, how do you not stand up and applaud what Paris did.

Hi,

I'll try to answer your questions..

I was a very young child when my mother *Who was/is a Huge Jacksons fan-

took me to see them in 1975..

MJ was like a part of my family..

so personally i never saw him as separate from the other brothers..

I think the only time that i started to get that sorta feeling was the Victory album and tour,

Everyone seemed to pretty much let MJ be the unquestionable front man.

Jermaine is the only one that somewhat always gave me Jealousy Vibes for some reason..

Everyone that i knew liked the Jackson 5,

T-shirts and Posters and Magazines with their faces on the cover

were a common thing throughout the 70s-80s so,

There wasn't really a Super Low period for the Group..

Maybe between 75-77 were the lowest years but they pretty much always had a Major hit out on the radio or in the clubs..

The Destiny Album had some Major hits- Shake your body.. & Blame it on the boogie..

So that tour was Amazing.. Triumph as stated earlier was The Best!!!!!

Earth wind and Fire at the time had the most elaborate stage show

& the Jacksons directly went head to head with them on that tour, Using many of the same kinds of Special effects, Lasers, Disappearing tricks..

It was Amazing and after Off the Wall, MJ was the Hottest black male superstar in the world.

+ These were the days before lip snyching was acceptable so not only was MJ dancing his Butt off! He also was Singing flawlessly while doing it..Really Singing! every song.

The Victory tour was Amazing also but much like the Purple rain tour for Prince..

A bit too much of an "Event" for casual new fans that expected a recreation of what the saw on MTV...

Not a show for the lifelong Jacksons fans..

But It was great to see MJ in his Peak/Beetles/Elvis type Moment.

Everybody wearing White gloves, Hats, Buttons with his face on them, Shirts, Posters, Old , Young.. All races, Everyone in the world knowing him and his moves.. It was Electrifying!

And regarding School- This was the Time when kids talked about MJ the most.. 1983-1984

I dont think it was even possible to open a newspaper during 83-84 without a daily MJ story of some kind.. It was Out of Control! MICHAELMANIA!

UNFORTUNATELY..

This is also when the Media, Paparatzi, Tabloids and Scandals started regularly happening as well.

The Bad tour prooved that he could perform amazingly well as a solo act..

This tour for me was better than the Victory tour and better than any of his tours after it..

Its the peak of MJ's adult solo career as a performer (IMO).

The 30th anniversary show- Was Horrible to me..

Sad and Garbage.

NOTHING TOPS THE TRIUMPH TOUR THOUGH!

Thank you Emperor101 for sharing those beautiful memories of seeing the Jacksons live back in the day, the concerts, especially the Triumph one, sounds amazing! I really hope and pray that one day that concert will get a proper dvd release so that those of us who missed that tour can get a chance to experience that amazing concert!

Dean Denton with his family and Michael Jackson.

It is the picture that inspires memories of an extraordinary brush with mega-stardom for a well-known Perth music family.

Dean Denton, frontman of former Perth pub rockers the Frames, and his family have revealed details about a bizarre friendship with pop legend Michael Jackson.

They told _The Weekend West _how a chance meeting with Jackson in a Doubleview video shop in 1996 led to an intimate year-long relationship and they were all adamant "Jacko" was nowhere near as whacko as implied before his death in 2009.

The revelations surfaced as a Los Angeles jury began hearing evidence this week in a negligence lawsuit filed by Jackson's mother Katherine against promoter AEG Live.

She claims AEG, which has denied any wrongdoing, was negligent in not properly investigating a now-jailed doctor who gave her son a powerful anaesthetic as he prepared for his This Is It comeback tour.

The trademark black hat, with gold-embossed name on the inside, that Jackson gave the Dentons sits in a transparent box in their northern suburbs home under their prized family photo with him. It is encased with their backstage passes to his Perth concert.

A then eight-year-old Ash Denton had been roller-blading along Scarborough Beach Road with his mother Val when Jackson's security guard invited them into the video store. A day later, they joined an excited mob at Scarborough's Rendezvous Hotel where Jackson was staying.

On spotting Ash in the crowd, Jackson invited him and his mother to his pent- house suite. The family then joined others the night of the concert in the suite, which was scattered with children's party food such as lollies and fairy bread. Ash went with Jackson in his limousine to the gig and was part of a circle of children on stage for Jackson's song Heal The World.

"You think back to it now and you think, 'We've met the absolute pinnacle of performers' . . . wow," Ash said.

Dean Denton recalled Jackson phoning him for consent about any contact with his children. "He was as eccentric as hell, but he had that many people caring about him he couldn't do anything himself," he said.

Mrs Denton said Jackson let her "play in his wardrobe" and try on his jackets. She said later they started speaking by phone. "To start with, he was phoning me about once a week, just about life," she said.

"It was like, 'Wow, you cut your own lawn? You paint your own house? Do you love shopping? I love shopping'. He was just lonely. It was when the first lot of charges were laid and we talked a lot about that, how heartbroken he was that it had come to that."

Then suddenly, the calls stopped for good.
