I have never heard of anyone becoming a former popstar, even when they retired for ages. Why is it people alwaus want to take things away from Michael Jackson, it is like they don't want him to have anything at all. How many things are they trying to take from him now?

because there's no such thing. and if they do retire or pass away, those superstars will be embedded in Pop culture anyway.

It is not easy to sue people when you are brought up in a religious culture that tells you not to sue anyone. The jacksons are very much like my own family. Suing would be the last resort. My family couldn't even go through with a criminal violence against themselves because of their belief. I believe this is the same for the Jacksons. They do not believe in suing people. They leave everything to God. This is why I believe they do not sue. I believe that the media is well aware of it and they take disadvantage of them because of their religious belief. It is a crying shame.:mello:

Well it does. It is there way of protesting. They are saying, 'Look, we have done nothing to you and you have offended us.' The fact that they have consultdd with a lawyer indicate that they may use one if pushed too far. MJ was pushed and he did use one.

I don't know if Jermaine is the right brother to be suing. He testified in a child support case a few months ago that he currently has no income to pay for the support. So how can he be suing now? The one I'm most confused about was Marlon supposedly bagging groceries. I thought Marlon co-owned a Television Network called MBC. What happened to that?
I've often wondered how the Jacksons earn income. I know they made next to nothing from Motown due to the low royalty rate they signed. Their last tour, The Victory Tour, ended over 23 years ago and they received 5 million a piece. I'm not saying they are broke, but if they aren't, I don't know what they are doing to earn income. The haven't had records on the charts in decades, they have no endorsements and don't tour.
I live in the USA and Tito Jackson was scheduled to headline a low budget blues concert in my hometown, but he didn't show. It was rather sad because I'd never seen a Jackson brother in person. (I'd seen Janet in a concert). I'm hoping to see a Jackson Reunion tour in the USA before it's over. I've always wonder how Jackie earns money. You never hear about it.
The weirdest part is, I don't think people would spend 25 bucks to see the Jacksons in concert if Michael Jackson wasn't there. They are totally dependent on Michael for income. I know a Michael/Jacksons tour would sell out every city in the USA. Especially now. No one has seen them on tour in the USA in over 23 years. They may be due, ya think?

Jermaine can sue if the information they propagate is incorrect. Furthermore since he has been ordered to pay thousands per month, I would expect that he has been finding jobs in europe. He has made several appearance on tv since then.

Yeah it is confusing. That's just as weird as wondering how some b.s. story got printed just so people can talk, lol.

TO MY FANS AT MJJ COMMUNITY:
I would like to thank you for making such a beautiful site. I especially appreciate the Man In The Mirror section where I really do feel...loved, in more ways than one.
I am overwhelmed by your kindness, from the bottom of my heart. .
In addition, your continued thirst for news about me means so much. I really love and appreciate you all....from the bottom of my heart.
From the bottom of my heart (I already said that, didn't I?), I wanted to let you know that I've been very busy lately. The best is yet to come! But in the meantime, hopefully, you know Thriller 25 is finished. Actually, it's on sell now. Just wanted to remind you all about that...just in case you didn't know.
Right now, I'm going to share some exciting and surprising news for your News & Mentionings thread, as a showing of my appreciation.
I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
Sincerely,
Michael Jackson
(THIS IS FAKE)
:lol::lol::lol:
Have you ever stopped to think that maybe they want to live private lives away from the spotlight. There are celebrities who once use to be front and center actors, singer, etc. (including former child stars) who chose to leave the stardom behind and are living ordinary lives. Maybe the Jackson brothers with the exception of Jermaine and Tito, decided to do this. And regarding how they earn a living is really no elses business but theirs. I would think that maybe they are enterperneurs (sp) working for themselves or working for someelse like everyday people

Well, the way it looked, Jaydom, it was meant to be offensive in your case. The truth is, YOU KNOW WHY MJ has not performed in "ages". Do not try to be slick, here because it is not working. And since when did MJ became a "former" pop star and when did the media tell the truth? Former pop stars do not re-release 25 year old CDs and working with the top producers at the moment. So, honestly right now, MJ is not a former pop star.
I never heard that term used on any pop star before myself. I cannot understand why this man gets this type of treatment knowing that he has been working on music for a while. People want to take things away from the man because they are angry that he still has that valuable catalogue and that he is not going anywhere. It is distrubing.
As for the Jacksons suing, honestly, I will see it to believe it. BTW, I think if the brothers wanted to sue that ass Stacy Brown and the NYP, they have to prove that these clowns were doing the story in a malicious and defaming way. That is why it would be easier for them to do it through the UK courts.
I heard this myself regarding the Jacksons and why they do not sue. I think it is not right because they should fight for themselves but they want to be loyal to their religion, I guess. Well, we will see how this one goes if it happens.
Hmmm, I am not even gonna front, I was kind of thinking the same thing when I read that article. I heard about Jermaine not earning income as well and it is a bit weird. You gotta wonder what happened to all of the money. As for Marlon, in all fairness, Inside Edition were not even sure if that was really Marlon Jackson. Marlon and Jackson are common names so it could be anyone. I doubt that he works in the supermarket/grocery store. I have no clue what happened to that cable network.
I have wondered about their income myself. I wonder how they live the way that they did all of those years after the Victory tour. I do not want to assume that most of them lived off Mike and Janet but you gotta wonder how they make a living sometimes. BTW, I read that Marlon filed for bankruptcy years ago. Does anyone remember that?
I hear you on that. It is quite interesting.
I do not think that is weird, I think that is a very true statement. I mean, lets face it, Mike is the heart and soul of the Jackson5/Jacksons. The brothers are talented but they can't do anything regarding a tour without Mike and that is why I think the brothers want this tour to happen and MJ seems to be hestitating. Yeah, I think they need to do a tour in the USA, it would be huge. However, it is really up to Mike because if Mike is not feeling a tour, they have to either wait a few more years or start trying to get themselves on "Dancing of the Stars". I am serious.
Bee, thanks for addressing the ridiculous comments regarding the "former pop star" issue. I tried to do it before, but your answer is more comprehensive and everything I wanted to say.
As for the Jacksons suing - yes, I'll believe that when I see it too. I suspect Michael is not terribly concerned about this story, as he has sued the UK press in the past when he felt that it was necessary and had a chance of having a result (ie the Daily Mirror face fiasco in the Dangerous era).
