Oprah Remembers Michael Jackson

i finally watched the whole thing on youtube............

it really wasn't a bad interview...it was her way of reaching out and getting past some guilt...

she is feeling really guilty

she is among the people Madonna mentioned in her speech.......the ones that abandoned him and made judgement when the witchhut started...they never took the time...

Michael was very open about alot of his feelings....problem is...many wouldn't listen...

I am glad Oprah did the interview...it showed another prespective....
 
Was it important for Oprah to talk about her friggin hair? who asked her opinion? She showed the portion of the tape that will be controversial. What a liar she was. She had no list. You tell me? She is schedule to do an interview which will be viewed by the largest ever viewership and she had no list? Huh? She was not scared, she was gunning for him, she wanted to look good and make him look small.
WTH about the allegations..why the f*** did she still after all these years have to bring it up 3 times..Good Lord. I felt like kicking her off the flippin TV.
Everything on Wednesday was about her and how she felt and her 100 million viewers..Give me a break Oprah.. But your turn will come.
When the alarm went off, Mike should of told to GTFO..
O:Are you a virgin?
M:why? you wanna do something about it? should of been his reply.
 
The Oprah interview is having a bit of an impact on Mj's sale.

This morning, Number ones # 36 & The Essential # 74

How can you attribute the sales to the Oprah broadcast and not the MTV Awards?

i think it was totally MTV VMA.

90% of my music comes from itunes. I was looking at the top 200 songs on itunes prior to VMA and MJ had four songs on top 200.... MIM, BJ, Thiller, and one more (smooth criminal)

the next day i looked and it had 9 or 10 mj songs on the top 200 songs.

Now its back to MIM, BJ, Thriller, SM, and Scream.

who knows but I think VMA is more likely..... IMO.

I know you all will think this is crazy, but do you think Oprah acts so scorned because she maybe fell in love with Michael?

Quote of the day. I for one will never ever watch her shows. When llook back at Obamas remarks after MJs passing it explains alot...
 
I agree with everything you said, Rasta. Really wasn't a bad show. I'm rather glad she did it that way, rather than a fake tribute on how great she thought he was (even though he was). That would have been a bit hypocritical on her part, given the fact that she basically ignored him since she landed his most sought after interview. Mike has many fair weather fans, ya know :yes:

hmmmmm..dunno. Maybe because the vmas happened on sunday, the albums got a slight bump but fell down the itunes charts until late wednesday when they started moving up again.

So i would say Oprah...
 
Yeah, I also believe Oprah also had an influence on MJ's music sales too. Like her or not, Oprah has a pretty big influence in pop culture. People listen to her like she's a damn prophet. I know hundreds of viewers saw her special on Wed. and probably are now more aware of other MJ-related things, like the This Is It movie.
 
Oprah is a illuminati Bitch
I feel she has something against Michael
I did not like her whole JUDGEMENTAL demeanor during this recap interview televised on Wednesday.
I mean Oprah tell us how you realllly feel about the man, cmon with it. Now you are feeling guilty. You aint said a damn thing since he died, now you ready to talk. I think deep down Oprah believes Michael was guilty for those ridiculous molestation charges

Anyway he is gone now, hope you are happy FAKE BITCH. I use to like Oprah - but in the last few years i dont like her - she worships the devil. She is part of the occult group of the rich and famous.

See how she asked Michael
"Do you believe in a higher source" instead of "Do you believe in God"
Michael responded smartley
"Oh sure, most definately I BELIEVE IN "GOD"

yeah..in an age where nothing is secret or respected, people were frustrated that MJ still remained a mystery. the reality is, he still is..a mystery. and that's a good thing. it's the one good thing that can be salvaged from this sad media state. and societal state. it's somewhat comforting that they ultimately didn't have the control they thought they had. that they didn't get what they wanted. that somehow..they don't have the last word. which could explain why they still malign him. and that is sad. but he still has the ultimate smell of a rose...and Oprah and the rest of them do not. they only made themselves look bad.

I think the fact that he kept so many things a mystery really added to the media's ability to malign him, then and now, so I don't see how it was possibly a "good thing".

If he had been more forthcoming all along, then the media couldn't of made up so much shit about him and have everyone believing it was true, since they didn't know otherwise from Michael himself. I know Michael was a private guy, plus he was trying to create interest, but I really think it backfired on him.
 
I'm just now getting around to writing this since my internet has been down since Tuesday. I thought the original interview in 93' was a good interview, Oprah was annoying, but it was always good to see Michael. Now the whole recap show, I was kind of pissed watching it. She had to bring up the trials almost every time she came back from commercial, what was the point, she said at least two times "this was 6 months before the whole molestation thing came up" okay, you are supposed to recap on the interview, not bring that crap up! There were sometimes it seemed like she was making fun of him, I really didn't like it. But it was funny hearing about one of her crew members ending up in the hospital because he ate too much junk food haha. And I was kinda sad that they didn't show him beat boxing!
 
For Oprah, it was not that bad. I agree with Rasta- she was feeling some guilt. But she said one very informative thing in that interview; that she always try see things from the audiences perspective. That means also that she is trying in every way to please her audience. In that sense she will tend to be a covard, and never go against what is percieved to be the mainstream opinion. In other words, you will never hear her put a controversial opinion out there. She will never defend Michael.
And I think she should feel guilt. She could have reached out. But she did not.
As for Michael being open and more forthcoming; even when he did give interviews, and were out and about- he still was percieved as odd. And in many ways he was, because he was not ordinary. And even hen he gave perfectly reasonable answears, it was made in to something strange. In so many ways- he just could not win that game.

She kept saying this was taped before the Child thingy. I think so that her fans who are haters will understand where she is coming at. She was smart in this show as she wants fans and haters of Michael to like her and watch her other shows. But I have no intention of looking at her shows. Michael would of like to see this kind of response when he was alive not when he is no more..At least he would of known that the media liked him a little..
too Late is what I have to say..
At least he got to read Aphrodite Jones book..Good on her!

yes I meant to post this as well with my previous post in this thread...I think Oprah kept saying over and over "This was before any sexual allegations." to me it sounded like she stressed that to a point that after that she didn't have no love. I just didn't like how it sounded.
 
I don't know how much more forthcoming MJ could be. I know more about him than I know about any other celebrity. He was very open which is why I think he was vulnerable. That and the fact he was not afraid to speak his mind no matter how different and unique it was.

she was just c...h...a.. with her audience.... because she was so adoring to him.. during the 1993 interview..

she wanted to set the timeline so those judgemental fan of hers wouldn't be in judgement of her interviewing someone accused.

PS:

I completely agree. It bothered me so much. I also felt like she made it all about her-- how she was feeling, what an experienced interviewer she was, and goodness! She did not have any questions prepared ahead of time! :doh: Give me a break. It was supposed to be about Michael, not her. I am glad she wanted to do a tribute, but I think it would have been better if they had just replayed the 1993 interview in toto. Instead she gave a tribute to Michael that focused mostly on herself.
 
i got this feeling that interview in 1993 maybe be release on DVD :yes: i hope so cause she show it on her show so i thinking that maybe it'll happen :yes:

She should be feeling guilty I think. I had expected more of her. I am glad to hear that the show wasn´t that bad though. I have been on vacation and had not heard about it. Actually she isn´t as big as she used to be. Her ratings has recently been at an all time low....

i enjoyed it. but i am in the minority here and like oprah.
the story about her make up artist eating so many sweets at neverland that he had to be hospitalized cracked me up.

Oh no..poor guy
 
Best part of the show was the last few seconds, with the three clips of Michael. The very last one that has him dancing in slow motion is mesmerizing. I've seen that clip a million times, it's from the Black & WHite panther dance, but in slow motion, it's even more magical.

He was just fluid grace.

I'm with you in the minority. I liked it, didn't expect much more than what we got and Mike was so adorable.

Yeah, but then she made the comment about how kids would go there and do the same thing. It sounded negative like they would get sick from eating so much like Michael was irresponsible. That was my opinion about it anyway.

I think she does believe he was guilty, and as someone else pointed out, she won't ever defend Michael. She wouldn't do something that she would worry would make people upset with her. I think she did the show to ease her conscience a little bit and get ratings, but she had to lace is with some negative comments and make sure people knew it was BEFORE the allegations. Letting them know she wouldn't have been so nice to him if it was after or she wouldn't have done it at all.

I think she was really liking him a lot during that interview in 1993, but reviewing it, she made it seem that she wasn't. But at least she was honest when she said all she was thinking was that she'd gotten the interview and not worrying about how profoundly lonely Michael was. :(

i don't think that makes a difference, really. when you want to malign someone, nothing will stop you. they were gunna malign him, no matter what. whether something was true or not. he admitted to a little sugery, and they went to town with that truth. so, a mystery really makes not much difference. the bottom line is, they don't know. that's the victory. you can't pretend to know a mystery that you don't know, no matter how much you claim to know it. the bottom line is...he won, because they don't know. their envy is the only true cause of their maligning him. he could reveal truths till the cows come home. their envy will consume them anyway. there is just no excuse for her asking him that question, and no right for them to know the answer. the media's ability to malign him is their own doing..their own choice. it has nothing to do with him. otherwise, how can people say ' i have a right to make my own decisions'..and then, go two faced, and blame someone else for their decision to malign someone? the decison for people to believe something that they don't know, is true, is also their own fault and their own decision. it has nothing to do with Michael. there is no person that has a right to force MJ to say something he doesn't want to say. and there is no person that can force somebody to believe something they don't want to believe. as far as MJ creating interest..there's no real proof about that..any more than there isn't proof that MJ simply didn't feel like telling the world certain things, out of sheer embarrassment, and privacy. he didn't want to tell the world his medical records, for instance. of course that's the law, but that's another story. but embarrassment and need for privacy is legitmate reasoning enough, without the idea of 'creating interest'.

I dunno, I just can't put my finger on it, but to me Oprah's disdain for Michael must be coming from somewhere other than those allegations. I mean, she is in show business, she's been accused of things she didn't do before, she knows what it's like. I don't understand why she would so readily believe this about Michael. I know you all will say it was because she was a victim of the same abuse that he was accused of, but it can't be just that. I know victims of that kind of abuse and they still believed Michael was innocent. C'mon, Oprah is more intelligent than to believe he's guilty simply because she was abused herself. That doesn't even make sense, to believe someone is guilty of something because it happened to you by a completely different person. Oprah is an educated woman and a brilliant business woman. She didn't get to where she is today by being a dum dum. For me, there's something else going on as to why she feels such resentment towards him.
