In my opinion, Joe Jackson ALSO has something to do with this Oprah interview as a vehicle to promote Ms. Katherine's book.

Don't forget he needs money for his "dream" project in Gary. A project that Ms. Katherine "appears" to be supporting. The plan was to break ground starting early next year, as of today, I believe there have been no updates as to where this project stands and that's probably because there is no money for this project. Well, no money YET!

Well, it's happening again with Katherine. You said MJ was surrounded by leeches, that's true.
And what happened? MJ's not here anymore, that's what happened.
I'm also worried about the kids.

Joe Jackson, and Alejandra, Jermaine, and their children have mastered exactlly how to manipulate Katherine Jackson to their advantage.
Many of the other members of the Jackson family (e.g. Janet, Rebbie, and LaToya) just don't care about the day to day lives of Michael Jackson's children.
I believe Taj does care. Bless his heart. :angel:
These are just the facts.

That project WILL NOT go anywhere....mark my words.
Wherever he is, MJ is probably cursing this Gary project...if it means exploiting his beloved children.

Exactly.

I am beyond APPALLED. Sickening ...that 3 kids who just lost their only parent are being used for book sale & ratings.

And Oprah says she is against child abuse???

All we can wish for is for a major fans & especially, media...AND THE GENERAL public backlash. Because we all bore witness to how MJ protected his kids from the press

I'm sure Prince and Paris are old and wise enough to do an interview. Michael raised them to be diplomatic and for sure they will handle one well, but how come it still feels kinda wrong...?

Because it's wrong..

anyone that knew Michael even for a 5 seconds know in their heart that he wouldn't want his children in such situation - giving interviews and/or talking to Oprah- , we can sugarcoat this all we want by saying " he left the kids to Katherine and Katherine knows what she's doing" but that doesn't necessarily equal that what she does is the best or what Michael would have wanted- especially now that we know not one but at least two (perhaps even more) family members were kept unaware of the Oprah interview and/or involvement of MJ's kids. (side note: this doesn't mean that attacks to Katherine are justified. Every fan can express their disagreement without using attacks.)

"using Oprah's audience and wide reach to correct the untruths and protect Michael's legacy" sounds good but if you look to the pictures seeing Howard Mann and Oprah with Katherine's book you know that this isn't only about Michael's legacy but also promotion of Katherine's book. And honestly do you think that Oprah changed the way she thinks about Michael or really cares about his family and children? I personally don't, this is about ratings for Oprah. Plain and simple.

Plus we all know that Michael raised his children well and they are intelligent and mature beyond their years but I still question what they know and what they are being told. What I mean is that we know that Michael turned magazines on the racks so that the kids won't see the headlines so it's safe to assume that Michael didn't sit them down and said "This is Oprah and she did this and that to me". So the question is that did the children knew what Oprah said about their dad and regardless still choose to talk with her or were they simply unaware of everything?

and we all know from firsthand experience it's not just solely about what they will say but how that will be edited and commented on as well- remember Bashir Interview and other Oprah shows that she commented on the interview?

I'm not worried about Prince, Paris, and Blanket being filmed on Oprah. I think they will shine through as beautifully as ever.
I just hope this is the last time they are exploited for TV ratings. :angel:

I believe Prince, Paris, and Blanket would rather dedicate their
public exposure time to their father's philanthropy work. :yes:

As for the Gary project, I totally agree with you. Last thing I read on this board was that the land could not be transferred to the "foundation" because the non-profit hadn't been set up. Fast track to NOWHERE, is what I call the project!

I also agree regarding the backlash and have previously said the very same thing.

And to be honest, with or without Oprah, I just don't think folks will be interested in Ms. Katherine's book. I certainly don't see "Oprah's core audience" running out and ordering this book.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

That Gary project will never happen
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Finally I agree with something in this thread! The Gary project won't happen.

As for the kids being on Oprah I still think should wait till it actually airs before everyone goes off the deep end about it. But I think they will do fine and I think it will be edited ok. But we will see.

Big Apple2 said:
I will STILL take a wait & see approach. Maybe Oprah just met the children but will not be speaking to them on camera. (Although speaking to the children at all still makes me sick!)

I will say one thing, IF Michael's children appear on camera being interview by Oprah, I believe there will be "major backlash" and I'm not talking about backlash from "some" of US, I'm talking about backlash from the general public who saw the lengths that Michael took in order to protect his children from the media.

This is what i'm hoping for too.

The biggest issue for me concerning Oprah is that it "appears" that she does not like to be wrong.

Which, in my opinion, means that she will either edit the program so that it upholds her belief that all of things she has said about Michael in the past are true. OR will it be edited to reflect that she was wrong in her beliefs regarding Michael.

Time will tell, if Ms. Winfrey is BIG enough to admit that she may have been wrong in her earlier assumptions regarding Michael Jackson.

I pray I'm wrong, but I just don't see Oprah admiting that she could have been wrong, whether it's regarding Michael Jackson or any other subject she may have been wrong about.

In my opinion, it's HER WAY OR THE HIGHWAY!

Agreed, I wanna see if Oprah lets her colossal Ego down to admit that she was wrong, personally I am not very confident she will, but let's see.

I'm with you on the "let's see" tip.

Maybe we're all wrong and Ms. Winfrey will do a complete flipping of the script. (Wouldn't that be lovely!)

I guess since Lisa Marie is up FIRST, per se. We can "sort of" get a gage as to which direction Oprah will be going.

Will Oprah be following her usual "script" when she interviews Lisa Marie, or will her approach be "different, some how softer" this time around.

Do you need to see the interview to know that MJ would have NEVER approved of it?

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I just want to remind everyone of the rules just in case you are not aware. While we do not say you cannot be outraged at what the family has done, please do not go overboard. If you are not sure, please reread the rules.

Thanks!
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I would had prefered that Ms. Jackson had accepted to do this intervew with Ellen than Oprah instead, if her purpose is vindicating Michael.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

anyone know when this is goin to air? i don't wanna read 50 pages
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

No date announced yet, will probably be one of the last shows due to the pull of having the kids involved. I'm a bit miffed at it too but like ginvid said, the abuse is getting way too much here.

Click to expand...

I agree. As much as I do believe Katherine is doing her best to raise Michael's children and I'm not questioning her parenting skills - after all she has raised 9 kids of her own, but I still feel someone forgot Michael's wishes here.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

This whole thing is killing me. I just don't understand why they are doing this? How can they ignore everything Oprah's done to Michael, how can whatever reason they think they have for doing this be more important than that? And his children too, they know Michael wouldn't like this, what has changed.......
The worse thing is that we can't do anything about it.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

so it's confirmed that Oprah indeed talked to Michael's children, even though Katherine was aware of what Oprah did to Michael...speechless...
when people said Katherine did this interview Not for money, she took good care of her children... Can we not forget the fact that Katherine was also responsible for Michael's misery childhood(cash cow/working day and night/being abused...). People always tend to blame everything on Joe Jackson, but we cannot forget Katherine was Michael's mother, she witnessed all those bad things happened on her children, and did nothing. I am certain she loved all her children dearly, but history proved she didn't put her children's best interest in the first place cause Joe Jackson's interest was always her priority.

No, I don't. But he is no longer here and it is someone else's call. So whether he would approve or not does not really matter anymore. Should it? Maybe. Maybe not. But it certainly isn't up to me or any other fan whether it is right or wrong. We do not know the kids, Katherine does.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

This is not about attacking Katherine or anyone else of that so called family. This is about saying the truth for once and for all. I do not care, it don't matter how mature Michael's children are, it dont matter if they are 12 or 13. IT DOES NOT MATTER.
What matters is the fact that the children are being used and exploited under Katherine JAckson's care. Michael never wanted nor needed his children to 'defend' him. Back in 2005 he stated how much his kids wanted to go on stage with him, did he take them? HELL NO! Why? B/c he did not want to. He knew what was coming for his children. Throughout these past one and half years the children have been used A LOT. KAtherine having raised 9 children is NOT important, her raising Michael's children the wrong way however is. And yes she is raising them the wrong way, b/c Michael would have NEVER EVER wanted his children to end up on OPRAH, barely one and half years after his death while being 12 and 13. Period.
Now KAtherine may be pulled into a lot of directions by those grown ass adult children of hers, and her Joseph, that still doesn't excuse this. She is still a grown woman in her upper years who should know better, and I'm sure that she knows better, but it still doesn't matter as she is letting it happen (let it happen) anyways.
She should at least respect her dead sons wishes, because he is dead, he can't speak up, he can't speak anymore, she should be his voice instead of listening to whatever her unemployed children who are in their upper 50s/60s/40s have to say.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I think someone here that can tweet should tell Taj that it might be time to have a personal chat with MJ3s and explain to them everything that was done to their dad and by whom.

I also agree, if they wanted to go on TV to promote something they could've gone on the Ellen show or somebody that Michael respected. NOT Oprah NEVER. At least not until she makes a heartfelt effort to apologize to Michael, his family and fans.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Why should she apologize to people who kiss her ass?. The rest of the Jackson's obviously seem to love Oprah as they keep coming to her show again and again, ever so willingly trashing their deceased and forgotten relative. Seems to me as if some of them think that by surrounding themselves with the likes of Oprah and trashing Michael, Oprah's fame and money will rub of on them, and/or kick start their dead careers. Well none of it is going to happen. The only person laughing all the way to the bank will be Harpo

Not at all. Not with Oprah.
I still give Katherine and Lisa the benefit of the doubt and think they didn't know this schedule.



This schedule is Oprah laughing at everyone who loves MJ.
