Lisa Marie Presley * Designated discussion thread for everything LMP

Heres more

Lisa Marie talks more about Michael Jackson…
From The Times Uk:

Did she want to have children with him?

“In the beginning, yes.” They divorced after two years in 1996. “I hoped it would be the one that would last, but that was a messy situation. Too many people got involved between us.” She means entourages. “We both allowed that, which was a mistake.”


Jackson’s death in 2009:

“was really confusing and really, really painful. Our relationship was something I had parked away, pushed away. It brought it all back in a way I was not prepared for, things I hadn’t dealt with. Some of the things that we went through could never be fixed or resolved. It was devastating.”


Was Jackson gay?

“Absolutely not, not in any way shape or form. Not, not, not, not.” She was with him when the first child molestation charges were made. “I always maintain it’s not anything I was around for and nothing I witnessed.”

She is a hypocrite and I wished she stop using Michael's name to sell her noise.

"They only love you when you die" Sad

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

Some of the questions being asked her are rude in my opinion. I am suprised they didn't ask her if he was a real human being. Jeez.

To be honest, I don't know if people can change that much. She was still saying terrible things like a year before Michael died. She said he was the biggest mistake of her life or something like that. I always thought their marriage was real and they were in love. I always thought that they rushed into the marriage in the first place. They should have gotten to know each other a little longer. I am open minded to say that maybe his death shook her up that she realized she was wrong in her bad thoughts. But it's too bad that Michael can't hear this now. It's too bad she let her anger and other people influencing her thoughts over the years.

I understand you can't vouch for anyone 100%, but why she doesn't read the court transcripts? After all, according to her, she was the love of his life. I think she owes it to him to read the transcripts and on her next interview she can answer with facts instead of saying that she doesn't know only because she wasn't around or because she didn't see anything.

Do you have a link?

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

Wouldn't it be great if MRS. LOCKWOOD stopped talking about MR. JACKSON???

I don't see why she shouldn't discuss MJ. Although I am still pissed at her Oprah per-June 2009 interviews, Michael is part of her own life story.

If we have to listen or read MJ's siblings regurgitate crap about MJ, why can't she tell her side of their story?

ETA Qbees your post hit it out of the park. To the point & well thought

AngieJ, perfect post. I agree Jaymon's obsession with LMP is disturbing.

I have a love-hate thing with LMP. I love her for what she was to MJ....but at times, I feel so much anger towards her for the pre-june 2009 Oprah interview. The way she spoke of Michael was so disrespectful and borderline racist (especially her mother's comments that she never challenged)...

People need to understand that love is complicated...

Album: Lisa Marie Presley, Storm & Grace (Island)

Having a celebrity parent, history suggests, can be a terrible burden to bear – not least since nowadays, the popstar offspring that eschews showbiz in favour of a “proper” job is a rarity. And as celebs go, they don't come much bigger than Elvis, not so much a star as a figure of mythic proportions, his earthly domain preserved in all its kitsch glory like an outsize reliquary of postwar American aspiration.

Until recently, Lisa Marie Presley had shown all the signs of being just another victim of pop's dynastic tendencies, an ersatz talent cast into an unforgiving spotlight. There were those two earlier albums, oddly devoid of ambition and charisma, and there was that whole business with Michael Jackson, which seemed to point towards some imminent emotional car-crash.

But it's been seven years since her last album, and now rooted within a firmly supportive long-term relationship, and relocated to the relative normality of England, Lisa Marie appears to be coping better than most with the unbidden yoke of celebrity. She's certainly creating music of far greater potency than most second-generation trustafarian popsters, thanks in part to the keen instincts of producer T-Bone Burnett and in even greater part to English songwriters such as Ed Harcourt and Richard Hawley, whose astute grasp of classic pop and country modes ensures that Storm & Grace is replete with songs capable of becoming standards.

The Presley/Harcourt opener “Over Me”is taken at a languid rockabilly canter, familiar from Burnett's work on Raising Sand, and driven by the same peerless rhythm section of drummer Jay Bellerose and bassist Dennis Crouch, who elsewhere bring a breathtaking subtlety of touch and emphasis to Presley/Hawley ballads like the slow country waltz “Storm & Grace” and “Weary”.

Throughout, Burnett's production frames Presley's nonchalant, smoky delivery in classic neo-roots livery, through his typical accumulation of small but telling guitar figures allied to flexible and infectious grooves. The result is an album that in one swoop restores contemporary significance to the Presley brand.

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

Hypocritical of her? You're one of the posters who have for years made her a huge presence on the MJ forums and it's because of fans like you MJ fans hate for her is seen as joke by most folks, so how can you of all fans act all tough and angry about her past comments now?

Just admit that you are glad that you got a little crumb from her. You could see that fans like you were super pissed that she hadn't been mentioning MJ.

No I wasn't at all... I was glad she wasn't mentioning MJ because it would only prove she was using him to sell her record. Can you Angie just admit that your girl is a liar? Are you going to deny that she told Oprah in 2010 that she would never talk about Michael Jackson again and if anyone asks she would refer them to the Oprah interview? Didn't she say her husband was for her talking to Oprah to get everything out and to exorcise demons etc... Well if that's the case why 2 years later is she back to mentioning MJ when she said she wouldn't? why didn't she refer this UK writer to the 2010 Oprah interview?

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

I hate her cold responses to the allegations. I mean does she do it because she truly isn't sure (then why she married him) or is it just to save face with the media making herself out to be "normal." Either way it makes her look really terrible given the fact that she had minor children while married to MJ and talkin like that. Yet no one ever asked her what the hell is up with that in interviews. -_-

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

I am tired of her 'I don't know, I wasn't in the room' crap. by her logic, nothing in this world is the truth. What's the justice system for? Because only the accuser and defender know what happened. She thought saying this way and stay neutral would make her look good to public and be the media darling but it actually made her worse. she wasnt sure of his innocence but still married him with her two young children and continued chasing him around the world after divorce with her two kids under her arms. how does this reflect her as the mother and woman? michael had really no luck when it came to people around him.

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

Purely a personal opinion, please don't shoot me down. lol I thought I had never seen Michael look happier (apart from when his children came along) than when I saw him with Lisa Marie. There was a real spark there and I was sad when they divorced. Who knows how things might have turned out had they remained married and had children of their own?

Aree with you, I saw Michael so in love with her, it is sad she wasn't able to appreciate it before. Michael was not a common person, he was a big star with a agitated life, always wondered if she didn't think of that before married with him. If she had had his baby I do believe other would be the story today but she didn't want.

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

Didnt she once say mj was manipulative on oprah? im sure she did so how the heck can u go from saying someone is manipulative to loveable in like only years part from that

Personally i think deep down she truly does love him but she just wants stay in denial bout it cuz otherwise why in the world would she still be talking bout him

 

[susna]

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

oops ...
I know You may not like her because of her her past actions and that's your right. I'm certainly not telling you how to feel. I know many fans don't like her for her past.

I think that is one of the main reasons, many fans don't forget, she really was cruel with her words and some actions in the past but she has said she is sorry about that. There is pain in the hearts due her behavior and it's deeper than some people think.

Yes exactly! I agree 100% especially with the bold part. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks how hypocritical her words and actions are and were. Her ways just NEVER made any sense to me.

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

Why do the media keep asking her the same old questions? I already knew the answers before I even read them, nothing new :yawn:

 

[susna]

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

However, she allowed the reporter to ask questions about Michael as if Michael was unable to insipre love. "Why did Lisa marry him" wasn't Michael a human being? Why allow these kind of questions?

Agree,this kind of questions is disrespecful, journalists insist to picture Michael as weird and undesirable person. I'd prefer Lisa is not asked on Michael Jackson anymore, as I said before there are people are hurt cause her past behavior, I am one of those think Michael got never over her and died hurt, it's hard to see her talking on him and at the same time on how happy she is with her current husband, ''the perfect one''. I wish her to be happy and put the MJ subject apart.

Me too, it has been enough time for Lisa to clearly talk about that, she knew him, was his wife then why this cold response-_-

Initially I didn't want to respond to this thread because already when I saw the title I knew what it would become. But I have to say I agree that her response about the allegations is annoying. She could answer to the gay question so empathically ("no, no, no, no - not in any shape of form"). Why can't she answer to the pedo question the same way? It's a very convenient cop out to say "I wasn't there". I wasn't either, yet I know Michael was innocent. The facts are there to prove it. I'm sure Lisa doesn't believe the allegations, otherwise she would not have married him and would not have let her children around Michael. But IMO she is not brave enough to stand up for that in the media, which is a shame.

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

oops ... Sorry for causing any confusion by posting under the wrong account earlier. I was using the board control panel to clean out spammers /approve Jr members posts and I just forgot to log out. I'll repost





Well we all have been around long enough to know why his name was used by the Magazine and that Lisa dint create the headline on the cover. We know how it works. I agree that is not a very good picture. It seems over photo-shopped. Her face is to elongated and the makeup doesn't suit her at all.



I don't really feel it is obvious. I see nothing in her words or actions to indicate that he means nothing to her. I know in the past she was a bitter angry scorned young woman very hurt and upset over their break up. At that time she said things that bitter scorned women do. But she has grown and matured a lot over the years since then. She has moved on in her life and sees things with a better perspective. In reality that's what happens when you have time and distance from a painful situation. You can see things more clear without being bitter or hurt any longer. His death also made her look at things about Michael and herself that maybe she couldn't face or see before. Thats very common when someone you cared or cared about dies.

I know You may not like her because of her her past actions and that's your right. I'm certainly not telling you how to feel. I know many fans don't like her for her past. But people change. They live learn and grow. Just trying to show things from a different perspective. Her words and demeanor make it evident to me she did love Michael. They even tried to work it out but in the end it wasnt meant to be. They both moved on in their lives. Same thing Michael said about their relationship. Lisa only says positive things and very little, only when pressed. She certainly isn't out to do a whole interview about MJ but questions will come up after all He was a part of her life. She cant change the past only learn from it as we all do. There is no disrespect in her words. It doesn't bother me when she discusses him. I dont feel it is harming anything at all. Hope Im not stepping on anyones toes. It's just how I personaly feel about the situation.

I agree people grow and change, but it's hard to accept that Lisa did not defend Michael during the 05 trial when she was on Larry King (even if we forget or overlook all the other negative comments). Yes, people do get bitter and angry--but they can choose to vent that in less public ways than on National TV over and over. They can talk to close friends, etc. Lastly, in her interview with Oprah after Michael's death, she reiterated a few negative assessments from the past--that he was drugged, for instance. She said that during the Bashir interview he was "high as a kite." That was her opinion, of course, but to say that after his death??? She seemed to sum up his life story as 'a train wreck that had to happen," as though there was an inevitability to Michael dying at age 50 under distressing circumstances. How could she make that statement?? It was as if she was saying it was 'written in the stars' and 'ordained by the gods' or something like that. Why was it a 'train wreck that HAD to happen'?? Doesn't sound good to me. Also she side-stepped the accusations--'I wasn't in the room," implying it COULD have happened. She did not defend him forcefully enough in that interview. I think she is a very selfish and under-developed person and did not know how to understand or appreciate Michael.

Yes, I do think she loved him but he said NO to her and that was something she couldn't handle. She went on Oprah saying Michael loved me as much as he was 'capable of'--but I think the reality is she loved HIM as much as she was 'capable of,' which wasn't much. I used to hate her more than I do. Now I think she is just a sad person who blew her chances with Michael and who basically trashed him when he was down and needed her. She knew what he went through in the 93 allegations, she lived through that with him, and she knew what a big hit his reputation and career took as far as sales and media coverage, yet she bashed him herself repeatedly--Oprah, Larry King, Diane Sawyer. That was mean and classless.

Thank you so much!.I'm glad you mention her RECENT actions/words about MJ after his death, the way she told Oprah she left him because of drugs and doctors!! How does it make sense when you were chasing him and writing letters to him?? So now after his death she has pride to say we had a relationship after the divorce, and MAKE it 4 years trying to fool us, and how I can forgot "please keep yr head together " as if she he cared about him, and hinted she was the one and only in his life ...I'm done!!!!

I think some fans overlook her recent interview w Oprah bc she's a female 'cause she said nothing that would help MJ's memory, there I said it.

Re: New--- Lisa Marie Presley on Michael Jackson

Didn't she tell Oprah in 2010 that she would never mention MJ again?:bugeyed Isn't she supposed to tell interviewers before the interview that she will not mention MJ so don't ask about him?

I was just about to say the same thing. So this is what never mentioning Michael again looks like.

Either way it makes her look really terrible given the fact that she had minor children while married to MJ and talkin like that. Yet no one ever asked her what the hell is up with that in interviews. -_-

I think she's trying to stay neutral to save face with the media. I don't think she had any doubts about Michael's innocence, but it's not considered cool to like Michael Jackson, or to stand up for him, and she's not brave or strong enough to do so. Maybe she wouldn't have spoken about him so harshly in the past if the media had treated Michael like a normal human being and their relationship as a real relationship. But since everyone ridiculed him and their relationship so much, she caved in and went along with the ridicule.

But her attempt to stay neutral makes her look really bad. Either she had real doubts about Michael, and endangered her own children by letting them live together with a man who could hurt them. Or she was certain of his innocence, but implies that he could have been guilty just to make herself look better in the media. Either way, it doesn't make her look good. Can't she see that?

And the "I don't know, I wasn't in the room" argument is just really bad. By the same logic anyone could be guilty of anything.

I agree completely with this post. You are so spot on in everything you say. And it is for the reasons you stated that I do not care for her. I don't hate her, I also see her as a sad and miserable person who is very spoilt and can't handle being told no and not getting things the way she wants them. Michael told her no, he didn't give into her every wish and that she couldn't handle and I believe that is why she was so angry and bitter with him for all these years.
