Who's talking to Prince? He had a cute little dance move there.

Yes, it's funny that I said it's a "clearer footage" lol but one thing is sure, that's not Grace Rwaramba

 

[marebear]

It looks like him at the piano with a ponytail.

 

[PoP]

That's gonna be Omar or one of the cousins I don't know. I'm not positive.

[twinklEE]

it's clearly Michael on the piano, Omer is taking the video and one the other boy is the youngest Cascio child

 

[Snow White luvs Peter Pan]

When Prince cried I wanted to hug him... That guy with long hair looked like Michael, no doubt.

Yeah, that child was Aldo Cascio.

Is Prince named after Prince Rogers Nelson

Is Prince named after Prince Rogers Nelson

Prince is named after Michael, his legal name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr.
He is nicknamed 'Prince' after Michael's grandfather not after Prince the singer.

I thought his name is Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. ?

I think it was Gregory Peck's wife whose dog was called Blanket.

 

[qbee]

Prince's real name is "Michael Joseph Jackson Jr"

Blanket's real name is "Prince Michael Jackson II"

 

[ChrisC]

Pretty hard to tell who's playing that piano.

 

[qbee]

I wouldn't say its clear or clearer but most likely it is Michael.

 

[Snow White luvs Peter Pan]

I thought Jr.'s name was also Prince like his little brother. Blanket should be called Prince then.

I lived confused...

This is in reference to why Michael Jackson named his youngest child Blanket...


To me, the answer is because it is a nickname that references a story he strongly identified with, To Kill a Mockingbird.

But it's just a suspicion on my part. But if you read the quote about 'mockingbirds' and are familiar with the story the comparisons are eerie.

There is specifically a situation with a blanket in the story. http://www.bookrags.com/notes/tkm/PART8.html

Also in an interview, MJ said the reason for the nickname was that putting a blanket on someone shows you love them, and that totally goes with what happened in the story.

MJ apparently was fascinated by the story To Kill a Mockingbird
In the story Boo Radley is a recluse kids are afraid of, but actually he cares about the kids
When Scout is sleeping Boo drapes a blanket on her
MJ was friends with Gregory Peck the star of the movie version
Peck had a dog named Blanket which was probably also a mockingbird reference

"'Remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' . . . I asked Miss Maudie about it. 'Your father's right,' she said. 'Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy ... but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'"

Michael already said why he had nicknamed his baby boy Blanket, and according to him it had nothing to do with to Kill or Mockingbird or Gregory Peck's dog. Michael's words hold more value than speculation.

I still kind of wonder, though, about the connection to Gregory Peck and the movie, "To Kill A Mockingbird."

 

[KOPV]

The names of his children always interested me, like how Latoya and Mrs. Hilton always wanted to name there daughters Paris and then MJ named his daughter Paris but is said that its cuz that is where she was conceived.. All a pretty big coincidence if you ask me,.

 

[Michael_lover]

Cute!!!

 

[BlackMos]

I do hope this is Michael playing.

 

[Joyce]

I can imagine that when Prince sees all of these videos on youtube of him as a baby, he is embarassed. MJ loved to tape them as they grew up.

Is there other footage of MJ on piano?

 

[Alec]

Is there other footage of MJ on piano?

No, in fact, this is the only known footage of Michael actually playing any instrument, at least as an adult. When this leaked, I found it incredibly fascinating. He's just sitting at home (or was it a hotel room?), playing music for his kids. So fun!

 

[Annita]

Can someone post the footage again
