Clearer footage of MJ playing the piano.

I am trying so hard to see, but I can't make out if it's really Michael playing the piano. lol.
 
That's gonna be Omar or one of the cousins I don't know. I'm not positive.
 
it's clearly Michael on the piano, Omer is taking the video and one the other boy is the youngest Cascio child
 
When Prince cried I wanted to hug him... :cry: That guy with long hair looked like Michael, no doubt.

Yeah, that child was Aldo Cascio.

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 think it was Gregory Peck's wife whose dog was called Blanket.
 
Prince's real name is "Michael Joseph Jackson Jr"

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

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

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."
 
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,.
 
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.

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!
