Sigh.. well I suppose you have to have expectations for something to be disappointed and I had none to start out with.
MORGAN: So, Joe, I've interviewed almost every single member of your family, your wife, your sons, your daughters, Michael. And finally I get to interview the boss.
Can someone please remind me when PM interviewed Michael? That's not one sit down I recall.
On the subject of beatings and them calling him Dad, well no surprise there! As unyielding as always.
MORGAN: Perhaps the most touching moment for many at Michael Jackson's memorial, the heartbreak of his daughter, Paris. Back with me now exclusively is Michael's father, Joseph Jackson, and his former manager, Dieter Wiesner.
Tough for the kids that, Joe, more than anybody, I felt. It was such a public thing. And poor Paris, you know, she's just a young girl who has lost her father. Very, very hard. What could you say to her, for somebody who has been through so much yourself? What would you say to her afterwards?
JACKSON: Well, Paris is -- even Michael said, she a piece of work, you know, because, most girls are hard to raise. Piers, they are hard to raise. They are more harder than boys. But she is a nice girl. And most girls take to their father anyway.
SMDH PM wasn't asking what type of child she is, he asked how she was comforted after speaking at the memorial. And btw I'm glad Joseph finds her a 'piece of work' in that family she needs to be.
JACKSON: Oh, no. They are my grand kids. They be glad -- I was just with them yesterday. Paris wouldn't get out of the bed. She was still in the bed. Prince and Blanket was there. As matter of fact, Blanket was making a video himself.
LOL Paris was obviously pleased to see him.
JACKSON: Well, the saddest part about the whole thing was, Michael tried to reach me He says call my father. This was before he passed. He would know how to get me out of this. But they didn't get in touch with me. They said they couldn't find me. But I was right there.
And what bothers me, when he called for my help, I couldn't help him.
According to whom?
JACKSON: That is very true. He was like -- well, they treated him like Howard Hughes. They couldn't -- family couldn't get to him like they should have. And that was very wrong for that to happen. But I guess that they had a motive to keep family away. But I guess because they were saying to the fact that too many families were hanging around, may cause some type of a disturbance in what we're trying to do with this young man. Yes.
They who? Neither Howard Hughes or Michael Jackson were locked in tower by 'others' And what happened to 'Katherine was always able to see Michael' Did that change?
