Joe Jackson says that Michael is making a bigger impact than ever since his June death from an apparent drug overdose.

"He's worth more dead than when he was alive," Joe, 80, tells "Extra" in an interview that airs Thursday night. "I'd rather have him alive."

As Michael's movie "This Is It" rakes in $2.2 million in the box office, Joe adds, "When he was living, they didn't show this."

Joe admits he wasn't on board with the flick at first, which documents Michael rehearsing for his comeback tour of the same name.

"I didn't know what 'This Is It' meant," says Joe, who spoke to "Extra" in Las Vegas at the unveiling of a celebrity star honoring him and his famous family.

But the movie allows him to remember Michael "as I knew him best: performing and dancing on stage. Entertaining people," he says.

Hearing Michael's songs make Joe "very emotional," he admits. He sometimes sheds tears "when I'm off to myself and I start thinking about things that we went through," he says. "No one will ever see me, though."

He has harsher feelings for his son's doctor, Conrad Murray, who is currently under investigation on manslaughter charges.

Joe says if he saw Murray, he'd "knock him out."

I dunno what he means by saying when he was living they didn't show this. MJ had the Making of Thriller, Moonwalker & Ghosts. He had Moonwalker and Ghosts released as movies. The worth statement is depressing. Too many people saw this man as $$$.

I figured that Joe is more of a tough guy who wouldn't cry in public or show much emotion. :(

I HATE HOW THE MEDIA WRITES THINGS! Look at this, they try to make it sound like Michael was a drug addict who killed himself!!
 
I really hope Joe Jackson truly cared about his son and that he would rather have him living, but if he doesn't want to be bashed and he wants the fans to stand by him, why blurt out crap like that in the first place?
Doesn't he know that the media will take those words and plaster them everywhere, instead of "But I'd rather have my son living"? He didn't learn anything from all that his poor son had to go through in life with the press?
I think he's just plain wrong and cold-hearted for saying such things, not to mention everything else he's pulled since Michael passed away.

Is it just me, or is it the fact that Joe Jackson himself gets more annoying as the days go on??
 
As far as Joe's statement is concerned, that Michael is worth more dead than alive it has been widely reported in the business press recently, so the general perception out there is that is the case. I watched an interview where he spoke about this and didn't feel he meant it in a bad way, I think he's suggesting, that Michael was undervalued in monetary, artistic and character terms and not promoted positively whilst he was alive, yet that has changed now he's no longer here :(

Reading around various places, comments etc... I would agree that a lot of people appear to have got that perception, from the term 'drug overdose', they should at least call it as it is, a prescription drug overdose, but should also be reporting that it was adminstered by another too. But the media is largely controlled by people who are pushing a particular picture and other reporters and people just then regurgitate rather than investigate.
