Re: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Producter David Gest and Universal Pictures announce all-star World Premi
Thanks cassie mollie for that guardian article from tito. It was incredibly revealing of his and clearly the whole family's mindset. They seem to regard the whole solo career of mj's from OTW/thriller onwards as due to the bad influences in the music indistry dividing mj from his brothers - 'divide and conquer' - and the reason which led to all the negative things that happened in mj's life.
I can't believe how monumentally selfish and delusional they are. MJ was the reason the j5/jacksons were the success they were. It was mj who attracted the attention of berry gordy. As he grew up it must have been obvious to everyone that knew him that mj was destined for greatness and yet even after 10 yrs of success, instead of being grateful and supportive of mj's ambitions for himself the family wanted to keep him tied to the group, because they knew it would prob be the end of the brothers' careers.
Even after thriller when mj became the biggest solo star the music workd has seen before or since, the bros STILL expected to tour with him and bask in his success. For mj to agree to the victory tour with his brothers at the absolute zenith of his solo career was in my opinion a massive artistic and financial sacrifice, and acc to jermaine's book it doesn't seem they were that grateful, they were hacked off that mj didn't take the tour to europe!
As for all the negatives in mj's life - they all derived from his phenomenal fame after thriller - being a target for leeches, opportunists, unscrupulous journalists - not from being apart from his family. Do the jacksons seriously think with their appalling track record that they could protect mj from the worst that was out there?
