First of all, Prince is still a child. Granted he is a teenager now, but he's STILL a child.ok. Prince is old enough to make up his own mind and we need to respect him and his choices the same way we did Michael's. I think this is something Prince may have actually wanted to do so i dont see any objection to it. He is not being exploited nothing has his name or likeness on it except the one he autographed which again was his choice.. We need to stop trying to control children that are not ours. Theses kids have their own minds and can, believe it or not, make them up for themselves. Respect them as we respect their father. I am very proud of him for wanting to make sure everyone has a piece of Michael. in the good way. Michael wouldn't object he was going to put out a clothing line anyway.

Sad, huh? RT @Ramona_Pritchet: @DonnaMB73 @wingheart scroll to entertainment part RT "@CNNshowbiz: Prince Jackson steps into public spotlight http://t.co/g95WMSpL"
Sad that Michael's children are put in the same position that he himself distanced himself from. Some lessons are never learned. RT @TaylaStJames: @DonnaMB73 @wingheart Oh I know its one of those weeks!Prince now gets to become the cash cow for the Jacksons,that Michael used to be.
First of all, Prince is still a child. Granted he is a teenager now, but he's STILL a child.
I love how people say: "well he is old enough to make up his own mind." Would YOU say that same thing if he "decided" that he was old enough to entertain his girlfriend OVERNIGHT?
In my opinion, it's very clear to see what's going on, i.e. his uncles need his help, because NOBODY is interested in them, unless Michael's children are involved. All of a sudden Michael is gone and his brothers have more "projects" then you can shake a stick at. LOL! Where were all of these projects when Michael was still alive?
Aside from the FACT, that Michael went to great lenghts to protect his children from certain things. That wasn't a secret, WE ALL saw Michael's actions with our own eyes when it came to his three children.
I also find it VERY embarrassing that this late in the game, the brothers, who happen to be in their 60's and 50's, STILL can't accomplish anything unless Michael's name is attached to it. At this point, they should be "trying" to make a mark by using their own, individual ideas, independent of their brother, Michael Jackson. It's no wonder that "most" of the time, folks don't even address them by their government names and just lump them all together as Michael Jackson's "BROTHERS."
that gf bull you spillin is completly different sitch and NO. damn people he has a mind
When he does distance himself they still won't admit where they went wrong. I can see them blaming "outside influences" if and when the kids distance themselves.The rate at which things are going, it's only a matter of time before Prince, just like MJ, gets fed up. At some point he'll feel used and will start taking his distance.
yeah blaming outside influences and drugs is their only way of justifying things, just like CM the Jackson's in their own world (the one they're living in), and in their brain aren't responsible for anything. A round of ''Poor Jackson's'' for them pleas.eWhen he does distance himself they still won't admit where they went wrong. I can see them blaming "outside influences" if and when the kids distance themselves.
Exactly! We are only kids for such a short time and then we are adults for soooooo long with responsibilities that can sometimes feel overwhelming.I don't know. I think he should be doing things when he is an adult.
What else can be expected from Maureen Brown? She still has a deep friendship and bond to Stacey Brown, this fact alone speaks more that a million words. She was also seen grinning from ear to ear, on the day of the memorial, while walking around in her new Gucci dress, enjoying all the attention, barely 2 weeks after Michael died. So her grinning now, is hardly surprising.People might write a book, put on a tribute concert, make a documentary/movie about his life or last rehearsals, etc. Fine--I have no problem with that. However, when all of that comes from a single person or group and becomes one thing after another all based on your brother's death, then in reality it becomes a new found career versus a way to honor someone. It is why my skin crawls sometimes seeing Rebbie with the big smile plastered across her face right before talking about Michael's death or the trial as if she is about to embark on a wonderful topic.
Prince isn't doing it for the money, but as a favor for his uncles, the four surviving original members of the Jackson 5 group that featured his father.
I am a staunch supporter of mrs ackson and I knw she has done amazing things. But this time, her judgement has been obscured. I wonder if she would've 'allowed' this to happen if.....
Jermaine, Tito, etc were not HER kids.
This is what she as a mother has always wanted....the J5 together, after all, she s a mother.
Ths time, she is blurring the lines of giving good judgement. Of course Prince is going to see her facial approval and of course he wants to please. He is a kid!
I hope that Prince will be left alone and not exploited like their father was.
MJ was 8
Prince 14
Paris 13 - she was wearing the jacket at the tribute. At first I thought, aw, that looks so nice. Now I see it as an advertisement.
The Only person for the moment that has been left alone is Blanket......but judging from his resemblance to his dad, it won't take too long.
IF Jermaine, Tito were NOT her family, would this 'endorsement' have continued? I think NOT.
But the sad thing is, the kids being put out there now still won't bring in any serious money for the family. All these ventures they attempt will always just be seen as the family exploiting MJ's kids, as most thought the family would. No way the public will get on board anything that exploits MJ's kids. I can't believe the family and these opportunists that surround them don't understand this.I personally think they'r afraid that if they keep Michaels kids out of the spotlight for too long then no one will really care for them any longer so they'r trying to keep them in the moment.I have this feeling though that Blanket is goin to be targeted the most.
Taking care to make the right decisions about what deals to accept and what to reject is crucial to protecting his brand as the eldest son of the King of Pop, he said.
