Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I'm just gonna hold back on making any further comments on this until I actually see this interview, then I'll be able to judge fairly.

No one here is judging the actual interview if it happened, because no one has seen it yet, so how could they, but more like sharing their opinions and feelings now when there's a rumour of MJ3 being involved in the interview flying.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

fortunately we don't have the sayso on the kids being interviewed or not. but nothing canstop Michael's legacy. it remains secure and good. we are among those who keep it and we are strong. the world will never fully agree on anything...politics, religion, nothing.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

what exactly is the purpose of this interview? why is Katherine doing this? if anything they should be fighting for justice and making sure Michael's killer is convicted, not talking with Oprah
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I don't know where you got that from...but that is not true.

Oprah's ratings have been in the tank for years now...compare to where they were in 2005.

I wish people would research before they post these made up lies.

...What's new?

Sure, the show's ratings have declined over the years (it is the 25th year and those kinds of ratings can't be sustained forever). However, Oprah is still the number 1 rated syndicated talk show. So yes, the statement that she has a huge audience is correct. I don't think Judge Judy does interviews from her courtroom, lol.

I'm sorry to hear it's a possibility that the kids have been interviewed. I'm not sure Michael would want that but what can you do. He's no longer here. Hopefully it will be brief, moving and tactfully handled.

Thank you, but I think it is wasting of time. Some ppl have no idea how ratings work. They probably have never seen rating's chart/diagram in their life lol

I hope so too.

Anyway, those kids (Prince and Paris) seem to be strong willed in a good way, because I thought they were the ones who wanted to go to a normal school. And everybody saw Paris asking to speak in the funeral.
So, I don't think they can force them to do something they don't want to do, just my IMO. MJ did a good job.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

OPRAH'S show is no longer appointment viewing. Hence the long, overdue goodbye.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Still nothing showing the kids participated but speculation. If they were there why wouldnt whoever sold those picures sell pics of the kids. Makes no sense.

YOU of all people are saying I don't get ratings? Is that a joke?....what she posted ACTUALLY support what I have stated before. But I am not at all surprised you did not GET the whole picture.


Oprah's show back in 2005 had close to 9 mil viewers (this is when she slandered MJ)...today....the show has around 6Mil.

The USA has over 300+ mil people...Michael Jackson sold close to 30 Mil copies os Thriller...do you really think 6Mil middle aged women will make a difference in clearing MJ's name? MJ sold more CDs than that last year. If you understand numbers...you should put this interview in perspective.

Oprah USED to be the highest rated Syndicated show..now she is the highest rated syndicated talk show.


The other poster has no concept of numbers. I was explaining to her that Oprah's audience is nothing to fuss over.

6 mil vs the 90 mil who watched the MJ interview is nothing.

There are other REPUTABLE and better RATED programs than Oprah

At most, an interview with the Jacksons WITH the kids might bring in an extra 10% rating.... Sill ....nothing to disrespect MJ & his wishes over.

if that's true.. that is sad... This family has truly disappointed me, mama Katherine included.. I honestly wish those poor kids were given to Diana Ross right off the bat.
I have to say I agree with you. :agree:
Kathering has been too concerned about generating wealth for all her other grandchildren.
Some of her grandchildren should consider going to Community College.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Yes, Oprah remains the highest rated TALK show (isn't that what I said). Like I said, they can't go on Judge Judy or Jeopardy (though, that may be more interesting). LOL.

I understand the anger you guys feel but let's not minimize the popularity of Oprah's show here. Almost every celebrity and their mother has been on Oprah during it's 25 year history.

Well, it is a fact that her ratings has gone down significantly. No one is minimizing anything...if you can disprove what I wrote go ahead.It is a fact that her ratings have gone down significantly.

60 minutes ...the show MJ went to when he needed to get his story out before the trial attract almost 2 1/2 times the number of Oprah's viewers.

They have their reasons for choosing Oprah...but we would be stupid and / or gullible to believe they are doing it to clear MJ's name. Especially now that we know Howard Mann was involved in negotiating the interview.

I dont think anyone here is doubting their ability to articulate on the matter concerning their father and whatever else. What is repulsive is allowing them to do so NOW and being asked by Oprah to speak with them on the subject. It's just too soon, she does not deserve that pleasure becuase it's will be ALL ABOUT her ratings. If they are in any segment it will be just awful wether it well well or not. Michael would of never ever allowed thm to be exposed in that manner. Speak with them in 10 years when they are young adults Blanket a teenager and are able to emotionally get a grip on all of this. My God, please not now.

Randy is such a fraud. He probably negotiated the whole thing... Now after reading TMZ & the fan forums and notice the fans OVERWHELMINGLY are against this farce...now he's putting everyone on blast.

Looking like a fresh flower.

I got you Randy!!! *wink*

You almost got me fooled...almost, not quite.

Crazier sh*t has occured. Sigh* What a mess. Im just beffudled and bewildered.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I think its clear that Randy is not behind this interview. If he were, it could easily be proven by Oprah's staff and she could easily call him out. I hope she sees his tweets and realizes her actions have not been forgotten.

I agree they should have followed Michael's lead in talking to 60 minutes if this was simply about getting the truth out but someone mentioned that Oprah is seen around the world (don't know how true that is) so I guess they wanted maximum exposure not just in the U.S.

So, if Randy is saying he didn't know which mean he's not behind it....? Then Who and Why are they blaming him for being Behind this! By that I mean Radar online's article "source!" So he got enemies now...? lol WTF..all this is so freaking crazy!
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Didn't Radar Online say Randy was behind Katherine sueing AEG, I didn't think it mentioned anything about him being behind the Oprah deal. Yeah Randy, you, being in a position to air your opinion to your parents instead bitches about things on Twitter. Yeah, real mature.
 
You guys,

I am disgusted with Oprah Winfrey for the things she has said and done in the past concerning her abuse toward Michael…

I will NEVER forget when Michael did his interview with her before any allegations had been alleged against him. When most people saw him for the kind, loving soul that God created him to be… I will NEVER forget when she followed that episode with Brooke Shields making claims that she had never dated Michael. Oprah took Brookes word and turned her back on Michael. He let her in and trusted her and she not only stabbed him in the back she left him bleeding for the sharks and piranhas to come feast on him…

I was so deep in everything I am fortunate not to have seen anything of hers for many, many years including the year of 2005.


Someone spoke of going to a party of hers once and seemed to want me to attend but the biggest reason I could find not to want to go is my recollection of what she did to Michael. I use to look at Oprah as a person with integrity and heart but now I see her as an accomplice to attempted murder.

She and many others have devised their schemes in calloused efforts that have led to his hurt and tortured spirit, to cause others to believe he is capable of things he would never, ever do. For what she has done I lay at the feet of God and wait for His vengeance.

After saying that I say this, Michael loved his mother more than any and every other woman in the world… Please, please, please do not insult or disrespect her! Even if it were someone he’d had disagreements with - his family is still his family and I know they love him despite whatever differences any of them have had.

I know it may seem to not be a wise choice for any Jackson to ever do an interview with Oprah Winfrey but before we pull out our slingshots for bitter words towards Oprah, let’s wait and see what transpires. Maybe she will finally repent of the wrong she has done towards him? Maybe she wont and God will punish her accordingly I don’t know but what I do know is that Michael loved his family and we need to support them as best we can- even if we disagree their choices…

I again, detest the way Oprah has treated Michael and if I were to have met her a simple hello may have been difficult for me to muster, but everyone deserves a chance to repent, make things right and receive forgiveness or to hammer the nails in their own coffin. It’s her choice… Let’s just support the family?

God bless!!!
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

So Randy is upset with his parents for going on Oprah but he's not upset at his sister Janet going on Oprah calling MJ a drug addict and throwing MJ under the bus?


Lord this family are pieces of work.. I can understand why MJ kept his distance.

And I wonder what his feelings are about his girl going on Oprah allegedly.. Remember Randy is the one that said Lisa Marie called him and asked could she decorate Mike's tomb with sunflowers and Randy told her 'she could do as she liked'.. So I'm sure if Karen knows about LMP's Oprah interview I'm sure Randy knows about it, yet he wasn't aware of his parent's interview with Oprah??

I agree Randy is kind of suspect here.. I don't know who or what to believe when it comes to him.

exactly i can't agree more , especially janet's part.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

LOL.

If Randy is against this interview, he can go straight on tv and say clearly : Oprah think my brother is a pedophile, so I don't want her near to PPB.It's a shame that my parents invited her in the house of my brother, he's rolling in his grave now.

His tweets go nowhere, just on MJ boards.

Some fans like the fact that the kids want to speak about their father.
That's ok, they like their father.

BUT TO SPEAK WITH A WOMAN WHO THINK THAT THEIR FATHER IS PEDOPHILE??????????????????????????

A SHAME! A insult for mike! And let say the truth, MIKE DIDN'T WANT HIS KIDS ON NATIONAL TV DAMN IT!

People who think he was a pedophile will always think like this because they are stupid!

It's not 3 youngs kids who can change that.

I'm done with all the Jacksons.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

exactly i can't agree more , especially janet's part.


I know.. it's very suspect.. we all know Randy was the one feeding Janet all of those MJ is addicted stories because she had no idea what was going on with MJ via her own words since she hadn't seen him in years. Randy fed her those stories back in 2006-2007. I don't trust Randy at all
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

It's been a while since i posted. I got tired of the RABID hatred some fans here have for the Jacksons, and i wan't bother to rehash that.

BUT for once i'm VERY VERY VERY hapy with Randy. The best thing that can be done is to bring the hypocricy to the surface.

For Oprah to have aired that show during jury deliberations shows she was heavily invested in an injustice. I didn't even know she aired such a show, all i remeber were comments by her and her guests during the trial.

Let's not forget one of the jurors said she was a fan of Oprah, the media covered this, Oprah knew it and she also knew the juroros were not sequestered, so she knew all too well her actions were to manipulate teh jury to exercise and injustice, and guess who delayed the verdict for a week? That 79 old woman watching Oprah garbage rather than focussing on testimony. When finally the jurors got the testimony to be re-read, the woman had no excuse and it was acquittal on ALL COUNTS.

So, for Randy to home in nicely on Oprah her that not everyone has forgoten what she did, right from MJ's family to the fans.

But for the constant bashing of the Jackson family, that they are after money, this and that, the family is large and like a big group of people, each is entitled to their view.
Just like in your own family not everyone agrees on the same things, the difference is you are not celebrities. And the media including some fans try to find ways to riles against family members they don't like.

Janet's views do not bother me that much, they may be hurtful but what i realised long ago is that being his family does not mean they knew or understood MJ that well.

If i were to ask, some people here don't know their siblings quite well, especially when you grow up and lead several lives. You don't know your brother's or sister's finances, friends, eating habits, health condition, and all the detailed information about their lives. Now magnify that a thousand times when it comes to MJ and all the finances, advisers, doctors, business asociates and a lot more that sorounded him. How could Janet or Reby know this when Janet has her hands full with her own career and life, the same with Rebbie and so on.

For the public watching, because they are siblings, what they say about MJ will be taken as gospeal. But as a fan, who has an interest and therefore detailed knowledge of MJ, you know things Janet and others don't know.
Some of Janet's knowledge about MJ's health depends on what she hears being gossiped and it impacts her view. But if you were to ask Janet where MJ was on this date and that date, she wouldn't have a clue.

So yeah, when she talks, her ignorance combined with relation to MJ and reliance on gossip causes hurt, but atleast i know she speaks from ignorance as she hadn't seen MJ for many years except maybe a few family days, whereas fans kept a track on MJ from 2005 till 2009 and we all know he was in good health.

But for people like Oprah who go out of their way to hurt MJ, then she cannot invite Meseareau on her show, she is the one that needs to be called out.
If i was Randy, I would challenge Oprah to do the honorable thing in tribute to MJ and have Mesereau as a guest so as to put things right. Someone should tweet Randy and urge him to pursue this. Let Oprah give Mesereau sufficeint time to speak for MJ on that silent topic because if Jay Leno gave Mesereau time without voice-overs, there is no reason why Oprah cannot do so.

You are very wrong to say Randy fed Janet those stories. What meeting were you at with Randy and Janet present that you had him feed her such stories.

You are acting just like tabloids running with half-truths and you yourself are now feeding fans with misinformation.

Hold back your hatred for Randy just a bit. If he said something then refer to that, but don't transpose it to another scenario that you were not a party to.
 
Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

sorry but Randy is an hypocrite.

He's trying to exploit these kids for his own benefit.

And don't forget the MJJ Source fiasco, the lawsuits, the missing money, the "sale" of Sony/ATV, etc...


He just wants to be the hero : he is the one who has cancelled the Rome tribute, etc... and Some fans are falling in this trap
