Update: Behind the Scenes on Jan 28th 8PM ET OWN Channel / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

[Asedora]

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Well, when Mike wanted to tell the truth about his skin disorder (vitiligo), he went to Oprah and after this interview the whole world was aware what he said. i know from FACT that some folks who NEVER loved Michael knew about his vitiligo from Oprah. I do believe that Katherine wants to say something important and I trust her. Oprah has a huge audience. Katherine does not do it for attention. She is not a movie star or something. She does not need it, period! the only possibility she wants to do this interview is for MJ case reason. You ppl have to understand it and STOP bashing Katherine. It is not nice!

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

as I said earlier, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Oprah has good a strong sway on the public. Why not use her to help MJ. I am comforted by Taj's tweets and they seem to echo my thoughts on the matter.

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I think you're going to get banned if you go on like this. And some of your facts are mixed up. Katherine is not using the disability act as a claim in her suit against AEG that's Joe and I doubt Randy influenced him with that. First you blamed Joe for this interview and now you want to shift the blame to Randy. You can have your opinion about the family but you seem to get more negative with each post. I've seen people like you banned rather quickly for that.

Respectfully, this isn't "another board". This board is still true to Michael and no mjo's or nutters can run this board. As long as people don;t get too crazy, this board administration is still all about Michael.

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

In my opinion, the only way Oprah's "Middle American" audience will be willing to take a second look at the Michael Jackson story as told by Oprah Winfrey, is if Oprah Winfrey, HERSELF, says: I WAS WRONG!

After all, it was Oprah who had been pounding it into the head's of her followers that Michael was [fill in the blank], so, in my opinion, the only way to turn that around would be for Oprah to admit that she was wrong about her previous assumptions and opinions regarding Michael Jackson.

Otherwise, I don't really see anything changing with regard to Oprah's REGULAR followers. Those who comprise the bulk of her audience.

I agree! :yes:

And see, that's never going to happen. Oprah is a "gatekeeper. Some of you understand what that means and by that token, she will also tow the line of the powers that be. That was her price for being a Black woman billionaire. She will never champion the likes of mainstream America's favorite whipping boy, Michael Jackson.

Well this post just proves the futility of using Oprah to refute lies that Oprah herself has embraced.
How many people until the autopsy report came out thought MJ was just changing his skin color because he wanted to be white? How many people STILL believe this even after MJ's words, the Oprah interview, the autopsy, etc?
A great number still does. I work with a bunch of these ignoramuses.

As Big Apple said, an Oprah interview is not going to change people's opinions unless Oprah herself says she was wrong. if we are just going by what the Jackson family says (When most of them have 0 credibility in people's eyes) then it is for naught.

When Oprah did her show to memoralize Mj she had the opportunity to say categorically that MJ did have vitiligo. ( I remember reading somewhere that someone who worked on the show saw it because he showed it to them behind the scenes). Even though Oprah knows that is a point of contention among non fans, she still was unwilling to do anything in his favor. What makes them think she will change now.

I know Katherine loves MJ still. I know she wants what is best for him. And it would probably be a huge comfort for her before she ends her life that in someway she can help so that the world can finally see MJ for who he really was and for the reasons he was so loved from afar by many and intimatley by a fortunate few...But sometimes intentions can be so strong that the method to realization is lost.

How does the saying go... Go to bed with a snake and you will be bit? (Or something like that).

I am really hoping for the best. Especially for Katherine and Michael's children. I know it will be a huge mountain off of all of their shoulders if they can help. But I am very worried.

Yep, and speaking for credibility. If they are truly looking to set the record straight - AGAIN - then they should have left Joe Jackson in Las Vegas. I mean no offense!

Between Lisa Marie (if her participation is true) talking about "Michael being like her father," and Joe Jackson talking about "I beat him so he wouldn't join a gang." Who will be paying attention to anything Ms. Katherine has to say. (On a side note: Does anybody really want to hear Mr. Jackson TRY and explain his "treatment" of his children back in the day?)

You see Ms. Katherine and you may say: Oh let me see what she has to say. Then you see Joe Jackson and you say: Let me turn the channel. (I mean no disrespect, but you'll know it's true.)

Everybody is OK that dr Murray is still practicing medicine, enjoying vacations?
And Katherine is not the one who "STILL" loves him. She always WILL be his mother and WILL love him forever.

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.

Ok I'll do my home work but I am assume that Oprah's show pretty much popular. And if something comes from Oprah, other media pick it up. That's what happened when MJ went to Oprah with his vitiligo story.
Also, probably Oprah is the one of who wants to do it. Maybe Larry King and some other popular media folks just do not want to deal with "MJ case".
This is my personal feeling about what is going on. I know that some publishers did not want to publish MJ bodyguard's book because this book shows Michael as a good person.
I do believe that situation might be similar with the media.

 

[AngieJ]

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Nope. He's dead now so now everybody can do and say what they want to. His wishes mean nothing. No more hopes for Jackson reunion shows, no more concerts for fans or free pizza, etc.etc so everybody's true colors are coming out. I can't believe how little some fans really thought of Michael or respected him.

It's been awfully depressing seeing some fans excuse this away on another MJ site I go to. It's like all they're concerned about is the family finally getting their time to shine and if the kids will help them get that shine, then so be it. I mean it's just so desperate.

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.

Other sites may have this behaviour but we are not one of them. Yes we ask that respect is shown towards members of Michael's family for example no extreme name calling, no potentially libellous claims made against them without proof etc but this is a Michael Joseph Jackson community. Michael Joseph Jackson is the person who comes first here, not the Jackson family.

well that's cool.. Michael needs to be defended and what his family has done to him since his death has been very disturbing.. None of them are on the same page..

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Exactly! Rep for you Miss Sophielo

Seriously though, Michael is our first, last, and only concern here, apart from his beautiful three children. Always have been always will be. I'm sorry if it comes across the wrong way sometimes, but that is surely not our intention. We do ask for respect, always.

So which menas that if someone from MJ family wants to defend Michael fans are allowed bash them for no reason like it is happaning now to Katherine his mother? I am very confused with this statement.

Everybody is OK that dr Murray is still practicing medicine, enjoying vacations?
And Katherine is not the one who "STILL" loves him. She always WILL be his mother and WILL love him forever.

You said in your post that going on Oprah was a good idea because it is an outlet to get the truth out. (or implied this). You mentioned for instance MJ going on there to talk about his vitiligo. And yes your post does prove that futility because no one's minds are going to be changed by what Kat or Joe says like they would not even believe MJ himself. If the interview is not to target the ignorant people of the world in hopes of changing their opiniion, then what is the interview for? Who's attention about the case is she trying to get. The fans already know. And, if we were the only target then going on Oprah, a person disliked by the fan community, makes no sense whatsoever.

If it is a more educated legal community that Kat is going for, those types are not Oprah's audience. A show that deals with legal issues would be more appropriate. And Kat will be unable to talk indepth about the case and why Murray should not be going on vacations (besides the fact that he killed MJ) because of ongoing cases. So why the Oprah show? (And BTW that is a huge leap to say people don't care Murray is on vacations. I can't stand it when fans think that just becuase you don't like something a family member does, it is because you are against justice for MJ. That is one of the most asinine things I have ever heard. It is just that some fans understand that there is always going to be a right and a wrong way to handle some things. We don't know all of the answers, and eveything is not black and white. But one thing we do understand is loyalty to MJ and wonder why some in the family missed class the day this was taught. Some fans are not willing to throw MJ under a bus even if it means getting a larger audience. A larger audience that Oprah has been missing lately. She is getting beaten in her ratings by Judge Judy.)

And Katherine is the one that STILL loves MJ. Some people are under the mistaken impression that she may be forgetting her son. Or that as time passes her love is waning under the influence of others who are trying to control her. I am sure her love for him is STILL very strong if not stronger because of the tasks she has before her. She probably wants even more so to protect him.

As fans we try and be supportive especially of Katherine because we know how much she was loved by her son. We have a special place for her because of him. And how happy she made him.

But stupid we are not.

We try to be balnaced and hope for the best. We KEEP hoping. We KEEP being surprised and let down. All fans do not have to feel the same. Meaning I am not saying if you do not feel as I do, you are not a fan. Different things affect people different ways. But extend the same courtesy and stop trying to act like any fan who doesn't fit this cookie cutter idealized fan, is not true to MJ or what he stood for.

Both sides need to extend this courtesy to one another.

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

ginvid, I am not going to waste my time here anymore. I said what i said and fans who has a little bit of logical way of thinking will understand my point. I was pretty clear. I am not going to play foolish here keep answering to your posts. You know what I mean and I know what you mean. I DO NOT agree with you. That's all.
Have a nice day!

 

[MJJ:G.O.A.T]

Hilarious u see the same ppl on various board under either the same or a different user name still defending that family, hilarious.
what a sick joke all this has turned into

:rofl:

" Do you know your father was a pedophile ? "

Oprah think that Mike is a pervers, so that's the first question she must ask them.

-________-

:mello: I wonder if she will ask them about the trial or if he did anything inappropriate to them. But to her the juicy questions will probably be about the night MJ died.

I'm hoping that as well.

It reminds me of when the brother's did their reality show, and the press started reporting that MJ3 would be appearing on the brother's show. In the end the children did not appear and in my opinion, nobody said anything to the contrary because it made good press for the show to let that story "simmer."

I'm thinking the same may be happening here, i.e. "make people think the children will be appearing in order to garner maximum exposure." Because like Ivy said, Joe and Katherine are not really big news. As a matter of fact I don't believe Ms. Katherine's interview on Dateline broke any records or was what they like to call "must see tv."

I also believe the purpose of this interview is to get some exposure for Ms. Katherine's book. I mean, thus far, I don't see any massive interest in the book, to be honest.

Good post. We'll see...other articles on this are just using the Daily News as the main source. Here's one below:

Michael Jackson’s children will reportedly be a part of the upcoming Oprah interview airing soon. According to the New York Daily News, Oprah interviewed Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket at the Jackson family home over the weekend.

Aside from Paris’ speech at Jackson’s memorial, this is the first time the children will be breaking their silence since their father’s death. Oprah reportedly spoke with both Katherine Jackson and Joe Jackson, and toured the property in Encino, CA.

Sources say the children spoke about their famous father’s legacy during the interview, and it will air in the coming weeks.

We know Michael did everything he could to shield his children from the public eye, but this is the perfect place for them to speak. Oprah likely conducted the interview perfectly, and allowed the children to speak out on the person they just called “daddy.”

We’re looking forward to seeing...
Michael Jackson's Kids Involved in Oprah Interview - Michael Jackson

And that's ALL I would have asked, i.e. that she show BOTH sides of the story. That way folks could make up their own minds, instead of being FORCE feed what Oprah believes and ONLY what Oprah believes.

I don't watch Oprah, but I remember reading on one of the fan boards, how Oprah liked to "all of a sudden" bring up Michael's name to certain of her guest, so that they can then share a laugh at Michael's expense. One name in particular I recall is Chris Rock.

Chris Rock being on with Oprah had nothing to do with Michael Jackson, but Oprah brought up MJ's name nonetheless, because she knew Chris Rock would have agreed with whatever she had to say about Michael. That really upset me! And is one of the reasons I don't trust Oprah Winfrey.

I've also read on a fan board that one of the occasions that Oprah brought up Michael's name was during an episode on DL men (down low=men who are hiding that they are gay). It was something like "oh, that sounds like Michael Jackson!" :doh:

Like mother, like daughter: first "The Widow Presley",
now "The Widow Jackson".

You got it. :yes:

At least the kids will have the right to speak up for daddy.

 

[LisaU123]

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Fans seem to think they are doing good by Michael to constantly criticize his family. Unfortunately they are doing the exact opposite of what Michael stood for. But thats on them, not on those of us that are more realistic. His family is not perfect but neither was Michael. You cant go to very many posts without reading negativity. Again not what Michael stood for. That isnt going to change. Unfortunately Michaels fans (most, not all) while fiercly loyal are a bit OTT. There is one board that is a but more calmer.

 

[xrisx]

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

The kids being interviewed are unconfirmed rumours at the moment. But, if this is true and they are interviewed, then I just give up with that family, I really do. All I'm hoping is that these are simply rumours.

I feel the same way. At this point it's not confirmed so I'm gonna keep hope that this isn't true but if it is...my goodness. Why do that?

 

[Asedora]

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I feel the same way. At this point it's not confirmed so I'm gonna keep hope that this isn't true but if it is...my goodness. Why do that?

So if Prince and Paris want to defend their daddy it is bad for you still? What is good then?

 

[MJJ:G.O.A.T]

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

And that's another thing, IF true, why does Lisa Marie need to be interviewed - AGAIN - after all of these years?

The only thing I can think is that Oprah will use Lisa Marie to COUNTER anything good that comes out of her sit down with Joe and Ms. Katherine.

The end results will be dueling headlines. On one side you will have The Jacksons talking about MJ being gifted, loving, and giving. On the other side you will have Lisa Marie telling Oprah how MJ was like her father and died just like her father, all with Oprah's "encouragement" of course.

In the end, we all know which headline will make the final cut!

I hear she is working on a new album. Anyways, she can't keep MJ's name out of her mouth. Imagine what her husband feels. -_- 14 years ago they divorced yet she is stuck on him. You have Riley (her daughter) supposedly saying on MySpace that LMP isn't taking MJ's death well & to pray for her. Then the Elvis druggie comparison and now she has been interviewed by Oprah. I think LMP's interview will be exactly as you said.

In my opinion, the only way Oprah's "Middle American" audience will be willing to take a second look at the Michael Jackson story as told by Oprah Winfrey, is if Oprah Winfrey, HERSELF, says: I WAS WRONG!

After all, it was Oprah who had been pounding it into the head's of her followers that Michael was [fill in the blank], so, in my opinion, the only way to turn that around would be for Oprah to admit that she was wrong about her previous assumptions and opinions regarding Michael Jackson.

Well this post just proves the futility of using Oprah to refute lies that Oprah herself has embraced.
How many people until the autopsy report came out thought MJ was just changing his skin color because he wanted to be white? How many people STILL believe this even after MJ's words, the Oprah interview, the autopsy, etc?

Good posts! I agree. I had to deal with a couple people like this today. Provided them TONS proof of vitiligo and Michael's pride in being a black man - they still insisted he wanted to be white! :smilerolleyes: I find it very hard to believe that Oprah would ever admit that she was wrong regarding the wanting to be white and pedophile claims. I don't know if Katherine will bring Oprah's past saying about MJ up or confront her. Taj did say he talked to her, but I don't know...

Yep, and speaking for credibility. If they are truly looking to set the record straight - AGAIN - then they should have left Joe Jackson in Las Vegas. I mean no offense!

Between Lisa Marie (if her participation is true) talking about "Michael being like her father," and Joe Jackson talking about "I beat him so he wouldn't join a gang."

:mello: People are bashing Katherine? I don't think anybody hates her; they are just concerned. The feeling I get is that some don't want her to do the interview with Oprah because Oprah is a MJ hater and can manipulate the outcome of the interview to be negative. But I wouldn't be surprised if some are fine with a "negative" piece since they already believe these things. -_-

The actions of other family members (some of them are advising Katherine) have already been discussed here. It's not surprising that they are being criticized. The person who posted means we are an MJ board FIRST and foremost. That doesn't mean you can't be a Jackson family fan. But some will bash Michael to defend them. I have even heard someone claim that Michael was just ungrateful for all the wonderful help Randy gave him during the trial period. :mello:

 

[ginvid]

Re: Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

To be fair, the family gives the fan community ample reason to criticize them as of late. But I do agree that it does not have to be a slaughter of them. I think sometimes, fans get so riled up because they get their hopes up that maybe this will be the time that everything will be all right. But "that time" never comes. It is SO frustrating. So I can understand when emtions take over. I don't like when the family is unnecessarily target just because they are family. But I don't think that is the case here.

But I don't see how finding fault in something the family does equates to thinking MJ was perfect. He found fault in many things, including his family. Some of which he expressed openly (although that ws rare out of respect for his family). We know MJ was very flawed. He is human afterall. I think he was a great man, but a man nonetheless.

It makes me so angry when I think about some of the things his family does. And I don't understand why they don't understand the implications of some of their actions. It really angers me, then it makes me sad. And everytime, they do something else, my feelings are compounded from past events until it is difficult for me to even give them a chance. I know that is biased. And it may even be wrong. But it is how I feel and it is honest. I have to tell myself to think positively, think positively. But then they do something else and positive is not what I am thinking. And that is the truth.

I have the feeling that many others probably feel the same way.
