Prince, Paris, Blanket only duty is to grow beautifully and harmoniously, not to help in the image of their father.
Exactly.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I was surprised to see you here Mr. Jackson.....'

I think with this statement she want us and everyone to believe that Joe has nothing to do with this interview.
Why?
Because is not going to look good for her, if the audience feel she's having this interview thanks to Joe. That's what I think.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

These pictures break my heart to see, it really does :(

Me too!! i can't help but think about everything Michael went through for these kids. He tried so hard to protect them and keep them safe. I don't think I will be able to watch. It hurts too much...:no:
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

She seems like she's going to be really stern towards Joe...
At the end of the preview, why does it says "Today's Oprah"...is the show airing today now?

That's what I was wondering as well.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Just the tone of this clip made me cringe. She's trying to make Katherine cry (and us).

Asking Joe what he's doing there? Hummmm.

Joe should answer back: "Funny, I was gonna ask you the same thing?

Ha Ha that's really funny. I wish he did, but she would edit it of course.

Oprah wanted Katherine to be her mother-in-law?! But, she don't even like Michael! But, now she wanted to be his sister-on-law? Get the F*** out of here!
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

^^What did they say?

Oh dear god no :doh:
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

All I have to say about all of this is.. 'why?' :no:


^^What did they say?


^ They didn't say a whole lot. They just showed the preview/commercial, and that backyard photo of them while explaning what they were wearing, their hair, etc.. and mentioned that Prince & Paris go to school, but that Blanket is still homeschooled.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Thank you!
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

This is true. One see a child that is happy and it's looking very intelligent, but that doesn't mean that certain challenges won't prove too hard, and in time won't do harm.

Humans got subconscious processes, and children might appear very ok after a big trauma, but deep down they can still hurt badly. Why pushing them in further stressful situations, or situations that they would look at them differently in few years...?

In my opinion those children entered into public attention too soon - 2 weeks after their father death, at memorial. Maybe it helped in some way, however was way too soon. Then the Grammies... That was totally unnecessary and again too soon... Why put them to collect awards for their father? Now this interview, even if they would appear shortly, why should they help to their father legacy? They can do it so well when they will be adults.



Meanwhile that legacy can be enforced by a united voice of the family, by them not going to tabloids, by stopping various stories about Mike being as manipulated, druggie puppet and fake interventions. Or about Omar, or etc It would be easier to do that. Mike children won't be necessary then.

Prince, Paris, Blanket only duty is to grow beautifully and harmoniously, not to help in the image of their father. For this, stories from third parties are enough, stories that tells us how smart, educated, good kids they are.

They are way too young to be in the spot light and still have a lot of growing to do. Prince and Pareis are entering puberty which bring about so many new emotional behaviors. They may have said, "sure, I would like to be on the show", not even knowing the dynamics of Oprah's covert activities. Blanket however, hasn't gone through that state yet and is still very young minded.

It breaks my heart to see Katherine tearing up. This whole mess was uncalled for.
As far as Oprah in the past being Katherine's daughter-in-law...pft, that was bait to get to an interview with Katherine. Can you imagine Jakie and Opra as a couple? Hell naw... Oprah is a would have been running Havenhurst and the story would have played out very differently. My opinion. :stink::sigh: Oprah never wanted a man if so, she would have had and kept one. She is too controlling and she wiggled her way in the Havenhurst home. She's not stupid :scratch:
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

^^The part about Jackie and Oprah as a couple--brings tears of laughter to my eyes. We know why she brought up that point now and not years ago. Oprah has an agenda related to Michael and it is not a very pretty one unfortunately. I know she would be polite to Katherine; still I do not like her using the children to induce excitement about the show. I wonder if she considers that ABUSE, since she uses the word loosely.

I heard the Glenda tapes.
I STILL say Michael ain't what he is without his family.
Neither am I. Neither are you. Neither is anybody.

Oh sure Michael learned & took himself further. But he couldn't have gotten there without his family to nurture him & teach him.

I'd love to see a newborn baby raise himself. I'd love to see a fetus form without a mother's womb.
The fact is in life NOBODY did it all themselves. We are all interdependent.

Did you know that one of Michael's early singing influences was his big brother Jermaine? Yeah that Jermaine the fans love to run down all the time.

Did you know that Michael credits Joe for his upbringing as much as he laments over the emotional pain it caused?

Without Katherine & Joseph Jackson there would literally BE no Jackson 5, thus there would be no Michael Jackson. And I ain't talking about just giving birth. I'm talking about parenting, raising, creating that family bond, discipline, nurturing, feeding, clothing, washing, teaching.

When you grow up, you go your own way & make your own choices. But before you do that, you gotta have that foundation to start from. Buildings don't form from the middle up. They form from the bottom up. It don't start from the sky. It starts from ground zero.

Without Katherine's influence & Joe's drive, how do you think Michael would have turned out? He might have been an arrogant lazy SOB. That perfectionism we enjoy from Michael comes from Joe. That kindness we love from him comes from Katherine. His want to be like Jesus comes all those days in Kingdom Hall where Katherine chose to keep him in church rather than them Gary streets. His belief in the impossible becoming possible (I will sell 20 million records) came from Joe refusing to let their dreams become small.

And when those Glenda tapes were made Michael was a much younger person who didn't have his own kids yet. But you see him in those Bashir outtakes & that Geraldo interview & see how he now understands more about his parents ways now that he's become a parent. That's how it usually happens.

Joe & Katherine sheltered their kids from the harsh Gary streets through music & church. Michael sheltered his kids from the harsh glare of fame with masks & home schooling. The details are different but the theme is the same.

Rebbie was little mama making sure Michael ate his collard greens.
Jackie stayed on Michael's butt to do his homework.
Tito was the one who exampled that Michael could show his talent when he took out the guitar.
Jermaine was the big brother that he looked up to.
LaToya was the big sister to tease & make fun with.
Marlon was Michael's little buddy to run around play with.
Randy was little brother who he could protect & look out for.
Janet was little sister who he could inspire & share like minds.

His family shaped the very person he was. What did Michael do—even as late as This Is It—every time it came to the J5 medley? He called out the names of his brothers, one by one in the spotlight. Michael knew that he could not be if it wasn't for the Jackson 5. He knew he could not be if it weren't for his family.

I don't care how many times they fell out with each other or fussed or argued or whatever. At the end of the day, he knew family was important. It doesn't matter about professionally. Personally is all that mattered.

Some of these fans have really got it twisted. I'm here to straighten you out.
John Lucas

I agree 100% :agree:
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Michael is gone, but his children remain, and they should be our focus, now. I doubt they know the history of Oprah, and her legacy of abuse of their father. They are intelligent, but are simply not old enough to be able to make these kinds of informed choices.

These precious children should NEVER have been included in this interview.
The stance of their father was NOT ambiguous, and we KNOW it. They were to be kept out of the public eye, and not robbed of their childhoods, as he was.

Whatever we can do to see this NEVER happens again, we should do, in Michael's memory, and for those precious kids he left behind.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

There's no way those kids have any idea what Oprah did to their father because if they did, they wouldn't have sat down and talked to her.

Goodness, I just hope these kids come out alright. I can picture these kids wandering around angry their whole lives...

Look at what Lisa Marie went through and her dad wasn't nowhere near as bait for the press as Michael was. Her teen years were drowned in drugs and pain. Look at the Osbourne kids. There's so many 'celebrity kids' examples out there. Damn.

I just hope they go the right path that their dad was taking them. But seeing how they are being used for anything that's about their dad, the future *can* be bleak. I hope they get good counceling. I hope Michael had a journal so his kids can read it or something....

For god sakes, someone give those kids to Diana Ross. :rolleyes:

She only said that because as a teen she was on love with Jackie Jackson (see today's show with Jackie Jackson as Oprah's surprise date) and she has said many times throughout the years on her show (including to Michael himself) that her goal when she was a kid was to Marry Jackie Jackson. Thus the remark (I assume facetiously) about wanting Katherine to be her mother-in-law.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

oprah is airing a special about grown ups who got molested as children right before the interview???

WTF oprah!?!?!?! its NO coincident. its television. EVERYTHING is planned. its manipulating. you are the master of manipulating. I HATE YOU!!!!!! like i hate L.M.P. as well!

sad world with the media and its 2 actors who are you!!!!!
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I have found this on an other site, but I don't know if true :

According to Gayle King (on her satellite radio show) Oprah did NOT "court" or seek out the Jackson's in any way, it was Marc Schaffel (porn producer/KJ biz partner) who CONTACTED the Oprah team. Oprah & her team were planning an episode on "Teen Heartthrobs" (which coincidentally aired today) and when Oprah was a kid her "crush" was Jackie Jackson. The ONLY call Oprah's team made was to Jackie to see if he would participate.
Days later the Oprah producer assigned to the Jackie Jackson segment received a phone call and faxed letter from Marc Schaffel on behalf of Joe & Katherine Jackson pitching an interview for KJ's book about MJ. THE OPRAH TEAM REJECTED THE PITCH FROM MARC SHAFFEL, JOE, & KJ saying thanks but no thanks.
A few days after Oprah's team turned them down Marc Schaffel contacted them again to say that "Mr. & Mrs. Jackson would 'sweeten' the deal and allow Oprah an 'exclusive' interview w/ the children of MJ if she would agree to feature KJ on her show." According to Gayle, there was MUCH debate between the producers whether or not to do the show. Gayle said the Oprah team is taking great care in the way they are featuring the kids. She said Schaffel made it clear to producers that the Jackson's were willing to leverage the children to promote their biz ventures to other outlets.

I know this already! And I still didn't like hearing it!

To me when Oprah did the 93 special it was clear she didn't get Michael! The way she ask her questions were just silly! Asking him does he bleach his skin...:bugeyed and is his skin that why cause he don't want to be black! :doh: She asked that way because she too believe the rumors!

She thought it was like real freaking bleach...:smilerolleyes: u know products for like floors or clothes!:doh: She implied someone needs lots of them to be able to do that to themselves!:bugeyed She even talks about seeing bleach in commercials, then sings a jingle while MJ looks at her with amazement! And he then response to her all upset!

She also admitted that she thought she would see animals running around inside his home too!:mello:

Then after the allegations she got him even less!:no: She may love Jacket but, she doesn't even tries to understand MJ!:( So there for I don't love or understand her!-_-

To me this seems more like PR control. Oprah found out of some strong reactions MJ fans got, and suddenlly we found out this.

The bold text is so transparent, look how much attention is payed to stress that Oprah is taking great care of the kids. If this does not scream PR disaster control... well..... for me it's clear LOL

I wouldn't be surprised to find out this is actually true. I mean, let's be for real, an interview with JUST Ms. Katherine and Joe Jackson ain't gonna sell by itself.

First of all, Ms. Katherine already did that Dateline interview and it broke no "viewer" records and Joe Jackson is always talking to somebody. LOL! But now you add Michael's children to the mix and you have what they like to call "Must See TV."

I said it before and I'll say it again: "It's all about that book and being able to move copies." (I have a feeling that aside from a handful of MJ fans who visit his various sites, this book has not moved that many copies.)

Michael would be horrified, IF this story is true!
