In Joe Jackson’s mind, who needs a DNA test. As long as Omer Bhatti continues to dance like a Jackson. Yes, he is indeed the son of Michael Jackson and also Joe’s blood grandson.
Gotta love the Jackson circus, in raising a new generation of Jackson family show biz kids to feed America’s obsession with the Jackson family.
Papa Joe Jackson, is just keeping it going, giving the American Public want they want. Why doesn’t he just sing the lyrics of Billie Jean? Or have Omer Batti dance to them. Once a show biz dad, always a show biz dad… Ha ha! :)
John Mayer, said he was totally honored that the Jackson family invited him to perform at the Memorial Tribute to Michael Jackson. May said on Larry King Live:
“The first thing I said was a question – does this really come from the family? I think that was essential to me sort of processing the honor. And when I found out that, in fact, it had, it took me about 48 hours to sort of strike the balance in how I was going to approach being — you know, being invited to this unbelievable event without actually having the proximity to Michael Jackson, personally. I’d never met him.”
Of the instrumental version that John Mayer did of Jackson’s hit “Human Nature” he said it was a conscious choice not to sing the hit song.
“The decision to not sing is just out of knowing what’s best for me… I think it’s quite a mine field to go into trying to in any way replicate vocally what Michael Jackson has done. And in a way, it was sort of respectfully leaving an absence, you know, sort of the presence of his absence.”
Looking back on Tuesday’s memorial, Mayer said he is amazed at how “humanizing it was. You know, Michael Jackson wasn’t super human. He was extra human.”
… “I think everybody who watched the service, I think by the end of it — the best service of all was the service done to Michael Jackson to sort of render him finally as being a human being.”
On his Twitter Mayer added, Wednesday, “How do I resume Twittering after a day like yesterday?”My cells feel different. Thank you to you all for your kind of loving replies.”
He’s turning out to be a sensitive artist and a statesman of entertainment. Nice one John Mayer. Thank you! [Image via Wenn]
In his death, Michael Jackson mania continues here in America. His music is selling uber units, according to Billboard charts and the Jackson family have been approached to do a tribute show to the late singer in Las Vegas.
All of these choices for Michael Jackson’s surviving siblings… what will they do?
For now, they’re concentrating on grieving and putting their energies to ensuring that their brother’s send off is conducted in a manner befitting for the King of Pop.
Tuesday here in LA, is going to be bedlam. If you aren’t going to MJ’s Memorial then stay away from downtown unless you live and work there! It’s a really good time to call in sick… oops did I just write that? Yeah I did! :)
All major US networks are covering the memorial service. It’s a very big day from The City of Angels. There’s only ever been one King of Pop, in the USA.
In order to cope with the huge amount of requests to attend Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service at LA’s Staples Center, the Jackson family set up a website allowing wannabe attendees the ability to enter their names in a LOTTERY to attend. All countries are welcome to apply within.
But wow… what a totally mad way to be remembered? Love it! An MJ Memorial lottery. Over 500 million people have checked out the website to attend. Nuts!
Now this makes sense! MJ’s momma, Katherine Jackson has been awardedtemporary guardianship of her late son, Micael Jackson’s three children. Mrs Katherine Jackson who is 79 is now the parent of Prince Michael Jr., 12, Paris Michael Katherine, 11, and Prince Michael II, 7.
The order last until July 6, Monday, where permanent guardianship will then be decided by an LA County Superior Court judge.
It’s nice to know, the courts are working with the Jackson family to offer support and security to Michael’s three children at this time. These kids are much loved!
Craig Harvey ,The Chief Coroner Investigator of The LA County Coroner’s office just spoke in a live press conference saying… that an announcement of the official coroners’ findings has been deferred… for another 4 – 6 weeks.
More time is needed for a toxicology report to take place. There is no external damage to Michael Jackson’s body though.
So the questions are now:
was Michael Jackson over-medicated by one of his doctor’s?
did Michael Jackson ‘self over-medicate’ in an accidental overdose scenario?
or like Heath Ledger, did he take the wrong concoctions of medication at the same time?
or option d) was coronary arrest the main cause through other factors, like stress, without toxicology being a main factor?
It’s good that the LAPD and LA County Coroner are covering all bases. But the questions remain unanswered at this point and there is yet no closure for the Jackson family for at least another month.
Remembering Michael Jackson, This is the only duet video hit, that Michael Jackson ever did with his sister Janet Jackson. Who can forget Scream.
As yet there is no statement from Janet Jackson on her brother’s shock death. Jermaine Jackson’s statement from the Jackson family is at this time, Janet’s statement too.
BRIAN AUSTIN, A JACKSON FAMILY REP SPEAKS TO KCAL9 NEWS:
Los Angeles – Brian Austin who has worked with Michael Jackson for 20 years, has talked to reporters from his time spent inside the Jackson family home.
Brian Austin says: “Randy Jackson is speechless, he is in shock. Jermaine Jackson is speechless, he is in shock. All of the Jackson family are just hugging each other and are just speechless at this time. The words are not coming. There are just now words in their grief.”
We feel for the Jackson family so much at this time at their very personal loss. Hundreds of fans are gathered outside the hospital in LA where Jackson is at the UCLA Medical Center. His music is being played loudly by his fans.
Brian Austin describes the experience as being “surreal.” Police are making a thorough investigation of Michael Jackson’s home right now in LA, to ensure there was no suspicious circumstances in his unexpected and shocking death.
