Comment: How SILLY of EUR NOT to make Debbie Rowe's wanting her children and taking out a restraining order on Joe Jackson the top story. SMDH.

Name: Grace12_34
Comment: This would've been SOME concert. I can't wait until the entire rehearsal comes out on DVD. What's up with the HAIR?! What kind of wig is THAT?!

Name: nightshift
Comment: He didn't move so much like an old man but, this is a lame video....probably died of embarassment.

Comment: Nightshift if anybody should die of embarrassment it is you. What a stank azz btych you are!

Comment: I seriously think he was going to make a big comeback (even though I don't like the word "comeback"). The concert was going to get rave reviews and his upcoming album was gonna probably be off the hook. Ne-Yo was supposed to collaborate with him. That would have been a perfect pair because if you think about it, you can substitute MJs voice in any Ne-Yo song and it would sound right. Ne-Yo would have brought MJs music to today. It would have charted on both the R&B and pop charts. But I guess we'll never know...

Comment: Grace, that greedy bytch wants to take her two children thereby separating them from Blanket. That is so wrong because Blanket has been in Jr. and Paris' life all of their lives. How many fycking times is that piece of dumpy shyt going to sell those poor kids? Joe needs to sit his broke azz pimp self down and be quiet because the more he's in the media talking about we gon' take those kids and give them a good education, etc., the more the deciding judge might rule against him. After all, if it is shown that Joe will be helping to 'raise' Michael's children, the judge just might say to Katherine, you couldn't protect Michael from his father, you are much older now, so how in the h.e.l.l. are you going to protect Michael's children from Joe? I'm telling you Joe is putting the future of the children at risk. No judge in america or for that matter, no person in america, wants Joe around those children. Why did the bytch take out a restraining order against Joe? I didn't know there was any interaction between she and Joe, or for that matter, between she and ANY of the Jacksons, including her kids!

Comment: On the otherhand, unfortunately, there's TOO MANY "walking deadmans", functional drunks and overly pill poppin folks who should take heed to MJ's demise .

Name: sultry
Comment: nightshift if I may ask what was lame about that video and why do you feel Michael died from embrassment? Are you the only one who do not really care for Michael? I would like to know because he was loved by people from all walks of life and i am curious as to why you would say such a thing. He look great to me and the video proved that he was just as smootha as ever. Perfection, Smooth, Magnificant, Awesome, Breathtaking, etc. shall I go on? You should apologise for that comment because you are sounding like all of the negative others such as the media with that comment.

Comment: For a 50 YO Bro He looks good...Man that show would have been sick and I was ready to cop my copy on Blu Ray (as soon as AEG released it) Will have to settle for the dry run...better than nothing......Listening to "Can't Get Out Of The Rain" as I type. Next up "Will You Be There".

Name: Lorraine315
Comment: olskool4life, I bet there are a whole lotta folks in Hollywood this week worried about their own "legal" drug supply. The death of MJ has not only the cops investigating but also the Cali attorney general and the DEA.

Comment: Debbie has already lost by selling the Kid's twice and than never paying the Kid's a monthly or weekly visit...next....Money is all she see's....A waste of time, her Lawyer must be whispering in her ear.

Comment: nightshift...everybody is entitled to their opinion...I will say back off the crack pipe and look at the clip again....joking...Hater's never prosper tho.

Comment: Lorraine315...since they didn't secure the scene, the corrupt L.A. Police are also under investagation for shoddy work and incompetence.

Comment: I haven't watched CNN for a couple days, so this latest Debbie Rowe development is news to me. I'm not surprised though. I don't put anything past a woman who will rent her womb and sell her babies. *rolls eyes in disgust...*

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: The people in the know are expecting 750,000 fan's to show up at the Staple Arena to pay their respect (which is owned by the concert promoter AEG). Anybody care to place a friendly bet it will be higher?

Name: Lorraine315
Comment: yeah that is true soulmusic101, and as for that Debbie Rowe woman, the trick is also talking about getting a restraining order against Joe Jackson to keep him away from the children. I just hope the Jackson's airing their dirty laundry in the past in public does not come back to bite them in the a$$. Most folks know that Joe lives in Las Vegas BUT the "haters" are saying that being around Joe is not a safe enviroment for MJ's children. Frankly I dont think the family even pays much attention to Joe anymore. Its more of a "Oh shut up and go sit down somewhere Joe..." type of situation

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: Lorraine315...Old Joe know he is being watched and like you said he is out in Vegas making it rain at one of the local strip joints....I added the strip joint part...lol

Comment: Nightshift, In the words of Gen Hackman in "Enemy of the State", you either incredibly smart or incredibly stupid. I would say somewhere in the middle. True the video is lame, but not or the reasons you are implying. You must not know about performing or rehearsing for a show. It's obvious everybody was going through the motions because the first show was so far away. Plus it was a tech rehearsal where the director was making sure lighting and sound cues were right.

Name: kwrob
Comment: On the same day MJ was rehearsing for his concert, Al B Sure was in Tom Joyner's studio, and they were playing snippets from his latest CD. One of the cuts was a remake of "Lady In My Life". Then after the BET Awards, Jamie told NeYo he should do a remake since he ripped it in the show. Well Al beat him to it.

Name: Lorraine315
Comment: LOL soulmusic101, I believe at one time a few years back Joe did have some sort of "revue" in Vegas- a show with a "professional" female dancers.

Name: Big10
Comment: I think the greedy heiffer had every intention to seek custody. Her lawyers threw in that restraining order against Joe as leverage/sympathy. The will should stand, and those kids should not be seperated. By the way, at what age is it (in California)that the children can decide who they want to live with? Joe is in his 80's now. Those kids will probably whip his @$$. Michaels mom and the rest of the family wont let Joe do anything to those kids, that should be the least of her worries. Who knows why they chose the Staples Center unless it was to deter large crowds. There would have been no problem filling up the Rose Bowl or the Coloseum for his memorial service because there was reports of people from all over the world showing up.

Comment: This video should make us consider more seriously the theory of foul play. As MSM2g said yesterday, “People had reason to take MJ out. … At issue are two sets of as.sets. One is Jackson's master recordings .. The other is Sony/ATV, the music publishing company that Jackson co-owns with Sony” … “It's also unclear if Jackson's will made provisions for the release of his music, though entertainment lawyer Steve Gordon, who worked at Sony in the 1990s, told the AP that Jackson owned some of his master recordings and others were owned in partnership with Sony. Sony retains exclusive distribution rights for anything Jackson produced while under contract to the company.” http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1615178/20090702/jack son_michael.jhtml ... “Jackson and Sony formed their joint venture in 1995, with the singer contributing ATV Songs, whose 4,000 tunes included most of the Beatles catalogue. He had bought ATV a decade earlier from Australian businessman Robert Holmes a Court, famously outbidding McCartney in the process. ..But mystery now surrounds the beneficial ownership of Jackson's stake. According to a lawsuit filed in 2002 by a creditor, he secured bank loans totaling US$270 million (NZ$419.26m) two years earlier using both his Sony/ATV stake and the copyrights to his own songs as collateral.” http://tvnz.co.nz/business-news/jackson-s-death-leaves -beatles-songs-in-limbo-2809465 .... Was it a doctor prescribed overdose? Were higher powers behind it? I don’t care how Michael died, it shouldn’t have happened. Not now. That man was not sick. Somebody need to go to jail.

Comment: ...Saw the video...Hmmmm, HE did look a lil thin but he was working with the fuccing Hulk...He woulda put on a few pounds...His voice didn't sound bad...It woulda gotten stronger as he rehearsed...His stage pressence was always gonna be on point...MJ coulda got on stage with fuccing Rush Limbaugh and MADE him look like a pro...I joked 'bout him...but I really wanted him to pull this last-concert off...Secretly, I guess everybody was pulling for him...I've watched his video's and played his records...No matter how many time I see or hear 'em...It always makes me smile...No matter what you say 'bout him, you can never, say sh1t 'bout his professionalism...He was consumate

Comment: This is some strange stuff- A Drug Overdose Insurance Policy???? AEG took out a hefty insurance policy in case Michael Jackson's 50 London concerts fell through -- turns out the policy covered an MJ overdose. AEG's chief executive Randy Phillips said the $17.5 million insurance policy from Lloyd's of London didn't cover a death from natural causes. Phillips said the policy would still fall short of the money spent on Jackson's advance, producing the show, covering some of MJ's debts and paying his staff and rent -- which cost between $25 and $30 million

Comment: Mike was a skinny dude for awhile...not the type of dude you would at am all you can eat buffet...looked normal to me....Katherine and the Clan may want to watch Sony and the other vultures...the PS3 is doing horrible and Sony stays shady....I'm just saying...no proof but business is business.

Comment: typo...see at an all you can eat....

Name: Grace12_34
Comment: Yup, she certainly did "rent her womb," BUT I hope she gets those kids. She's the natural mother, and the law is on her side. I SHUDDER at the thought of those kids being raised with the Jacksons with all their "issues." Good luck with all of it!

Name: Conrad
Comment: If a third of the news we are hearing about Michael's drug use (and there have been some credible people speaking out on it), then I don't believe for a minute there was foul play. Any one of the drugs he was allegedly taking could have easily killed him. Now I'm hearing that he traveled with an I.V. and a drip! Michael was a genuis and apparently a tortured soul. Ninety-nine point nine percent of america have no idea, and never will, how Michael lived his life behind closed doors.

Name: Conrad
Comment: Grace, if that bytch gets those kids (whom I'm told they don't even know) what's to say she won't ship them off to school in Europe year-round and live her life as before, but with a helluva lot more of Michael's disposable income. Emotional abuse can be worse than physical abuse. From all reports, these three children are well adjusted. Then, what do you propose they do with Blanket? He will miss his brother and sister, as they will miss him. This will just mess them up further, psychologically. These unfortunate children, and they are unfortunate, money notwithstanding, need to be kept together.

Comment: he was still so on point and classic MJ, he has given alot for us all to reflect on. i don't think many of us could imagine having a talent and life that has been so public for over four decades. he always said the stage was where he was most comfortable, and this always shows, extraordinary professional. RIP MJ.

Comment: B00TANEB00TUS: "Hmmmm, HE did look a lil thin but he was working with the fuccing Hulk...He woulda put on a few pounds." ... I wouldn'te bet on it. Ferrigno said Michael only ate one meal per day and they only used 2 pound weights because Michael didn't want to bulk up.

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: Q said this sh1t is gonna be all 'bout the money...I hope that Rowe chick dosen't get those kids...WTH is Rebbie?...You don't hear sh1t 'bout her...She could probably provide those kids with the anonymity they're gonna need...I hope muthafuccers don't fucc up those kids money tryna finance tours, deals with Chi-lites...business ventures and other crazy sh1t...

Comment: BOOT, someone is going to be watching like a hawk to make sure that trust is not mispent. Once again, Michael was a bloody genius in dumping the contents of the will into the Michael Jackson Family Trust.

Name: Reds
Comment: Earlier I said this was going to be another Jimi Hendrix, where some white outsider gets everything and the blood relatives got nothing. This Debbie Rowe move basically sealed the issue. If she is actually the biological mother, it's a done deal. And even if she isn't, it will be a close call. Not only will she get her two kids, if they are hers, but also the third one, because the white judge will argue against separating them. And of course, more kids, more money. All of Michael’s millions will be going to a white non-blood relative, just as Hendrix. That's sad. That's sad.

Name: Cappaucino
Comment: Well those are her kids, and Joe Jackson is an abuser of children. She will win and hope she does!

Name: Cappaucino
Comment: However; where she may have a problem is that when MJ was alive she never took or spent time with the kids. She may get supervised visits, but it's hard to tell!

Name: MSM2g
Comment: We shouldn't be so quick to believe everything the media say about his "so called" drug use. That is the picture they wanna paint if he was taken out. Who do you think is behind what stories are told? Remember this is the same media that was 1 sided during MJ trial and tore him to shreds...despite the fact he was acquitted.....don't believe everything they feed us! They fed us bologne to get us into this war were in...and we believed!

Comment: Some of you on this blog can be so insensitive..this man isn't even in the ground or whereever the family will rest his body and some of ya'll are up here bashing him like the media..*sigh* It's sad how you chime in whn someone beats down, disrepects your own people..but If you noticed like Jermaine Jackson said to Larry King.."Frank Sintara and Elvis had the same issues in their life and no one disrepected them like this in the media"..Its like if you do that to them - its okay, nothing is said or suppose to be said..but if you take swipes at a black person or a person of color then its understandable, they weren't or nver will be a white persons equal...Our brotha has been gone for only a WEEK.. I feel like slapping somebody

Name: 1VAsweetsexy
Comment: **CORRECTION**If you disrepect or bash Frank Sintara or Elvis then its a crime and you should go straight to jail don't go pass GO and don't collect your $200!! My nerves are upset and I wish I knew some of you personally -like Steve Harvey said - slap them to you see some teeth, gum and enamel on your hand....WORD UP!!

Name: Conrad
Comment: Cappaucino, I can think of nothing more cruel and insensitive than selling your children over and over again to their father! Joe's abuse pales in comparison. This bytch has shown herself to be nothing more than a rented womb, and she does not love those children, but see them as just more money in her personal coffer. Greedy piece of unusable shyt that she is, (not even suitable for fertilizer), may her sorry azz burn here and in hell. That shyt does not a mother make. I believe with all my heart that Michael loved those children with every breath he took. There is so much I want to say on EVERYTHING Michael Jackson, yet over a week later, I have not been able to garner all my thoughts and put them into a cohesive post. Why? Because I am still in pain at the lost of the most talented Black male, entertainment-wise, original performer whom this country, or for that matter, the world, will ever see again in our lifetimes. I have never, ever, seen an entertainer who possessed half the talent of Michael Jackson. Funny, how I knew that he was 50, physically, but never saw him as a 50-year old man. It never crossed my mind that Michael Jackson would be dead at 50.
