oh yeah blame it on Michael, Michael sold out 750 000 tickets WITHOUT any promotion, media hype or anything else. Surely his trial didn't prevent that from happening, and if it was b/c of the negative press of the trial, shoot , where the heck were these people in 2007,2008,2009? I'm not talking about the 2003-2005 years here. Where the heck were these brothers from 1989 upwards? Pushing ridiculous reunion rumors doesn't exactly qualify as working. How dare Michael did not fail like the rest of his family, making it so hard for his brothers to achieve something -lmbo.
What do you think, that his brothers and additional relatives have a better chance at success now?! Selling interviews on your dead sibling's/relative's back, along with Iphone cases does not mean they are successful of their own now. The biggest slap in their faces is the fact that nobody, absolutely nobody thinks of them as individuals, be it Jermaine, Latoya, Rebbie, Randy, Jackie, Marlon, Genevieve, Austin, Siggy, 3T whomever you name, ALL of them are collectively known as being Michael Jackson's relatives, if at all, despite of giggling with nasty show anchors, kissing Oprah's butt, sucking up to every Tom, Dick and Harry. They've been put on this earth to stand in Michael's shadow in life and death, no amount of iphone case selling, throwing Michael under the bus or anything else will ever change this very fact. And no, Michael's is CERTAINLY not to be blamed for his relatives failure. If some of them had actually worked harder in whatever they are able to do 30 years ago, instead of chasing after skirts and envying Michael, they might would have been able to achieve 'something', but time's up now, and those days are long gone.
Instead of carving a little niche for themselves they spent DECADES chasing, blackmailing, russhing, pressuring, Michael to join them, so that THEY could feel they were in 1971 again. If they hadn't spent those DECADES wasting and dreaming of having Michael's level of fame and success they might have been a bunch of near 60 year olds with some sort of following, instead of their existence being ridiculed as another one of Michael's countless siblings and/or relatives.
What screwed them over was the fact that they wanted Michael's level of fame and success without having Michael's level of stage presence, charisma, charm, talent and dedication. The fact that they tried to compete with Michael, put themselves on his level, demanding the same kind of success and adulation screwed them.
:fear:
