I think these people are colluding and trying to undermine Katherine
Sony can only have released that statement if Branca gave the say so, that is why they say "with full cooperation of the Jackson estate", basically, with full cooperation of Branca and McLain
Meanwhile, AEG is threatening to walk away so as to force the judge's hands against Katherine's objections
But if Katherine was executor too, they would have to sit down, agree and make concessions. If they wlak away, someone else can take their place.
As i said earlier, these people are greasing Jermaine's ego by offering to release "Smile"
Yet, the better song would have been "Gone too soon" by Usher, on top of the meaning, Usher is also a star and a kind of Michael's "protege"
Sony, AEG and BRanca/McLain are colluding to undermine Katherine Jackson and they have greased Jermaine that he went on air to indirectly object to his mother becoming an executor.
Why? Because she would then block that nonsense. "Smile" is not even a potential hit song, it's a moody song. Jermaine just thinks of being No.1 on his brother's back.
Then now the judge wants to split up and get another lawyer for the kids, to dilute Katherine's power all teh more, which shows where he's leaning.
Don't forget the Geragos saying that the judge is a friend of Branca. He didn't just say that for the sake, but to alert those representing Katherine.
The judge can also overide Katherine's objections, so that becomes easier if he appoints a lawyer for teh kids and the lawyer then just looks at money and sides with Branca's lawyer, therefore, it's two against one, lawyer for executors, appointed lawyer for the kids vs lawyer for the mother.
And the judge will make sure he picks an agreeable lawyer to his friend Branca
I think it's time for Londell to get a bit smarter and pull out all the skills.
If they refuse to compromise, Londell should unleash a full-blown assault to recurse these executors
I know many fans may not see it now but unless Katherine is involved in this process, these people are just out to profit from the estate without Michael's best interests at heart.
Michael used to block certain things for a reason and Sony didn'y just have their way with him.
They feel that now with him out of the way, they can do as they wish with his works
Think about this, would Michael approve of his music being released with Jermaine as the lead singer?
What else will these people do?
