I wonder when those fans will get tired of expecting this "big reveal" and have the moments continually pass without one. It was supposed to happen at the memorial, then the funeral, then for the TII movie release, then for Christmas. It's like, how many more years of this are they going to put themselves thru. sigh. :no:
Anyway, I did think (for a nanosecond) that it might be nice to see Prince accept the award. I know...what am I thinking?! :bugeyed He's almost 13 and altho that doesn't seem like a big age, Paris showed much eloquence at 11. Would be nice to hear from Prince IF that's what he wants to do. Not too keen about the "performing/singing" rumors tho. This can come across as exploitation of the kids if not done right and let's face it...the horse was let out of the barn at the memorial when all the kids appeared without veils. I definitely believe they should be left alone in their everyday lives to heal and just be kids...but for "special times" like this it might be okay? It's not an interview like the Barbara Walters thing was rumored to be. Guess I'm conflicted about this in some ways. They are growing up and at some point we, just as Michael would have if he were alive, will have to gradually allow the apron strings to slip away.
Gotta say reading the update was kinda weird cuz just this morning I dreamed about the Encino house (tho I've never been there) and there was a magazine stand in a "family room" with different magazines on it...like a REAL magazine stand. Some of them had MJ on the cover. Janet was there and I asked her if they keep the MJ ones after they restock the shelves? She said "yes" and showed me another magazine stand where they were saving all the MJ ones for anyone who came over and wanted to see them. Blanket was running around with some other small kids but I didn't see Prince and Paris so I asked where they were. She said they were visiting some sick kids and taking gifts like their father used to do...that they were continuing his work, but Blanket wasn't quite ready yet...but the family felt he might be ready next year to go along with his brother and sister. Crazy, right?! I thought maybe becuz this talk about the kids going to the Grammys was on my brain and that processed itself into a dream....and that may still be the case as you can never really trust these reports. But I just about choked on my juice reading that news article. Eek!
In any case, I hope whether the kids appear or not that it's their decision and not becuz someone is pushing them. Whether they are ready for this or not, I guess we can't really tell. Who woulda thunk Paris would have been so brave to speak at the memorial? And she did a great, tho heartbreaking, job. Michael had to have been proud. Wish none of this was even an issue.
HOW THE HELL did we get here again?!
******* ****** *******!!!
Prince, Paris, and Blanket.
