Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

I just cant help but wonder what the hell Michael would be thinking right now. He spent their entire lives protecting them, sheltering them, keeping them as far away from cameras and media as he possibly could. It was like his mission in life. To protect them. If he knew they were going to be attending the Grammy Awards, God I just dont know. Isnt this EXACTLY what he spent his life trying to stop happening? Less than a year ago they were out wearing their masks and being protected by their daddy and security... now theyre going to get all dolled up and go to the biggest music event in the world to accept an award. This is just... not what he would have wanted I dont think? But its not our place to honor his wishes and his parenting method....its his families. If they choose to or not is up to them. I wish them well.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

My own thoughts are that they should not do it, otherwise it is inviting cameras to follow them around. You can't turn the media on and off, so if they voluntarily put themselves out there they will not be able to say leave us alone, or rather the people who are supposed to be looking out for them.

I don't think Michael would have been ready to put them centre stage yet.

maybe cus Mike as Suzanne depasse said worked on himself ALOT and tried to learn . I believe the rest of the brothers stayed Joe's boys just that , I'm sure MJ got bored of hearing how many women each one of them attracted or slept with , do they seem to you intelligent people ? NOT TO ME
You want to be with people who have the same interests as you, people who would add to your knowledge , and unfortunately the brothers seem very much LIMITED .

Most music artist that are male sleep with women so MJ distancing himself for that reason wouldn't make sense. I hear what your saying but keep in mind they didn't have to come to his trial one time when he needed them. They could have sat back and said to themselves, we're not intelligent enough so your on your own buddy. Good luck in Santa Maria.

MJ hung out with Chris Tucker who is a bigger player than MJ's brothers. You think MJ's brothers slept with a lot of women.

I think Michael would be livid. I mean the kids were still wearing masks two weeks before his death. There are some fans who claim Michael was going to show off his kids in the This is it tour on stage, but I think that's hogwash BS. I can't picture Michael doing that with his kids.

I think it's safe to say he would be pissed. Very pissed. if this keeps up, the kids won't have a chance to have a good normal life. Fans are always going to jump on them asking about their father (again just like Elvis fans did to Lisa Marie) and that won't be good. Nothing good can come out of exposing these kids like this.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

The kids are almost teens, Michael wasn't going to hide them forever. I can't imagine a 15 year old Prince with a veil over his head! Fans need to chill. Its not even that big of a drama.

2 weeks before Michael's death, he was alive. He isn't now. Don't you think the kids want to put their hand up to honor their fathers legacy instead of seeing their cousins do so? I know I would. Its a beautiful thing, not a bad thing.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

The kids were 11, 8 and 12 at the time of his death. I'm sure later on he would have let them take the veil off, but it would have been his choice. At the age that they are now he still wanted them to wear masks. That's the point.

Co-Sign this , I'm not part of his family so it's not really my place to say but whatever Ms.Jackson decides I respect it.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

It doesn't sound they are actually going to the Grammys on Sunday. It's the awards they give out Saturday night for lifetime and special awards. That's not televised. They might show footage of it but they are not going to be on live tv. That's what it seems to me. I think that's okay. I mean other recipients are going to have their families there.

No , you missed my point , I'm not also of those who believes MJ wa virgin and saint by the way . My point the brothers interests were not the same a MJ and they seemed very much LIMITED , beside talking about the last girl and missing the child support payment ...etc there was nothing to talk about .

They were at the trial because that was the least thing they could have done to him, after all MJ was not guilty . and he had done alot to them and was still doing at the time .
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

if the kids want to go , then bless them . It will be a private ceremony and Katherine I'm sure would have asked for certain procedures to ensure those kids would be just fine . So I believe it is a great decision by Katherine to allow these kids to take part in keeping their father's legacy alive .

Prince is 13 in a couple of days. Circumstances have changed, Michael has passed now. How did you want them to pay respects to their father at his memorial? Paris speaking about her father with a veil over her head? How are the kids supposed to honor his legacy without being identified? Not honoring their father at all? I highly doubt Paris would accept this. They are old enough to make the decision of whether or not they would like to accept an award on their fathers behalf. (Blanket is different, he is still a child that needs protection). There is nothing wrong with what Prince and Paris want to do, if its their decision. Its a beautiful thing and no one meant more to Michael than his children. They are his legacy. I think Michael would of been so proud of them.

Again, fans need to relax. Some go as far as if they know the kids personally. Katherine is their guardian and not any of us. We just have to support whatever they decide to do, that's all Michael would of wanted from his fans. Their personal decisions are just that, personal.

CNN has learned that Katherine Jackson has not received any of the money ordered for her because of a judgment in a lawsuit nearly two decades ago.

This doesn't ring true to me. The probate court has reviewed the allowance recently and they are due for another review in 6 months. This is money for her living expenses, ordered by the court, not a salary or contract payment. I find it hard to believe that it could all be taken away that easily.

Anyone with knowledge of the law out there who can speak to this?
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

I'm shocked!

My dad just told me about Mikes children going to accepted an award on Sat. night.

Well whatever Kathrine thinks is best, Prince and Paris are old enough I believe to go accept an award for their father.

Something about why and how their Daddy is the BEST in the world! :D
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

I don't think they have to say much and just the fact they are doing it says a lot about how they feel about their father.

There interest was raising there families. They seem limited to you because all you look at is the musical talent. How can you judge how intelligent they are based on a reality show and them cracking jokes eating Gumbo. Cmon do you expect a bunch of brothers without personality who don"t joke around that are stiff like a bunch of nerds.

What was there to talk about with Chris Tucker and Liz Taylor? Your putting down the brothers for no reason. Tucker and Liz are no more intelligent than Tito and Marlon. Matter fact Liz Taylor sometimes came across not to smart to me. Just a former actress with a lot of money she earned 40 years ago. Your point would make sense if MJ's current friends were more intelligent than Tito and Marlon but there not. Chris Tucker is just a comedian. He is no smarter than Marlon Jackson.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

wow. somebody get these kids out of hollywood. have we not learned?
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

Wow, well I think that's pretty amazing that they are accepting this award for their father. Maybe Michael would like this, maybe he wouldn't. That we will never know. But if they didn't want to be there accepting this award, then they wouldn't. They want to honor their father and it will be really sweet to hear what the people closest to Michael have to say. There's nobody better than his children and I believe they will want to do this sooner or later. Maybe Prince and Paris really want to speak out about their father and have something they want to say.
However, there are downsides. The media. I just hope they stay away..far away from these children and don't ruin them in anyway.

Praying for them. I got emotional reading about this and actually seeing it will be hard. :angel:

Good point.

Why try to hide these childern from the world. Yes I realize that the media will follow them, yet that will be a given regardless. Seeing them work or associate with those whom their father worked with, I feel would be a honor. It's a part that they never really got to know, what he was like performing in front of millions, how he worked in the studio, the stories of the past when he was their age. I think that as long as the childern are guided and loved, they will be able to enjoy the legacy their father left behind. And yes, Catherine is their main care giver, and I'm sure there are various details in Michael's will that state how he would like her to care for those childern and respect his last wishes.

All we can do, is support them and hope that they continue to be guided through life with their father's spirit.

I agree with you. Accepting an award in honor of their father's acheivements is not the same as performing. I have seen several posthumous awards where family members came on stage to accept the award for their loved ones.
Michael loved his children more than anything or anyone else. They knew and loved him more than anyone else on earth. Much more appropriate for them to accept this award in honor of their father, then to have Jermaine do it again.
If Paris and Prince want to accept the award, it is their right. Michael raised them well. They are old enough and intelligent enough to make that decision.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Kids May Appear at Grammys - Update pg 13 (All discussion here)

Sorry, some here seem to have missunderstood my point when i wrote about the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductee,

I never said Michael was trying to talk, Michael was more like the less talk the BEST, it was more no that he was the superstar, but the brothers were acting like if they were stupid... Diana Ross was there too, you can see her face too...

my point was that the brothers were like a little toooooo much, like Michael was inside of him "OK calm down a bit" not that he was taking it too serious since you can see he just watches them when they talk and laughes, may be he was a bit shy, i dont know,

anyway, my point adressing the whole Rock and roll hall of Fame was that those brothers LOVE THE CAMERA, they just come crazy when they see one, i dont need to see Jermaine starting to talk about HIMSELF cause sincerely nobody cares, sadly for him this is once again about his brother Michael Jackson... those brothers lose it in front of the camera... that was my point.... not that Michael wanted to talk, Michael was not about it (i think i wrote that like a thousand (and i mean it :lol:) times :yes:

And that is why i think his kids will do just fine... thats all, and its natural they want to honor their father.

As for Michael not wanting to be all over the press like all his brothers I DONT BLAME HIM...

MICHAEL HIMSELF SAID IT, he said he knew the kids were growing older and that he was not going to hide them forever.

The second part, of course, its their father and its Michael Jackson... i mean...

*UPDATE*

Prince and Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson's two oldest children, have been sweating over addressing the audience at tonight's Special Merit Awards ceremony .. where their dad will be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.Joe Jackson tells TMZ Prince and Paris have each prepared a speech. Joe says they are both great speakers and Paris has been working on her speech for a week. As for the buzz that the kids will perform at the Grammys on Sunday -- Joe says it ain't happening.

Apparently, we have not learned anything. The "problem" is not the kids' appearance on the show. The problem is what will be dissected later, by media, and their loss of the privacy that Michael worked so hard to protect.

Some of you are taking this whole privacy thing way too far. I have a problem with so called friends releasing private images/videos of them etc... that is the real issue. However, as long as they want to, then I don't see why a PUBLIC appearance is a major issue. Do you want them to be reclusive hermits? As long as they're not singing/dancing then this shouldn't be a big deal.

Much of the attention they get comes from the fact that they're heavily protected (rarely seen, rarely heard) anyway.
