Janet Jackson Talks About Brother Michael During 'Tabloid!' Intertview

49.jpg





Janet Jackson, who promised a personal and intimate gig this weekend, gets candid about her late brother Michael, being ‘lucky' and what fans mean to her in an exclusive interview with tabloid!

When Michael Jackson died suddenly in 2009 the world plummeted into a state of shock.

And while his fans remember him through his endless catalogue of music, for one lady the child in Michael will always live on.

"I can remember doing our chores as kids," said his sister Janet. "We would be cleaning the kitchen and while we were all working we would be writing songs. I miss his laughter."

Many people remember their idol through his brothers and sisters including Janet. "Music has always been a part of our lives," she added. "I love Mike very much."

The emotional tribute, exclusive to tabloid!, comes just days before Janet's debut performance in the UAE.

Currently on her Number Ones: Up Close and Personal tour, she has dedicated her most successful song ever to the city and people of Abu Dhabi ahead of the gig on Thursday at Yas Arena.

Janet awarded That's The Way Love Goes to the capital of the UAE.

"Hey Abu Dhabi, I'm gonna take you places you've never been before," she said earlier through a release. "That is why I'm dedicating That's The Way Love Goes to all my fans in your beautiful city. See you soon."

The tour differs from previous concert schedules due to the fact the 45-year-old performs music exclusively from her chart-topping Number Ones which boasts 35 No 1 hits.

Janet herself promised no two shows on the schedule would be the same, saying of the tour "more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before".

But while the pop sensation was more than happy to chat about the tour, touching on the subject of Erotic Queen of Pop — a title she's picked up over the years — was not met with a smile. Asked whether it was a title she had actively pursued at anytime she simply replied "no".

Excerpts from the interview.

This tour has been your biggest to date. How does it feel to have remained on top for so long?

I really love this tour and am very grateful to all the fans for their support over the years.

We read no two shows have been the same so far. How much creative/musical input do you have in any one show?



I am always looking to grow as an artist. When creating this tour, I wanted to tell a specific story in each section of the show. I am having fun looking at these songs and seeing what I can do with them and let them inspire me. I am a very creative person, so I love to experiment. I have been making changes throughout the tour. I have changed some of the costumes, added songs and videos to the line up. I love to create so it has been a lot of fun.

Which is the acting role you have taken the most from on a personal level and why?

I think you grow whenever you get to play a character that you have not done in the past. That happened for me with For Colored Girls.

Do you have a Twitter/Facebook profile? Is the social network scene something which fascinates or bores you?

They are a lot of fun. I have both a Twitter and Facebook profile.

What was it like being the youngest of the Jacksons? Did it ever mean you got away with things the others didn't?

(Laughs) I think I am going to keep that one to myself…

You do many "meet and greets" and have allowed fans to have input on this tour. How important are your fans to you and why?

I am so fortunate that my fans, no matter where they are, are so loyal. They give me so much love and I am excited to return mine to them. I know that there are many fans that I get to see in many cities throughout the tour. It is great.

Do you consider yourself a lucky lady? What is the best part about being Janet Jackson?

Yes, I am very lucky. I would say the best part is all of the amazing people that I get to meet. I have made some amazing friends along the way.

Your name is constantly mentioned when other artists — Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Britney to name a few — are asked who inspires them. Who truly inspires you?

There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.

Don't miss it

Janet Jackson will perform at Yas Arena, Abu Dhabi, on Thursday. Tickets, priced Dh265, Dh365 and Dh665, are available at thinkflash.ae.

is she trying to convince someone that she loves Mike? This is an odd interview

^ No, I don't think so. She is just showing her love for her brother and that's it.

it's odd.. The interviewer didn't ask her about loving her brother. It's just odd to me. Sounds like she just threw that out there because she probably has heard what some fans have said about her and her family and the way they treated MJ.

Actually the interviewer didn't post his questions and just sporadicaly posted some comments from Janet
So we dont know the context. It was not a true Transcript of the interview. Maybe she just wanted to
say she loved him. Nothign more nothing less. I certainly dont see any reason to judge her motive in
saying it. In fact i find it odd anyone would judge her for saying she loved her brother. but that's just me

maybe she regrets throwing him under the bus one and half years ago, when she was trying to become relevant again. No matter what Janet does or says now, nothing will change what she did when she willingly decided to throw her beloved brother under the bus, for the sake of pr and publicity. Whether some continue to ignore her actions or not.

These people take anything as a "clue" Michael is alive. I don't think Janet's comment will make much difference. Anyone who thinks Michael is alive will still think that and anyone who thinks Michael is dead will still believe that.
 
You guys should stop hating on Janet. Unlike the rest of her family she was there for Michael in his time of need. She was there for him when he was accused of child allegations and she also helped MJ to deal with his painkillers addictions and most importantly Michael loved her and the rest of his family. Do you think if Michael was alive and if he was reading all of your hateful comments towards his family, then how would he feel? He would have been very hurt that his fans hate his family so much.

The bigger question is how would he feel if he were here to read, hear and watch them say the hateful things they have about him since his death? How would he feel seeing his family use his children and his death for financial gain? I'm sure that would hurt him way more than any criticism his family receive due to their own actions. Stop making it sound like people just sit here and pick on them just for the heck of it, cuz each and everyone of you people know that is not the case. And most importantly if he were today, they'd be no reason to criticize them as much as we do now, because none of them; Janet including, would be having the guts, to say and do the things they've done since his death, if he was still alive today. PERIOD.

The family has betrayed him the worst way possible in death. They've totally sold him out, nearly all of them, and they should be ashamed of their actions. If I wasn't seeing and reading the things they've done since June 25, 2009, I wouldn't even believe all of their tacky actions happened.

THIS!:yes:
 
I don't think he would like at all how his family has been acting the last 2 years and what his children have been doing ex) being on twitter and taking pictures of Joe's products. He might not like what fans have been saying but it's not the same as what his own flesh and blood is doing.
 
Oh my God. SERIOUSLY.

This is a 100 percent POSITIVE interview and people STILL find the space to criticize Janet? For saying she loves her brother?

Wow.

Just wow.

I think some fans need to check themselves.
 
twinklee, great post!'

I totally agree. I think Mike would be more hurt seeing what his family has been doing since his death. I bet he never would've thought that his kid sister who was his best friend growing up would sell him out like she did after his death.
 
This thread is closed do to members who still continue to derail topics by bringing up past instances that have NOTHING to do with the topic - You have been asked several times NOT to do that and this forum was also almost closed becuase of the constant unecessary attacks. I have to agree that turning a statement of Janet stating she loves her brother into a reason to attack her is a bit much. Please check yourselves and don't derail threads in this manner stick to the topic - Im really tired of feeling like the big bad wolf blowing the house down. Please dont put me in this position its not easy. Try and be a little more gracious. I understand your frustration with the Jackson family but not "everything" posted is a reason to attack.

PLEASE READ 2300 rules and guidlines

•Constant derailing of threads about certain family members. If a thread is about say, Janet on a magazine cover, please keep it to that topic. There is no need to take that thread back to what Janet said/did who knows when. If we don't enforce this, the board becomes a free for all and if not for anything other than organisational purposes, a nightmare
