April 02, 2010 Janet Jackson: My Parents Aren't My Marriage Role Models
by Jeanne Wolf

Janet Jackson suffered the tragic loss of her brother Michael while filming Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? But after the funeral, she returned to complete her role as a famous self-help psychologist and author who is better at solving other people's problems than her own.

Parade.com's Jeanne Wolf discovered why, for Jackson, being back on the set helped her to overcome her grief.

It was therapeutic.
"Tyler Perry put everything on hold until I came back the day after Michael's funeral. Everyone was incredibly supportive. I was able to just unleash my emotions in certain scenes where I sort of go off the deep end, and that was very cathartic."


Maybe she should have checked with Elin Nordegren.
"I sort of destroy a room with a golf club. I never knew that I hit Malik Yorba, who plays my husband, until he told me afterwards. So I guess I did. And I hit myself in the ankle too. So for the rest of the shooting schedule my ankle was pretty bad, but it was worth it to be able to vent like that. I really did lose it in that scene."


Who needs Dr. Phil?
"Tyler has couples taking a hard look at why they're together. I was actually thinking about my own life going, 'I really should've done this with my own two marriages.' Maybe the second one wouldn't have lasted so long -- 13 years -- even though it was a great marriage while it lasted. I think making a list of the good and the bad is a great way for people to look at their relationships, whether it's marriage or just being together with someone."

Don't ask her for advice.
"I'm really the wrong person to ask. I've been married twice and divorced twice, so I don't think I should be answering this question 'What have I learned?' There are going to be hills and valleys and what I've seemed to have noticed is that a lot of the young people today, they seem to want to quit at the first drop of drama or issues that they have. Even with my parents, there were the bad times. It's always going to happen and you need to work through those. If the love is there, you get through them together with trust and communication."

Her marriage role models.
"It wasn't my parents. It was Sydney Fine who was a composer and his wife. I considered her my second mother. She was our tutor for years. And that's who I really looked up to. Looking at their marriage, they were just very loving and very close and always connected and always communicated."

And role models for her life and career.
"I've loved Dorothy Dandridge since I was ten years old. I read her biography and her autobiography I don't know how many times. I was crazy about Marvin Gaye, so he was a major influence. And, of course, there is Stevie Wonder. Aside from that, it was my family, and especially my mother. I looked up to her a great deal because she was so amazing with so much strength. I just wanted to grow up to be like her."

Revealing herself in her music.
"You do tap into your own life when you write songs. I always write about what's going on in my life. The new song that I just created for the film is called 'Nothing,' and it's talking about relationships. It's talking about trust and communication and just the love."

The advice she'll remember from Michael.
"Michael always told me three things: practice, never give up, and have self-confidence if you want to make it. I got the practicing and never giving up part down pretty good, but the hardest thing was getting the self-confidence."
 
Interesting, a long time ago Madonna said Marvin Gaye was one of her idols also. She even remade one of his songs I Want You.
 
well i guess the grass is always greener. Marvin Gaye is considered someone they admired. yet he had an extremely turbulent life. including his time at motown.
 
^^^^Jermaine also said he studied Marvin's records and watched Marvin when he used to visit the family in the 70s. I guess that's where Castles Of Sand comes from.
 
well..i guess, the more pain someone goes through, the more searing their music seems to be, and they look more attractive to people outside their life. and Marvin had a LOT of pain in his life. a LOT.

It's like in the 1960s when some white British youth were fascinated with black blues singers in America. Their music (and lives) was different to the Doris Day styled pop that was popular on the radio at the time. They would get the records from the black G.I.'s who were stationed in Europe or hear the songs on pirate radio stations as they weren't played on BBC radio. The Rolling Stones got their name from a Muddy Waters tune. Pink Floyd was named after two bluesmen: Pink Anderson & Floyd Council. John Lennon said in an interview that he wished he could play like B.B. King.

That's where the old "suffer for your art" saying comes from. People in general aren't interested in happy folks or things. How many positive things are broadcast on the news?
 
She is very expresssful of her feelings and that is good to get it out! She is such a wonderful person and that is so true Michael is like her twin!
 
Hello,

I have not heard of The New Parade Magazine and do you have a link for the article? I would like to research it a little more. I do realize that fake articles are place on the sites and they are very close to the truth. I saw the Oprah show and the Guests were Janet Jackson, Tyler Perry, the two gentlemen who sang the gospel song and the old spice commerical gentleman who rode the horse with no shirt (star Isaiah Mustafa with a role in his next film Colored Girls). Hmmm, Let me show you....
 
Janet Jackson Channels Her Grief
Oprah.com Decades from now, music fans will remember where they were on June 25, 2009—the day the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, died suddenly. Millions of people considered Michael a music icon and legendary artist. But, for a few, he was simply a son, brother and father.

Michael came from a large family. He had three sisters and six brothers, one of whom died shortly after birth. Though many of the children grew up singing and dancing in the spotlight, the Jackson family is notoriously private.

Janet Jackson, the little sister who followed in her brothers' footsteps and became a best-selling recording artist, has been reluctant to discuss Michael's shocking death.

Now, nine months after we said goodbye to Michael, Janet opens up about the moment she found out he was gone, how her family tried to intervene and why it's still hard to listen to his music.
On June 25, 2009, Janet says she was at home in New York when she first heard Michael was sick.

"I got a call from an assistant. She had said that there was something on TV about my brother being ill. So I immediately called home, and I was able to reach my sister La Toya, my nephew, Austin, and I think my brother, Jermaine, at the time," she says. "They were on their way to the hospital. I can't remember exactly who I wound up calling back, to see how things were going. That's when they told me he had passed."

To this day, Janet says it's still hard to believe Michael is gone. "There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him," she says. "All of us in the family think about him every single day."
In October 2009, just two months after the Los Angeles County coroner's office ruled that Michael died from an overdose of a powerful anesthetic and another sedative, the documentary This Is It was released. The film, which is a compilation of interviews, rehearsals and backstage footage, shows Michael preparing for a series of sold-out shows in London.

Michael died before the first concert, but his genius lives on in the film. Millions of fans flocked to theaters to see Michael sing and dance for the last time, but Janet says she hasn't seen it...and she probably never will.

"I don't know if I can. Even when you were showing the clip, I had to turn away," she says. "It's hard for me to look at an image of his or listen to his music on the radio."

While Oprah says it was remarkable to see Michael's creative process at work in the film, she noticed how thin he looked. "He appeared to not to be the Michael that we had known or seen in years past," she says. Janet says she and her family also noticed the red flags and thought Michael was struggling with addiction. "He was thin. We knew that he had a problem. We all did. I think a lot of people think that we were in denial, which we weren't at all," she says. "We tried interventions several times."

Despite their best efforts, Janet says Michael didn't change. "He was very much still in denial," she says.

During one failed intervention, Janet says she had to walk away. "I couldn't take it. I was just so overwhelmed with emotion, and I actually had to walk out of the room. It was just too much for me to handle."

Watch Janet discuss her family's attempts to help Michael.

"Do you think he was depressed?" Oprah asks.

"There's a part of you that has to be in order to do that, to let yourself go to that place, to get that down to need something to numb the pain," Janet says.

In February 2010, Los Angeles prosecutors charged Dr. Conrad Murray with involuntary manslaughter in Michael's death. They claim he administered a lethal dose of Propofol, the powerful operating room anesthetic that killed the music legend.

Janet says she blames Dr. Murray for her brother's death. "He [was] the one administering the drug, from what I know," she says. The world watched as Michael's children mourned their father at his public funeral, but Janet says the kids are doing well. "It's difficult. Their father passed. But they're dealing with it," she says. "Thank God they have their family around them and their cousins," she says.

When Janet looks back on her brother and their time together, she says she remembers their childhood. "We used to spend every day all day together," she says. "I have a beautiful picture in my home of he and I when we were just babies. ... It takes me to that place that, even when he was still here, that I missed. We would talk about us being kids and how much fun we had."

Janet says she feels like she started losing her brother around the time of Thriller, but they still shared good times until the very end of his life. "The last time I saw him, which was two days before my birthday at my parents' surprise party, I was being silly like I always did when we were kids, and he kept looking at me and just cracking up."

The last words Janet spoke to Michael were on that day. Her final words to her brother: "I love you."
At the time of Michael's death, Janet had just started production on her latest movie, Why Did I Get Married Too?, with producer Tyler Perry. Tyler says the pain Janet was going through is palpable in her performance and wants people to know that the Jackson family did everything they could to help Michael.

"I wouldn't dare say anything more than she would want me to, but they really, really tried," he says. "The entire family. I want the whole world to know how much they tried. There were all those reports that they didn't do anything—that's not true."

When Janet heard that her brother had died due to drugs, she wasn't entirely surprised, she says. "I felt that day could possibly come," she says.
In Why Did I Get Married, Too?, four couples meet in the Bahamas for their annual getaway. But soon, there's trouble in paradise—secrets are uncovered and everything unravels. Tyler says the cast was already extremely close when they came together to make the film, so they rallied in support of Janet. "We were very protective of her, all of us, because we knew each other. It was like her coming home—leaving her family and coming to another family," he says.

In order to protect Janet from the media, Tyler had around-the-clock security. "There are shots where Janet doesn't have any makeup on and she's crying and snotting and everything else," he says. "I didn't want the pictures showing up on the cover of some tabloid saying this is what she's going through when it was her acting in the film."

Tyler also changed the ending of the film, even though Janet asked him not to. "She did not want me to because there was something that happened where she had to speak at a funeral, [but] I thought the things that she was going to say, it was too eerie and too much for me. She wanted to continue to do it, but I changed it because of that."

Janet says the support from Tyler and the cast did not go unnoticed. "The day my brother passed, [Tyler] called me and he was constantly checking up on me, and then he stopped production and came down to the service, and he was with me the entire time," she says. "He spoke to the cast and the crew and [told them] to make sure I felt at home and asked me how I wanted to be treated on set, and I said, 'Just treat me the way they always have—with open arms.'"
