It bothers me when people keep saying Lisa Marie Presley was Michael's "only true love" and "the love of his life", not becasue I hate Lisa, but because I'm sick and tired of people putting words into Michael's mouth.
Just show me one quote directly from Michael Jackson saying Lisa was his only true love, not a quote from Karen Faye, or J. Randy Taraborrelli, but Michael Jackson himself.
I have read a lot about Michael. Based on my research, I figure the best way to learn about Michael Jackson is from Michael himself. Michael was mysterious and private; yet, he was also a very honest person. He bared his soul in his music and his speeches. I learn about Michael by listening to his lyrics, reading his book (Moonwalk), reading his poems (Dancing the Dreams), listening to his speeches, and watching his actions over the years. Third party accounts are seldom reliable. People who actually knew him usually respect his privacy and don't say much about him. People who don't know about him, like Randy Taraborrelli, sensationalized stuff to sell books.
I have never come across a quote directly from Michael himself that expressed his endless true love for Lisa (except for the thank you note in HIStory's album credit.) I know he loved Diana Ross because he said that himself in Moonwalk and many other occasions (He even named her as his children's guardian in his will.) I know he loved Katherine Jackson. Michael expressed his love for his mother countless times. I know he loved Elizabeth Taylor because of the way they supported each other during ups and downs. But, Michael almost never said anything about Lisa Marie. Don't get me wrong. I know he loved her. But, who really knows how he felt about her after the divorce? I read the rabbi's book. When the rabbi asked Michael about Lisa Marie, Michael sounded pretty "indifferent" about her in 2001. What I wanna say is that some fans may have overestimated the significance of Lisa in Michael's life. I recognize that Lisa was one of Michael's ex-wives. But, I don't fantasize her being Michael's savior or "love of his life". The "love of his life" is not any woman, but children and art.
And, no, I'm not a jealous fan girl who envy Lisa. I truly wish Michael found love and enjoyed romantic relationships. Out of eveyone in this world, he's the one who deserved the most to be loved.
As for the Oprah interview, Lisa has rights to express her feeling. I just hope she repects the deceased and be fair.
Let's wait and see.
