Re: Michael Forever Tribute/ MJJC Official Statement / Discussion / Estate statement / Fan letter @p
You know,every time they mess up by trying to use Michael or his children or by disrespecting him or his wishes I'm reminded of Janet's words at the BET awards : "to you, Michael is an Icon; to us, he is family".I was disgusted by Joe's behaviour,but I still respected their pain back then,so I received those words with a certain benevolence and understanding,even if I felt they were untrue for myself and many others.
Every move they make now,those words resonate in my mind like a cruel joke.Really,Janet? You think so?
What Joe said then ("it's like he was larger than he was ever before. I think Michael gives his love to everybody and we hope his record will never be broken") and the whole clan's behaviour during the last two years show that's what they really care about : M.O.N.E.Y
I added my thanks earlier,but great letter.So proud to be part of the MJ fanmily
Personally, I was never fond of calling Michael family just because I am just a fan at the end of the day. He may have love us, but it's nearly impossible to care about a sea of strangers over people you grew up with or grown to know through personal experience. Even the fans Michael personally met and knew didn't have the same imput as those who worked with Michael everyday. Which is why I always found it tragic that fans who were mostly distance strangers in Michael's life seems to care about him more than his own family. In this case the term fanmily fits.
Quite frankly, this should make the entire Jackson family feel ashamed. However, I think the family has passed being ashamed along time ago. If even after Michael's tragic death that family can't see him as nothing more than a paycheck, then the outrage of millions mean nothing to them.
