Tito, Marlon, Jermaine and Jackie Jackson will appear on Piers Morgan tonight, probably to promote the Unity Tour.

Piers Morgan ? @piersmorgan
WORLD EXCLUSIVE! @titojackson5 @Marlon_Jackson @JackieJackson5 & @jermainejackson give their 1st joint interview since Michael died. CNN/9pm

Jermaine Jackson ? @jermjackson5
Looking forward to being with you again @piersmorgan. See you down memory lane #unitytour2012
 
^I suppose, if not the transcript will be available on the CNN website.
 
Hmmmm interesting. But it's understandable since they have to promote their tour somehow. And 'Piers Morgan Tonight' is a very popular show. I might catch it but if not I'll post the transcript within a few hours from the CNN website of the show.

Knowing Piers he might ask about the Fiddes crap, Paris Jackson, the CM trial, etc...
 
Cassie if he asks about these things, I hope the brothers foresee this and have a clear and strong statement to dispel the lies. I know we all are getting tired of these never ending drivel from Michael's detractors.

This should be an interesting interview and I am sure the brothers are extremely excited and proud to be finally discussing a tour they wanted for so many years. I hope they get to talk about what fans can expect.
 
I hope Piers asks them proper questions and not the usual :censored: they have been asked in recent interviews when promoting their tour. I hope he asks where Randy is, who will sing lead, why it took so long for them to tour again and what songs will be performed.

Unfortunately I can predict that this will be an interview with Michael Jackson's brothers, not an interview with the Jacksons.
 
He just said to the brothers that he interviewed Katherine and it will air on Monday. He is asking about Joe and they all say he is great dad and that katherine defends him. They said so far how Michael would want them to continue the legacy.
 
Tito forgives Murray not Jermaine. Tito said he cannot forget but he forgives because of not holding on to the hate. It hurts him. They say there will always be a void in their heart with Michael gone. They said he was healthy and that they can't talk about things for legal reasons. They said Michael was judged too quickly and treated badly in his life. They said not irritated by Michael's success. The Jacksons were the foundation for him. Didn't like certain people around Michael but not worried about his work because he knew what to do.
 
Piers Morgan told them he is going to their Apollo show. They are going to sing their songs and Michael will be there in spirit.

With Katherine, they showed a clip and she is with that art guy. There are pictures behind them. I don't know if that is Michael's drawings. She said she thinks about Michael everyday and even if she wakes up in the middle of the night. She can't describe how she feels about Murray and says 4 years is not enough.

Pretty good interview.

That photo above reminded me that I need to go and finish my MJ vinyl collection :lol:
 
^Thanks for posting the videos. Didn't like the interview one bit. Both piers and the brothers seemed to be isolating mj as the 'tormented, ruined soul' whilst they were the regular guys, completely unaffected by the pressures of fame at an earlyl age and the discipline of joe. They all defended joe and his behaviour ('he taught us respect for others'??!) a thousand times more than they defended mj. When asked about mj and the accusations of molestation, and his trials, the only response was from marlon who just said it's up to god to judge what we do. I've seen more support for mj from non fans.

And piers might pose as a fan but he is known as a hater.
 
^Bonnie Blue, I share the same sentiments. Katherine is all up defending Joe in her interview as well, which will air on Monday. Not surprising. I always thought she was equally responsible for the abuse, and this just reconfirms my thoughts. I wonder if they all believe that whipping a naked, oiled child is an acceptable form of discipline? Why can't an interviewer ever quote Michael's words when asking the family about abuse?

Coming back to this interview, it's so strange that they would talk of forgiving Murray after all that was learnt of his behaviour pre and post Michael's death. Murray has not shown even the teeniest bit of remorse to date, recorded Michael after pumping him with drugs, sold his deceased client to the tabs and trashy documentaries...And Tito has forgiven him?

My overall take on it? Ho-hum.
 
I didn't watch the show yet but I read the transcript.

I got pissed of with Tito's comment:
T. JACKSON: "I'm not saying that I'm not upset about what happened. But I can't go around angry and upset and want to get revenge and all these things like that. You know, things happen and I'm made to forgive. So I have to forgive."

Things happen! His brother was killed and Tito says things happen! Michael didn't fell and hit his head, he was killed and Tito casually says things happen!
--------------------------------------------

Piers Morgan is the most dysfunctional damaged man himself. Some questions he has!
MORGAN: Well, tell me this. I mean, we'll come back to Michael a little later but when you think of the Jacksons -- I suppose the impression that everybody has is that you guys never really had a childhood.

This thing exploded when you were young and that you've all in some way been damaged by that fact that you never had the chance to be normal. And yet, I've only just met three of you now, I've met Jermaine before. You seem remarkably undamaged on the outside.

You seem like happy guys.

JA. JACKSON: (INAUDIBLE).

MORGAN: I'm not looking (INAUDIBLE) at people and thinking you guys are damaged. So what is the truth about being a Jackson.

Is he serious? He forgave Murray the real killer but not AEG the concert promotor.
 
^ Yes bubs, the entire interview seemed to be piers wondering out loud why aren't you brothers weird and damaged like mj. Piers asking marlon rhetorically, 'anything weird about you?, subtext why aren't you wierd like mj. Insulting stuff but i don't even know if the brothers even noticed or particularly cared.

Agree rhilo, i would have thought it was difficult to forgive murray seeing he has never taken responsibility for what he did and instead blames mj for everything, and demeaned and slandered him in a tv doc after his death. I wish they had more fight and anger on his behalf and loyalty towards mj but i just don't see it.

Yeah that threw me off, too. He just shrugged it off like it was nothing..
 
It might be easier to forgive when you dont go to a single court day and listen to weeks worth of testimony painstakingly detailing every single deviation from the standard of care that Murray committed. Whatever helps you cope I guess, too each his own :/

I'd love to actually see an interviewer that asks the tough questions instead of the same old same old...thats the only way ill ever find out where Randy is hiding!
 
I agree Bonnie Blue they threw Michael under the bus again and that's why I won't pay money to see them. Over all however the interview was better than usual and could have been a lot worse.
 
I can understand why Tito would say he has forgiven CM, he is very much right when he says it is better to forgive but not forget than to let it eat away at you, of course he misses his brother, I didn't take that as anything wrong on his part. We just had a speaker in college the other day who's son was murdered and he said pretty much exactly the same thing. Tito may not have attended court and we don't know the reasons why, it may have been too hard for him who knows, I don't think that comment is something we should pick away at him for.
 
When your car breaks down and you are late from work, that is when you can say things happen.
When you break up with girlfriend/boyfriend, you can say things happen.
When you brother is killed by someone who sits in the jail, you do not say: "things happen".
 
I was willing to watch that interview but when they started to normalized once again the child abuse inflicted by Joseph I stopped watching it. :angry: Since when oiling a naked child and hitting him with a belt or a stick is normal or nothing!? :mad:

None of the older brothers started to work since a baby age like Michael did, he's always been the most talented of all the brothers, so Joseph was more severe towards him and when the Jacksons bagan to be famous the older brother were already teenagers, they could have a childhood, Michael didn't!

It's SO OBVIOUS WHY MICHAEL IS THE MOST DAMAGED of the Jacksons! Working in a striptease club will never be appropriate for a 6 or 7 year old boy!
 
MY view on Forgiveness
Tito forgives Jermaine's doesn't. They each have their own way of coming to terms with it. I cant judge that.
Myself I try to forgive. Its not always an easy thing to do - But Its what Jesus / the Bible taught me and it frees our mind from being in bondage to hate. forgiveness is not a negative thing. Its is not considered a bad thing as some are trying to portray it in this thread. It doesn't mean we absolve the person for their wrong actions. It means we don't hold hate in our heart. Hate is destructive to ones mental spiritual growth. I don't see it as something Tito is doing wrong. In fact it considered a virtue to do so. I don't understand why anyone would attack a person for being forgiving. :( Maybe it's just something Christians or people of faith understand. I think Michael was right when he taught forgiveness as a way to heal the world. Of course everyone has a right to believe as they wish. But this is what Ive been taught and understand about forgiveness. I just found it sad that some see forgiveness as doing something wrong. Its not. Its a godly attribute. IMO as I believe.

Katherine Jackson: Four Years Is Not Enough For Conrad Murray

Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, is slated to appear in a just announced interview with Piers Morgan next week.

In a preview from the forthcoming special, Jackson levies serious allegations against Dr. Conrad Murray and talks about life without Michael.

"You know what? I can't even describe the way I feel about him. He did a terrible thing. And it might have been others involved," Jackson tells Piers Morgan regarding Murray. "I don't know that. But I feel that. The only thing he did -- for a person's life, four years in jail is not enough."

Speaking of her son, Katherine Jackson claims she'll never get over his death.

"Never. Every morning, all through the day, I think about Michael. If I wake up through the night, my mind is there," says Jackson. "But -- I just miss him. But being a Christian and believing in the resurrection, I feel that I'll see him again."

Katherine Jackson appears on Piers Morgan Tonight Monday, May 14 (CNN).

I totally agree on this statement, Piers must had quoted Michael's words on child abuse and Katherine should had stood more for her children to defend them from that tyran.

If Tito dared to say that about CM, how could he!? The way Michael was neglected and murdered you can't say "things happen"! WTF is wrong with those guys! :angry:

Thank you, I so agree. I do not consider myself Christian, but I understand this concept of forgiveness very well. This approach is very hard because many people equal "forgiveness" with "acquittal". Forgiveness is the inner feeling. You try your best to stop hating. You become neutral at very best towards the person whom you forgive because you DON'T WANT to hate.
