  • I also use to hate Joe; but I do not believe Joe didn't love Michael. Joe is a hard a$$ and he doesn't wear his true emotions on the outside, so people thinks he's cold. I am the same way. I feel as much if not more than others and I do my best to keep my stone resolve so nothing can get to me. I suspect, no I would bet every penny I have that Joe is the same way!

  • I Totally Believe That Michael Surrounded Himself With People Who Didn't Care For His Well Being. My Heart Goes Out To his Children And I Hope They Stay With their Grandmother Katherine. We Love You Michael.

  • Joe Jackson would say or do anything to get publicity for himself. His whole life was all about riding the coattails of his children.

  • LET'S BE REAL PEOPLE ONE OF THE MAIN COMMANDMENTS GOD MADE IS TO HAVE NO OTHER GOD'S BEFORE HIM.IN MANY PLACES PEOPLE CRIED FOR MICHAEL MORE THAN THEY WOULD HAVE FOR THEIR OWN SOUL. HERE WE HAVE A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE CREATION BEING WORSHIPED MORE THAN THE CREATOR. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO LIVE A LIFE OF SIN ALL YOUR LIFE AND IN YOUR DEATH BE CELEBRATED AS A SAINT. THIS IS SIMPLY AN EXAMPLE TO US THAT YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD AND BE LOVED BY EVERYONE BUT HAVE NOT GOD AND HAVE NO PEACE,NO JOY, AND A TROUBLED MIND AS MICHAEL DID. I PRAY THAT THE JACKSON FAMILY RECOVERS FROM THIS LOST AS WELL AS OTHERS.BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THIS MUCH PEOPLE TAKING ABOUT JESUS HIMSELF AND HE DIED FOR US.SO IN CONCLUSION HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

  • I really think that maybe the doctors assisted michael's death. I loved michael and for no other reason than he is a human being, the family needs to hurry and bury his body. Give him his final rest. If the family can't deal with the media and the thought of people maybe digging up his body then they should cremate him and let it. No one is going to try to seperate his ashes from a body of water. Michael should be taken out of the country to Africa where he has so many times helped.

  • Why are you even wasting your time interviewing this thug? He is such a loser. He helped kill his son when he beat him and called him ugly. Joe Jackson is right there though trying to cash in on the bucks, his new record company and anything else he can get. He is a loser, nobody. Get him off tv.

  • As a Christian, I should not be saying this, but the only way the Jackson family will ever come together and stop the bickering will be by the death of Daddy Joe. This money grabbing so called human being has been the biggest disgrace to this family for many years. Yes, it may have been Joe who brought the Jackson’s to fame, but with his big head, $$$ filled eyes and ego got in the way and his beating of the kids, that took all credibility away from him.

    • I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME OF U WILL BE MAKING ALL THIS SILLY ASSUMPTION FORGETTING THAT NO MATTER HOW ONE FAMILY CAN BE THERE IS NOT AS THICK AS BLOOD. WHEN MJ WAS ON TRIAL 05,WHO ARE THE PPLE THAT STOOD BY HIM? HIS FAMILY 24/7. HE SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH PPLE THAT CAN ONLY SAY YES TO HIM ALL FOR MONEY.ALL THIS DOC'S GOT SO MUCH MONEY FROM HIM AND SO FORTH, DON'T FORGET THAT WITHOUT JOE AND THE WHOLE FAMILY, THERE CAN NEVER BE MICHAEL JACKSON. SO PLS TRY TO APPRECIATE FAMILY. WITH ALL MJ'S MONEY ALOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT BENEFITED ON IT ARE THE KILLERS THAT HE SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH, AS MY MOTHER USE TO SAY,WHEN 5BROTHERS GOES IN TO TALK AND THEY CAME OUT LAUGHING, THEY HAVEN'T SPOKEN THE TRUTH. THAT IS ONE REASON Y MJ DROVE HIS FAMILY AWAY BCOS NO MATTER HOW BAD THIS GOSSIPS MAY SAY,THEY ARE STILL FAMILY.
