  • I get so tired of people always trying to put the Jacckson family down. There aren't perfect but show me a family that is.My family sure isn't but we love each. The media don't have Michael to go after now so it's his family now.

  • I was a fan from the Jackson 5 days. I grew up with Michael Jackson....it's like he was a member of my family. And June 25th I lost that member of my family. And my heart still is in sorrow. Janet I know you loved your brother and my prayers are with you and your family. Help look after Michael's kids.

    • You know some people are so foolish. Do you tell the truth all the time? If you said yes, then you're a liar and that makes you no better than the Jacksons does it?

    • I look at Katherine Jackson and I see the pain in her face. That was her son not some superstar and it was Janet's brother and I truly believe she loved Michael too. I'm not so sure about Joe. Be strong Janet. Michael's kids need you too.

  • Hope you're doing okay Janet. It's a one a day thing. Some days you are feeling better then there are days when you just can't believe he is gone. It doesn't seem real. Michael is no longer with us. Will never forget him. NEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
