In addition to being the mother of famous world-renowned entertainer, Katherine Jackson was Michael's staunchest ally alongside close friends Dame Elizabeth Taylor and former child star, Macaulay Culkin. In view of the recent events of Mrs. Jackson having to share guardianship of Michael's three children with her grandson, I believe jealousy played a part in the dissension of Mrs. Jackson and the surviving members of the Jackson family.

After all, alongside older brother, Jackie, acting as talent scout and Katherine, they pulled some strings to get their father, Joe, to hear Michael sing landing him a spot in the vocal group, the Jackson 5 back in 1964. Katherine has supported Michael all through his career and welcomed former wives Lisa Marie Presley and former nurse, Debbie Rowe, into the family. It was Michael who took care of her up until he passed on in 2009, as well, as including her and his three children in his will back in 2002, which caused dissension among his father and his siblings.

As a devout Jehovah's Witness since 1965, it was Katherine, who got Michael to marry his then-pregnant girlfriend, Debbie Rowe, back in 1996 because unlike his father, didn't him have children out of wedlock, which resulted in the birth of his estranged half-sister, Joh'Vonnie back in 1974. When Michael was accused twice of sexual misconduct towards a minor she was at his side the whole time telling him everything was going to be all right. Since Michael trusted her a great deal, he appointed guardianship alongside good friend, Diana Ross if Katherine was no longer able to look after his children.

Although everyone else supported Michael, it was Katherine who had his back from jumpstreet. To this day, I she still grieves for Michael and despite his shortcomings, he was still her son regardless what the media says about him.
“After Thriller we went to Disney World and I have this photograph in my library that I really treasure which is a really silly photo of Michael Jackson, Mickey and me. The guy took like two pictures when I heard this deafening noise and I looked and I saw this security guy *****ing out and talking into his microphone. I turned around and I don’t really know how to explain it but it was the only time in my life that I was truly terrified and I thought, “We’re dead”. It was a sea of people and they completely surrounded this island of grass and they were held back by this little chain...

Maria von Köhler's Michael Jackson sculpture at the Premises Studios
Maria von Köhler's Michael Jackson sculpture at the Premises Studios
Hackney music studio The Premises has been on the receiving end of ‘hate mail’ after they installed a Michael Jackson sculpture.

The controversial artwork – called Madonna and Child – depicts the moment in Berlin in 2002 when the King of Pop held his baby out of a window. True to the original incident, the life-size statue leans out of the building.

Now the Premises Studios has become the target of abusive emails from Jackson fans, who say the sculpture is an insult to their hero.

One described it as: “The most outrageous sick thing that could have ever gone on in the city of London.”...

Goodbye my Soul friend
Goodbye My Soul Love
I saw you standing at the doors of Neverland
ready to pick me up and say Goodbye
You were looking at me with tears in your eyes,
I heard your voice saying ''I'll be back''
The dance is over,I was sitting by the fire missing the touch of your Neverland spirit
The Neverland doors were closing and opening
in a shape of the wind your voice was remaining in my heart wanting you to come back to me,but it's too late cuz you're not here with me...
Goodbye my Soul friend
Goodbye my Soul Love
The one that made my heart lift up in the sky
Watching you in Neverland,be blessed...

Michael my heart,

last night I dream of you,
you were embracing me from my back.
I heard your heartbeat and it beats so fast,
like our promise that our love will never end.

We had so much fun together,
that I wished to go on forever.
Talks and laugh ,kissing and cuddling,
like no other people existing.

Holding each others hands while we walked,
all your attention was just for us.
I can't think of anything when you talked,
but I love you more and more, you see.

We stopped walking and you looked at me sweetly,
then you leaned over and kissed me.
My heart popped out and I saw butterflies,
you said you love me truly. oh sorry and then, I awake up and my dream was to end.
It was still a memory to reminisce, your kiss was so tender and sweet.

Love and miss you !! ♥

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...

If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...

If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Live and sin
Ten years ago on this day, my heart was yearning
I promised I would never ever be returning
Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning

As we walked into the room, there were faces
Saring, glaring, tearing through me
Someone said welcome to your doom
Then they smiled with eyes that looked as if they knew me
This is scaring me

We walked up the stairs still concealing gloom
There were two girls sitting in My room
She walked up to my face
And said this is the place
You said meet you right here at noon

Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel

Hope is dead
She thought...

What I wanted more than anything was to be ordinary.
The Sabbath was when I could be.
By: Michael Jackson.


In one of our conversations together, my friend Rabbi Shmuley told me that he had asked some of his colleagues–-writers, thinkers, and artists-–to pen their reflections on the Sabbath. He then suggested that I write down my own thoughts on the subject, a project I found intriguing and timely due to the recent death of Rose Fine, a Jewish woman who was my beloved childhood tutor and who traveled with me and my brothers when we were all in the Jackson Five.

Last Friday night I joined Rabbi...

Michael Jackson's producer/director for the "This Is It" tour will be a star witness for the prosecution in Dr. Conrad Murray's preliminary hearing which begins today ... sources tell TMZ.


Our sources tell us ... Kenny Ortega will testify that on June 19, 2009 -- a week before MJ died -- Michael complained he was cold, had the shakes and was unable to perform ... so the rehearsal was canceled.

The next day -- June 20 -- an emergency meeting was held at Michael's home. Kenny Ortega, several big wigs from AEG, Michael, and Dr. Conrad Murray were present. We're told the meeting was "intense, loud...

idk why im typing this but hear it goes.
i have been thinking rly hard lately and saw so many magnificent poems and articles and stuff.
i feel guilty inside and want to make a big differences in the world if only i could.
i want to help the homeless and the kids that don't get much for x-mas i feel like i should do something and i want to help so bad but how.
it makes me cry every time i think of people like that and sometimes a vice in my head pops up and says "that should be me."
a tear or two streams down my face.
i remember how michael didn't lose hope to help a little boy get a liver. without...

The owners of the Neverland Ranch -- the former home of Michael Jackson -- want to turn the property into a teenage music haven.


TMZ has learned Colony Capital wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a small music institute -- similar to The Juilliard School in NYC. The plan is to teach teens all aspects of music, including writing and performing.

Colony wants to turn the property into a campus, in which scores of teenagers -- rich and poor -- can learn the trade that made Michael Jackson a legend.

There are two big stumbling blocks. The first is making sure Santa Barbara County will sign off on such a project.

The second -- and bigger issue -- is whether Colony Capital can use Michael Jackson's name to promote such an institute. TMZ has good news for Colony .... sources directly connected with the Michael Jackson Estate tell us, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it."
So when one of the sequined gloves the King of Pop wore during his "Bad" Tour went up for bid at an auction of celebrity memorabilia in Beverly Hills, Calif., there was a frenzy surrounding the hot item.

The furious bidding took place at Julien's Auctions, where the lone glove worn by Jackson in the late 1980s sold for $330,000 at the "Icons & Idols" auction Saturday night.

More of Jackson's duds from his stage wardrobe went up for auction, including a jacket signed by the icon, which brought in $96,000 and a fedora he wore on stage, which went for $72,000.

There were also some unusual items...

- Know what I also love? Mannequins. I guess I want to bring them to life. I like to imagine talking to them. You know what I think it is?
Yeah, I think I'll say it.

I think I'm accompanying myself with friends I never had. I probably have two friends. And I just got them. Being an entertainer, you just can't tell who is your friend. And they see you so differently. A star instead of a next-door neighbor. That's what it is. I surround myself with people I want to be my friends. And I can do that with mannequins. I'll talk to them.

I sit there and say, 'Please don't call me up, I am too shy.'...

You came and changed my life
You Let Me survive
I never felt like this before
It's very perfect more Than I Thought
I came to This world hopeless,helpless
you Made Me Speechless
I was alone with no friend
you came my friend
Until The end
and never looked for How Much you had to spend
when My fears came
you came and took The shame
you lifted me up In the sky
and Made me fly so high
like a butterfly
cause you're angel In My sky
you opened my heart
Through blocked walls
You Made Me See the light
through Darkness night
You were My dreams
through My fighting In nightmare
I can't explain Much
how I Feel About You
Just Let my feelings come to you
Cause I love you
yes It's true!!!!!!!!!!

I just couldn't help but do a little review on the song I'll be there. Everytime I hear this song, I just want to tell someone how beautiful it is. Unfortunatly I don't have many people close to me that like Michael.

I'm sure I've talked about I'll be there before in answers. But here you go.

I want to start with michaels voice. In the song, young Michaels voice is so magical, amazing, beautiful..,
I like to describe it as melted gold, honey, the sound of an angel... I just can't describe it in any other way

The voices of Michaels brothers in the background also add to the magic. For example,...

Anthony: We have a question from SJ Chams who wonders, "Do you think you'll do another duet with Janet?"
Michael: I would love to! It depends on the song, the time. When she's in one corner of the Earth, I'm in another place. It's very rare that our ships pass in the night. So it's not easy to do 'cause we're both very busy. But that would be very nice. I love working with her. She's a true real professional and a wonderful sister.
Anthony: Excellent. Ah, we have Sheik 33 who wonders, "Who was your idol when you were a child?"
Michael: I always went nuts for.... I mean, I could be asleep......
