Janet Jackson speaks out in her first interview since the death of her older brother Michael Jackson.
Janet tells Harper's Bazaar magazine that she hasn't watched television since hearing about the death of her brother on June 25. "You have to forgive me, because it's really hard to believe he's passed," she tells the publication.
She says of growing up with the King of Pop, "He'd have the same red shirt, the same black pants, the same white T-shirt. Mike was very simple. When I was 14 years old, I would shop for him. [Michael was then 21.] I washed his clothes, cleaned his room. When mother would go out of town, she'd say, 'I'm leaving you in charge. Take care of Mike.' I would head home from school, see what he needed, then go straight to the stores."
Janet also explained how Michael started wearing one white glove. "That was actually my brother Jackie's idea at home one day. ... He just said, 'You should wear one glove. A white glove.' And then Mike studded it all. That was it."
She continues to reminisce about her brother's style, "If it was shiny, if it had any kind of bling, he loved it. It was that drummer-boy look. Do you remember that black jacket he wore for Motown's 25th anniversary? That's our mother's! He grabbed that from her closet! He loved anything that sparkled."

In my opinion about Michael Jackson, he is one of few musicians who has a successful career despite whatever problems or mistakes he may have done in the past.
You have to understand that when he and his siblings form 'The Jackson 5', he became a favorite musician worldwide. I have listen some of his earliest songs to his last album when he passed away in 2009.
I am not a major fan of Michael Jackson, but he is one of many musicians that I listen to now and again whenever I am on YouTube.
You can also search some of his dance moves on YouTube by YouTubers who had tried out his moves, such as 'The Moonwalk', The Thriller', 'The Lean' and many more that I have not heard of myself.
There are a few songs that I do like from Michael Jackson when he was alive before his death.
Thriller, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Earth Song, They Don't Care About Us, Black or White and Man in the Mirror
