Random Thoughts Part 11

I think we all can agree that we want to make sure that Michael's legacy is being preserved the correct way so that people can truly understand why Michael was and will always be a legend. Part of his legacy is his music and his music is the main reason why he has such a huge fanbase. Michael's music is sacred to millions of people and when big corporations, whose only goal is to make money, crapped on the music, the fans have to state and do something. Fans have done that but it seems what they have done and stated has more to do with wanting the music instead of accepting the truth. Katherine is Michael's beloved mother but at times, one have to question what is really going on. I will explain more on this post. Once again, certain people should not be writing books on Michael if they are not willing to accept who he really was and I will tell you why I stated that. Michael's children are showing the world that his legacy of giving back will never go unnoticed and his nephews continue to do right by him. I will also talk about why I feel that Bela Farkas is proof that Michael was truly a hero.

The Truth About Deborah Jeanne Rowe (REVISED 2019)

When I started this blog in 2011, I never thought that I would ever discuss Deborah Jeanne Rowe because I did not think she would be mentioned at all after Michael was murdered. Michael stopped dealing with that woman long before he was killed and the two children he had with her, Michael Jr. and Paris, had no communication with her. Things changed when news surfaced in April of 2013 that Paris was seeing Debbie at her ranch/home. When I read the article, I was furious because once again, Michael's wishes for his children were being ignored. The last thing his children have to deal with was the wrath of Debbie. 

My "issue" with Debbie started in 1996 when I found out that Michael Jackson got married for the second time. I was shocked and I was hoping that his new wife would be of color. Boy, was I completely wrong. Not only was she not of color, she was unattractive and very happy. I saw probably the most strangest, oddest and off putting wedding picture of all time. Michael looked very unhappy and trapped while Debbie was elated and knew that she hit the jackpot. I knew that Michael was making a huge mistake and I also knew that the marriage was not real and that Debbie was bad news.

As the years went by, information regarding their "marriage" and the aftermath started to surface. The "union" between Michael and Debbie went from supposed "friendship" to downright terrible. This blog post is not about bashing Debbie Rowe and making her out to be the bad person - that has already happened. This blog post is about telling Michael's side of the story and in turn, forces the reader to consider that Debbie was with Michael for her own benefit. The facts and information that will be posted on here are not created from the sky but from actual evidence. I am expecting backlash from this because most of Michael's fans will never accept the fact that Debbie was the ultimate opportunist and did everything in her power to get what she wanted from Michael. I will accept the backlash. The root to this blog is to tell the truth about Michael and not lie to anyone about him. I would defeat the purpose of this blog if I ignored what Debbie did to Michael so that majority of Michael's fans can accept what I do. If that was the case, this blog would not exist. Anyway, read on and hopefully, you will see the real Deborah Jean Rowe. 

He knew he was screwed. Poor guy, 1996.

The AEG Trial: The Good, The Bad and The Uncalled For Verdict

When the Jacksons vs. AEG Wrongful Death Trial began in early April, I was ready to follow the trial and the updates in regards to the trial. During the jury selection process, the judge presiding the case, Judge Yvette Palazuelos, made the decision not to televised the trial. In order for anyone to know the updates of the trial, they would have to follow certain members of the media on facebook and twitter who were reporting the trial or read court transcripts. As the trial went on to its course, I started to know what Michael really went through at the hands of AEG. Then, on October 3rd, 2013, a verdict was reached and AEG won. This blog post will get into my feelings about the trial and why I decided to stop following the trial.

Random Thoughts Part 6

The theme for this edition of Random Thoughts is anger. Anger is a very dangerous emotion no matter how much you slice it. If one can handle their anger, then they will not use their anger to hurt anyone. At times, I wonder if being angry is the only thing that keeps me from having a nervous breakdown when things are crazy. I have stated it so many times on this blog that I am disgusted by how things are happening regarding Michael's legacy and his family. I am going to explain three types of anger that I am experiencing at the moment. I am angry at a family member of Michael's, angry that Michael's wishes for his children are being ignored. I want to make it clear that the things that I am going to state will anger some readers and I want to apologize in advance because no matter what I state, the readers who will be angry at this post will never truly understand the true suffering Michael went through.

Magazine Scans: Ebony Magazine 1990

The Civil Case between the Jackson Family V. AEG is making headlines almost everyday. This case will determine if AEG are liable and responsible for the murder of Michael Jackson. The case will also make the Jacksons billionaires and one of the richest families in America and the world. The fascination with the Jacksons have been in existence since 1970 and 43 years later, people all over the world want to know what is going on with the the first family of popular music. Back in 1990, Katherine Jackson wrote a book about her famous family called My Family: The Jacksons and Ebony magazine did a cover page article that featured the excerpts from the book. During that time, Michael and Janet ruled the Billboard charts with hit songs and record breaking tours, LaToya was starting to cause problems and the family was slowly becoming tabloid fodder. I wanted to post the article to remind people that at the end of the day, the Jacksons are a family and in all families there is dysfunction. So, please sit back and enjoy this cover story of the Jacksons from the archives of Ebony magazine.

Michael's Children & Mother on This Week's People

On my way to work this morning, I went to a book store to ask the register if they had change for $20.00. As I was looking at the register, I saw the new issue of People magazine and saw Katherine with Prince, Paris and Blanket on the upper left hand side of the cover. I was shocked because I did not expect to see them on the cover.

X-Factor USA: Tribute To Michael

I found out the night before November 30th, X-Factor was going to do a Michael Jackson tribute show. So, as the uber fan, I could not wait for the show to start. I did missed at least 15 minutes of the show because I was coming home late from work. I did not see when Michael's brothers came on the stage and spoke about Michael. 


Here is a recap of the show -

Review: Michael Jackson - Life of a Icon

I had a chance to purchase the David Gest  documentary of his good friend, Michael Jackson, almost three weeks ago. I wanted to find the time to actually watch the film so I can have an overall opinion of it. So on November 13th, I watched the film.

$30M - Is It Enough?

This week, the Michael Jackson Estate released documents to the media of the payment that Katherine Jackson and Michael three children, along with unnamed charities will be receiving. In the documents, as told through this article -
