Oprah Remembers Michael Jackson

To all my friends,

HAPPY TURKEY DAY! EAT LOTS OF TURKEY FOR ME BECAUSE I DO NOT EAT NOR DO I LIKE TURKEY! We are all so blessed because they are many out there who cannot even eat one meal on Thanksgiving Day. Please don't drink and drive.

Love you most,

peace

Hi fanmj1,

I appreciate the information. I will take your advice and buy the book.

peace

Harpobear..could you enlighten me as to why my posts don't seem to appear day after day I've checked out the house rules & have not broken any of them, yet still nothing????

Michael Jackson was a beautiful black man unlike any other man black or white and your Remembrance Show failed to illustrate this on so many levels. The opportunity of ones lifetime was granted to you first in 1993. You alone had the privillege of sharing intimate company with one of the most remarkable human beings of our time and yet you chose to focus your attention on the more tabloid type trash both then and now.

Michael Jackson deserved so much more. ... GONE TOO SOON ...

There are lessons yet to be learn't by all those who willingly participated in the relentless persecution and death of Michael Jackson.I believe that in time as is with all things, that the TRUTH will TRIUMPH one day soon and the lord will do the rest.

Michael Jackson's music has been a part of my life for as long as I care to remember and one of my biggest regrets is not seeing Him perform live when he toured here in New Zealand. Something changed in me the day He died. I can't explain it,but I'm not the same I know that now. I hope to travel to the USA 2010, I'd like to visit Forrest Lawn just once.

Longafter, Sabadory, Wapeople, Cynthiawas, Susanrello, Maggie634, Cartmell05 I have read every post on this blog since its conception Sept 10 and I would like to take this time to personally thank you all for sharing. It has been an interesting journey reading and reserarching the life of Michael Jackson and one that has moved me to tears on more ocassions than I can count.. Thankyou all. I will continue to check in on this blog for as long as it is here...keep on keeping on cos YOU ROCK!!

*We could fly so high

Let our spirits never die

In my heart

I feel you are all my brothers*

peace and much love,

Personally I think Evan Chander's lawyer took things too far by using the media to make MJ look like a serial pedophile so he could get the settlement. All those stories when checked into are 100% false.

I often wonder how long it took for the lawyer Barry Rothman to come up with his plan. He back MJ into a legal wall. For all MJ's money & attorneys they certainly were blindsided. Yes it was planned well planned. Well before he flew off to the World Music Awards in my humble opinion.

It's not likely Jordan would lose the money even if he spoke to the law. The money is separate from what MJ was accused of. The document states clearly that Michael Jackson did not engage in any sexual acts with the boy and Jordan's parents signed it. As far as that document is concerned no improper sexual conduct occurred. The document is only concerned with neglient acts like having sleepovers with children. He did have sleepovers with Jordan, THE neglient act. It's disgusting but I don't think he would lose a dime. The thing Jordan risks is public ridicule as he should. He wasn't the only child questioned back in 1993 and they all told the truth. Jordan lacks a moral compass and should endure the torture MJ lived for 16 years.

I want to which all the ladies and gentleman on the board a Happy Thanksgiving.

Let's keep keeping real fellow posters. Justice is coming.

Not having kept abreast of Michael Jackson's career and life for more than 30 years, his death prompted me to "catch up." I too had admired his music and dance as a young star who quickly rose to the top. But then I got married and had my hands full figuring out my own life.

With MJ's death I bought every book ever written about him, and poured through countless magazine articles. Like a sponge, I absorbed every detail. That's also when I began my newfound passion with the internet. I watched every video I could find of his rehearsals, performances, interviews and personal life. I even enjoyed videos created by fans. Some I would watch repeatedly, as if I could feel "in my bones" what he was like, what his relationship with Lisa Marie was like. Thank goodness my husband and daughter had the utmost patience when I talked about Michael nonstop. It's diminished considerably, but he remains "on the tip of my tongue." I'm only too happy to engage in conversation when his name is mentioned.

Learning everything about Michael for myself, I feel I know him without having relied upon someone else's depiction, especially that of the media who "spin" like mad weavers every shred of news they can get their hands upon. When I'm passionate about something I learn the facts, both pros and cons, from as many sources as possible. Having looked at all available facts I then decide what to believe, arriving at my best educated guess.

No one but MJ and those directly involved can ever know what really happened. What is reported is either "hearsay" evidence, opinion, or pure fiction. We can only look for clues and make our own analyses. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, including Oprah. Look beyond the outer trappings, and like us, she is human. While her views may be interesting and persuasive, I don't take them as fact. We all arrive at the facts in our own time, in our own way. So while I can be influenced, I'm not easily swayed from my beliefs.

I did not see Oprah's interview with Michael, only her recent analysis of it. Having taped it to watch again in the future, I'll probably do so sometime soon. Unlike many I did not see disdain in her retelling; I saw compassion for a lost soul. Perhaps because I'd read so much about MJ I can understand her hesitation to define as fact, situations where the complete truth will never be known. That's buried with Michael as it should be.

I think Michael is happy just knowing that regardless of our beliefs, none of us can stop talking about him. It's a fact that MJ believed in PR, preferably good; but he survived the not-so-good as well. I for one am very glad he lives on in the hearts and minds of millions.

Hi uaremylife,

"You Are My Life" is one of my favorite MJ songs.

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US, and among many things that I am thankful for are MJ fans like you.

MJ was not only a singular, phenomenal TRUE tatent, and the body of works he left behind will endure for as long as there are people who appreciate his music and his unparallel ability to entertain, but just as important, his message of love and caring for humanity and for our planet reflected his innate goodness. It follows, therefore, that anyone who appreciates Michael, not just for his music but also as a human being - flaws and all - reflects his/her own goodness as a person. As the saying goes, "it takes one to know (or at least, recognize) one.

New Zealand is beautiful. Enjoyed it very much. When you visit the U.S. next year, I hope some of us can visit Forest Lawn and do the MJ trek together. How great would that be?

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it. To those that don't, happy Thursday.

I developed all of my love and appreciation for lyrics and rhythm through listening and living in the time of michael jackson. I am greatful that I was allowed to live in his time.

For all those who question Michael Jackson's judgement in surround himself with children, never forget in the end the only people who stood shoulder to shoulder when he was in real trouble were the children he befriended all those years ago.

Yep those kids saved him.

struggling fans as I always cry
hear his songs and don't know why
his smile was inviting and his life was full
so his death was untimely and just not cool
my sadness is so deep and hurt so bad
why do I miss him more than my dad
to my family I've become quite bizarre
they constantly tell me I've taken this to far
they just don't understand a MJ fan
we've a bond to this wondertul man
so my request to all of you
is what do you suggest that I do
when I feel like I am spiraling down
how do I pick my heart off of the ground
for those of you that read this post
please help me out CUZ I love you most

Love U More

PS. I am fine friends, I am just having a moment............

Hello Hugmamma,

Welcome. I just wanted to say that Michael has that effect on folks. He can capture your heart and your attention even through death!! Amazing isn't it? Well I can say that I didn't leave MJ. I was there for his 45+ years of entertainment. I love him because his voice was there for a little girl such as I when I was 11 years old dealing with my Mom's murder. With A Child's Heart was the song that got me through one of the roughest times a little girl could ever go through. I remember being dressed in all white along with my other sisters and brothers at my mom's funeral and I could not cry. About 2 weeks after the funeral I played that song on our HI-FI and the song got me through were I was able to cry and I still cry for Michael.

I am reminded everyday through MJ's music and like you searching the internet for videos and such! That is simply because he is remarkable. Just a phenominial person. I, like others that frequent this site would want you to be extremely careful of what you read. There were so many overnight "authors" out there that only wanted to write about Michael so that they could make money. They had no other motive. They were not writing in his favor and not even for the sake of truth!

Here are some of the MANY authors that wrote books about MJ with one agenda and that was to destroy him!!

Bob Jones - The man behind the mask

Ian Halperin - Unmasked

Diane Dimond - Be careful who you love

Rabbi Shmuel - The Michael Jackson Tapes

Of all the books that are listed here, my sadness is at is't highest after knowing that a Rabbi claims that a person whom he spoke in confidence with about the most intimate details of one's life were meant to be exposed. I will never ever believe that MJ would want any of that information "OUT THERE"!!

Who awaits these cruel folks when they meet there demise?
