First, Michael's movie, “This is It... See More,” now this TV special “This is It 2"... is it possible for these family to wait more than five minutes before they try to find another way to make money off of the fame of their brother? If you really want to "honor" your brother, how about finding a way to support one of the causes near and dear to his heart instead of finding a way to line their own pockets? I am sorry, but I feel as if didn’t Michael Jackson suffer experience enough loss of privacy and tragedy in his life? Sandra you may have throw in the towel, but for his family too continue to ignore his wishes upon his death, it is heartbreaking to me and leaves me and many others with the impression that this program is not about the loss of their brother, Michael Jackson. If Michael's brother's were so serious about honoring his death, they would have sought alternate ways to show support, like rallying for one of his humanitarian causes and they would have respected his wishes to maintain his precious, privacy, upon his untimely death. RIP ~MJ

 

I disagree about the STUPID comment about Michael's This Is IT movie being a "waist" (it's waste - dummy!) of time. This movie shows how talented, gifted and kind Michael was. The concert would have been AWESOME! He is truly missed!

 

I am a HUGE Jackson fan, and I for one don't want to see the family fall off the face of the earth. As a JACKSON fan I ALWAYS hoped for a reunion of ALL the brothers. I actually preferred Michael with his brothers as opposed to being solo. I think as a solo artist he got TOO FAR OUT THERE. I wish them the best and hope they begin performing again.

 

~~DEAR,IDIOTS~~

I think that the "This Is It" movie was bullcrap and a waist of time also people's money. Kenny Ortega just wanted to be in the spotligt and make some money off of that stupid rehearsal that he was doing with M.J.,. You see that they said that the movie was only for an limited time in theaters and then those stupid idiots extended the time just to make people go see that stupid *rehearsal* it wasn't even a movie. Next time try making money in a better way like selling his clthes ,pictures,and personal items on ebay or something.

I can appreciate what charlie has written about Jehovah and keeping him in their lives, they definatley would have been better than what they turned out to be. And for those of you who don't know who Jehovah is. Well to it simply, he is God our holy father

 

I wish the brother and sisters would have kept Jehovah in their lives. Now they are all messed up. They should go back to the Kingdom Hall and get some spiritual food. Michael obviously knew his children would be better off with his mother, a good woman, who loves and worships a good father, Jehovah.

 

This is one reality show I will definitely watch.

 

I LOVE THE JACKSON FAMILY SOOO MUCH AND I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS SHOW...ALSO U PEOPLE NEED TO STOP COMMENTING BAD THINGS ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY,ALL U ARE DOIN IS WRITTING RIDICULOUS AND UNTRUE WRONG THINGS ABOUT THIS FAMILY THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE, THIS FAMILY DOESNT DESERVE UR STUPID HARSH COMMENTS AT ALL,THIS REALLY ANNOYS ME,CAUSE I LOVE THE JACKSON FAMILY AND MICAEL SOOO MUCH

 

I plan to view the show. I have no problems with the family decision to have a reality show. I don't think that MJ would mind either. To my knowledge he never wanted to prevent his siblings from working. Hopefully the show will paint the Jacksons and MJ in a positive light.

 

i may catch the first couple of episodes to get a feel for it.

 

They need to sit on down...this is so self seeking and obvious!

 

@eVe

The whole text is important. Money itself is netual. It's not good or bad. Not the LOVE of money is what leads to trouble.


As for the show as I understand it the show was already planned for before Michael's death. The timing looks bad. I don't like reality shows. I hope this family can pull themselves together somehow.

 

Wow I cannot believe what is going on,At one time you could not even hear what was going on with Michael and now that he is dead and gone you hear his music every where, posters, inpersonaters,why in the world could this not happen when he was breathing and walking and talking.How he (Michael) reached out for help to be with his fans and people just ignored him, I know his spirit is not resting well with this at all, I just hope there is not any backlash on his children. This world is so Money Hungry it is so ridicuous.

 

@ Nuni

Thanks, but I am very much aware of the full text and did not intend to quote it in its entirety.

 

@eVe

The quote is The love of money is the root of all evil. And it's true. There are some greedy vulture feeding off of MJ as they've always done.
