Fadzi once I was at her private concert in the front row and I cried SO HARD she litterally STOPPED the concert and called me to the stage and hug me and said everything will be ok. Best night of my life

LOL, Supa, I'm jealous!! I was always fascinated with her big hair...Then the disco phase got me ("Upside Down"). She is quite the icon

that can depend on the family. Drucilla rowell has a daughter who looks totally caucasian. My cousin, who's AA, has a daughter who looks totally caucasian. depends on which genes dominate.

Actually, one of the accusers recanted his accusation and said his father made him do it. I believe MJ was guilty of bad judgment. If he was a child molester, there would have been more accusations.

Sbaglio & Supa:

When I use to "run" in the entertainment/fashion circles in NYC, I was told many times Diana is a good mother and that her children are very polite. I think MJ knew what he was doing. Although I'm still amazed he didn't appoint Rebbie.

I read something like that online yesterday, manni. Seems Diana Ross is known to have been very attentive to her kids. I never really knew much about Rebbie. I DO remember liking her song "Centipede" though LOL!

Maybe with the amount of money involved, MJ didn't want his family to be divided... Money changes people; I would have thought he would have appointed either Rebbie or Janet (she seems to be a bit level-headed) but a family fight could have been started that wouldn't have done anyone any good.

I bet his kids and him had fun screwing around with the media like that.I know I would.

Michael’s father was too harsh, but he was doing what he thought was best so his sons wouldn't have to work in a steel mill in Indiana or wind-up on the streets, living a life of crime. And I agree with you, I also think Katharine was a bad mother for NOT putting her foot down. I believe if she did Michael might be alive today, and the family not so dysfunctional.

We have to remember Katharine did allow this to happen, but for some reason ALL of her children are still loyal to her.

Maybe she tried to put her foot down and got beat up and who knows what.Maybe she didn't know where to turn to get away from an abusive husband with 8 kids that the world knew what they looked like. We don't know all the details like the kids know.Also when the Jacksons were kids I'm sure it was a whole different world for woman,Especially black woman.

Sbaglio:

I guess he saw well her kids turned out that he wanted her to raise them if his mom couldn't.

Ummm... hello?? What about Love Hangover??

Supa:

Hey, what about the theme from Mahogany...it's classic

You're right it was hard for ALL women back then; no matter if the man beat you/ cheated on you, the wife was at fault.

Fadzi, Quincy Jones seems to agree with a lot of what you said about MJ.

I LOOOOVE Mahogany!! And yes that song is amazing. Watching Mahogany made me wanna grow up and go to Europe to model. Never modeled in Italy but I did in Paris


The only reason why I said Love Hangover is because Fadzi said he went through his disco stage.

Fadzi - With all this talk of disco phase, jerhi curls etc... now I must insist on see pic's!!!! Haha.... LOL

Hey Storm, I saw the article. Quincy knew him better than most. I don't think he was just making assumptions.
