June 25th, 2013 marks the 4 year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death. Since his untimely demise, many parts of the entertainers life has been brought to life and from what I've seen, MJ may not have been as off his rocker as we once thought.
MJ was always one of the world's biggest and best entertainers since he began singing with his brothers. There was something special about him when we first heard "I Want You Back." Watching him perform with his brothers on Ed Sullivan, you see a certain spark in this kid's eye. You could see the determination and longing to be the best that anyone could be in their field. His just happened to be music and entertainment.
Well, fast forward 40+ years later, we see a family that is sad, broken and bewildered. The brothers don't appear to get along well. There are reports that Janet is tired of footing the bills for her family and has cut them off. MJ's kids don't appear to be happy and seem to be lost in the crazy world of Jacksons.
Since MJ's death, different family members have done reality shows. The brothers' show, "Jackson Family Dynasty" showed the brothers doing nothing but bickering and Jermaine wanting to take the crown from MJ as the "King." This guy really really thinks that he is a "star." This is the same guy that released the "You Said" album and told MJ that he was jealous because he had the better album (than "Dangerous). Come on, why would you make a record dissing your own brother? No matter how much bad blood may have been between them, the one thing he didn't have to do was diss his own brother on record.
As for LaToya's new show, I really like it. She is so likable and fun, but you still see a person with LOTS of issues. Poor thing, she has been dictated to all of her life and doesn't seem to even know to navigate life on her own. I really believe a lot of the things that she says. Yes, she comes across as dingy and batty, but the girl is probably the most sane one that is in the public eye.
You know, I really feel sorry for his children. These kids lost the only parent they have ever known. Now they are just going from house to house because everyone wants a piece of their money. Who wouldn't want to be the guardian of children that get $30K a month?
Now all of the allegations of Paris trying to commit suicide tells me that she is lost. I pray for those children and those around them. At the rate they are going, they will be the next Amanda Bynes if someone doesn't step in and help these children.
Sure, MJ was a great singer and entertainer; definitely one of the best to ever live. It just goes to show you that no matter how much money a family/person has, the problems get magnified even more.
