LKL WEB EXCLUSIVE: Jermaine Jackson On His New Mission!

Jermaine, thank you for showing the positive side stuff Michael has done. Unlike the media who is doing nothing but focusing on the negative. Stay strong, Jermaine, and the rest of the Jackson family.

Your brother was a gift to this world. A gift of compassion and love and I hope one day his enemies will realize it….

Good luck Jermain, we’ll support you in your mission.

Dear Jermaine,

Your blog about Michael was moving and profound. When we ran into you in Woodland Hills last Sat. at the burger place, I wish I had told you more about how much so many of us appreciate the true magnificance of your wonderful brother and his mission. Please continue your work and never let the naysayers get you down. Of course you will continue to mourn the loss of Michael and so will millions of others who felt they were in the presence of a very special person. We love you all, you are a marvelous force, all of the family. God is taking care of Michael now, and all of you. Much love to you Jermaine and all your family.

Sue of Woodland Hills

Jermaine
Bravo Jermaine. Thank you for his article. It sheds light on the reason why his fans loved him so much.

I am a 60 year old woman who became touched by your brother Michael when he was involved with "We are the World"... it helped me to focus on what was really important during my lifetime... it inspired me... I will never forget his tremendous spirit and the way that he viewed the "world"... what an inspiration! I pray that he is at rest. He was an innocent in this terrible world. RIP MJ.

Correction
Thank you for this article

I AM SO HAPPY! THIS HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED BY MEDIA FOR TOO LONG! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO COVERAGE OF HIS RECORD BREAKING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WORLD! ONE WOULD THINK THE MEDIA WOULD MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO AIR SPECIAL TRIBUTE SPECIALS TO THE HUMANITARIAN WORK FROM MICHAEL. I AM STILL WAITING!!!!!!

Hi Jermaine, Thank you for spreading Michael's REAL message–of peace and love for humanity. He was a pure, gentle soul and I personally have heard and acted on his message to the WORLD. After he died I sponsored a child through world vision and have signed up to help at the homeless shelter in my city. This is how we honour Michael's life, through doing good works and of course we can continue to enjoy his amazing songs, dance, videos and concerts that are his other LEGACY. Keep spreading Michael's message. Love and prayers to you and your family

Jacquelyn... may u pliz fill me in on wat Jermaine said on LKL. m in england & wl onli hv it on tele 2mrw

Jermaine, thank you so much for sharing this information to all of Michael's fans. I knew that Michael was an amazing humanitarian and a philanthropist. It is so sad that the media did not have true facts about his true humanitarian, and focus only on his negative side, instead of his positive side.

Ex: In 2003, when your brother visited Gary, Indiana for his homecoming. I did not see not one major network talk about his homecoming, only on some local channels in my hometown of Chicago. When a little boy was murdered in the mean streets of Gary, Michael donated some money to the boy's family that will cover his funeral expenses.

I am deeply saddened of major news not giving Michael the credit that he deserves. I am very proud of you and the rest of the Jackson family of keeping his legacy alive. I know your brother is at peace, but now it is time for the new generation to carry the torch that your brother has had in the late 60s, 70s, 80s (King Of Pop), 90s, and the 00s.

Jermaine, I am still praying for you and the Jackson family.

Jermaine,

Please keep Michael alive, keep talking about him and his good works. Don’t let the media just let him go away because they are tried of reporting on him.

His birthday is coming up real soon what is being planned?

I just don’t want him to be forgotten he has millions of fan who loved him!

We will support you in this plan.

Love you always

is Jermaine on LKL 2nyt or 2mrw nyt?

To Jermaine and all the Jackson family. From Whitby, Ontario Canada I would like to express my sincerest sympathies to all of you. As a teeneager I watched Michael over and over and actually deeply in love with him. Although I had never met him I feel that I knew him to the core. I had the honour of attending one of his concerts in 1984 in Toronto and as well I travelled down to Buffalo as well to see him. You surely hear all the time that people love him, but I assure you I truly loved and still love him and mourn his untimely passing. For you to continue his vision of humanitaritism is a testiment to Michael as well as to you. "Koudos" Jermaine you are truly an angel. I wish you all the best in your plight to keep Michaels dreams alive as well as his legacy. And to his children, the Rev. Al Sharpten was right on the money, your daddy was an extrodinary man!

Can you tell us what charities he donated to, I'm sure many of us would like to donate to his favourite charities, in his name. Thank you Jermaine , parents, and family for sharing your beautiful son Michael with the world. I'm sure he got much of soul and character from you all, and God of course.

Jermaine, thank you for sharing your positive insights on Michael's life and his goodness. I pray for Michael's children, for you, your mom and your entire family. I never doubted Michael for one second; never, ever, even in the darkest moments brought on by all the negatives in this world. Peace and love...I am sure Michael is watching over you in your endeavors.

Malaika

I sure will.

dear Larry,
please Larry dnt ask Jermaine the kind of questions you enjoy asking, you know what i mean Larry, better ask him the questions Michael's fans posted here.

Larry......who cares? if you do get a life! Isn`t there anything better than this drama? Its like these boo hoo`s knew MJ.....are all you people so well off you have nothing better to do than boo hoo over this mess? I mean dont you think your money,homes,jobs,medical care, personal freedom, the list goes on and on are more important and worth intelligent discussion than this?????????.............

Sorry, one more thing. In the future would love to see attend a tribute concert to him, with performances by your family and video clips of Michael. Would travel far to see it. Please.

Beautiful words, Jermaine!

I hope your belief in G'd gives you comfort. At the end of our lives we can only trust on him. In death we are at our most vulnerable. Thank G'd he takes away our burdens and sorrow in the end and grants us a new being.

Jermaine will be on Friday

Jacquelyn... thanx

I just can't stop crying about MJ's death. I hate what the media and greedy people did to MJ. I think the media is just as guilty as his doctors for killing MJ. I have to forgive them because I know MJ would not promote hatered. He wanted people to love and help each other and not destroy one another. What a loving person?

Thank you Jermaine. Looking forward to seeing you on LKL on Friday.

Please carry on for Michael.

I want to share something with you that I hope will bring a smile to your face. When I first saw you guys on TV, The Ed Sullivan Show; Oh my god; I just wanted marry you. When you sang Daddy's home–Well, what can I say.

Please let us know how we can help to spread Michael's message.
I hope that Michael knew that his fans always supported and loved him no matter what.

This was very touching to read. I have become a huge fan of Michael, sadly only after his death. It is not only his music that inspires me, but all of these instances of care and compassion for all people. Sadly, I do believe the media did not show this side of Michael. But as Jermaine wrote, Michael didn't care if his good deeds were published.

Jermaine-such beautiful heartfelt words to describe an angel! I am 38 and grew up so inspired by Michael Jackson. I have had so many people tell me I view the world through rose colored glasses, since Michael's passing, I now realize he was so right. His loss is so painful, but I am so grateful God let us have him and his unmatched talent, compassion, and love as long as He did. My prayers are that your family and his children, although this time of grief must feel unbearable, know that he was so loved as the beautiful sole he was, not just an entertainer, and that in time, the pain is lessened. To the beautiful parents who gave him life, and the siblings, and children your loss is prayed for every day. Love and peace...

Rj, those things are very important. However, if more people were inspired to treat each other better, and be charitable with their money and time the world would be a better place. We just want people to realize that Michael's mission was to spread these ideas. Jermaine has a huge audience through Larry King and if viewers hear and continue with Michael's mission great things will happen in the world.

You are welcome, Malaika

I so agree and as a loyal fan as many of already knew that mike was special and that he always cared for people. its just sad that people are now seeing that. god is good and i want to live a life as he did

ILOVE YOU Jermaine and I am sooooooooooooooo HURT about Michael ( of courese I know that you are). I am PRAYING for ALL of your family.

Thank God and ALLAH that you are and will continuing MICHAEL's mission towards bettering "mankind" and this PLANET we live on.
((Michael never wanted to control anybody, he only wanted to spread happiness and joy.)) My SPIRIT bears witness to MICHAEL's a) PURPOSE b) JOURNEY and how we have been BLESSED by YOU, MICHAEL, Reebie, JACKIE,TITO,MARLON, latoya,Randy and Janet and ALL of your family. GOD provides answers and healing

""Asalaam Alaikum "" ( ad infinitum )

lindafromnewyork.. is MJ losing fans to JJ? LOL i pray Larry will onli ask the questions we posted here cz of late Larry hs bn acting unprofessional & asking weird question to guests

mr king enough is enough on michel jackson.we have heard enough on this man,lets get back to moreimportant issues going on in this world today,and every day.jackson is dead let it rest,and get on with life.

RJ
This is not the place for your negative comments-We want the family to know what Michael meant to his fans. Yes all those things you mentioned are important, but Michael Jackson was also important to us; unless you are fan you won't understand and I will not ask you to.

What has happened to Michael is truly very sad. Michael was a great person and a great performer. Just because he wanted a little privacy, he was considered strange. Just because he wanted a normal life, he was condemned. I was so sad when I heard the news of his death. My heart goes out to his children and his family.. If only he had of known how much he was loved.. I watched him grow up and get famous, he accomplished so much in his life. He should be honored for the good has done and for all that he has given to this world and to his fans. there will never be another like him. He is a god send. I will always remember him. He will live in our hearts forever. May he RIP, with his creator. Now he can find the peace he deserves. Love you Michael.

Jermaine, I am so proud of you for reminding everyone of the humanitarian efforts that your brother and my most favorite entertainer and a great person did for others. It is best for us all to remember that "servant" is what we need to be in this life, servant to mankind. Michael was that servant to others through his work with charities around the globe. I am positive that he is resting comfortably now. I pray that you and the Jackson family continue to show and tell Michael's children about how wonderful a person he was, how greatly he loved and cherished them, and what an amazing person he was. I will always have great respect for you and your family. May God bless you all.

Jermaine:

WE WILL BE THERE! I noticed that all of the songs you mentioned were the ones I always liked and played the most. My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family especially your mom...

Right on Jermaine. You are right he does have eternal life. Although when we leave this earth nothing here matters to us anymore, I'm sure he would appreciate what you do.Support is a beautiful thing.

Hi Malaika:
Nah

MICHAEL WILL LIVE ON IN MY HEART FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
jERMAINE, I WILL BE WATCHING YOU ON LARRY KING ON FRIDAY.

Malaika

Yes Larry has. I hope he does the right thing and ask only the questions we are posting.

Malaika:
I think he will; he knows the Jackson family–He was very respectful of Jermaine during the last interview.

I believe that Micheal was a good and kind person and I also believe that he did good for others. He seemed to me to be kind and very soft spoken when ever I heard him speak. I do believe that his goal in life was to make this a better place. I hope that other people will see that the poparotsie are hateful and just out to heart people. I believe that no matter how other people see Mr. Jackson I will always believe in the kind and giving person that he was. My heart go's out to Jermaine and the family as I know how your heart hurts when you lose a loved one. God bless them all.

Jermaine,
Michael was such a loving and caring person. I still can't believe he is gone. I pray too, that he is in a loving place where he can see how loved he is. Why did it have to end like this? Please keep speaking for him and look into what happened. I am so heartbroken, I still cry everday. My heartfelt condolences and prayers to you and your family and Michael's children.

Hi Jacquelyn

Hey Linda

Message me on the IM if you can

P.S. JERMAINE,

Can your family put together some type of "media" of ALL of the BROTHERS television/concert footage (s). There's a lot of bootlegging "via" the internet and: a) I want my finances to come/go to the JACKSON family b) I would like the quality that you all will give it and it's the "quilt" of my life [ I am the same age as 'TITO"].

Asalaam Alaikum
JDiane (los angeles)
I HAVE and will continue to "cry" and etcetera for the entirety of my life~~~hotep

Dear Larry
I read about jermain blog and I thought he talks on behalf of many and many Michael's fans who feel the same way. I rally believe Michael was able to touch people's heart and reach them by his music and his humanitarians even more than all these politicians from all around the world. I think many people will follow him and his messages in their every day life. I cried and cried when I was listening his OXFORD speech in 2001 on youtube. i wish all people have the chance to listen to this music. Looking forward to hear more from Jackson family and thanks you so much for providing us LKL which is the best product of CNN.
Your always fan,

mojgan

Michael didn’t care if his good deeds were published because he knew what Jesus said, being that your left hand should not do what your right hand is doing.

Jermaine, what a beautifully written piece about your brother, Michael. He was such an outstanding person who gave so much of himself to the world. Please do not let the negative statements from the media about Michael get you down. For us, the fans who love him and will continue to love him, we truly do not hear a word that they are saying. It is my true hope that the leaches and vultures in Michael's life are brought to justice. All the best to you and your family.

Dear Jermain

we love to see you and hear from you. Looking forward to see you.

I didn't hear Michael's message until he was gone, Jermaine. When I think of him now - his goofiness, his sweet giggle, his childlike antics - I smile. What strength that must have taken in a world that's so cynical! I'll be watching and learning as you carry on his genuine legacy. Thank you.

Jermaine, I wish you and your family peace during what I know is a difficult time. I have been a fan since childhood and the death of Michael still seems so surreal to me. But , I know he is in a better place. I will continue to pray for the entire family. God Bless

Greatness is a divine gift. It's something that cannot be explained, learned or even understood so people can become baffled. So, it understandable and also sad, that the media and others feel so compelled to find fault in Michael. But their constant coverage for more than 6 weeks now is a testiminent to his greatness.

"To whom much is given, much is required." And I believe that Michael was required to give so much of himself that he never had a chance to live what many would call a normal life. He gave so graciously to the entire world.

His luminosity will not be extinguished because his family and fans will keep his memory and legacy alive. Thank you for taking up the torch. God bless you and the entire family.

Jermaine, I want to thank you for sharing that nice story about your brother. It is good to hear a positive story and to learn about the humanitarian side of MJ that the media REUSES to show. You loved your brother very much and it is evident. I hope that you will be able to continue to follow in your brother's footsteps and help some of the charities that he was so generous to. This will definitely keep his legacy alive. God Bless you and your family. Your brother is GREATLY missed and is an inspiration to us on how to make the world a better place. Although this is a difficult time for you and your family, please remember the words of one of your brother's best songs, "YOu are NOT alone." Take care.

Jermaine, I wonder if you will guide some of the resources that might be available through the estate into conflict resolution and or developing strategies for peace in war-torn countries, where the children suffer so much. The Elders, including Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, have an organization doing such work; perhaps an MJ Foundation for Healing the World could work along side them on some projects. People from all over the world will volunteer to help and participate, because they loved your brother so much.

Linda

Jermaine:

Thank you for taking the time from your grief to perpetuate your dear brother Michael's memory. Michael's musical genius, his singing and performing were his "talent and career"...but his humanitarian efforts came from his heart and soul. He truly did care about other people and their pain and suffering..maybe because his pain and suffering were so deep within him. Through his humanitarian efforts he brought so much to the world and hopefully released some ofhis own pain. It is no mystery why he was revered by so many. Our hearts are hurting along with those of you and your family. May God provide you the strength and healing to go forth and spread the word in every corner of the earth. Peace be with you and yours always.

Jermaine...GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY RIGHT NOW! You have suffered a terrible loss, but I have to confess that I have "rediscovered Michael" only recently. I had forgotten his music and his causes over the last several years and soon realized I was TOO LATE to tell him of my devotion to the gifts God graced him with. I want to tell you a story...a friend of mine and I grew up with the "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" albums...after the allegations years ago she burned her albums! I told her at the time that she would REGRET THAT, and that SHE SHOULD TRY TO SEE HIS SIDE!!! I NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING IN MICHAEL...and I am taking this opportunity to tell you and your family. I was just a little girl growing up in a small Iowa community when I would walk downtown with my allowance to purchase your Jackson Family 45's!!! (Remember those?) That was so long ago...I am now 46! I still find myself transported to a different time and place when I hear any of those albums. Perhaps that is a good thing...because a reasonable intuitive artist knows that his music carries a message. Just for old times sake I purchased some of the early albums again to see the progression in Michael's life. I also have a blog and have attributed each July entry to the defense of the legacy of Michael and your family, as well as exploring issues that have been prominent in your lives. This was sort of a tribute to Michael. I have figured out recently how to use my movie maker program and taken stills of times in the Jacksons legacy set to songs appropriate for tribute to him. My daughter is a NEW Michael Jackson fan, (she is 16 years old) and she loves the tribute! I hope to finish the touches and put it on my blog. I AM PROUD TO SAY I AM A LONG TERM MICHAEL JACKSON FAN; but I am a fan of you and your family as well. Thank you for this opportunity CNN and Larry King for letting me share this with Jermaine. BLESSINGS & PEACE! NAMASTE MICHAEL.... JOAN

Jermaine, those are beautiful expressions of your brother.I am a teacher and I know a lot about giving and sharing of one's self. Please find comfort in knowing that your brother shared pieces of his soul in his music and with people that were touched by him physically and emotionally. The soul never dies. The energy that he shared will live on.His legacy was designed to outlive him.He was human, but his purpose was destined by the Designer of the universe (I call Him God), so the essence of your brother's being is multiplied and perpetuated as long as someone is alive to receive it.

Thank you for sharing the positive, loving side of Michael. People need to hear about these qualities and how Michael reached out to those in need by way of his compassion and charitable support.
Michael touched countless people in so many different ways throughout the years and his memory continues to live on. I know the world IS a better place because of him. He found his true calling-and that was to bring joy to people's souls through his music and at the same time help and educate others.
Jermaine my prayers and thoughts are with you and the Jackson family.
The world has truly lost a great human being.

correction: Jesus said that your left hand should not KNOW what your right hand is doing.

Okay, I must be dreaming. Finally - a Jermaine blog!

I think a great tribute to Michael's humanitarian legacy would to have a children's hospital name after him. We all know how much he loved children. I believe this would have been something he would have felt honoured by if he were still here.

To the Jackson family; I am sad about the loss of Michael. I have been a fan of his music and humantarian work most of my life. I can't imagine how hard it's been for you and Michael's children with the loss of such a wonderful man.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to hear that all of the positive things Michael did will be put in the spotlight finally. I have been hoping that this would come forward, since this, is truly what Michael was all about. He was a generous, beautiful, kind person. I really think his inner beauty was so apparent, be it through singing, or interviews. He was of course, undeniably, the most talented artist of all time as well.. I hope, that not only will the charities come forward, in appreciation, but, also all of the families, that benefited from Michael's generosity. I know he helped such a tremendous amount of people. I would love for some of these people to come forward and give Michael his much deserved praise. Michael was definately one of a kind, and will be deeply missed, by myself, and so many others from all over the world. Thank You Jermaine, for bringing this out, and Thank You Larry, for having him on your show. I'm sure you could do at least a weeks worth of shows detailing Michael's genorosity.

Hey Jacquelyn & Linda (from NY) - how are you tonight?

Jermaine, I admire you so much.I don't know how you have the strength to speak like that about Michael...your words brought tears to my eyes. We in Romania

Jermaine, thank you for sharing about your brother MJ. I saw in Michael exactly what you were writing about him. He had a tremendous love for the world and a big heart. Being about the same age as him, me and my husband have been following him all through the year and really admired him. It's been very hard to see him go. I can't imagine what iit is like for you and the rest of his family. I pray for you every day. Also God knows his heart. Now that he is gone I feel I want to continue the work he has started even more than before. I want to make a difference in the world and send out the love Michael has given us. I want you to know that he did not die in vain and there are people out here who saw Michael for who he was. God Bless!

Jermaine and the entire Jackson family,

We are still weeping with you over the loss of Michael and his brilliant, electric, and enduring talent, as well as his hugely philanthropic heart. You can count me in to continue to raise his glass and name and support your strong efforts to continue what you refer to as Michael's mission. Michael was and still is THE ART SPIRIT. The Art Spirit is like faith. It gives of itself constantly, whether through talent and selflessness, or whether through humanitariansim, of which your brother Michael is king. King of Pop, and King of Philanthropy. NEVER to be forgotten! Never.

I work towards that goal with you. Marian Haddad

Jermaine,
Thank you for those words. My prayers are with you and your family. I grieve with you and your family over the loss of beloved Michael, who was TRULY a gift from God. I have been having a hard time letting go of him, watching his videos over and over, reading about him and watching his interviews. I too have learned a lot about him that I never knew, regarding his spirituality and how he viewed his talent – as a gift from God and instrument to bless others. Despite his immense talent, he was always humble, always loving. Despite being bombarded by paparazzi and scores of fans, he never turned a fan away. When asked if he ever wanted to turn folks away, he maintained that although he is not saying he is Jesus, he wanted to be like Jesus (which is our job) who never turned people away. I'm saddened because there will never be anyone like him – an entertainer with superior natural talent combined humilty and a heart that is truly for people, not seeking any glory. However, I'm blessed that I lived my 28 years with such a person as a part of my life. He's with the father, who has no doubt bestowed the real crown upon him with those words, "Well done my good and faithful servant". Your brother's life should cause us all to reflect on what our gifts are and how we can use them to help others, as well as how to be more tolerant and compassionate. The negative press no longer angers me because just as Jesus was persecuted, so were his followers/disciples. Intelligent folks know who Michael really was...I'll love MJ forever.

Hi everyone!!:)

I am so happy to hear Jermaine. I have said on here many times that nobody knows Michael better than his mother and Jermaine. This is proof. Jermaine always stood up for Michael and defended everything that was thrown at his little brother. I cant think of anyone I'd rather see spreading his message and keeping his legacy alive other than Jermaine.
Jermaine, there are so many people that loved Michael for the man he was, and he left a permanent mark on our hearts. For those of us that got the privilege to grow up with him and watch what he did with his short life, I for one feel blessed. For those that didnt, I can only hope they will read about him in the future. He has earned a permanent place in our history.
For you and your family, Thank you for sharing such a beautiful soul with us . We will help you by making sure he is never forgotten. God Bless.

Michael was a true believer in God and anyone could see that by the things he did and the way he acted .

Jermaine, This world will NEVER be the same without Michael. It feels like the days are much darker than ever before. My deepest heart-felt sympathy for you and your family. Michael was so strong to deal with all he did in life. All those who loved him never believe all the lies they always tell about him, and still are telling. Be strong as best you can, and your drive to continue with Michael's goals of peace and love and caring for our earth are much appreciated and Michael would be so happy with that. Let's all remember Michael by loving each other, our children, and our planet as selflessly as he did. Michael, I cry for you everyday, and I pray you are in a peaceful place. We will truly always miss you. Best to the Jackson family.

Jermaine,

Very eloquent. I cannot believe the way the media is analyzing the precious video of Michael, Paris and Prince ad nauseum. Michael was a genius. His children were obviously raised in a loving home. Looking forward to seeing you on Larry Friday night, Jermaine. And Michael, if you can read this, from one animal-loving Virgo to another: I had a dog named Spanky, too!

This is the type of news that needs to be reported about Michael Jackson..enough of other allegations..
it is time to show the world,that the King of Pop was a kind and generous man..
I will definitely watch this interview..
this will be from a different angle..The King Of Pop will be missed..but his music lives on..

Hey Nicole.....guess who it is? YAY, finally!!!

Jermaine and the entire Jackson family,

We are still weeping with you over the loss of Michael and his brilliant, electric, and enduring talent, as well as his hugely philanthropic heart. You can count me in to continue to raise his name, and support your strong efforts to continue what you refer to as Michael's mission. Michael was and still is THE ART SPIRIT. The Art Spirit is like faith. It gives of itself constantly, whether through talent and selflessness, or whether through humanitariansim, of which your brother Michael is king. King of Pop, and King of Philanthropy. NEVER to be forgotten!

I work towards that goal with you. Marian Haddad

Michael has showed me on how to make the world a better place,help others, and to follow my dreams so thank you Michael.

thank you jermaine for all the loving stories you told us about michael... it is still so painful to think of live without michael, still seems so surreal to me.. i cant even imagine what you and your family are going through !!! michael was on loan to us, thank you god for such a wonderful gift.. and yes he is at peace, finally .thank you jermaine... WILL YOU BE THERE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS..i play the video everyday. the words tell the whole story....

I have to say, I was very ashamed of NG coverage tonight on Michael. She just cant get over some stuff.
But thank you Larry, for finally showing the good side of Michael. We new you would finally get tired of us and do what we asked. Thank you!!

Hey Toni! I know right! Girl, when I saw this blog, I was like...wow...(faint...gentle thud) ...then I realized I wasn't dreaming!

Larry, Thankyou so much for being you. Thankyou, for giving Jermain Jackson the chance and time to let the world now how beautiful Michael Jackson really was, in everyway. Jermaine, I'm sure Michael is looking down on you, thinking how proud he is of you. Larry, Thankyou again. I really enjoy your show.

Hey Nicole I am fine, Hi Toni

Hey dont forget to ask your questions to Jeramaine. And no questions regarding me and him ok

Thank you, Larry!! We (Toni, Lori, Jacquelyn ,lindafromnewyork & myself) have been blogging non-stop about Jermaine so much lately.!

I am elated, beyond measure, that the LKL staff created this blog!!! Yes!

Jermaine, we love you - and miss Michael more than words could ever express...

Amen Jermaine. These are the reasons why I was a fan of him because of his hummnatiy and how he gave hope to people through his humanitarian work and music. Man in the Mirror is the reason I became a fan, he gave me hope. God bless Jermaine, his children, the whole family, his true friends and fans.

And is true Mike did what Jesus said: that your left hand should not KNOW what your right hand is doing.

i'm glad jermaine is goin 2 continue 2 spread michael's message and as fans i noe we will 2

Long live the King of Pop

LOL Jacquelyn - you wish...yeah, keep on dreaming...

Jermaine,
Those are beautiful expressions of your brother.I am a teacher and know a lot about giving and sharing yourself. Please find comfort in knowing that your brother put so much of his soul in his music and with the people that were touched by him emotionally. The soul never. The energy that he shared will live on. His legacy was designed to outlive him because it was ordained of the Higher Power that I call God.Your brother was an instrument and he served his purpose well. The essence of his being has been multiplied and perpetuated with each ear that hears, eye that sees and heart that feels his energy. Just listen to any of his songs.We all carry a morsel of his spirit.

Thank you for sharing such a private sentiment.
God bless you and your family, especially his children.

thanks jermaine- always enjoy hearing directly from you , and look
forward to the new interview.. the fans want to hear what's going
on with theJackson family, & Michaels incredible legacy, and not
the endless unsubstantiated speculation we are being spoonfed

MJ was about people getting together on this fantastic planet Earth.

He never trashed people in the press.

peace!

I too am a fan of Michaels, his gifts were amazing and given by God. No one is perfect and I think Larry must ask the tough questions or it wouldn't be good reporting. The truth is Michael was human and he struggled with drug addiction. It may benefit many others to acknowledge this fact so we can learn from his struggle.

Hello Nicole and Toni - my gosh you got your wish! Now where is Lionel?

Dear Jermaine, I am so happy to see that you will be speaking again on Larry King and I am grateful that we have his show to spread truthful news about your brother. I too, as well as so many others am relieved that someone is stepping forward to put a damper on the negativity. Please never give up your effort to carry on Michael's work, and please I also think it is extremely important to eventually show that it was alwaya the media tjat amde everything Michael did seem extreme and weird. The media made him guilty when he was not. The media made it strange to have vitiligo as if Michael went to the Dermatologist and asked to get this disease to have a reason to bleach his skin. God surely did test his faith. So, Jermaine, especially for the sake of his children, keep up your mission and let us know how we can help.

Hey Lex - I see all the ladies are here tonight! Quite fitting!

I'm so excited about this blog, or can't you tell?

Lori - yes, I did get my wish! I'm still trippin'...can't believe they created not one, but two blogs on Jermaine. Wow...and thank you Lord!

Hey Nicole

Dont make me come throught this computer ok?

Thank you for this! Michael was an inspiration for me my entire life. I loved his music, his ability to dance, his message and his passion for life. I have every cd, dvd so on his birthday i will be donating to his Heal the World Foundation to keep his message alive and to honour him. God Bless you, your family and his beautiful children. Michael will always be in my heart!

hey nicole, as soon as i saw the blog i was like nicole is gonna faint

Whenever I think of Michael Jackskon, I think of Michael the humanitarian and then Michael, the entertainer. Michael Jackson without a doubt did well and did good. Michael truly cared about the human condition, and he never did anything half-way, always putting his whole heart into everything he did. I agree with Jermaine, and I'm glad he is emphasizing this side to Michael Jackson. If anyone has really listened to Michael over the years through his music, in all the interviews, and through his actions, one can easily see who Michael really was or I should say, is, because indeed, Michael lives on. If anyone has really paid attention to Michael, you know exactly what Jermaine is talking about. I have no doubt that Michael is with our Heavenly Father, that he's happy, and that he finally has the peace he deserved. My thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the Jackson family. You have my love and support.

Jermaine,

Thank you for such a beautiful, moving and peaceful article on your brother Michael. I appreciate you sharing this information – even though it made me cry. Your brother was blessed with so many gifts and had to suffer so many trials in his life to share those gifts. I only hope and pray that he gets the recognition he deserves for being more than a wonderful entertainer, but also such a great humanitarian. Thank you. I will continue to keep you, and your family in my prayers.

Just let us know how we can help, because it is sure thing that we will be there to do so.

Yes I was telling my baby Jermaine last night to go on Larry King. Watch he says my name on air.

i; m sure Larry will ask jermaine the right questions. He hasnt been on the air all these years because he asked the wrong questions. I think Michael Jackson was a very deep sensitive,caring person. Theres alot of people out there who will never understand it. How can they understand it when they dont feel it?

jermaine and the jackson family
I hope your family gets justice for your loss. I also hope that someone shuts up cherilyn lee. I have been a nurse for 19 years and have never seen such a violation of a persons HIPPA rights. I
hope your family seeks prosacution. Michael deserves better.

Jermaine, please accept our deepest condolence for the death of your brother, our beloved undisputed King of Pop. I am wondering if the Jackson brothers (and Janet) would organize a reunion concert in memory of th King. This will be great.

Nicole is happy. Larry must really care about us. Jermaine is a hero to come on the show on Friday. The blog will be wild that night.

Everytime I read a piece by someone who knew Michael it just warmth my heart. I've never had the chance to meet him but his death had an inpact in my life. I can't explain it. I feel like someone I knew closed to me passed on. It brought back memories of my childhood in Puerto Rico. All the milestones that he achieved I witness it. It was part of my generation. He WAS a generation. I grew up listening to his music. It was THE Soundtrack. I usually don't follow the non sense that the media print. He would have liked all this positive attention when he was alive, now he can't see that his lifetime efforts, his taken childhood to have fame has paid off. All the struggles he had to endure to be understood. I am sure he didn't think that his death will have such an inpact in the world. I will remember him as a part of my life when I was happy, that's why some of us mourn his death, because we know those good ol' days will never come back. It's like a part of my youth died with him.
Good to see that his family is doing something good with his name. I am sure he would have like that!

So many blogs...so little time.

If someone is hungry, give them food, but also help them become self-sufficient. thats so sathya baba...i truelly believe that...god bless MJ, and his family

Jacquelyn...now, now...I'm not gonna act a fool...Jermaine could be reading our posts. Otherwise, I'd tell you about yourself! (In other words, hands off...LOL

Let me make my disclaimer right here:
To everyone reading these posts, some of us are only joking with one another. We miss Michael a great deal...we've cried so much and, as a result, we keep our blogging about Michael on a light tip at times. Laughter also has healing power...

Jermaine,

Doesn't everything happen according to God's plan?

It may seem unfair that such a marvelous talent and a genuinely kind and caring heart has left this world too soon, but when you look back on history, you will see that his life's work paralel's that of many of the great human beings who have walked this earth. Nobody is perfect and we all have to answer to God for our mistakes, but as a musician who never owned any of Mike's records or those of the J5, his greatness – his talent -especially as a dancer – his uniqueness – its impossible to deny. Michael was hands down the best at what he did. Both as a performer and as a humanitarian. God bless him, you and your family and may he finally rest in peace. Amen.

heart to heart i feel a kindred connection with michael....to live a life with the belief that every thought we have is directly connected to the spiritual world...to wake up and start each day to do no harm. to know that there is more to us than the human experience. that there is no thing greater than an innocent love....that we all have our own set of horns and wings.......in the smallness of my life i never crossed paths with him....i did not follow his life until his death as there seemed such sadness in it but now i get it. his passions so deeply rooted like a great tree....... i think death is the path back to the light where we originate from. in that i know we may not think we know one another here in our diss-connectedness but we are one and he knew that to be true....what an awesome human he was and what an incredible angel of light he must now be........karen/*

Hi Jermaine,

What a beautiful tribute. I pray for your Mother and the entire family. I also want to say that I enjoyed the music of all the Jackson 5 family. You are all loved. The coroner, the lawyers, the feds, the police, the media and all who try to sweep his senseless death under the rug will be rewarded by God...(Romans 12:19). They indicted the man who was responsible for Anna Nicole Smith's death and they should do the same in this case...not just Murray, but Klien and all who took advantage of him and didn't care and continued medicating him with the prescription drugs and performing plastic surgery.

As someone else said, don't let up on them and let them get away with it because they think they have the powers that be on their side. God loves truth and nothing is impossible with him on our side. In the right time justice will be done.

I pray that you and your family will stand strong together and with the Lord, and in the midst of it all experience his peace.

Claudia

i think everyone should listen to the song 'the lost children' on mj's invincible album. i would always skip it and go to the other more fun songs. but tonight i was reading the lyrics (which he wrote) and it's about being concerned for the forgotten and missing children. i was really moved by that...cuz you never see anyone really care about the youth all over the world like michael did.

and jermaine, my name says it all! i'll always have michael's back! good job defending your bro. i also hope your family will fight the frivilous lawsuits of raymone bain, john landis and ola ray. pls. keep standing up for him and make it clear, to anyone else in the future, that he's not a doormat. pls. fight all these lawsuits and also that ian halperin guy.

fridays blog might be another all-nighter man ima need my red bull lol

Lex - girl, you have NO idea. When I came home a little while ago and turned the TV on LKL, I saw the info about an exclusive Jermaine blog on the bottom of the TV screen. I was like..."no Larry didn't!" And I'm GLAD he did!

One of the reasons WHY I LIKE LARRY...he tells the truth! He can recognize GOODNESS IN ANY PERSON...he has good people insight!!! Way to go LARRY!

I think that it is fitting that our rememberances of Michael are filled with both laughter and tears. Michael expressed so much emotion in his music and he had the gift to be able to make us feel the emotion as well. No one else has able to do that as sucessfully. I continue to feel that Michael did not receive as much credit as he deserved. I am so glad that Jermaine is going to make sure that Michael's charitable works are remembered

Thanks J. Jackson, for spreading the good things MJ did. He supported 39 different Charities and gave over 320 million dollars. Through his music he taught me that anything is possible, and made me look in the mirror, so that I could trry and make the World a better place. I am so glad that I lived during the Michael Jackson Era. He will live with me until the day I die, because in my heart I really believe that he wanted to help as many people, animals, and places as possible, and I feel in my spirit that all he really wanted in return was love. RIP MJ......

jermaine
the lord sent micheal here on a mission and he obediently served his time . it s a shame that it took his passing for people to recognize and respect his time served . i think i speak for a great number of people when i say though his physical being has left us , his spirit will be not only with us but with the generations yet to come . for his eternal spirit is everlasting may god god bless you and the rest of the jackson family.

haha it took larry long enough but we got wat we'ver been askin 4 a genuine guest

Jermaine,
I'm so thankful for your willingness to speak on your families behalf ! Regretfully, while he was living i took Michael's presence in the world for granted. But when he passed, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I've realized a great sense of loss. But I am also greatly inspired by all of his good works. Despite the vicious lies in the media, his loyal fans have posted so many touching moments in videos and rare interviews- and i've learned so much about the loving, funny, unique person Michael truly was! I want you to know that your work in letting the world know who Michael Jackson was, is already bearing fruit. Thank you so much!!! Your love for your brother is evident. You and your family can count on my prayers. Know that God is with you all.

Now that Larry answered our requests for this...

do you suppose he can get us the Joe Jackson, Leonard Rowe, Randy Philips and Frank DiLeo in person and face to face meeting?

Jermaine,
I sincerely extend to you, your family and Michael's children my heartfelt condolences on Michael's passing. Your mission is truly inspiring and honourable – just as Michael's mission was through his artistry. I loved many of Michael's songs but with the passing of time, a failure not to update my vinyls to cds and later the apathy towards Michael's masterpieces by some radio stations in refusing to play so much of his music, led me unforturnately until now, to not fully appreciate his work. I am simply gobsmacked by his countless works of art – such depth and versatility! Sadly I did not see him in concert. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and spreading the word of Michael's humanitarianism. Michael was such a kind and humble man in so many ways. You will always be in my heart, Michael.

Jermaine,

Wonderfull article and I am happy to hear that you have made it your mission to continue his work and to make sure that Michael gets the recognition and appreciation that he deserves. He did so many wonderful things for so many people and groups. He touched many lives in a positive way and the world needs to know about it.

Thank you and god bless you and all your family.

Nicole

Thank you for that disclaimer. I love it.

Yes, Nicole, because you know there are a few out there that don't understand us and the way we are processing our grief

lori if dat evr happened somebody might end up dead on the show so it could be via satilite 2 keep evrybody safe lol

Lori

Ohhhh, that would be something else.

Jacquelyn - girl, I had to do the disclaimer - you know someone would come on here reading our posts, and start bashing us - even though we know there's a "running inside joke" to keep things light.

Jermaine, thank you for bringing this to light. I believe that in this day and age so much is taken for granted. People have to go beyond the rhythm and beat of a song. Michael said," I don't sing anything I don't mean." I, personally, have been listening to the WORDS of Michael's songs and he was truly a prophet, a disciple. He was falsely accused and often crucified. A terrible burden to bear for a man with such a meek demeanor and giving heart. It seems that life has never been easy for Michael yet he continued with a generous heart. I am so sad that such a gifted man with so many God given talents never got to see all the lives he's touched and how many appreciate his being here with us. May God bless Michael and the entire Jackson family.

Yes, but as lex said, there might be more that Blood on the Dance Floor, in that case

Jermaine,
Thank you for this wonderful article about your brother Michael. I have always known that he was a very talent and generous human being. I like alot of other people never believed the negative press that he received. The world needs to hear about all the good done by Micheal, they need to hear about all the children who grew to love Michael ( one of whom is my nephew who just happened to be celebrating his birthday the day Michael died). We should all embrace the good things done by this amazing human being and the media shoud pay more attention to the good that was done by him and not the negative things that some would have you believe.
I like you come from a large family ( I am the 2nd of 9), I've not lost any of my siblings so I can't say that I know how you feel. I will say however that we do also have our disagreements, but at the end of the day we are united as a family. I hope that you and your family will soon be able to mourn Micheal and have time to grieve. All of you including the children need that so that you will be able to get on with your lives. We will continue to mourn Michael's death, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and the rest of the Jackson family.

Exactly, Lori. That's why I said what I did, to create a no-drama zone. It's Jermaine's blog, and I, for one, am not having drama of any kind...

It's took us too long to get this going!

maybe Jermaine will mention our names....

Jermaine: Your article was very moving regarding MJ. I wished you would have taken this platform while MJ was alive. Do you plan to follow MJ's footsteps and donate the proceeds you receive to charities?

This blog is the most uplifting and positive one there has been since Michael's death. It is good to focus on the positive, and there was so much that was POSITIVE about Michael.

thank God I,ve been praying that the world would get it ,Michael God bless his heart was a voice to his generation , God gave him gifts and talents and he devolped them with a spirit of excellance, Michael was a singing \ dancing prophet of the most high, prohets are not perfect people they are messagers with a message from on high, and every generation has always stoned those send to them , but you can never seperated the man from his message the two are one love God and your neigbor as yourself because God is Love and love is the solution to all are ills, the Lord said by their fruits you would know that they are his and you can give without loving but its impossiable to love without giving and the good works and deeds are his friuts and they shout loudly of what the motives of his heart pure this is what God is looking for Well done Michael come blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see GOD, get ready world grace and mercy are next on God messagers lips.

Michaels's legacy IS his message. He spoke once of his own desire for immortality. He achieved it. He has broken through the ultimate barrier and continues to "change the world." Forever! I hope you start a movement to realize his dream. "I'll be there".

Jermaine,

Thank you so very much, this is so inspiring that you honestly have no idea. The world can be a better place if we all do our part in making it a better place and learn from our experiences and what others experience. Michael was the most gifted and giving man that God ever brought to us and he did so much good and tried to change so much by reaching people in a way no other thought to.

God has a plan for everyone, not just for those successful, we just have to figure out what it is and do what God's purpose of that plan for us is.

I miss Michael daily and I think many others in this world do as well, and I do not think time passing is going to change that. There was no one as legendary as Michael Jackson and there never will be!!

I will keep you, your family and Michael's beautiful children in my prayers.

Exactly, Nicole. You know someone always have something to say.

Lori - I don't know about all of that. I'm just glad the blog has been created! My stomach's doing flips right now...

I cannot freakin believe some of those questions. How cruel and rude can some people be?????

HELLO

yeah when i saw there was no mj coverage on tonight's larry king, i almost changed the station and just in time caught larry saying a note about this blog. i've also left a question for jermaine.

Jermaine, thank you so much for these beautiful words about Michael. I am in tears. I pray for Michael's beautiful children and family. I am still deeply saddened by his death though I never meant or seen him. His music and lyrics is such a big inspiration. Lyrics only makes you a better person and human being. Michael will always be our hearts and prayers. We will support you. God bless you.

Well I am glad that you got this gift, Nicole

u think u could call in on friday 2 ask jermaine questions

I agree Toni – some of those questions were really innapropriate. But it is much more positive here.

Be back in a couple minutes, ladies. Now that we have this wonderful blog in place, I want to read Jermaine's perspective - so I can comment on it too! BRB.

I am so glad Jermaine has posted this up for Michael. And being that he did that I am sure he is reading the comments. So people, I am directing this to the rude posters so some respect, because I am sure you want people to do the same for you.

Hey Jermaine Michael touched the world and generations!!! I am 42yrs and have been a fan of Michaels since I was 15yrs of age and had MJ's poster on my bedroom door. My 22 year old daughter and I watched Michaels funeral and cried and cried. Watching so much media on MJ, my 4 year old son, and 3 year old grandson show us how they can moon walk! Michael is moonwalking with the angels now! Bless you all!

Me too, Lori - what a treat. I am truly in awe right now. BRB.

yea i read some o the questions and iwas like y would u ask dat bout his blog is alot better and happier

Lex

Sure we should be able to. I am going to call in, hopefully I dont get tongue tied again.

i have to say, it's nice reading a blog on the POSITIVE qualities on mj. i realize drugs and scandal make for good ratings, but it's nice to hear about all his charity work. i also heard of a case in l.a. a young boy's dad poured gasoline on him and burned him and michael paid his medical bills.

and when david ruffin [lead singer for the temptations] was found dead thrown on a street, michael was so moved he paid for david's funeral.

I agree with you regarding your brother's great heart and love for others. I was just wondering if he were still a practicing Jehovah Witness? I know he had a Xmas tree and celebrated Birthdays. You mention in this article about how you were raised. The last paragraph to your blog talks about your faith. I do not agree with The Jehovah Witness Organization and feel it is a "man made religion" and that the founder took the Holy Bible and interpreted it to his own understanding. Perhaps the founder felt gipped of his own childhood and perhaps didn't ever receive any Xmas presents or Bday presents. It is very sad that your Mother is taking his children to Kingdom Hall and filling their minds with lies and false prophecy. I was a huge fan of Michael Jackson, however, I am not a fan of the cult of Jehovah Witness!

I would be to shy to call.

#1mjfan

I love David Ruffin. I didnt know Michael did that, but I am not surprise, Michael was an amazing man.

I think we are all so excited because we actually have a part of Michael here at last. Thank you Jermaine, may be I can actually sleep tonight.
Hey girls, do you think Larrys blogs will crash Friday nite?
It is sooo nice to have some respectable guys on here sharing their condolences.

Nicole and Jacquelyn.......keep yor composure. I dont want to have to have to yell at you two.

i nvr knew michael paid 4 david's funeral...of. ourse u nvr hear of the good things michael did he defintely deserves the nobel price prize hands down

Thank you for showing the world who MJ really was. GOD bless him where ever he is. Never mind who hated him, GOD loves him because he's GOD'S creation. GOD loves everything He makes, he's only disappointed by the people who speaks ill of others or predicting outcomes on false accusations before hearing the truths. I watched court TV when MJ's trial was on, I know it was all about money that motivated these false accusations. I was really turned off by some of the court TV reporters, It doesn't take much when they are hungry for stories they'll fabricate anything just to keep their stories alive. In the case of Diane Diamond, this lady makes me sick. Even when I see her reporting on ET. she has nothing good to say about MJ. I'm telling you, her day of reckoning is coming. GOD bless the Jackson family.

I think that Friday night will make blog history! We will probably be up all night

Toni

I will keep it. I am doing all my hyperventilating right now. If it crash, I will be blogging on mines. I cant wait.

AMEN!

You know...I come on here thinking I knew so much about Michael, but after being on these blogs for so long, I have learned so much more { good things I mean}.

Did you all know too that Michael had asked Carr if he thought there was anything he{ Michael} could do to help get the journalists out of Korea?

Jermaine, I want to thank you for your wonderful article about Michael's humanitarian legacy. I wish you all the success to carry on Michael's work. I hope and pray you will stay in the forefront to keep Michaels fans informed, as we cannot depend upon the media.

I also would like you to know that my heart is broken into a million pieces over the death of Michael. I have spent the last 6 weeks since his death researching, reading, watching interviews, studying everything I can get my hands on, listening to the words of his music. I am totally crushed. Michael was so wronged in the media; they tried to strip him of all his dignity, and now his fans and family are left with who murdered Michael? Jermaine, please, for the love of God and the love of Michael, find out who killed our beloved and see that they are punished.
I pray every day for the Jackson family and the Michaels precious children. Please know that Michaels true fans never wavered in their belief in him.

Yes I had read that. And I thought about it when Bill Clinton brought those girls home that Michael had wanted to do that, too.

Thank you Jermaine for such a intimate and heartfelt blog about your brother, Michael and his charity work. We all miss him dearly and I know I want to continue keeping his name alive so others can be helped. We must continue the mission in MJ's name....I grew up listening to the Jackson 5, then Michael as a solo artist....he will always be close to my heart.

Thank you again, Jermaine, my heart breaks for you and your family. May you find some peace and comfort.

Of all nites my computer has to be slow. Hey Nicole, do you need a stiff drink tonite to settle you down a bit?? I dont smoke, and dont drink very often, but I could sure use both tonite. I am just so relieved to have a blog like this.

Hey Larry, has anybody thanked you yet?

yes jacquelyn, he did that. he was at the funeral with lisa marie (they were married at the time) when michael heard how he died and he considered david ruffin an idol of his, he offered to pay for his funeral. i don't know how much he spent, but when i read that i was very moved by that. i've heard of him doing that for other friends and family members.

even his atty. tom mesereau's sister who died of lung cancer, michael would give her tons of roses and write her very sweet poems. she passed away before michael was acquitted, but i remember mesereau telling larry king that.

Jermaine,
Your brother was truly a gift to all of us who were fortunate enough to be touched by his music ,and more importantly his message. He has inspired so many of us to make a difference and to open our hearts and to respect the light that is in us all. That we indeed are ALL ONE! He was a kind gentle beautiful soul, and will be sorely missed. God bless you and your family.
Love and Light,
Juli

I heard that as well. Oh Michael . No I wont get sad. Michael is still with us. Just because we cant see him. He is around guiding us.

Yes, lets all toast Larry for bringing us what we wanted and needed to hear. Thanks again Jermaine!

u think if Michael did bring the journalist bac 2 america the media would finally leave him alone and embrace evryhng good he has done and wat other person/celebrity has in thr will 2 leave money 2 charities michael is jus amazing

Okay. I've finished reading Jermaine's touching account.

To Jermaine - I am so sorry for your loss. I know you've heard this multiple times from so many people - but I truly and sincerely am saddened by Michael's sudden and unneccesary passing. Nine years ago, I lost my father rather suddenly. Less than two years ago, I lost my sister (and only sibling) to terminal cancer. I thought sudden death was horrible. Watching your blood sibling die a slow, painful death is enough to drive one mad. But thank God for Jesus. Both losses seem fresh at times. I've moved forward in my life, but I never, ever forget the pain.

The passing of a loved one is painful. I know. No matter how many people offer their sympathies, nothing can erase the emptiness you feel - nor will anything or anyone ever replace it. Some days, things will be moving along fine. And then it will hit you. And you will feel like it just happened that moment. Believe me, I know. I still feel it now regarding my loved ones. When Michael died, I thought to myself: at least he has a huge family to help one other through the rough patches. I didn't have that. And you will need that. You all will need each other now - more than ever before.

Again, I've said all of this to say that I am sorry for your loss. I love your family, and each and *every* one of you are in my prayers. I'm not just saying that. I know what this type of pain feels like. As long as we live, each person on this earth will feel this pain sooner or later, and it hurts. It hurts so bad. God bless you, and I love you.

With deepest sympathy and understanding,
Nicole S. from North Carolina

There is NOWAY Nicole would be able to talk if her call got accepted friday nite. She would be so tounge tied, it would be funny.

Ok, I'm back. Have y'all been talking junk about me?

Just that you'd be a big chicken and wouldn't call to talk to Jermaine

Thank you, Larry

Toni - when Laura Ling and Euna Lee touched down on American soil this morning, I thought about Michael. I said to myself, "Michael, they made it out of there." I know he would have been proud of that.

Lol, Lori.

Dear Jermaine,

You do not know me, but my name is Gold. I am Michael’s biggest admirer; I love Michael with my heart and soul. I thought I was not going to survive that horrible day, but since that day I have been praying that almighty Allah welcomes him into His Kingdom.
Jermaine, Michael’s journey’s just begun. Don't think of him as gone away, life holds so many facets, and this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away, and think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched, for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much; by me, by you, the whole world loved him, and you know that my heart breaks when I see you sob on the news, I thought I should at least drop you these words of encouragement. I have seen Michael a few times in my dreams and I know he has assumed his place as angel Michael, his white gloves are now his wings. I have always known that Michael was more than just an ordinary living human being. He told me he was a very stubborn person and that was the human in him, and he thinks you blame yourself for not doing more. That hurts him Jermain, because Michael knows how much you all loved him, especially you Jermaine. He said, you did everything you could, according to him. I do not know what he meant, but then it could just be my unconscious mind, but it was so real. I hope you see him in your dreams so you can see how at peace he feels and that he has assumed his position. He was an extra ordinary human being; now I know why. Do not be too hard on yourself, God has a reason why he allowed him home at this time and we can never question Jehovah. Remember that whatever you do Allah is watching over you and your lovely family. Salaam a lekum, may peace be with you. Please do extend my sincere sympathy to your ever strong and lovely mother, we all pray for her and love her very much.

Love you Jermaine. Take care and God bless you.
Gold

Toni - no, I don't drink. I'm drinking a cherry soda, that's strong enough for me! I thanked Larry when I signed on tonight. He is on the path to redeeming himself.

listen to his song 'the lost children' it's very moving. i mean, you don't hear or anyone really caring about sick and abandoned children. i can't believe the media would twist that into something negative. but i'm addicted to that song and also 'for all time' on the thriller 25 cd.

jermaine, i just wanna say, more and more people know what a good person michael was. i still remember you on larry king during the trial showing that booklet of charity works michael did. he never got credit for all of that. i'm glad you wrote this blog.

LOL Lori - you're probably right. I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of Jermaine!

@ Nicole: Toni — when Laura Ling and Euna Lee touched down on American soil this morning, I thought about Michael. I said to myself, “Michael, they made it out of there.” I know he would have been proud of that.

OMG, Nicole I did the exact same thing

Nicole, now I really feel stupid. Open mouth Insert foot. I am so sorry to hear that you went through that. I have never gotten over losing my parents. They didnt suffer alot, but losing any close loved one is difficult. I only have one sibling as well, a sister. She's all I have left and It terrifies me that I could lose her at any time.But I try to cherish each moment with her now, but I'm in Canada and she's in Illinois. We talk about 4 times a week, but only get to see each other 1 or 2 times a year.

Hey, did you all read my post to Jermaine? I hope I didn't babble on too much. I just had a lot to say!

Nicole, I'm just want to say sorry for your lost, and what you wrote was simply amazing.

did u guys see the mtv special michael jackson human nature

It would really be nice if someone would tell them that he wanted to help them before he died.

lex
When??

Nicole, it was beautiful. It is so hard to loose family members. My Aunt is battling cancer so I understand where you are coming form.

I be back later if y'all are still here

Thanks, Toni. Yes, I went through it. For a short time, I didn't think I was going to make it out of the pain I felt. But I have a strong spiritual base, so that prevented me from falling too deep in despair.

It's not easy, though. Especially in August. This is the month my sister passed away nearly two years ago now. The end of August is always difficult for me. This year it will be a bit worse, because it's also right around Michael's birthday. But they are both a better place - the RIGHT place. That gives me comfort.

Thanks again, Toni. You guys - I love y'all!!

Jermaine,
I cannot believe how much I am thinking of Michael, listening to his music, reading books about him and finding out what a wonderful human being he really was. Thank you and your family for sharing him with us all of this years. As said here many times, he was a gift and we will always treasure what he gave us.
Thank you and I will be watching on Friday.
God Bless,

I am a person who recently and sadly got reintroduced to Michael again through his music and dance. I grew up listening to him and loved his music. We were born in the same year and feel closer to his music now more than ever. I am touched by the humanitarian side of Michael and pleased to see people are now trying to see this side of him.
I would like to say thank you to Larry King for allowing us to speak to Jermaine. Keep up the good work Jermaine and let us know how we can keep his name alive through his charities.
Peace be with you and your family and know for certanity that Michael is at peace. The world had been given the gift of Michael and now its our turn to give back.

I'm sure we will Lori. Bye

Thank you, Jacquelyn. That means a lot. I hope my words will offer comfort to Jermaine. I know what it's like.

Lori - cancer is a cruel, cruel disease. I want to elaborate, but I'd better stop while I'm ahead. I've been using enough Kleenex tonight, just from reading Jermaine's words about Michael.

Same here Nicole!!

Bye, Lori. I'll probably be here for awhile tonight.

i think it was last weekend it wasonly ahalf hour but it was really great

LARRY

Thank you. Eventually someone starts talking about the true existence of MJ – a humanitarian. I always respect and love artists who have spent so much time, efforts and money on making the world a better place, and MJ is just one of the greatest.

Those detractors should be ashame of themselves, because all they have done are to spread prejudices, hatred and selfishness to this world.

Thank you Larry.

Have any of you read " 90 minutes in Heaven"? It's a wonderful book, and has really helped me deal with my parents deaths and now Michaels.

Thank You Jermaine for this wonderful and touching article. God bless you and family.

This thought came to my mind after reading this article. If the family or a MJ fan club can arrange a charity event like every year, maybe on Michael's birthday. Like a huge event all around the world on the same day, to raise money for charities. I'm sure I will be a part of it. Even though the media never gave much attention to the good things he did. Maybe we all can continue this as fans, as a memory of Michael.

yeah i recorded the human nature special. it spoke of his charity works how he improved the quality at a romanian orphanage.

See you later, Lori

Larry

If you could please communicate this to Jermaine Jackson.

That his brother process the quality and character that only few others have on this earth. The quality to "help his fellowman". This character of integrity and spirit has always been opposed by medicore minds quoted by Einstein himself.

I would like Jermaine, to carry on Michael's work of love and charity by continuing to promote Neverland. As a place, for terminally ill children to have thier wishes to come true. I would like to see Neverland restored for this purpose. Not ,all people understood Micheal, but, be sure, that some of his true and loving fans that did understand him very well.

Hi Jacquelyn

Does anyone remember hearing Dileo say last night that when he arrived at the hospital he made a remark to Randy Phillips "gee I think he's alive"?

I just don't understand why he would say that. Am I being paranoid thinking that they planned it and was surprised that he was still alive? I just don't get it. What does that mean?

I just checked the other blog. I cannot believe some of the cruel questions being asked. One even asked if Jermaine and Randy had kids by the same woman. Tell me Whos business is that!!!! I cant believe it.

Will you be takeing care of the ones your brother name in his trust? Is this what he wanted you to do for him,to carry on for him? I have always amired you and your brothers,You were the one who was always the well spoken one, All of you have a gift, I heard your mother speak the other day and it may me tear up, I know this is so hard on her, She was campared to Rose Kenndy and I so agree, Its tough being a wife,mother,grandmother and still keep it togarther the way she does. How Bless all of you are to have her. God be with you JJ and carry on with his grace,Peace be with you.

Jacquelyn, Where did everybody go?

I guess I'll have to wonder about it forever...

Mara - I have a problem with a lot of those people right about now. I don't even want to start myself talking about Randy Phillips and that bunch. Most of y'all know what I think of him and AEG Live. I'll leave it at that for now.

Okay...I'm calm...relax, relate, release, Nicole...

Just wondering if Jermaine or others had highlighted this wonderful aspect of Michael's character during his lifetime. It would have made his life happier than what I've been reading since his untimely death.

I'm still here, Toni!

im still here toni but barely lol

Hi Mara

Toni, I have no idea. I know I am slowing down because I am transferring files

Toni, who is the author of "90 Minutes of Heaven?"

Lex - you're not fading off to sleep on us, are you? LOL...

Whoosa Nicole, Whoosa

LOL okay, I just find it strange. The first thing I say when I arrive at a hospital is 'How is he?" not "gee I think he's still alive".
Okay relax...

tryin not 2 but im watchin grey's anatomy so i'm up now lol

Mara

Oh I know that Frankie meant. Those low down dirty people. My thing is, why would he say that when Michael was dead for hours. Well according to new reports by the paramedic. I feel like going to LA myself and solving this on my own.

i bet mjcso has a better chance at solving the case thn the dumbass LAPD

But he wasn't told that Michael was dead yet. The nurse didn't tell him he said it before all of that. That's why I find it suspect.

That comment has stayed on my mind since LKL's show last night.

Mara

I do too. I am so mad, its ashame.

Jermaine, thank you so much for your beautiful message. I spent my entire life defending Michael to all who doubted him, and I am holding his memory in my heart for the rest of my life and I am also determined to spread his message and legacy to everyone in the world till my last day on earth.....spreading his message of unity, love, peace and healing is the best way to keep his legacy alive forever.....

Jacquelyn - LOL...You ain't lyin'..."Whoosa" is right when the topic is Phillips and AEG.

besides wat DiLeo said wat elss is bothering me is who exactly told the kids thr father died and who drove thm 2 the hospital, maybe thy took a cab or somethng lol jk

Lol, Nicole. I know thats right

You know its official. AEG said 90% of the movie profits is going to the Jackson Family and they will only receive 10%. I hope they put it in writing with legit signatures. AEG knows Michael fans would boycott that movie when proven they was behind Michael's death.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of your brother. My heart goes out to your family. I never met MJ but also feel a tremendous loss, thats how much his music and dancing effects you. I feel really bad for his children and was appauled at all the gossip on TV/CNN about who the biological parents are. Please, the children are grieving, do they need to hear all this, too? I have listened to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson every since I can remember, being born in 1958 also. His music will live on forever and everyone is learning more about what a humanitarian he was. He devoted his whole life to entertaining and helping people. It was never about him, although he loved to entertain. Now, he can finally rest in peace! I hope people do take a page from his book of life and find that giving is a great reward.

Lol, Lex.

I'm beginning to believe that some of the people on the 2nd Jermaine blog (for Friday's questions) are just plain touched in the head.

I'm not posting over there anymore. You can tell when people have never experienced tragedy and anything traumatic– simply by the ignorant questions they ask.

They couldn't have been real fans of Michael's. The absurdity of the questions are not even in Michael's stratosphere.

Nicole
It's a true story by,Don Piper. He is a preacher that was pronounced dead at a car crash scene. He was coved up, and for (0 minutes the paramedics attended to other victims. During this time, he tells of going to heaven, and what he experienced there. It is a beautiful book, and gives you an insight into everlasting life, and what Gods purpose is for us. During the 90 minutes, another priest was praying over his dead body, when he started to feel a pulse. Piper was almost severed in half, so they could not believe he was still alive. But he tells that he did infact die and was returned by God. He goes on with a dreadful recovery, and never physically normal again, but God had already assured him. It is a very touching book and really helped me to know that my parents are in a beautiful place. Its a NY Times best seller and over 3million copies sold. It really brought me peace of mind.

Our thoughts and prayers to the Jackson family. THANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU Jermaine for continuing to let the world know what a great person your brother Michael was. And, SHAME ON THE COUNTLESS MEDIA OUTLETS for spending so much time, energy and $$$ on... digging for anything that's wrong or strange about an individual and not focusing on the good.

i think my question was wen was the last time jermaine saw or spoke 2 michael

Jermaine, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. I am so sorry for all of us as this is a terrible loss to the world. Please know we all love you and your family ! Thank you for all the happiness you all have given us. We mourn with you. I grew up a big fan of The Jackson 5 and am a lifelong fan of Michaels. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with all of us as it comforts me in some way. I can't imagine what you are going through. I am just devestated! Michael was such a wonderful person. I only wish the media would have let him know how much we the people admire him as the greatest entertainer ever and most importantly the humanitarian throughout the world that he was. May God bless you Jermaine and thank you for letting the world know what a kind and generous person Michael was.

Lex - girl, I'm not talking about a question like that. There are some accusatory questions posted over on that blog. Your question is an innocent one. Some of them are just mean!

Thanks, Toni. I'm going to check out that book.

Well....if ya'll want my opinion.....I'm gonna tell ya'll anyway.:) I think the children should have been with a sympathetic person until their grandmother arrived. Then everyone that was not family should have got the H_ _ _ out of the way, and let the family handle it all from there. And the hospital personnel had no right to tell anyone anything unless they were an imediate family member. Those children should have been taken to Katherine or any other family member the minute they walked in.
Oh God now I need to chill and take deep breaths too.

Jermaine,

Your thoughts about Michael were both eloquent, enlightening and profound. The naysayers of Michael's legacy are eclipsed by his Philanthropy and love for God and his children on earth. I've always
known how spiritual Michael was, and how in touch you are with that same cognitive mindset.

I will continue to pray for Michael and your family, and hope that the world will always bathe in his light. God bless.

Schani

Jermaine this was so touching.The world needs to know what a unique person Michael was so full of love and wanting to heal the world. Thanks for making sure his legacy lives on.
My condolences to your mom and dad, Paris, Prince,Blanket , your siblings and everyone who is a part of the Jackson family. You are forever in my prayers.

Thank you Jermaine!!! Thank you for pursuing what your brother's humanitarian efforts which "NONE" of the media made any mention of it. They "CLOSE" their camera when he did these things. In some parts of the world during his tour, he basically donated his proceeds and ending up "PERFORMING" for Charities. Of course he did others that we know, like the "We are the World" for Africa.

I hope FOX bill o'reilly (uncapped cause I have no more respect for him) will find out about MJ's charities and he be ashamed of himself because his small donations to few charities is very SMALL compared to the over $300M MJ donated + other unaccounted + MJ's TIME he spent and his involvement. o'reilly said " How can MJ sing We are the World and spend millions on his face?" He was finding something bad to say because he can't say MJ was guilty since he was aquitted. We understand what is behind MJ's doing his face/nose but others don't.We also know that those accusers were $driven. How can it be known also and emphasized that even Chandler, the 'boy" in 1993 is now apparently saying he lied...which we know of course. But these lies need to come in the open. We know these hurt MJ's heart when he was here on earth.

Yes, Yes, Yes...finally someone who gets Michael. Jermaine you knew him and got him. He wasn't about his entertainment he lived to help others. He was an angel on earth and is now an angel in heaven. We didn't appreciate him here so God took him back. I followed all he did for charity more than I followed all he did to entertain. I really don't know how I will continue on without him in this world but I do know that he was the kindest, most generous and deeply honest human being I have ever been exposed to. Please, please, please keep up his humanitarian work and let us all know how we too can help carry on his legacy through his charity work. I love and miss him more than you will ever know. He was and is my mentor for those who live a difficult life emotionally with high expectations. I want you to know that I got him, I know who and what he really was about and I will miss his spirit. Please help us all keep it alive by letting us help you carry on his legacy.

You know, when he said Michael called him and said he wasnt feeling well....it blows the theory out of the bag that Michael never woke up from the anesthesia.

Thank you, Jermaine!

I hope that Michael's charity, Heal the World, and the others he was supporting, continue to be contributed to; every portion of what Michael continues to earn, to go towards helping those he would have helped. As a consumer and as a fan, that would be really rewarding to know that our purchases of Michael Jackson merchandise would help those causes.

It is unfathomable what the world has lost, what his children, mother, family and friends have lost, when Michael died. But somehow we must trust God for the best in all this. No one can ever replace him. I pray for the truth and for justice to come out on all of this, and that Michael's death might help prevent needless death of others.

As amazing and extraordinary of a human being Michael was, we must also allow him to be human and, whilst not believing most of the garbage and slander out there, he was still just a person like any of us. It is by accepting the gift and grace of Jesus Christ, not by what we do or don't do, that we are blessed with eternal life, from the only One who can satisfy all our need for absolution and unconditional love.

I pray for Michael, his children, his family, his friends, his fans, and even his enemies....that they might see Jesus, the One who inspires us to heal the world through His message of unconditional love and eternal life. Michael's emulation of the innocence of children was a reflection of his understanding of Jesus' love in the Bible, and for that, Michael was needlessly mocked and persecuted. Let all of us see where we can be like Jesus, as Michael did.

Blessings to the Jackson family and especially his children.

Toni - that's what I don't quite understand about the events that transpired at the hospital.

When my father was pronounced dead at the hospital, the doctor and a grief counselor came into the waiting room. He specifically asked about the relationships of each of us in the room. He then addressed my sister and me directly with the news that our father didn't make it. I collapsed into my mother's lap, and neither she - nor the grief counselor - could console me.

I said that to make a point. The doctor usually tells immediate family members about the death. Not a nurse, and certainly not a non-family member. I don't care how chaotic things were. That should not have happened. If it did, it was just plain unprofessional on the hospital's part!

At the very least, Mrs. Jackson should have been the one to tell Michael's children. Not Frank DiLeo. And he should have had sense enough to know that it wasn't his PLACE to do such a thing!

I hope Jermaine gets alot of people to help protect Michael Jackson's legacy!! I remeber when Michael Jackson came to Stockton California and some crazy guy shot up over 20 children at the elementry school and MJ came to the school to donate!! I will never forget that!! What an awsome man he was!! I will NEVER forget that EVER!! and alot of people didn't know that because he did it in private not for attention!!ilove mj and miss him everyday!!music lives GOD OF MUSIC!!

Anita, what an eloquent sentiment. I couldn't agree more.

Jermaine-
AMEN BROTHER JERMAINE!
Funny i just had a conversation about being an artist with a collegue of mine. As an Actor myself I said exactly to him "what good is all this talent, if it cant be used for a higher good" The higher good to serve others, to educate, to heal, and most important to empower indidviduals to stand up and fight for the end of the injustices that are being done in this world. I share the same sentiments as you and your borther Michael do. If we are blessed to be given a platform to reach the youth and people by bringing awareness into this world then we have responsibility to that higher power to serve others through their own empowernent. there is an old chinese porverb that states
if you want to fix the world, you must first fix the state
If you want to fix the state, you must first fix the family
if you want to fix the family, you must first fix yourself

i live by this proverb everyday of my existence. With great power comes great responsibility which is something Michael truely understood and enveloped into his being. His life is eternal, and i know that he is surrounded by totel love and peace.
It is my plea that everyone honor Michael by carrying on his messages of love, compassion, and brotherhood by becoming those things withen ourselves. That is what i pray for every night, and i see this happening more and more around me everyday. We are waking up now to a new time of human counsciouness we can no longer afford to lose the lives of people everyday, to watch people go hungry on the streets everyday, to watch people suffer and not take a stand by changing who we are as humans.
I join you in your pursuit to fullfil this dream.This is our work here on earth

"In a world filled with despair we must still dare to dream, and in a world filled with distrust we must dare to believe" Michael Jackson

God Bless you and your family,
Andrea

Jermaine is so right. I hope that Michael's children will live with the morals and values that he instilled in them. Their father's death was senseless. I wish I personally knew him.

Beautifully written and well said. My heart aches for the loss of Michael, I will never get over it; but I am glad that Jermaine is still being a good big brother by carrying on Michael's good works.

Why did Frank Dileo wanted to tell the children before waiting for the relatives anyway? What was his agenda? I smell a rat.

Well said cc from flo. Michael took on the burden of having this huge gift from God. He did all the right things with this gift. Compared to much of today's music–his was very pure. No swearing, sleazy talk about women, or degrading language. His music was innocent, entertaining and inspiring. How often can you say that about a musician on the radio today? The coverage he is getting is a testament to the impact he had on the world.

Andrea - great minds must think alike. Wednesday morning, I posted that EXACT quote on my Twitter homepage...amazing...

(“In a world filled with despair we must still dare to dream, and in a world filled with distrust we must dare to believe” Michael Jackson)

I loved his Oxford speech. It was so very touching, and Michael's words are a testament to the core of his humanity.

whefd the hell was murray dat dileo had 2 call him wen michael said he wasnt feeling well..

now this is me thinkin but wat if murray gav michael propofol or w/e and michael didnt fully go under so wen mike called dileo and said he wasnt feeling well dat dileo told murray 2 finish him off (jus a theory guys)

Nicole
And to make it more confusing is that it was Michael Jackson, for heavens sake. You would have THOUGHT they would have been a little more discrete and careful. I dont get it and never will. And how were the children told? In a warm way or cold? I get angry just thinking about it. Those babies had to be scared out of their little minds. From what I can tell, there was no female around them at the hospital. And just how consoling can these men be that didnt even care about Michael? I get so angry and sickened just thinking about it.

This is a very cool posting site.

Jessica, I know what you mean. My mother is in her late 60's and doesn't listen to secular music - but when Michael died, it touched her to the core. Michael has that effect on people. My mother said that the world truly lost a special soul.

Anita
That was very touching.

Schani - we think so too. Don't you agree, ladies?

i bet dileo told thm in likd a sarcastic kind of way...thn left the hospital and called randy phillips and murray N evrybody so thy can all get thr stories straight

i wonder if ms. nanny grace really wants 2 come out and tell the truth but AEG is controllin her cuz she was w/ mj for a longtime and i trust dat she didnt stand ovr mj's bed and watch him sleep the women jus seems really nice and caring specially w/ the kids

God Bless we are the world, the children are our future and we do need to start with the one in the mirror. Michael . . suffered for trying to get his message across. Shame on anyone that played a role in this.

I am sure he is looking down on you smiling!

My sympathys for you and the rest of the family. My heart goes out to all the children in your family that have to deal with the evil words on the internet. With your family I am sure Michaels children will grow stronger and be well adjusted in the end.

May there be justice for MJJ in the end.

Hello Jermaine:

Bravo to you for educating the world on all of your brother's good deeds.
He was not only a brilliant artist, he was great humanitarian. Your work will continue to inspire others while keeping his message of world peace alive. As the world mourns his loss I'm sure that we can't begin know how deeply this has hurt you.I pray that you and your family will find strength and peace at this difficult time.

Michael Jackson was and always will be my joy. At 47 yrs old and all the stresses that come along in life, he was always there. No need for anxiety meds, shrinks etc. I just needed to hear that amazing voice and everything was right again. And then with to hear his voice and watch him dance all problems in life are gone. He is my PURE JOY!!!!! Everyone asks me. What about your kids or grandkids!? Of course they bring me joy. But what Michael brought me was a life time of support, enjoyment, pride, suspense, awareness, excitement, unity, happieness, and love. He loved us and we love him. God gave us humans a gift to help us ease this life we live, and that gift was Michael Jackson.

Hey Jermain.

Those were TRUE beautiful words. Michael was so much more than just musical talent. I believe that he was sent from God to show us how we should love and help one another and what we need to do to heal this world. Because Michael's heart was filled with love for all of us, those people who's heart is cold could not comprehend it. Evil does not like that which God ordains. They tried to break him, but Michael being the OAK tree that he is wouldn't break. Jermain in my heart I know Michael has his wings, and God has embrassed his son. I wish you and the family peace, love and many many blessings.

Jermaine, my heart is full and my prayers are with you and your family over the loss of Michael. I think about him everyday, as if he was membe of my family. I am so happy to hear the good things about your brother, and honor the wonderful, wonderful spirit your brother truly was!! I always felt he was not only a fantastic entertainer, but his spirit was pure and full of love for all – he was an angel on Earth who provided help in a profoundly unselfish way. God Bless you and your family. Please continue to keep Michael's true spirit in the news, and not let the sad tabloid news take over.

I heard that the children wont talk to grace and wants nothing to do with her.

Welcome Schani. We like it too. And Larry loves usToo, dont you Larry?

I KNOW WE QUESTION WHY HE WAS TAKEN AWAY...BUT DEATH IS NOT THE ENDING...JUST THE FIRST STEP INTO THE NEXT REALM...TO BE ABSENT OF THE BODY IS TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE KING...HE HAS COMPLETED HIS JOURNEY ON THIS EARTH AND STARTED A NEW ONE..AND IF WE LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE COMPASSION AND DOING GOOD DEEDS FOR OTHERS AS MICHEAL DID THERE IS A CHANCE OF SEEING HIM YET AGAIN...WHERE WE'LL NEVER HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE ! UNTIL THAT TIME WE AS FANS NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND TRY TO FINISH THE LEGACY HE HAS LEFT BEHIND...AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IT WAS NOT THE WAY HE DIED BUT THE WAY HE LIVED THAT DISTINGUISHED HIM FROM OTHERS. A FATHER , A SON, A BROTHER A FRIEND AND A WONDERFUL PERSON WITH A CHILD'S HEART !! AND WHEN YOU REMEMBER MICHEAL JACKSON DON'T FORGET TO SMILE EVEN THOUGH YOUR HEART IS BREAKING....LOVE AND PRAYERS TO HIS MOTHER AND FATHER AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY.SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR HIS CHILDREN....

oh thnx toni 4 saying dat cuz i didnt noe

Toni - the whole situation is bad - all the way around. There are too many people inserting themselves into what should be a private family matter. People have no sense of decorum - whatsoever!!

But one thing I know. Whenever coverage comes on about Mrs. Jackson, my mother really pays attention. She understands what it's like to lose a child, and says she cannot imagine having to go through that private ordeal in such a public manner.

That's why when we were listening to Mrs. Jackson last weekend on Geraldo, it tore us up all over again. No mother should have to go through what she's dealing with right now. Not to mention all of the sharks coming out of the woodwork.

We need to keep this blog upbeat and positive tonight for Jermaine so he knows just how much Michael meant to all of us.

Its extremely sad that Michael had to die for people to finally see him as the man he really was. .....The artist, singer, dancer, The King of Pop were only layers of him, take all that away he was a kind, caring, and gentle man. Although I may have never met Michael, I didn't have to know him personally or be his friend to know who he really was deep down inside......You can just tell........No one can do that much good, give out that much kindness and not really mean it or believe in it.......He meant it and he absolutely believed in it........All he wanted to do was Heal the World, help any cause in any way possible and share his brilliant talents with us. He gave out nothing but love and kindness but all that was returned was hate................All people talk about is the bad things and put out so many mean, hateful, and malicious rumors about Michael, especially the media. I understand it's the medias job to report all ends of the news, but Michael is dead, let him rest in peace, you people didn't give him the peace in life, let him have it in death...Is nothing off limits?............ What about the good??????? like the charity work he did and continues to due after death by giving 20% of his trust to charity, his record breaking music career, his children, his kindness, his love for every living thing on this earth, his caring for everyone and everything.... One thing I always live by is not to believe anything unless you were there or is said by the person it's rumored about, everything else is just hearsay. .......... It saddens me because I strongly believe that if he wasn't put in the "industry" at such a young age his life wouldn't have ended the way it did...He has never known a "normal" life, it was always Michael Jackson the superstar, not Michael Jackson the child, Michael Jackson the teenager, Michael Jackson the adult, or Michael Jackson the human. When does someone take a step back and realize he was first a human being and then all the other stuff just followed...........The most important title to him was FATHER and nobody was more important to him then his children .........R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON.................the man...............YOU ARE LOVED, MISSED, AND NEVER FORGOTTEN.................. Jermaine, I think its great you have this mission to continue spreading Michaels message..........I just hope it's for all the right reasons and not all the wrong reasons..................... One more thing I said it before and I'll say it again don't bury him at Neverland. He never wanted to go back there in life, so why would he want to go back there in death?

Hi Jermaine i would just like to say that i know Michael is proud of you for continuing his good work this year has been a tough year for me and my twin sister we are both very big fans of Michael. 2009 will be very very hard to forget with the passing of Michael on June 25th and my mother on July 18th the pain is doubled but in time i know it will get better so i will pray for your family and mine god bless you Jermaine stay strong.My mom and Michael are in a better place.

wat do u thibk geraldo is gonna be talkin bout this weekend...maybe if were lucky he'll hav jermaine on 2 lol

Pam - more wonderful words. So true...to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. One of my favorite scriptures.

Exactly Nicole. People have no respect. And they need to realize that Michael is the second child that Joe and Katherine lost. So this is not easy for them, and it will hit Katherine harder because she is the carrier and the nurturer. And to have to deal with all the bs, its crazy.

Larry, please let Jermaine see my email . I thank you for allowing us to talk to him.

Toni - if Jermaine doesn't know how much we loved Michael, he sure does now!

And girl, you know how I feel...no explanation required

Jacquelyn - I'm not a mother, but I have a mother. And it hurts me to see how much she hurts. My sister was only 39 when she died in 2007. She was also my mother's firstborn. Enough said about that.

I made it back...are you still here? There was such a lovely full moon tonight.

Nicole
I know. People still today, do not understand that Michael was her little baby boy before he was anything to any of us. And to have to still defend him from cruel evil people, especially now, after everything else she has to deal with, is cruel and a disgrace to his family, his children and to Michael himself.
Some of the questions being asked on the other blog are disgusting. But I think Jermaine has sense enough to blow it off. I think the whole family knows that Michael had more people that loved him, then people that didnt. And hopefully they can all focus on the positive energys.

This is such a nice positive blog – very healing. We will have plenty more opportunities later, I am sure, to get back to blogging about the darker side of things, but for right now, this is just the best thing for the MJCSI.

u can tell how mich michael loved his mother...i was watchin ET and thy showed this clip of mike serenading his mother and it made me cry mrs katherine jackson and joe did a great job at raising thr kids

Hey Lori! Welcome back, girl! I told you we'd still be here...LOL...

With a Jermaine blog now, I'm wide awake!

Michael was truly a gift. I am guilty of believing he had done bad things to children. I grew up listening to his music from the time I was 10 so when his trials were going on I could not watch because I didn't want to know if he was guilty. After his death I was watching the interview he did with Oprah in 93 and it was then I realized that there was no way he could have done anything to these children. Oprah has a way of pulling the good out in each person. I watched some of his home movies on the internet and saw how he would go and visit cancer patients especially the children. It is amazing at what a good heart he had. I wish the media could have showed more of that side of Michael Jackson. Every morning my kids and I listen to his music and my oldest 12 yrs. does the moonwalk with his one glove on. He will always be remembered. So glad you are speaking out Jermaine.

Yes I was pretty sure the all Jermaine blog would still be rolling. I am so impressed with Jermaine's writing skill. What a testiment to his brother. I just feel so much better; I hope that the Jackson's are feeling some peace as well.

Stacey
What you said was so nice, But Jermaine wanted Michael buried at Neverland. And ONLY Michaels family would have known his true feelings. So if Jermaine wanted him buried there, I'm sure there was a good reason. He shouldnt be made to feel guilty about something he wanted for his brother.

Toni - this is true. Jermaine is used to people making ignorant comments. It's just a shame that people don't have proper manners. Guess they didn't have good home-training in their formative years. I'm trying my best to rationalize it, because people can't be that dumb by natural occurence.

I guess no sleeping tonight

i hope evrybody is gonna watch the mtv vma's its basically a tribute 2 mj it should be good

Jermaine, you have just given your brother a "gift of love", expressed so sweetly. Thank you! Since Michael passed, and within my own life, I have really come to understand just how important "family" is. In my own family, I only have one (older) sister...who practically "raised me" since she was four and I was two. She was my "Mom"...and even though we are now both in our 60s, she still "acts" like that. But, I don't know what I would do without her.

I lived in LA for twenty-two years, and my only child has moved to Dallas, married a wonderful young man, and I'm expecting my "first" grandchild in February 2010! And, we just learned it will be a BOY!

I love the fact that 'family' has always been important to you...and Michael. I think his children have been blessed to have the father that God put into their lives. How precious it was, when Paris spoke of "her Daddy"...I was crying, with the rest of the world at that!

I will be anxious to see how you 'continue' Michael's good "works", you know God has a "purpose" for all of us. Don't turn for it if you feel "the calling" to continue doing the 'good' your brother started. God Bless.

Hello Jermaine
your words of wisdom really capture and descripted your beloved brother soul and spirit , for those who could not understand his personality and his character are people from different level , michael did made some verious mistakes and for that he paid with his life ,
but never the less michael wanted to hurt anyone but himself .
I am sure you Jermaine and your beloved family did all to help .
I applaud your love for your brother and we his fans know for sure exactly what you are talking about and his legacy will live forever as the king of pop of all time no one will ever take away the king's throne
because that throne was created for our Michael . .
I really hope that the world appreciated Michael's talent & generosity and learned from it , personality I love him and his musics , for sure he was a pure and very trusting person and his sensitivity captured good and also attracted bad people around him that took him or granted and betrayed him very bad .
Jermaine it is yours and your family moral obligation to spread to the world Michale's legacy and visions , be proud of him and stand tall for you to be Michael's brother , may God keep his children safe and be surrounded by love and protection .

Jermain,

I am so glad, that you are going to spread Michael's mission, I do believe that he is a miracle from God/Allah, he was an inspiration to many people. I am going to miss him very much, i grew up dancing and singing to all the Jackson 5 music, then Michael's. On another note, I am so glad that your mom got custody of his children, it would have been a disaster to give them to a women who they did not know very well, and who did not really want them, I don't care what anyone said, I believe that she only agreed to have his children to get her hands on his millions, and it is a shame that he was so giving, that he gave her that much money, most mothers would never agree to give away her children for no amount of money (what does that say for her morals). I wish that people would also, consider the feelings of Mr and Mrs Jackson, this is the 2nd child that they lost and there hearts are broken. Jermain i must tell you that I watched the memorial service, and when you sang SMILE, you brought me to my knees, it was so beautiful and heart renching, I was amazed how you held it together, and found the strength to pull it off, my heart goes out to you and your family.

I had forgotten until now, but because we have YouTube, I re-discovered Michael's Pepsi commercial series. We had moved to a different state; I didn't know anyone, and we were down to one car, so I was home alone with my daughter. She fell in love with Michael on those commercials and insisted we watch every time one was on. I can't believe I had forgotten that. When we spoke today I asked her if she remembered that time, and of course, she said yes. I had to go find her baby book so I could see what I wrote. We lived near the med center and she always wanted to go to the helipad because she thought Michael was there.

lex
I saw that too. It was his moms birthdat. He sang " For the goodtimes". Very sweet.

Hi Lori. Welcome back. Nicole is riding on top of cloud 9 tonight. We're making sure she doesnt float away. MJCSI on lookout tonight!!

lex
When are the MTV awards?

Thank you for continuing to bring out the wonderful things that Michael did. Hopefully when people look back on his life they will remember him for his talent and his love for the earth and for the children. Looking back on ALL of his interviews from when he was very young (still a child himself), he mentioned his love for and inspiration that he got from children. This never changed. I'm hopeful that new projects can be created to help the environment and the children around the world in his name. I know he wanted to live forever and this would help make that happen. Worldwide their are children who are victims of famine and war, his legacy could be in helping them and creating the "magic" for others. God Bless and may Michael have the peace in the afterlife that he wasn't able to find in this one.

u noe wats ironic bout the pepsi commericials my momtold me dat michael nvr drank soda so idk i thought day was weird and thn his hair catches on fire i think it was planned but not cuz he didnt drink soda

Lori - I also hope they are feeling some peace. I know one thing - it does not happen right away. People grieve in stages. My sister went through hospice at the end of her life, and a grief counselor contacted me and my mother for more than a year after she died.

Grief is a process, and the Jacksons have to be allowed the space to begin the healing process. From experience, I know that there is not a timetable, and you can't place one on it. Some people deal with the loss in different ways.

I know that the best thing for me was, when the memories flood in, just cry. Get it out - all of it. The tears are a purification of sorts...it helps. Get in a space by yourself, where you can cry as much as you need it, for as long as it takes. Not just right now. For months, and even a few years intermittently. Each person's experience is different.

I haven't talked about this to anybody in a long time. Now I'm sharing it with all of you. I guess I'm growing, which is a positive sign.

Someone should hav asked Jermaine if he was going to have a website soon, so we know what he is doing through his mission to carry on Michaels legacy.

I know. Larry King must really care about the people who blog here. But of all the stuff that has been posted since Michael died, this has been the most soothing one.

Lori - she wanted to go to the helipad? Oh my goodness...now that is TOO cute!!

Well if Jermaine had a website with a blog, I guess we'd all meet over there as well....

Hey Toni - you're right - I'm am SO on cloud nine tonight!

Nicole
As much as I hate to say it, I dont think this family will ever get that peace and privacy to grieve. I just thank God that they are sheltering Michaels kids from it all.

Jacquelyn, I've already started downing the caffiene.

u should save the coffee 4 friday dats defintly gonna be goin all night

If Jermaine had a website.....Nicole would live there!!

We'll listen anytime you need to talk Nicole! "We'll Be There"!!

Lol, Toni. What I want is a drink but cant have one. . No worries will on friday night though.:)

Oh y'all - I almost forgot! I don't know if Jermaine reads his tweets, but I sent him one from my Twitter account Wednesday morning.

I had no idea that Larry was doing these blogs then. Anyway, in my tweet, I told Jermaine that I looked forward to Friday's interview, and that a group of us talk about him a lot on the LKL blog.

I know Don Lemon follows my tweets, so who knows?

She did AND when her little brother was born she was disapointed at first. She thought she was getting Michael. It's a good thing I wrote that it the baby book. I cannot believe I would have ever forgotten that.

Nicole would never sleep

Hi Jermaine,

Thank you for sharing your brother and for allowing me to know him a little better. Michael was such a fragile soul, and I could always understand where he was coming from. His childlike attitude was so well childlike. Such a great loss!!! I'm constantly praying for the family and for others who despite their celebrity status, are living very unhappy lives. Although I can't pray for Michael per se, I'm in constant prayer asking God to have Mercy on his soul Michael was a great father, the home videos say it all. I'm still crying over his untimely passing, I pray that God grant you all courage, fortitude, faith, and peace. I also pray for Michel's children and all the children who may be facing such difficult time. God bless you all and, His Hands are upon you always.
Stay strong, Jermaine for you and for your family. Most of all, stay strong for the kids, Everything will work itself out in the long run; it always does. The only regret I have is that I did not know him personally, or see him at one of his concerts. Keep the torch lit, all of you!!!

I have not figured out Twitter. Is it sort of like IM? I did not figure that out. But I am proud to say I learned how to send text messages on my phone! I had to, otherwise I don't think I would have ever heard from my son when he was in the military. Kids text – they don't call much.

My condolences to the Jackson family and to all us fans for the loss of Michael Jackson.

As an avid and loving fan, I was honoured to have met the late Michael in my country Oman in 2006 and spent quality time talking with him on several occasions.

He came across as a very learned man, full of knowledge and appreciative of all worldly things. He told me that he loved to read quotes and sayings from all parts of the world hence I got him a book on Arabic sayings (with english translation), which he then told me he would pick and use in his songs.

To portray his love of the world and its people, could you please Mr Jermaine Jackson ensure that when a library is ever commisioned that you would encompass this particular aspect of him, his love of world poetry. Thank you.

Oh, you guys are the bestest!!!

Remember that term, Angelica from that Nickelodeon cartoon about those babies. LOL!

wow I just checked out the other blog, I can't believe those questions they want Jermaine to answer. I hope he just ignores them all and talks to us on Friday.

I started on twitter and had no freakin idea what I was doing. All of a sudden I'm getting all these emails from people that I had no clue who they were, wanting to follow me. I'm thinking "what the hell". So I have never been back on. I had no idea what I was doing. :/

Lori - I'm still figuring out Twitter myself. I'm getting the hang of it now, though. It's more of a 'live' blog, where you can connect via the web or configure to your cell phone. You have to be careful what you say, because anybody can follow your tweets, unless you block your thread from the public. Some celebrities choose that option.

Anyway, I don't know if Jermaine read my tweet. Oh well!

Jermaine, 1st thing, don't think Michael is hated by many,he's hated by few and Loved by many.I would e-mail news programs when they would lie about your brother,dad etc. I would correct them about the lie that Joe Jackson said the Jackson3,I watched the show so I know that was a lie. As far as the media calling your dad an abuser,well there's allot of abuser's out there included my parents and myself. I was brought up getting whoppings and everyone on my street got the same.
My parents had 6 kids and we all turn out great. I watched the media rip people apart for ratings. I wonder what kind of abuse did they experience ,to be so mean-spirited as to kick a family down when there grieving. They even talked about Mrs Jackson being old (she may out live them). Allot of these talk show hosts have more trash in there lives and there family's lives till they should be scared the truth will come out about them,and they will be the topic with the new cycle.
Jermaine theirs 2 thing I wish you would say on Larry King.
1. Michael used prescription drugs for pain before the addition/millions of people suffer with additions that started out by pain medications given by there doctor. Its a national epidemic that needs to be discussed.
2.Clear up that Joe whooped all of you not beat you. He did like millions & millions of Americans do. Michael said that at a young man listening to crappy people who wanted nothing but trouble. Michael was more mad a Joe for the way he treated Katheryn. I know that was the case with me and my parents. Thank God I was not being influence by others like Michael was. So Jermaine hold your head up,99 percent of the people love Michael and the Jackson family.

LOL Lori - I was the same way. I only have a handful of followers. I prefer it that way too. I would give y'all my Twitter site URL, but it might fall into the wrong hands on here. I don't want to start getting tweets from the haters.

Lori
We can only hope that Jermaine has a sense of humor to some of the stupid disgusting questions that are asked, and concentrates on the nice ones that show more compassion.

Jermaine,

Thank you so much for writing this blog. I am still grieving to this day about your brother's passing. I've been a fan of his since I was 6 or possibly earlier than that, and am convinced we knew each other in another lifetime. I am currently 30 years of age, and I've been contemplating ways I could carry on his legacy also. I think it's a great thing you're doing. May God bless.

Yes. You have to be very carful with your personal information and you never know who will turn into a hater.

Lori - I saw on the other blog where some dimwit asked him about demerol.

I mean, really...like I said, no home training whatsoever!

We can only hope Jermaine has a sense of humor over the way you girls fight over him. What if he read THAT blog! LOL

I Know. How can we ever give each other information to stay in touch? Cause we sure cant give it out here. Any suggestions? We cant lose our MJCSI buddies.

It make one realize how well Katherine and Joseph Jackson raised their children. Geez it is really embarrasing over there.

If Jermaine begins tearing up on Friday's show, I will be absolutely inconsolable. That I do know.

I know I was thinking the same thing! I don't know if there is a safe way. We will have to ponder on that topic.

I am pondering. Do you think it would be tacky if I just take a cake to our family reunion this weeked that says "Congratulations on Your Engagement!", rather than trying to have some big party? Everyone will be in town and my family is pretty casual. It's for my daughter. I think my relatives would catch on.

Lori, I'm sure he would be flattered.Who wouldnt be happy to have 5 girls fighting Nicole for him?

OK. Midnight munchies...gotta go get my icecream. BRB

I know. If he has tears I will be a goner. As it is now you just never know when it will sneak up on you. But it always seems worse when the guys start crying - oh gosh that is hard.

wen jermaine did the inside neverland w/ the guy on nbc( i jus 4got his name) i was tear eyed the whole time

Yes but he will find out I was willing to take Lionel rather than fight for him.

Lori - if Jermaine read THAT blog (especially the posts from last weekend), then I will be...ummm...thoroughly embarrassed...ROFL...

(Although I really did mean every word of it.)

I like it when the blog is peaceful and it is just our bunch on here

the haters cnt stay up long

Lori - I don't know...that might be just a tad bit tacky...do you have a Plan B?

Hi, I'm back. Miss me?

Toni - ROFL - my God, it is five of them fighting me about him? Oh Lord...I didn't realize the count was that high... Let me stop.

your brother is the best and very special for me and for other. I still cry thinking about him and I still praying for him.
I just don't want him to be forgotten. We love him

How do you do you do this twitter, I am twittering but what else?

Lex - you're talking about the interview Jermaine did with Matt Lauer?

yup matt lauer i forget his nams as soonas i was typin

Lol, Nicole

Jacquelyn, you just tweet whatever's on your mind. A lot of times, no one will respond...LOL...it's kind of silly in that way...

A tweet from Janet showed up on my Twitter page the other day. It was just a simple message, but good to hear from her for the first time since everything happened. She was just thanking everyone for their love and support.

I think what will be the hardest, is knowing that this isnt some gossipy 15 minutes of famer, or "source". I'ts Michaels own flesh and blood, and we know we are going to feel every bit of hurt with him. I'ts almost scary, because we know it's going to happen. So buy the extra kleenex, lock the kids out of the room, and enjoy the hour of TRUTH for a change!!

i only hav a twitter so i can see wat stupid stuff shaq says lol

Jermaine's comments about his brother, Michael, are nothing short of inspirational. Mrs. Jackson did something right with her children to have raised such wonderful men, like Michael and Jermaine, who care so much about our world and man-kind in general. Jermaine was right, when he said previously that Michael was a gift from God that we did not treat as such. God has subsequently taken Michael home. He is finally at peace, something he wished for everyone. I believe in my heart that Michael knows how much he is missed, he is no longer in pain, he is well rested and he is watching over his children and the family that he loved so much. I think that it would bring him great joy to see that his brother is letting the world know what an amazingly selfless individual he really was. There are few people in this world that get to change the world the way Michael did, no matter how long they live. His presence on this earth did "make this world a better place" and what a legacy to leave for his children, his family and his millions of fans to remember him by. Michael's loss leaves such a large void in many lives but it does bring a smile my face to hear his brother speak so eloquently on his behalf. After all, that is what family is all about. God bless you Jermaine in your new endeavers and best wishes to the children and the whole family.

Man this ice cream is yummy. Can you all believe its almost only been us for the past hour? And when someone does come on, its been very sweet comments.

Plan B is the big, "official" party my X and his spouse are throwing, on of all days, Aug 29. We all get along ok, so it won't be too awful, but I am pretty casual and they are kind of society.

I ran it by my DD, and she thought it would be un-traditional and fun, they have been dating for a couple of years and the wedding is not until 2011, so I figured I'd do something fancy shmancy when it gets closer. It's just letting all the family know what's in store. I guess I could make an announcment after the prayer, but I am afraid I'd get trampled in the rush for the food.

In the meantime I need to find myself some drop dead gorgeous guy who can dance to escort me to the wedding.

So....how did Janet show up on your twitter? And what do you do about all these people wanting to follow you?

Lex - LOL - I think Shaq and his wife, Shaunie are both on Twitter. Shaunie had a car accident a while back, and I heard she was tweeting about the accident. Go figure. If I was in a freakin' accident, the last thing I'd be doing is tweeting my followers. I'd be too busy thanking I'm still alive and in one piece.

I hope people will be nice on Friday.

It's kind of strange not having someone to argue with tonite. Strange, but nice.

like durinv halftime players tweet its like wheres ur coach and y whould u tweet rite after a car accident ppl these days

toni dng jinx it cuz dat stupid carrie grl mght show up lol

Michael will be missed by everyone around the world regardless of race religion or creed. He was God's gift to us, a true hero walking among our midst. We will truly miss you Michael, untill we meet again in heaven to sing and dance in the presence of the Creator.

I think she was on the other blog

LOL Lori –then that might be okay. If they're hoity-toity society types, you may have a slight problem. You don't want anything talking mess about you...if you bring a hunk to the party, they'll probably do that anyway. Give 'em something to really flap their gums about!

Jacquelyn are you still awake? What timeline is everyone? Hey Nicole, I lived in Havelock and Raleigh for 21/2 years with my ex-husband. Loved it. I liked Havelock alot better.

Toni, I subscribed to receive her tweets. She hadn't made any, so I was shocked when she sent one out.

As for the few people that follow me, I just let them. Except for Don Lemon, I don't know who the other ones are anyway....LOL!

Jermaine;

With ALL due respect, I'd like to mention that I agree with your sister Latoya, that Michael was murdered, and that this Diprivan/manslaughter stuff is all just a very elaborate coverup.

I'm trying to help awaken Michael's fans to the truth, and have written a song called "St. Michael" – about the murder of Michael Jackson. You can hear/download it at:

myspace.com/michaelwasmurdered

...or mail me at:

mark5fox@yahoo.com

Yours in grief,

Mark Fox

im in jersey and its 240 yawn

I think Jacquelyn left a long time ago. She'll probably be checking in and posting from work in the morning.

I will just have to suffer through the party at the X's on my own. But I will find a guy for the wedding. And I will learn to dance. Good thing I have some time! I wonder if Lionel will be available?

Oh my God Lori, What question did she ask? I bet anything it was about Michaels kids. She is obsessed with that. Lori and Lex, she actually called Michael a racist because he only wanted wht kids and wanted to be wht too. Linda and I told her what we thought.

Toni - Raleigh is a really nice area. I live about three hours east of there.

I can't beleive how late you girls on the opposite side of the country stay up. how do you get up in the morning?

Lex, we're in the same Eastern time zone...and I am wide awake. I get like this sometimes.

I heard. I saw. You defended.

Lori, I manage somehow. I don't require a lot of sleep. I can function with a couple of hours, give or take. Unfortunately, I have it down to a science.

I am OK if I get 6 hours but 8 is better

I didnt see Carrie on there, but susan and Pat are asking terrible questions. They're like 5 yr olds over there. God help them if something like this ever happens in their family. There are some really sick people in this world.

Toni and Lori - I read that! Who is that person? Her comments are really nasty.

I know Jacquelyn got into it with someone Wednesday afternoon on one of the other blogs. I was online briefly, and it was heated. Someone was saying some really ugly things about Michael. Just uncalled for.

What do you guys make of Bratton announcing his retirement? Says he's going to work for a global security company in Virginia. Do you suppose that is Blackwater?

I know that Tuesday night, I just shut my laptop down without saying goodnight to anyone. I was so disgusted at the ignorant things people were posting about Michael. That junk gets really old.

Who's retiring??

Nicole, so how do you subsrcibe to get on someones twitter ?

I am from Barbados, where mj is well love, the radio stations even paid tribute to him. My family and i miss him very much and will continue to miss mj every day that pass.Our hearts go out to tne children and the Jackson family, may god bless all of you and keep you safe. Gone but not forgotten mj will always live on in our hearts and through his music. love you all.

The LA PD Chief the one we've been waiting to return from vacation. Today he announced he was leaving effectice 10/31. Apparently it came out of the blue and no one was expecting it.

Just go to twitter.com and create an account, if you don't already have one. You can do a name search to see if someone has an account. If they're the person you're looking for, you can subscribe to follow their tweets. They have a tutorial on there if you don't understand how to use it. It's fun once you get the hang of it, though. I just don't put all my personal business in the street, if you know what I mean.

But you know Nicole, I just keep thinking...To every 10 people that dont like Michael, there are 100 that love him. If you look at it that way, we win.

Thank you,Jermaine for sharing this with us. Michael is an altruistic person,and a remarkable artist. I believe our life has a purpose and Michael clearly has done many wonderful works to serve his life purpose.I truly admire Michael so much for his well human being. Abandoned by his fame and popularity did not make him deflect on other people.He was lauded and ignominious by medias.How ridicule his life was being portrayed by medias. Every steps in his life were scrutinized, and none were true. How much more could a man take to endure this agony and pain?Despite all of those, I will always remember Michael for his extraordinary talent and humanitarian. Michael is finally set free from this world and be at eternal place in Heaven with God
Thank you so much Michael for all the joy, love,art, and everything you could possibly bring to us. For you will always be in my heart

Oh really? It's amazing to me how people get promoted off of someone else's tragedy. A lot of lawyers have those TV jobs because of the OJ era. (Ex: Jim Moret, Marcia Clark, Greta van Susteren, Nancy Dis-Grace, Star Jones, Jeffrey Toobin, and the list goes on!)

And for that matter, what are the Republicans doing now, except trying to kill health care for the poor, who need it the most. They are bought and paid for by big insurance, and the Blue Dog democrats also. Don't buy the GOP lies, , we can't all afford a private MD like Michael did.

Oh, one more lawyer I left out: Gloria Allred. The one who harasses Nadya Suleman about her 14 kids. That is one evil heffa. She did the same thing to Michael. That chick is wicked.

(blank stare)

I think I'm going to call it a night and read a little bit. I'm sure we'll have some losers tomorrow to contend with. Now we dont have just Michael to defend and protect, we now have Jermaine to defend and protect too. Man this job is getting tougher. And dont forget Mrs. J.
Geez, we better rest up. Tomorrow may be a long one.
Nite Nite friends, see you tomorrow. Sweet dreams.

God bless Jermaine
Love you Michael

I don't like lawyers that become tv personalities. it seems like it should be an ethics violation or something. and where do they all go to learn the "voice". it makes me nuts.

Ok, Toni. I'll talk to you tomorrow evening!

Lori, are you leaving too?

Nicole I am going to save my strength for Friday. Of course, I will be checking in as usual quite often!

Yes. Sorry. Unless you really want me to stay – I might be good for another 15 minutes

I know. I'm ready to turn in too! Talk to you soon!!

The big story today is how a great President, rescued two citizens. Kudos to President Clinton!

Right on Jermaine. I believe all this about your brother too. In all the interviews of him that I have seen, I could not imagine anyone thinking that Michael could ever hurt anyone. We are really very sorry that all of this has happened. Michael was a wonderful, caring, and loving person. My granddaughter said it all when the media was telling us about the pepsi accident. She being 10 turned to me and said, Mamal nobody has to worry about Michael anymore. He has met the person that loved him the most, Jesus. He is home where there is no more pain or suffering. We love him to Jermaine. The hard part for us is the missing him. I can't even imagine what you all are going through but I am praying for all of you. Michael was definitely a gift to all of us, and we thank Him for that gift.

I have been a fan since the beginning of the J5. Michael's fans already know of his goodness in this world when he was with us. His humanitarian services were like no other. Now he is with Father God and Michael has a huge smile on his face. He is now at PEACE.

Beautiful words, Jermaine. The only thing is that I think it would be good to name specific charities that Michael donated to. I think he was a unique man with essentially a good soul that, at times, was troubled because after all he was only human. I have been praying for him and the kids because of my belief that he was such a kind person, and am truly sad that he died so tragically.
God bless you all.

When Michael passed the world felt darker; it was as if a bright and beautiful light had been extinguished. But maybe it hasn't completely gone out after all. Thank you, Jermaine. Thank you so much for keeping this all important (and too often overlooked) part of your brother's legacy alive. I hope that more people will begin to remember Michael as the generous humanitarian he was.

Peace, blessings, and love to you and your family.

Please add this to my previous comment: I love Michael Jackson though I never met him but I saw his heart and his soul just as this world did , we were blessed and now we must remember what he taught us . Jermaine please remember to ignore the bad remarks about your brother God knows the truth and why he put him among us. Be strong! You are making Michael so proud. Keep it up. Love to your family and Michael's children *mwha*

to rj and william this blog is about michael. if you want to hear about other things going on in the world go blog somewhere else. leave us alone that want to remember a beautiful person like michael. and all the many things he did for children and the world. he was a wonderful person and we want to hear, whatever we can find out about him. to jermaine the article was beautiful. and michael would be very happy to know that you want to continue what he started. thank you jermaine and my prayers and thoughts are with you and your whole family.

Jermaine, reading this made me love you and your brother even more than i already do, and trust me i love u both very much.
Your brother was a gift.
i cry over him everyday and i get so frustrated thinking about how many people didn't see and some STILL don't see the TRUE side to him.
I wish you all the best and support you to the fullest
i celebrate Michael everyday and also mourn his death everyday
Love you all
and best wishes for you and your family

Hi Jermaine,
Thank You for sharing your brother's purpose in the middle of your sorrow. Michael will always live through his Music and good deeds he will continue to support! Keep his light burning bright!

YES JERMAINE... PREACH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... MICHEAL ALREADY HAS ETERNAL LIFE IN HAVEN .

SO ALL U HATERS BETTER LOOK IN THE MIRROW N CHANGE UR EVIL WAYS INCLUDING ALL THE MEDIA, MICHEALS ACCUSERS IN THE MOLESTATION CASES, EVIL MEDIA CORRESPONDENTS LIKE NANCY GRACE, JANE MITCHEL, DIANE SOWYER, EVIL D.A TOM SNEDDON AND THE REST OF THE AXIS OF EVIL LOT

... U GUYZ BETTER CHANGE UR WAYS OR SOMEDAY U STAND BEFORE GOD AND BE CONDEMNED 4 ALL THE EVIL U DID TO MIKE AND BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!! HOPE U ALLL READ THIS THO.

So beautiful said by Jermaine, he can be so very proud at his brother and its a good thing he will take over the message of Michael.. BUT please don't forget to spread another great message what Michael sadly never was able to do...LOVE YOURSELF FIRST its good to give to others like Jermaine says it's what i also believe God wants us to do, but you have to love yourself first to give it to others, all the generousity and love and patients and humanitaries he also must have given himself FIRST, God wants us to be lovable to ourself too, i think God is very sad about the fact he forgot to be kind and gentle to himself what eventually caused his death, cuz people who love themselve enough never allow propophol into their vains just to sleep and i guess there are many other examples what makes it clear our dearest sweet Michael didnt love himself at all and to me that is so heartbreaking. Yes we all must make this world a better place but please let us all first learn how to love ourselves enough too so we can give the best of us to eichother in a healthy way
My condolences to the family and the children may God Bless You All and May Michael Rest in Peace

ONCE GAIN, THANK YOU JERMAINE... AND A BIGGER THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE JACKSON FAMILY FOR THE GIFT OF MICHEAL JACKSON..

JERMEINE I WANT U TO KNOW THAT WE ALL ARE BEHIND U IN WATEVER U WISH TO DO TO PROMOTE AND PROTECT MICHEALS LEGACY.. WE ARE ALSO BEHIND MICHEALS CHILDREN AND LOVE N SUPPORT THEM ( AS 4 ME, I HAVE TRANSFERED THE LOVE I HAVE FOR THEIR FATHER TO HIS KIDS, ESPECIALLY BLANKET).

MAY GOD BLESS U ALL IN HIS LOVE AND PROTECTION AND SURROUND U WITH HIS LOVE TO HELP YOU ALL HEAL IN JESUS NAMNE, AMEN!

Good bless you Gemaine! Michael WAS A VERY SPECIAL HUMAN BEING , a profet of love . The world must understand better his message , not only the english speacher. In my country a lot of people love him , but if they will understand better his messagfe , his lyrics , i am sure they will be touched by Michael's Great Legacy.

Nothing personal, but it sounds like lots of American people in the U.S.A. still seem to be very racial against Black people in which is sad, and lots of American people seem to have a suing addiction to too many people for a quick buck in the U.S.A., or to whom they are jealous to the successful, but why didn't Michael Jackson a very successful businessman, but a harassed and tortured soul, try to seek residence in Canada where the racial issues of being Black, or people suing other people as a hobby is really not considered to be an issue here in Canada?

“Michael Jackson could have probably lived, and or received a very prestige life style and or living status in peace here in Canada; your friendly neighbour. Canada would have loved to have Michael Jackson as a Canadian, or a Duel Citizen!”

“Michael Jackson had a great honest heart, and soul! R.I.P. !

“Believe it or not, it is not complicated, but your President Obama is not a stupid man! But in fact he is a very intelligent individual. Please try to listen to your President, and he would help these complicated situations with reformed Health Care. Remember, only all legal American Citizens that live in the U.S.A. can benefit from this situation, and therefore would receive good quality medical Health Care with the presentation of an American Health Card, I.D, and not a credit card for payment of moneys owed for your health, and or your well being. All Canadians that live in Canada have the greatest Health Care system in the world because all Canadians are treated the same regardless that you are rich or poor, or Black or White. Canada’s Health Care System covers all most all medical situations, with little limited situations covering to name a few like: all sicknesses, illnesses, yearly physicals, emergencies, free medications for seniors, capped M.D. wages, capped medical staff, no credit cards, prioritized and reasonable waiting times! The better your jobs Health Care Benefits the more competitive jobs get including lots of bonus or extra benefits, or little extra perks like ward rooms, semi-private rooms, or private rooms. Some plans give extra for braces, and extra stuff like lawyers fees for divorces, wills, plastic surgery, and glasses. Health Care covers most basic medical stuff like: appointments, treatments, travelling accommodations, hotels, to name a few. Remember, if you are not a legal Citizen, then you cannot get a Heath Card, and therefore you cannot get any free medical help without paying, so then you have to pull out your credit cards, and pay like the Americans in the U.S.A. No Canadian Citizen ever paid $1,500/check-up, $150,000/month, or had to mortgage there house ever for any medical illness. We have the option to pay out of Country only if we seek medical treatment without our Doctors signed travel grant approval, or without travel co-ordination anywhere in the world. We also would get re-imbursement or covered if there was an emergency situation anywhere in the world that we were that we paid out money, with proper pay out receipts!"

BRAVO Jermaine! But I wish I could say you told me something new today. The media may not have put nearly enough emphasis on his charity work, ok, almost none. But who cares? The most important thing was that the billions–yes, BILLIONS of fans he had around the world knew it, and felt it. And what I loved is that, no matter when Michael spoke, no matter what topic may have been the focus, he ALWAYS told of his efforts to give, and encouraged others to do so. And you know that no matter if you were a fan or not, if Michael was giving an interview and it was known, people were glued to the TV. So everyone knows he gave.
If I could ask you one favor though: You spoke of the many cases in which Michael reached out to help, and you said there are many instances you are only now learning about, yourself. My request is, if there is a record of it–on video especially, please release it!! Show him at work, make those charities known. Show the faces of the millions he helped! Let them tell their story. I'd love an update on Farcus for example–the little boy who is alive today because Michael worked to find him a liver–I believe he is from Romania? Better yet, Tally up the total he gave to charity and to individuals and proudly scream the number! I'm sure that number would be close to impossible to beat! God knows how many more people will continue to be helped by his continued generosity–we know that certain charities are in his WILL, and if that doesn't convince people of who Michael was deep inside, then nothing will! Those who were heartless, and spoke only dirt, will unfortunately remain heartless, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop that. Just know that even if people don't or didn't want to admit to Michael's immense generosity, they still know it!

Love you, and thank you! I miss Michael sooooooooo much! It really hurts, it cut so deep.

Love always,

Vicki

Dear Jermain

Make a song from Michael a old song Whe are the World with your brothers and sisters and all the singers Lionel Ritchie and others ! Do that For Michael !

greetings from a fan from belgium

Jermaine: My children and I want to say Thank You! so much for understanding that for those of us who love Michael, we needed to hear from the family, how you and the family are doing and getting through this difficult time,if the children are getting through each day without their Daddy. To each loved one, he was something different, so lovely in his own way, a father, a son, a brother, an uncle, a beloved friend, and a magnificently talented, compassionate, giving and lovely human being. We will miss his wonderful presence for the remainder of our journey here. He will forever be a treasure to this world and to the Other Side as well. So thank you again, Jermaine, for stepping up to be the spokesperson for the family, for Michael, for having the respect, love, understanding and compassion to speak to the world and all who love Michael, as we share in your grief and wish to carry on his light in this world. We need it! Please keep surrounding Michael's children with love, comfort and guidance as they grow. Let them know their Daddy is looking on at them, every minute, loving, guiding, helping. Michael is covering you with his love and his spirit as well, giving you the words, his intentions, his guidance -remember that. Love and blessings to you and The entire Jackson Family

Hi Jermaine: I too am focusing on a mission to clear Michael Jackson's name by promoting Redemption: The Truth Behind the Michael Jackson Child Molestation Allegation (the book that proves Michael Jackson was framed in 1993) all over the world. I will not stop until Michael Jackson's name is clear. (Available on Amazon.com).

God bless you for what you are doing Jermaine and thank you.

WHO WILL SPEAK FOR MICHAEL? WILL U B THERE

Would be nice to hear them say they are returning Neverland to it's original state in Honour of Michael. Even if he is not put to rest on the property. Any others agree.. Maybe McClain and Branca can save Micheals share? Time will tell I know his albums are still hitting number one... Income is coming in...

Jermaine, I hope that part of your journey from this point forward in honoring Michael's life, will also be for YOU to SING! You have the loveliest voice and Michael wants you to SING. If you can do what you believe your brother wants you to do to bring his message, his compassion and his help to the world, please use your own gift of music to do at least part of that.

SING!

Blessings and comfort to you and your family.

Yea Michael did charity work? Getting little kids to trust him then gathering them up in his bed to play "hide the pole" or who's "twinky is bigger than mine". And lets not forget "bend over here comes Michael"

Hello Jermaine.
You're so right! and I think Michael was the most awesome human ever! I'm just 14 I can't say I've experienced alot of problems or stuff like that, but when I do I always think like Michael, in every situation. What can I do? Not what can she, do or what can he do, but what can I do? It's truly important to think like that. About everything! It's sad that we lost Mike when we need him the most, and it's sad that he gets so much attention now that he's dead. He could have used som more love when he was alive! I hope you & and the rest of the Jackson family feel better!

Just remember that we're all here for you, you're not alone!
Rest in peace Mike.

Ever since i became a Michael Jackson fan I had to defend myself and michael. I couldn't find the words to explain, why I loved him so mutch an why his music meant so mutch to me and why it could make me feel better from one moment to another.
On the day that he died I never believed he was really gone.

Dear Jermaine,
thank you for putting this Message out, it makes me feel a lot better. If we all would do the same thing, this world is accually going to be a better place.

Thanks, debbie (netherlands)

Hi Jermaine, thank you for your lovely message. Michael was a truely peacful man with only love in his heart. He exuded love, how people could miss it, I do not know. You too are a peacful man and we all know it. God bless you and give you strength to continue your mission and take care of your family. Your dear mother needs to know that all our love it towards her and the family. Those beautiful childeren must be shielded from all this horribel media and only exposed to information of how wonderful their father was and how he was loved so strongly by all who knew anything about him. I dread to think of how upset they will feel when the day comes that they surf the net or read a book that will depict their father in the ways that he wasn't. Please protect them as much as possibel and when the time comes that they become old enough to no longer be supervised, please prepare them so that they will not be devestated by such ugly rumours.

I pray for Michael's beautiful sole everyday. I pray for your lovely mother. I pray for his inocent childeren. I pray for you and your siblings. And I pray everyday that those selfish and heartless people who caused all of Michael's troubles, get his message and see the light, and go public with the truth about how they were blinded by greed. I will forgive them. Michael deserves to be acknowledged for the good man he was.

Good on you Jermaine you keep Michaels wonderful memories alive.
He is so sadly missed by everyone all over the world, and listening to his songs is a real joy. I have listened to his songs and they all have a meaning to them. Heal The World, The Earth song. In these songs he cared alot about people all over the world, which just goes to show he was a loving person. My prayers are with you and the rest of the family, and also with Michaels children. I am very happy that they are with their grandmother and Michael will be very happy to, because this is the way he wanted it. I know this is hard to do but be strong and carry on with your mission, God bless you all.

larry i was disappointed with the silly questions you kept asking michaels father joe.
pls dont ask jermain such silly questions.

TO JERMAINE
michael jackson has been my life.i have loved him since i was born(1986) and the first song i learned to sing was BAD.i have always believed in home abd hoped to meet him,when i was a kid i always wrote letters to him which my father pretended to post.i would threaten to go and live with michael if i was upset.michael has inspired me so much,i never knew the planet was in trouble till i watched "earth song".i learned to give to people because i heard "we are the world". i got scared when i watched "thriller".i fell in love while dancing to "you are not alone".i love michael.i have pushed myself to succeed because i hoped to be rivh and famous and thus meet michael.i wont meet him here on earth,but i will def meet him again in heaven.
please jermaine make sure michaels kids are happy,with a degree of privacy.michael would want that,
God bless you.x

Michael brought a light of goodness to this world. He did his job and left us, but this light will shine forever.

THANK YOU SO MUCH LARRY FOR GIVING US ALL THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH JERMAINE AND THE REST OF THE JACKSON FAMILY THE VERY BEST OF THEIR BELOVED MICHAEL JACKSON. I'm just lost for words to describe how thrilled I am about this opportunity to hear it from the "horses mouth" Jermaine about the humanitarian support and involvement that MJ had in the whole world, which was rarely reported and some of us were to some extend undereducated with it.

JERMAINE, YOU HAVE OUR SUPPORT IN THIS MISSION TO CONTINUE WITH MJ'S HUMANITARIAN WORK. GOD BLESS YOU AND I HOPE WE ALL SEE THIS POSITIVELY WITHOUT THOSE NEGATIVE ATTITUDES SOME USUALLY HAVE ABOUT MJ.

WE LOVE YOU MJ AND RIP!!!:

I love Jermaine's words because the first time I saw Michael/The Jackson 5 on television I thought this boy is an angel sent to us by God. At the same time I fell in love with that handsome and magic black boy who looks like my elder brother. And nobody has been able to convince me that Michael could hurt someone be he a little boy. I personally suffered because of the false accusations and tried to explain to some people that people wanted to take some money from Michael and this made me really sad. Then, I promise to myself that I would be the woman who would protect Michael and be the person he could talk to. Then when he visited my hometown (Oyem)in Gabon I was convinced God took him there to meet me, unfortunately I was in South Africa. I believed so much in his goodness that I feel lost and heartbroken.
I will always love you MJJ and I am ready to help spread your message.

Salam Jermaine, Thank you for highlighting the true person that Michael really was – compassionate, kind, gentle and caring person. He has such a huge heart that can wrap itself around the entire globe! he is truly a citizen of the world, a true humanitarian. Back here in Malaysia, i grew up listening to Michael, watching the tv shows, the cartoons, feeling proud of all his achievements and angry with all the accusations brought against him which are obviously financially motivated. I have loved Michael all this time and still do. I miss him terribly but i have to take comfort that he is now in a much better place, free from any pain or hurt. Please continue to fulfill Michael's visions and missions. Honor his legacy. We his fans will continue to stand by him and support him, and you in continuing his missions. Please also make sure that all those who have caused Michael's untimely death be brought to justice and pay their dues. May Allah bless you and your family and especially Michael's children – Prince, Paris and Blanket. I am happy that in his final years, he has his children whom i know brought him so much joy and happiness. I will continue to pray for his soul and mourn his loss. ...Michael continues to live in our hearts forever and always...He is never alone...

Thanks Jermaine for paying testament to your brother who was not only a BRILLIANT entertainer but also a REMARKABLE human being who cared enough to change the world.I'm glad that you have made it your mission to show the world who Michael truly was i.e a loving,caring and compassionate individual who dedicated his life to helping those that were in need and less fortunate.

Michael is LOVE and the Bible says what is the meaning of love and it is what Michael did on earth:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. "

Michael deserves to be recognized for his countless humanitarian efforts and for all that he contributed to fellow mankind.You have my full support in your endeavors to spread his word to the world!

God Bless You and the rest of the Jackson Family.

Love you Michael!

Virtually all of Michael Jackson's fans, including my humble self, will be happy to see Jermaine take to the four corners of the world Michael's message of love and humanity and all that he actually stood and lived for as a person. In addition, this article of Jermaine will provoke a disdain for the media from Michael's fans for overwhelmingly downplaying all the good and wonderful things MJ did for the world.In the same vein it will also covertly highlight the injustice and sadness Joe Jackson might have felt( even though Joe will never publicly say this) for not getting much credit publicly from MJ for the enormous role the latter played in his career. Giving the world the impression that Joe Jackson was an abuser of his kids for all that he did to make his kids succeed was not a very good idea, if you ask me.
Nevertheless, it is my deep belief that MJ will finally find peace with his death. Thanks Jermaine for the good job.

Hello Jermaine

Giff my love and support to all your family
God bless you and the rest of the Jackson Family

From a fan from Belgium

Thank you for posting this. I hope that people who read this will realize who Michael Jackson really is and understand him more. Thank you, Jermaine, for sharing us your brother. I am so blessed because I grew up listening and watching your music...to Michael's music. I have always wondered why the media rarely shows the good side of Michael when he has done so many great things not just for our country, but to the whole world. I never understood why they do that and it hurts my heart every time I hear something negative about Michael. To me, he is the kindest, sweetest, gentlest, and most loving soul I have ever known. I may not have known him personally, but I know in heart of hearts that Michael is a good person. Now I feel like a part of me is gone...but I am also at peace because Michael is in a better place and no one can ever hurt him again.
Thank you Jermaine. You have enlightened me and lifted up my spirit. I will do my best to make this world a better place.

I love you, MJ – Paola S.

I admire you Jermaine.
You must be mounrning right now , but even so you are also helping us – Michael's fans – to cope with our hurt and sadness.

You are a verry warm , tender and loving brother to Michael.
It gives me a good feeling to know that he has you as a brother.

I speak in present , and do so for a personal reason.

I will help by putting this blog in mine, to spread the word,

It must have been hard for you to write this.

Thank youu Jermaine.

Dear Jermaine
Thanks a lot for this message. It makes me glad that you will carry on with Michael's humanitarian work, just great. Please keep us informed.

I wish you well Jermaine. Let his legacy live on. Legacy of benevolence. I pray hard each day for Michael, his kids, your mom and your entire family. Now, I will keep you in my prayers in your mission to continue your bother's unfinished business for the needy in the world. KEEP IT UP that the world will never forget Michael. GOD BLESS YOU.

Thank you Jermaine, for spreading Michaels love. He was the best! He did spread love and peace for the world. I still can't believe he gone. I will pray for you and your family, and please keep Michaels message alive and spread the love, help and hope that he did.

I love you and your family. Michael rest in peace.

I loved your brother's music but am guilty of not listenting for many years. I was stunned by his death and somehow I feel I lost of part of my life and history. I am so sad, I can't imagine how you feel.

I WAS IN THE GROCERY STORE PICKING UP A MAGAZINE ALL ABOUT MICHAEL’S DEATH AND I HEARD A YOUNG BOY BEHIND ME ASK HIS MOTHER “WHY IS EVERYONE SO UPSET ABOUT HIS DEATH?”, WHO WAS HE? AND IN THAT INSTANT I REALIZED THERE IS A WHOLE NEW YOUNG GENERATION WHO PROBABLY DON’T KNOW WHO HE WAS. HE HASN’T REALEASED NEW MUSIC IN QUITE A WHILE. AND I PONDERED THE YOUNG BOY’S QUESTION “WHO IS HE AND WHY ARE WE UPSET.

I hope the younger generation come to know who he was and I hope you and your family help keep his legend alive.

The song "the way you make me feel" keeps going thru my mind. He made me feel I could dance, I could sing and he made me want to heal the world.

I hope we find out soon what happened to Michael. The fans need closure and someone or ones to be held accountable.

Thank you, Jermaine for sharing this insight into your brother's "other" side, unfortunately, the side which the media chose to ignore during his lifetime because presenting this will paint a more "normal and human" side of him which they did not want the public to see. It was not "sensational" news.
After your brother's death, I started scouring the internet and going through his body of work and realized that if people just really listened to his words and his music, they would understand him because he bared himself, his feelings and thoughts in almost all of his songs. In the beginning when the music began, all innocence and the promise of what the future held, to the more carefree teen years, and finally, when all of the ugly accusations and name-calling started, the frustration, the plea for a fair shake and the return of his privacy. However, there was one theme that was was constant through it all, his love for his fellowmen, especially for the plight of children and this place we call home, the earth.
I have felt a tremendous sense of loss since Michael's death. The world was given a wonderful gift in Michael because he shared his gifts and talents with us ( who else can claim to be singer, songwriter, arranger, musician,dancer choreographer poet, philanthropist, not to mention that he drew wonderfully....(loved his sketches and drawings!! )). Sadly, as the world is wont to do, it failed to truly appreciate the gift it was offered until it was too late.
It is time to celebrate MIchael's life and legacy. We owe Michael this.
Thank you again, Jermaine for sharing your talents and your brother with us . He was one of the most beautiful (in every sense of the word..) people who walked the earth.

Jermaine, your brother was the most talented artist to ever live, who had a beautiful heart. His music is a part of life my life and it will always be. Thank you so much for making this world aware of all the good that your brother did, keeping on going, you have my support and best wishes!

Now I am crying again. What a beautiful tribute Jermaine. Thank you xx

Dear Jermaine,

I am living in the Netherlands en I want to send you and your family my love.

thank you Jermain for sharing with us the true nature of michael.though he went through depression following media demonisation of him i feel he leaves behind his good legacy on the sands of time.his days lived and his humanitarian services is a source of inspiration to me which i have made my pledge to impact humanity by following his footprints.i pray that his passing away should give you the strenght to continue with what he left and God to guide his children

OBRIGADA SENHOR PELA OPORTUNIDADE DE LER ESTA LINDA ENTREVISTA.

PARABÉNS LARRY!! INFELIZMENTE NÃO SEI FALAR NEM ESCREVER INGLÊS, MAS SEMPRE COLOCO NO TRADUTOR GOOGLE PARA ME INFORMAR DE TUDO SOBRE MICHAEL. MEU ÍDOLO QUERIDO QUE PARTIU TÃO CEDO E NOS DEIXOU AQUI COM O CORAÇÃO CHORANDO SUA FALTA. ASSITO SEU PROGRAMA SEMPRE, MESMO SEM ENTENDER NADA, KKK...

SEMPRE AMEI MICHAEL E MEU SONHO SERIA CONHECÊ-LO PESSOALMENTE, MAS A VIDA NEM SEMPRE NOS PRESENTEIA COM ESTAS OPORTUNIDADES, INFELIZMENTE NÃO TIVE ESSE PARAZER. MUITAS COISAS SE FALOU SOBRE MICHAEL DURANTE SUA TRANSFORMAÇÃO VISUAL E MUITAS COISAS FORAM FALADAS SOBRE SUA VIDA PESSOAL, MAS JAMAIS SE FALOU DE SUAS OBRAS PARA AJUDAR O MUNDO, AS PESSOAS A SE CONCIENTISAREM SOBRE O NOSSO PLANETA. CONFESSO QUE FIQUEI CONHECENDO MAIS O NOSSO AMÁVEL MICHAEL DEPOIS DE SUA MORTE, MAS SEMPRE O VI COMO UMA PESSOA ESPECIAL, UM ENVIADO DE DEUS PARA NOS MOSTRAR QUE TODOS NÓS SOMOS IRMÃOS E NOSSAS DIFERENÇAS FÍSICAS NÃO IMPORTA, O QUE IMPORTA SÃO NOSSAS ATITUDES SOBRE O QUE PODEMOS MODIFICAR E NO QUE PODEMOS FAZER PARA OS OUTROS.
AMO, AMO, AMO E SEMPRE AMAREI MICHAEL, TENHO CERTEZA QUE O ENCONTRAREI UM DIA.SOMOS MUITO PARECIDOS, EU TAMBÉM GOSTO MUITO DE AJUDAR O PRÓXIMO, INFELIZMENTE NÃO TENHO MUITA CONDIÇÃO FINANCEIRA PARA AJUDAR AINDA MAIS. MINHA SITUAÇÃO NO MOMENTO NÃO É BOA, MAS MESMO ASSIM SEMPRE AJUDO MESMO QUE SEJA COM PALAVRAS, SEMPRE LEVANDO O BEM À TODOS. TAMBÉM SOU APAIXONADA POR CRIANÇAS, SOU SOLTEIRA, NÃO TIVE FILHOS, NUNCA CASEI E SE EU PUDESSE TERIA FEITO O MESMO QUE MICHAEL FEZ PARA TER FILHOS. TENTEI ADOTAR, ENTREI NA FILA, MAS NÃO CONSEGUI. MAS AGORA SEI QUE DEUS TÁ NA FRENTE DE TUDO, ENTÃO VI QUE ELE TEM OUTRA MISSÃO PARA MIM, CUIDAR DOS FILHOS DOS OUTROS, ESTOU CUIDANDO NOVAMENTE DE CRIANÇAS EM MINHA CASA. LEMBREI AGORA QUE QUANDO OS FILHOS DE MICHAEL NASCERAM EU QUERIA TER CUIDADO DELE S ... POXA SERIA MUITO BOM DEMAIS!!

PARABÉNS JERMAINE POR SUA ATITUDE, PODE CONTAR COMIGO PARA LEVAR O LEGADO DE MICHAEL AO MUNDO.

MICHAEL FOI E É UM ANJO ENVIADO DE DEUS, ABENÇOADO POR SEU TALENTO, POR SUA MÚSICA, POR SEUS FILHOS, POR SUAS ATITUDES DE AJUDAR O PRÓXIMO.
SEJA MUITOA FELIZ JERMAINE E QUE DEUS O ABENÇOE SEMPRE.
SAÚDE PARA FAMÍLIA JACKSON.
QUE DEUS ABENÇOE SEMPRE OS FILHOS DE MICHAEL PARA QUE CRESÇAM COM O MESMO PROPÓSITO DO SEU AMÁVEL PAI.
TENHO CERTEZA QUE ELE ESTÁ NUM LUGAR TRANQUILO AO LADO DE DEUS, SUPER SERENO E MUITO FELIZ. ORGULHOSO DE TODOS AQUELES QUE ESTÃO LEMBRANDO DELE POR TUDO QUE ELE FEZ. PELA PESSOA AMÁVEL E DE GRANDE CORAÇÃO.
AINDA CHORO MUITO SENTINDO SUA FALTA, MAS FELIZ POR PODER LER CADA DIA MAIS SOBRE SUA INTIMIDADE, ISSO ME FAZ CONHCÊ-LO AINDA MAIS.
PARABÉNS, PARABÉNS JERMAINE.
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL.

PARABÉNS LARRY POR SUAS ENTREVISTAS MARAVILHOSAS.

It's about time SOMEONE is taking the time to share all of the positive qualities about MJ. As the public often hears negativity, it is refreshing for Jermaine to speak from his heart. MJ was so ahead of his time, he was able to see a world without love, and try to make it a better place. He was such an honest, good person and the media saw this as a weakness, a way to make fun of his vulnerability. I am ashamed of the way he was treated. All of the good he did for us, our world was not ready for such a creative, beautiful soul. His ability to look for the good in all, is simply unheard of today. MJ was ahead of his time and I hope Jermaine can continue to remind us just how special MJ truly was. Thank you Jermaine. .

to Jermaine,
i really want to say thank you for your brother..and let people hear the voice of your brother MJ again..
May God bless you on your mission..

we love your brother so much..

One more thing to Jermaine.

Please take good care of your self. That is the best gift you can give to the ones who love you.

I hope you find peace in your soul and one day find what you are looking for and I hope that you one day will get back some of all that love you send out to everybody.

You are an amazing person!

I didn't realize what a profound impact Micheal's death would have on me, I still cry every day, I listen to his music daily. I believe he was filled with nothing but good and love and he got very wronged by the media's portrayal of him. May God bless him and give strength to the family to help them through this very sad time. The world will never see anyone as talented as him again, he was truly beautiful.

Dear Jermaine, WE deeply thanks for your effort to write the greatest sentences about your brother Michael Jackson. Indeed our feeling of loosing HIM world never be ending, in every seconde, day by day OUr thought, heart and soul goes out with HIM seems that he is still there, somewere, that we will see HIM again someday on the SHOW of new songs for many years to come, as usualy we had, as never beleiving at all that he is really gone. Anyway, by this opportunity, we would like to present as well, Our deepet feeling of sympathies, condolences, and love, to you and all JACKSON clan and family, and hope you'd all be tuff, strong and made unlimited higher power and energie to tackle and to continue his wish and protected seriously his children, his will and his LEGACY, as you are writing above as far as possible without any limit or border for all kind of his creation on his life and to people needed help in this entier WORLD. I am personnaly touching by His natural heart of wise people, for MICHAEL kindheart, magicaly natural way of life on being the best ambassador of humanity in this univers for humanitarian and peace, as king of any other kings and top people as never did those magic messages before, that Michael did his goal and touching entier people BY a spontanity action, by his apparation, by his songs and each lyrics of the songs itself directly listening and or just by the DVD, CD or televisions, in all of the countries approved by the people everywhere in this whole world, that none of Presiden, or King or other top/ simple man or woman did never got a GOAL as the same as what Michael did before. For US, Michael is a gitf of GOD to US, a massenger of GOD to tell anything the truth, an ANGEL that GOD sent HIM to us to make a better life as possible, in THIS WORLD ON many ways and proposes FoR all OF us, mostlY for PEOPLE who need the most, or event for the misanderstood one, that we never had before, from many years and would never GET had the SAME person as MICHAEL again, anymore. We are happy, that Your will is great to continuing his wish and protecting his legacy, it is the most important to US, as no other person outside of the family would ever do it really rigth the same. There are many manipulation I guess among THOSE people, as they sourranded Michael for their own interest only, without really care at all about Michael Jackson interest, as made Michael life becoming many problems by their creation of problem, looks kindnes persons but bad or disaster as to create some stories and problems about Michael for their own interest and brought Michael names down a little by little, without gaining any profit of honnestly for making really true friends or loyal partnership on bussiness, or other activities or just simlpe life and friends, in every step that Michael did for the best interest of every one. They are not honnest people at all, on their mind and heart are consisting of manythings that completaly different with Micahel. Whatever, YOU just not care about those people as Michael was not care either for what those people, while they thinking perhaps Michael in the wrong directions. And I beleive Michael forgive already those bad people, and only GOD knows as you wrote truly about your brother. As you know, WE all his FANS beleive in HIM and all what he was done, always, and would never listening to those bad guys. May LORD blessing you and all your Jackson's family, to overcome these black shadow by his passing and all what you will have to do to gaine and protecting Michael's. And life is go on and should be to continuing however for the futur, so you must have stronger courages in this very difficult times. We love really Michael however, and we are wihing the truth will come about his dead and bring all who are envolve to justice. MICHAEL will always be with US, forever and without ending. Thanks again JERMAINE; thanks LARRY, YOU both are GREAT and GBU.

Hi Jermaine -
Thank you so very much for this blog. And thank you for taking on the task of preserving Michael's humanitarian legacy. I am having trouble accepting his death, as I feel he received such unfair handling by the media and by many people. I would like to see the record set straight and the truth be told on the front page of the news.

I know that God teaches us to turn the other cheek, but the glaring injustices done to him by other people really should be addressed in some way. I am still appalled by the brutality he endured, by the way a flimsy case was allowed to be brought before the court system, and by the false reporting done about his life.

God Bless You

Hi Jermaine – I hope you read this message. There are many of us in the world who feel your/your family's pain although yours must be miles deeper than ours. I saw you on Larry King Live (at the Neverland Ranch) shortly after MJ's passing and was moved by what you said. I am also deeply moved by your tribute on this page. I am British and have been an MJ and Jackson 5 fan from 1971. You, Jermaine, were my 'first real love' (many young people in my school in Scotland were in love with each one of the J5) but when you married Berry Gordy's daughter, I switched my undying love to MJ and did not waver from then on. Most of all, I admired his child-like ways, uncomplicated innocence and unconditional love for humanity. These, unfortunately, were misinterpreted by some to denote something sinister.

I still cry whenever I listen to MJ's music. The 'cry' is more for all the malevolent things that have been said about MJ and the lack of appreciation for [MJ's] work by some sections of the media and other detractors. If there is anything you would like those of us, who valued MJ's gift of love and extraordinary gift to entertain, to do to promote MJ's good deeds please let us know. I can’t understand why these others do not feel what I do when I listen to his music or watch him dancing. They prefer to sensationalise his private life.

MJ was a short-term (50 years) gift from God to the world and God has now taken him back. It is good that MJ cannot feel pain any more. His detractors will continue to exploit his good name and make money from his demise and music. That’s the nature of the world we live in!

we are all having difficulties since Michael's death. your brother had huge impact in my life, and i really miss him so much.

THIS IS FOR YOU MICHAEL

Love is a strange and beautiful thing,
It spans time and space, distance is no object to love.
You will wait forever for the one you love,
Travel wherever you need to be with them.
When you are in the arms of the one you love,
That love can make a moment last a lifetime,
Yet make a lifetime seem no more than a moment.
When love is distant it grows strong,
When it returns it flowers.
People desire for it, strive for it, fight for it, stand for it,
and die for it,
And when they find it, they know they are complete.
For in the arms of the one we love is wholeness,
Belief, completeness, passion, and loyalty.
The one we love is someone for whom we would do anything,
And never ask for anything in return.
It produces a love of all that person is and will ever be,
Regardless of what that may mean to me.
Love knows that when you are away,
That you are still loved, cherished, thought after, and missed
By the one you love,
And they know that you love them back.
That LOVE will last forever...

i love you Michael... .

Thank you Jermaine for loving Michael this much and telling everyone that he was not only an entertainer, but also a real human being who was full of love.I do really like these sentences of yours; "The world needs to know this is who he was. Because while there were always cameras following him, the media didn’t tell the story of his caring and compassion. They only wanted to sensationalize him." Unfortunately most of the people couldn't get what Michael tried to give.
I still can't stop cryin' since his passing.And it's been 42 days.I hope everyone will understand him one day.I hope he may rest in peace.My condolences to the Jackson Family and to the fans all over the world. I watched the video of the 4th Birthday Celebration of Paris and I think everyone should watch that video and should see how a loving daddy he was, how he was loved by his little kids and how the children were REALLY loved by him...
Love from Turkey

Well said Jermaine, may God Bless you and I know that Michael is at peace with our loving Heavenly Father. My mission in life is also to do good for the ones who need it the most, I also learned Michael's good nature through his death and will always inspire me. Hearing the song Smile from his History album keep me smiling at all times. Best wishes in the charity work that you will be doing.
God loves you and so do I!

Jermaine, your brother's work is laudable. Why all the 'hatred' towards him you ask. It is a part of the human condition. Rather than people emmulating the good that others do, those who are capable but unwilling to do so turn that into 'hatred towards that person' because the/she make them look bad. It highlights the bad in us and we don't like it. I am speaking from personal experiance. Why was MLK shot, Abe Lincoln, Mandela imprisoned, John Lennon shot, the list goes on.

Usually when the famous and/or wealthy do good work , it is easier for people to think that they are in it for themselves. I have heard things like "it makes me look good ' or 'it gives me a tax break ' and things like that. 'Me, myself and I'. The world is so in tune with 'what is in it for me' that they tend to think that everybody else who does something good is the same way. We see the world through our own stained glass.
Besides, talking about humanitarian causes does not sell newspapers that much. The consumers dictate it that way. Very odd but that is what we do so there is less money to be made. Case in point. CNN has a show called heores, how many other networks have anything similar?

Can this be changed, I pray so. But it will be a gradual process. So much so that if you attempt to do that in one shot or in your lifetime, the world will take you down instead. But there is still hope, we can only continue to give and believe that collectively it will make a difference!

Larry, can you PLEASE PLEASE ask Jermaine if Michael Jackson converted to islam before he passed? I know you've already asked Joe but he knows nothing about his sons personal life. Please, there are many anxious fans waiting for this answer and Jermaine is the only one in the family that will answer it. Thanks!

Jermaine,this is so wunderfull,how you wright about your brader,and i am glad,tha CNN halping you to let the peaples know all this pozitivs of Michael.I would like to read alvais this kinde of thinks,and forgat about all the bad things,that the media try to make belive to to the peaples.But dont forgat,its mostly just trying,couse peaples dont lissen that,thay love MJ.

When you see the sensationalism on Michael in death, one can only imagine what he had to endure in life. MJ is at peace now. He was a wonderful talented and giving, caring person, who will never be forgotten. It is a tragic and unnecessary loss, which makes it all so hard to accept. I hope the folks who contributed to his death pay dearly. I wish MJ realized how much we all loved him when he was with us!

Why hasn't the family finally put a closure to where the body should lie in rest? Is it due to another autopsy ,security purposes surrounding the body or family disagreement? Most of the other issues are court related and will settle in due time? If there is so much respect for Michael, place the body in eternal rest .

Thanks Larry for being a wonderful person. The rest of the media should take some lessons from you. Some of the media (NANCY GRACE) should use tact when talking about people because they are not God. After her death she will be known as a low life. I know the tactics she uses is to keep up her rating. She needs to find other ways to increase her rating. We need more responsible media coverage. The media should report the facts and leave their personal feelings and ideas at home.

Yes, Michael do a lot of charity work. During his brief stay in Manila, Philippines (HIStory tour 1996) he visited hospital here. It was on the news though here in Manila, but I guess it did not reached the US... He has a pure heart that was so hard to understand for others... I guess the world has lot more are what we called paranoid than pure at heart, so when you are nice to kids they call you pedophile. As the saying goes, you never know what you have until you lost it.

Jermaine, if your mission is to let the world know all the good that Michael has done, then I hope you will also make it your mission to let the world know the things he has not done as well. I am tired of hearing and sadden by remarks still circulating in regards to "sexual misconduct" with children.

Michael leaves a pretty message: take care a few of others, be more human, what you can do to help someone? if it is going to give hardly attention and to hear his friend, brother, his parents, do it! Be educated, thoughtfully and affectionately!
Hug and kiss!

Thank you Jermaine for putting the positive side of this great man out there in the media. I along with many million others loved and still love MJ. There is no one who compares to him in terms of talent , kindness,and a pure heart . I am so glad that people are starting to recognize how wonderful this human being was. I am only sad because not enough people , and the media never saw it. Larry, I am also glad you continue to follow this story ,don't listen to the negative comments from people who are saying that other news should be reported, of course it should but we must not forget this incredible mans life and legacy. Michael may you rest in peace , now you are an angel in heaven who is looking down on all of us and hopefully people will continue to spread your message of love and humanity .

Dear Jermaine, i offered this prayer every time to Michael Jackson..
because i know he is instrument of Peace, love and hope. your brother deserves to be love, to be understood, to be console...

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

St. Francis was born at Assisi in 1182. After a care free youth, he turned his back on inherited wealth and committed himself to God. Like many early saints, he lived a very simple life of poverty, and in so doing, gained a reputation of being the friend of animals. He established the rule of St Francis, which exists today as the Order of St. Francis, or the Franciscans. He died in 1226, aged 44.
The prayer has many of the biblical truths of what it means to be a Christian – to seek to give, and in so doing, receive blessings; that the Lord's Prayer asks God to forgive us as we forgive, and that the goal of eternal life can only result from us putting to death our old sinful lives.

JERMAINE WE'RE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY, JUST LIKE WE ARE WITH MICHAEL, WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU ON YOUR MISSION, FINALLY SOMEONE WILL POINT OUT ALL THE AMAZING THINGS MICHAEL HAS DONE, HE WAS SELFLESS, FULLFILL HIS PROPHECY. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING OUT, YOU'RE SPEAKING FOR MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD. GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU JERMAINE, THANK YOU MICHAEL JACKSON. LARRY YOU'RE A KING AT WHAT YOU DO!

May I say that this is just an amazing thing. Jermaine is a great person to do this for Michael...You will find support Jermaine...Michael was and always will be an amazing person...the world has a lost an amazing entertainer and human being. His main goal was to improve the whole world. May God rest his soul

Jermaine,

You are right on with your comments about Michael.
My prayer is that Michael's love for the good things of God will be
manifested from this moment on until the day comes when we all
stand before Him. And that his legacy will remain everlasting through
the years and on into eternity with our Heavenly Father. My heart goes
out to you and your family. I'm praying for you all and for the children.
I love you all.

Thank you Jermaine for this wonderful story. I think that what your are doing is so important. This is the side of Micheal many chose to ignore because "good" stories dont sell as well as gossip in the media. I hope that you will continue Michael's charity work and maybe someday set up a foundation in his name. I think that would be an even better legacy for Michael Jackson, as a Philanthropist.

you have managed to put across so simply and eloquently the truth about Michael Jackson.

this is a write up that is so essential and overdue to the public. i cannot imagine the pain you are going through for even today my heart is not whole and still hurting.

God's speed, Jermaine.

God Bless Michael and may he rest in peace. I do believe there are angels among us, sent from God, and Michael was an angel.

Dear Jermaine,
THANK YOU for putting forth your energy to make sure people understand what was so important in your brother's heart...making this world a better place. I always saw that in him, no matter what the media tried to portray. I loved Michael and his work, and feel sad he was so persecuted his whole life; it was cruel. How can I help you now in your effort? Just let me know, and "I'll Be There"! Smiles, Carol Ann Holcombe, Morrisville, NC

We are behind u Jermaine. KEEP MJ'S HUMANITARIANISM ALIVE FOREVER. GOD BLESS

Larry thanks for having Jarmaine, looking forward to see him on your show......Fans of Michael & viewers of your show.... From KARACHI >>>>peace

Although the toxiclogy reports are not out yet, a picture of what happened to MJ on that fateful day is beginning to emerge. As an anesthesiologist I am OUTRAGED that a fellow physician who is not trained in the proper use of propofol took it upon himself to do so and the end result is a needless loss of life.

MJ may have had other drugs in his system but if Murray had had proper training in the use of propofol he would have known the proper dosage to give with the rescue equipment needed and medications to give untill 911 help arrived. When was the last time a cardiologist in private practice intubated a patient, anyway?

LIke a colleague of mine noted 'if he didn't kill MJ here in the US, he would have killed him in Europe during the tour'. Murray was the wrong man for the job and he should have said so and disassociated himself from such practice; but I guess the financial incentive was too powerful. (He was in a financial hole).

I am looking forward to the day when Dr. Murray loses his medical license when the American Medical Association is finished dealing with him. He committed GROSS medical negligence. In no way am I endorsing the use of propfol in the home. I have had many a patient ask me for similar drugs to take home with them after surgery, for whatever their reasons might be.

As physicians our creed is 'first to do no harm'. Another aspect we are trained to do is to know when to call an expert in the field, know when to call for help and set our ego aside for the sake of the patient and know when to say no and stand firm. This is what saves lives (in addition to having proper knowledge).

Aside from the talent, fame and iconic status, first and foremost Micheal Jackson was a son, a brother, a father, an uncle, a mentor, a dear friend, a human being and he should have recieved the proper medical care afforded every human being in this country.

Really not yet I can accept that Michael no longer be, since he went, something is broken inside me, is unbearable. Everything that our worshipped Michael did in all his life, is the result of what is the Jackson Family: Humanity. Thanks a lot. Now we receive you Jermaine, like the ambassador of the humane cause that Michael headed in the world, powerful as his divine person, music and loving memory. To my worshipped Michael, I mean that I keep mourning by a month, without listening its music, to be respect his memory, but it has been very difficult. Michael I love you.Miss you. You were the first one, the onlyone, now thanks to your brother, your beautiful spirit will be among us. Jermaine, God bless you, and bless all the Jackson family. Thank you so much Larry for this document, I can´t see LKL because I work to that hour. This page is only I can see. LOVE MJ 4EVER.

Jermaine, I always felt like I "understood" Michael and the kind of loving person that he was. My heart has been crushed by his loss. I was always a big fan of his and feel like I grew up along with him and his music. I never thought he was ever guilty of anything, but I wish that more of the good things that he did throughout his life had been more publicly known. I think that because he was so humble and such a private person that we never found out as much about him as we should have. I wish I had gotten the chance to know him because he was so special. To me, anyone who knew him or had him in their lives was so lucky...since 1983 I have had many health problems and life saving surgeries and I would have loved to have visited Never Land. I feel that Michael should have been laid to rest in Never Land...I think it would be a great way for people to remember him. Please keep us all in touch with Michael. There are so many of us that want to keep knowing and understanding him and all of the gifts that he gave to our world. Love, Kelly

Well said Jermaine! I personally feel that perhaps you and other family members haven't always understood Michael, but after reading your blog I think you certainly are learning new things about him that perhaps you didn't previously know. Michael's fans are not such diehards for no good reason – Michael was amazing and unique and well loved. There will never be anyone to hold a candle to Michael – he surpassed all others in everything he did. I hope you find comfort in your calling, I cannot imagine how great a loss it must be for someone close to Michael to lose him from their lives. I would like to see the family directly address the fans, who are the people who stood by him through thick and thin – many of us have been waiting for word since that fateful June day.

I hope that a way can be found to put Michael at rest in his Kingdom of Neverland as I cannot imagine an ordinary cemetry being a fitting place for him. Keep up the good work Jermaine. God Bless x

Michael was present in my life in so many ways. He helped me through adolescent ups and downs with his lyrics. He entered my house and danced in my lliving room. He attended my prom. His presence is still in my heart. I mourn his lost as if he were a member of my family. I have cried, laughed, danced, and sang in his memory. Like you Jermaine, I will whenever possible, spread his good works. I have only love for your brother and you and your family. I will try "to smile though I feel like crying." Love always.

Jermaine I love Michael and I know he had a good heart I wish your family strengh but don't let that doctor or doctors get away with what happen.................................................... this is a major problem in america

What can I do to participate on a larger scale to help you accomplish this?

Jermaine,

My heart has been broken ever since Michael died. I have felt like a part of me has died and I can't seem to shake it off.

I have watched CNN and HLN every night since his death for any news. Unfortunetly, a lot have been negative, but I still hover around the T.V. everynight for any news.

I have said all along, you must of loved Michael very, very much and protected him as much as you could.

I am so thankful you are, and have stepped up everytime to bring us the anything positive on Michael. He was a "daddy", son and brother.

I only wish he could of found a true love in his lifetime, someone who loved him for himself, and who would of stood beside him thru all his trials and tribulations.

I too belive he is in Heaven and at peace.

My love & prayers to all your family and those precious children. I am thankful they are with Katherine and the Jackson's.

God's Peace,
Cindy

Thank you for the beautiful words and to bring true focus to who Michael was. I, too, believe he is in a truly serene and peaceful place now.

I listened to the music of Michael Jackson because it made me feel good. After his death, I wanted to know more so I looked up and really read the lyrics. Suddenly, my focus of the songs have changed. Yes, they still make me feel good, but I now see that Michael was , in a sense, a visionary trying to get others to listened by using his talent. He was asking us all to pay attention and to focus away from ourselves and onto others and in time the world would change direction from its current course. I listen now and all the songs have a different message for me beyond just making feel good. I really, really listen to the words and emotions Michael is using and it is so moving and inspiring. It truly is making me look at the man in the mirror and even if I can make one small change, I know it will make a difference but nothing will change without me doing something first. I'm just saddened it took his death for me to truly pay attention.

I'm so glad Jermaine is going to continue this focus of Michael's true mission.

Thank you sooo Much for this statement Jermain. Michael was truly an Angel...

I LOVE YOU MOST MICHAEL!!!

Jermaine,

I am happy that we have the chance to connect with you. I am not convinced that my words will ever reach you but I hope they do.

I want to first say that my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I pray that God provides His peace and strength to all of you during this terrible time.

It is amazing, but I feel that through Michael this world has found its common denominator. That just shows how special Michael, your brother, really was. And, I do not mean that only on the bases of his talent but on the basis of his humanity. I never thought I could cry over someone I didn't know as I do for Michael. He not only bonded his soul to his music but he grafted a piece of himself to many of our hearts including mine. When Michael past I felt a shift take place in this world. A void that will forever remain. That is why I could only image how hard this is for you and your family if this is how I feel. And, to think of your pain it only makes all of this harder. I realize that even though Michael was an entertainer, The King of Pop, or whatever title someone may give him, he was a human being with friends, family, and loved ones. I hope many others recognize this as well and provide the respect that is deserving of that reality.

Please Jermaine, I ask if you could tell your mother that this world loves and respects her, supports her, prays for her, and mourns with her. You are truly blessed to have such a wonderful person in your life as your Mother. Her silent strength is commendable. And, I pray that, somehow, God heals her pain. And your father's too. I am also aware that Michael's children must have many questions during this confusing and horrible time. Please let them know that strangers, like myself, keep them in their prayers. Michael has achieved many things but I believe Michael's greatest achievement is through his beautiful children. They are a testimony to his heart, his beliefs, his love, and who he was as a father, a man, and a human being. I just hope he realized how incredible he truly was.

As for you Jermaine, I think it is commendable what you are doing for Michael. Your post was candid, honest, touching, and beautiful. And, I agree the world needs to really know the Michael Jackson you knew. The real Michael. This world has neglected to even comprehend that there was an inner man with emotions, thoughts, dreams, and desires for himself and the world he lived in. Instead this world tore at him and continually took and took from him. This world has also been unfair to him for far too long and undeservingly too. It makes me want to cry every time I think of what he had to endure, what he had to give up, what he had to contend with in this lifetime, and what he had to carry in his thoughts. NO ONE. NO ONE, like your brother, deserved to be treated the way he was treated. I never understood why they could not just let me alone to breathe. I don't know this first hand but I am sure there is a great sacrifice that comes with being famous but this world didn't just let it end with the sacrifice. It was like they wanted his blood. And it made me sick that if he ever said something the world just said he was lying. I know you realize this but it was ridiculous. He could of had blue hair, everyone could see he had blue hair, and he could say he had blue hair. But, as soon as he said he had blue hair the world would say it wasn't blue it was green (because he said it was blue) and he lied. What I said was ridiculous but that is my point. But to not just let it go, on the part of this world, was absolutely, ridiculous. I just wish everyone would just concentrate on Michael's accomplishments.

I don't know about other people, but I have never known or heard of anyone who has worked since they were, what? five, and never stopped. I have never known someone who would open their home to strangers so that they could help take away the pain that person was feeling. I never known someone that gave so much of their money to charity that the amount was astronomical and that it was not for a tax break but really was an act out of genuine concern for the betterment of someone's well being and life. Your brother was so generous. I could almost say that he was generous to a fault. People take advantage of that, of someone's generosity, kindness, and peaceful demeanor. They mistake kindness for weakness. And there are a lot of predators out there in this world. Shame on all those that have ever hurt your brother. There is a special place in hell for all of them.

That is why I agree with you and fully believe that Michael needs to be remembered for his incredible works beyond the realm of entertainment so that the world recognizes the TRUTH!!! That is not to say that I do not feel that your brother was not a musical genius. I do believe he was. But, I also believe that he was a true genius, in every way, and a superb human being. In life you may get the opportunity to meet a genius or maybe someone who is an incredibly amazing person but there are very few times that you are able to say you knew or lived in the time when a genius who was an even more superb human being lived. You are lucky to say you had that experience in your life by having Michael as your brother. I am lucky to say that Michael walked this earth in my lifetime. His mere presence made this world a better place and the world needs to know this.

I don't know why I am able to write these worlds. I feel like I know your brother but I have never meet Michael. Yet, my spirit realizes and recognizes him: his beauty, his sincerity, his compassion, and his brilliance. And if each person was more in tune with their own spirit , I think it would be easier for them to recognize Michael's.

Yet, I have to say that there is one thing that I find most revealing about Michael. Your sister Rebbie had mentioned, in the memorial book, that Michael used to refer to Psalm 37. I know those passages quite well. And, because he leaned on those words I recognize that your brother was ALWAYS innocent, not that I ever doubted it before. That is why my prayer is for wisdom and discernment at this time for everyone involved right now. And for Michael, I pray that God provides justice and retribution (for His Glory for what God says in Psalms 37). And, I also pray that God restores Michael's name and dignity. I say this because I am a firm believer that God protects His own and it is apparent that Michael was and is His.

Jermaine, keep up the good work. You will be rewarded for your efforts. But if you need any uplifting and support just read what Michael's fans have to say about him. Though he was your brother and you knew him better than all of us, I believe that our feelings towards Michael can give you the support you need to go forward with your plans. We love you, your family, and Michael. I think I could say this on behalf of all of Michael's fans – WE LOVE MICHAEL – TRULY- even though we are strangers. And, through our love we are all family. We are all one human race. There is no color, distance, age, time, or any other factor that makes any of us different. Michael taught us that. Together we can change this world and together we can keep Michael's legacy, dreams, desires, wishes, and hopes alive.

Though Michael is not with us, I too know, in my heart, that he is safe and at peace in the love and arms of The Lord. And one day, Jermaine, we will all get to see Michael again.

Dear Jermaine,
Thank you. This article is beautiful.
I am glad that you have highlighted Michael's humanitarian side, which I think has been greatly overlooked by the press.
We miss Michael terribly. I am glad to hear that you plan to spread Michael's message.
I look forward to hearing more from you on Larry King Live tomorrow.
All the best to you and your family.
Annette

Thank you Jermaine. We are all behind you. I am all tears from reading your article. Last night I started reading the Aprodite Jones book when everyone was asleep because I didn't want anyone see me crying. It is painful for me to admit my indifference for the past 10 years and I am so sorry that it took Michael's death for me to realize how much he meant to me. My 11, 8 and 4 year olds are actually new MJ fans and they all have their favorite MJ songs. Michael's music will live on. He will never be forgotten.

Thank you Jermaine, for all your saying about. I can't stop my tear from dropping down on reading your words. I'm sure, I myself become much better after listening to MJ music...
Thank you MJ, again and again

Great article shedding more light on who Michael really was, a kind natured man with a good soul and big caring heart. I think this poem below by Mother Theresa(also a Virgo like Michael) sums up his life.

Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Thank you Jermaine from the bottom of my heart. This so touching and sad at the sam time. It is truely a same that the media was so bias; they focused on spreading lies and made up stories instead of the truth about your brother. Micheal Jackson was sent to us by GOD . He was an exemplar to what a true human being should be. He cared about people and the planet. He was precious to us. He gave so much of himself and it still wasn't enought for some. I still cry because I miss him so much. Micheal was a compassonate human being with a big heart. I am happy that you are letting these sick people who hated him for nothing know the truth that was never told. May God guide you and bless for continuing legacy. You are truely a saint. My hat is off to you. Thanks for that beautiful tribute to your brother at his memorial. God bless and keep you and you family

Thank you Larry King for broadcasting the positive, and for giving us the an opportunity to see the truth. I never believe the lies anyway. Thanks again.

God welcome you with open arms and now you are safe and have abundance of love. You are at peace. Forever Love You Michael Jackson!!!

Jermaine, thank you letting the world know about Michael's other mission in life, making the world a better place by truly caring very deeply and acting upon it, yet so humble at the same time. Your brother inspired me to join the Heal the World foundation, to keep his legacy alive and help others who need it. He was a very special human being, with a Godgiven gift and talent.
I pray for you and your family.
MJ RIP

my condolences to the Jackson family.dear Jermaine your mission is the mission of all fans in the world. Michael gave us the hope for a better world.Please try hard to explain to the people that Michael IS a wonderful man, he says "before you judge me, try hard to love me " love from Italy

Well said Jermaine!!! I couldn't have said it any better. I always understood Michael. He was truely a gift that everyone has taken for granted. I will miss him and we love him forever!!!!! Good Luck Jermaine and My Prayers are with the whole Jackson family. Stay strong!!!!!!

I'm glad Jermaine expressed what he believed was the true Michael Jackson. I truly believe Michael is a person with a very big heart. Unfortunately, the press would like to dissect on people's lives and sensationalized false information and make them appear real without respect to anybody. I have a video of what happened behind the scenes of Michael's trial and I wish the person who created that video will present it to the public and open the eyes of many. I always believe Michael is innocent and people are milking him for his money or as what once the reporter said Michael was like ATM machine to many people around him. Michael deserves to be recognized, probably like Nobel Peace Prize, for all his humanitarian works. God bless your soul Michael and may you rest in peace now! May God continue to bless and protect your children, Prince, Paris and Blanket together with your mother. God bless you too Jermaine.

Jermaine,
Thank you for informing us about the good deeds of Michael.
There was always something so sincere about Michael Jackson. I believe Michael felt the worlds pain and it weakened him. He knew he was doing what he needed to do to make a difference. Make no mistake he made a difference all over the world.

My mom died seven years ago, and the pain I felt for her is the pain I feel for the lost of Michael. No one has ever been able to prove anything negative about Michael. He was an angel. What Michael did not understand is when there is that much of good in a person the devil is always near.

Jermaine, if your misson is to spread Michael's message than please do. Everyone needs to remember that there was more to Michael's life. He tried to make us aware through song.

To the Jackson family;

An ounce of your tear is a pound of sorrow.
My heart is broken.

Jermaine, thank your heartfelt words about your brother Michael. I miss him so much, no I never met your brother Michael, but it was always nice to know that he existed somewhere on this earth. I did understand Michael as a man of substance, compassion, dignity and love. He was truly very special. As the days pass us along the way, I will always remember Michael. Right now as you and the rest of the Jackson family feel too, I am heart broken. Jermaine you wrote this so eloquently and all I have left to write is THANK YOU.

That is beautiful Jermaine. I have been thinking about how Michael loved everyone on this planet. i saw an interview he did in the late 80s and I could see the burden that he was carrying. It was obvious in his eyes. He was happy but very pensive and one could tell he wanted to do more than just entertain, which he enjoyed doing. So sorry for you and your family's loss.

Michael Jackson was special. His life on earth was not in vain. He will be missed. RIP MJ!

Some would go to this blog under a MJ topic and expect us to talk about non-MJ, or complaining there are too many MJ coverage. It's like going to a shopping mall and complain that why there are so many shops around?

I guess they just wanted to move on and find a next target to attack, like they had done so with MJ.

ADAM, are you talking from your own experience, you sound a real expert to me. Time to grow up and be a real man, instead of attacking a dead man who are loved by so many people. I bet you are craving for a tiny love MJ is receiving worldwide. Pathetic!

Speaking of his songs, if anyone has the CD Invincible, listen to "Speechless". It is beautiful and you will surely cry. I cry everytime I hear it.

I know he wrote this, as he did all his songs from inspirations. I wounder who inspred this one for him?

Beautiful!! Just listen to the words!

LOL,
Cindy Hughes

Jermaine
I am so sorry about your loss.I know it is difficult.I lost my mother a yr.ago.

JERMAINE,

YOUR BROTHER MICHAEL WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU!

I HAVE WATCHED YOU IN INTERVIEWS AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE THE CLOSEST PERSON TO SEE THROUGH MICHAEL'S EYES.

IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE MICHAEL'S VISION WILL GO ON.

I WISH THE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD...... HAD HALF THE LOVE MICHAEL HAD IN HIS HEART... WHAT A MUCH BETTER PLACE IT WOULD BE FOR YOU AND ME!!!!

Jermaine, I am thrilled that you decided to take on this new mission and pick up where Michael left off. A true Testament of brotherhood.

I pray for your strength in God, who will renew it every morning for his Glory and Honour.

I am so sure that Michael received a Hero's welcome when he arrived in Heaven, and with no doubt I know the first words spoken to Michael were "Well done my good and faithful servant".

Dear Jermaine,

I am terribly sorry for your family's loss; however, I do not completely believe your words. Sadly, I didn't think Michael was weird, but I did think for a while that La Toya was simply because she spoke out about the abuse you all suffered in a way that was entirely public and seemingly for purely economically advantageous reasons. With time, I came to realize that speaking out about this subject for both her and MIchael was extremely difficult while you and and the rest of your siblings remained silent. I even heard you excuse the incredible abuse of your father by saying "it was another time". No, Jermaine. Had you really wanted to be the "man in the mirror", you might have stood by your brother and sister and spoken out. True, Michael wanted to illuminate the world's problems through his music and tours, but he also wanted the world to acknowledge his own pain–pain that was clear the rest of your family was denying.

Yet, he continued to hold the economic burden for your family as you and your family pushed him to reunite with the Jacksons, to tour and record–two things Michael did not want to do. While I am sure you and your family loved him dearly, you also contributed to his downfall in a quite selfish way: you commodified your brother, looking to him for money and finacial security. This was his job since childhood and I do not see evidence in your family's history of anyone taking pause and saying, "Let's leave Michael alone to live his life." He was constantly feeling the pressure to pay your bills and tour (so that you could feel like you were actually paying your bills). He was allowed no autonomy, he was given little love in his life by your family. Attention, managing his tours and showing up to Joe Jackson or Katherine Jackson day is not love. These are obligations that most humans do out of guilt. Love would have been evidenced by you and your brothers taking on jobs, taking over helping your parents economically...in short, relieving Michael of a lifelong burdon he had of supporting a dozen adults, and their children .

So if you really want to show us that Michael's life and message had an impact on you, show the world by burying your brother, ending this canibalistic economic savery of his life and where to make more money in his death, speak out about the child abuse you experienced, and get your own careers going on your own merit.

In short, put your brother, finally, to rest.

Jermaine, thank you for this words and your intentions.

I still miss Michael and tears come to my eyes everytime I hear his voice.

I hope the world will realize what a great human being Michael was and how much love was in his heart for all living on this planet.

Jermaine and all family, you are in my prayers,
Varja

Jermaine: I am heart broken over the loss of Michael. I can only imagine your pain. How blessed you were to have him in your life. He was a remarkable human being and I thank God every day for His creation of Michael. I know that you will hold on to all of his goodness and pray it will over power the bad things that are being said. He is a true gift from God. And I thank you for keeping his legacy alive.

Jermaine, thank you for expressing what Michael believed in. When my mother was alive she use to always say, "I wish these people would leave Michael alone". Still while he's with God they chose to say things that I believe in my heart are not true. On 6/24/09 my 16 yr old daughter was adding one of Michaels songs to her ring tones. This struck me as odd because young kids are in to rap music. Then the next day our world was turned upside down. Now I find myself collecting everything Michael and the Jacksons have created to explain to her what music is about and how your family sang songs with love and meaning. I'm still struggling with sadness that Michaels gone. I wish this world would have dealt him a better deal and not have been so cruel. Michael deserved so much more, so much more. At this point it's up to the Jackson family to see that his legacy lives on.

I am sure if you look you could find another subject besides Michael Jackson. He has been dead almost a month now and you still are very obsessed with this subject. Enough is enough find another subject to drive into the ground!

JERMAINE,

IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU CELEBRATE MICHAEL'S LIFE THROUGH HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

I think we should all wear an armband on our right sleeve on Michael's birthday Aug. 29 just like he always did to bring awareness to the suffering children in the world

Please let us know how we can help to spread Michael’s message.
I hope that Michael knew that his fans always supported and loved him no matter what!
He has inspired me to be the best I can be for everyone I come into contact with and for those I'll never know! What a legacy Michael Jackson!

Michael is the only person I ever cried for by his passing, but never met. His was a bigger part of my life than I realized, that is until he was gone. I guess it is true what they say, you don't know what you have until it's gone. We'll never have another Michael Jackson in our lifetime, but we should be thankful we enjoyed MJ while he was here with us. Michael is definitely in a much better place, a place he has earned through his kindness and generosity. Rest in peace, King Of Pop.

Thank you Romi for sharing some of the charities that were dear to Michael's heart. WHAT AN EXCEPTIONAL HUMAN BEING MICHAEL JACKSON WAS. HE WAS TRUELY MAGNIFICENT!!! HIS LIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE BRIGHTLY.

THERE SHOULD BE A SHOW DEDICATED TO MICHAEL JACKSON'S WORK AND CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY.

Thank You, Jermaine.....You remind me of Michael!..I think the two of you are a lot alike!!!...You're doing your brother such justice!..He would be so pleased! Blessings

Jermain,

Keep hope alive!!

Thank You, Romi, for the info on Michael's charities.

Jermaine it's a fantastic tribute to Michael that you are willing to pursue his issue concerning humanitarian efforts. Michael's wish to make the World a better place can continue through your voice. May you continue with success in this endeavor. I know Michael has that beutiful Smile on his face. Everyone needs to know who Michael was and not the person the media portrayed to the public. I know those that rallied against Michael, by using false accusations to gain monetary and political gain, will be dealt a losing hand when facing the real Judge of mankind. "Those who have not sin, may you cast the first stone" is a quote that those who tried to destroy him need to ponder upon. I really would have liked to visit Michael's Memorial in Neverland, but it is my understanding that he will be laid to rest at Forrest Lawn. My deepest sympathy goes out to Prince, Paris, Blanket and your entire family. You are in my Prayers. May Michael finally find the Peace that he so much deserved in life. RIP MJ!

Jermaine, Thank you so much for getting the strong message out of what Michael was really about. Michael should have been able to enjoy his life so much more without the terrible criticisms and misconceptions. The media seemed to be so cruel with him through the latter years of his life and that is what I find so unfair.
You are supposed to reap what you sow and Michael sowed so much happiness and love through his music, and with his enormous charity donations. He did what he wrote in his music, try to make this world a better place.
I pray now the media will only concentrate on all of the many positive things that Michael did instead of all of the bad publicity that a lot of times is just heresay.
My hearts and prayers go out with the family because I too have lost my 22 year old son, Michael and I miss him so intensely every day and I know what it is like to have someone there that you love so much one day and the next day they are gone.
Let us give the family some peace and love and show the Mom gratitude for raising such an awesome son like Michael.

dear jermaine, thanks a lot for sharing the memories of your dear brother with us. for past few months i am going through a trying time in my personal life. and at those weak moments when i become anxious and skeptic and frustrated with the world i know, the very thought of your brother's life and his spirit gives me strngth and hope.

if michael jackson even after being michael jackson had to endure so much humiliation from people, who were not worthy enough even to realize his personality not to mention his music, how can we say "can't take anymore"?
dear michael, you will always remail a precious jewel in my heart.

Dear Jermaine,
Your blog about you brother is very profound. Michael was a GIFT to ALL of us and Michael's gift of LOVE will live on. It will live on through his Beautiful children, through his mother, through his siblings, through his music, and through all that he did to promote LOVE while he was on this earth... I am so happy that you will continue to spread Michaels message to the world, as each and everyone that loved Michael should choose to do. Each day it is a choice that each and everyone of us face. If we want to make this world a better place, it starts with US!!! I have been up at Neverland often as I live close by and sometimes just go up to feel the peace and Michael's spirit is ALWAYS present...I take many photos at night and the orbs in my photos are amazing, it is Magical at night. Thank you for keeping your brothers LOVE ALIVE! Stay Blessed

JERMAINE,

I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY THERE WILL BE A THEATER NAMED IN HONOR OF MICHAEL JACKSON.... MICHAEL LOVED THE STAGE!!!!!

MICHAEL COULD PERFORM LIKE NOBODY ELSE AND I MEAN NOBODY!!!!!

Finally someone has been able to say this publicly and be heard not just "ok yes he was good, but what about the surgeries and the pills?"

Thank you Jermaine for that mission, wasn't sure on which side you were, but happy to see you're on the right one.

We miss Michael like crazy, the world is sad without him, I hope he's in peace and happy. I love him so much.

You go Jermaine, spread the message!!!!!!! The world has to know finally! Looking foward to see you on Friday!

I am from Puerto Rico I have been watching every thing. Here we loved very much Michael and we always will. All I can say is that God as a propuse for all of us Don't you think Jermaine? God bless us all

Dear Jermaine,
It is so important that you continue Michael's mission so that people can understand exactly the purpose of his life's dedication to the world.
I sincerely support you and so proud of you for doing that.

Thank you Jermaine for expressing what I have felt all along. It was so clear (to me) that Michael was on a mission, and he was using his music as a platform to reach out to as many people as possible. He could have very well been the second coming.....
He was very pure in his humanitarian work. Perhaps now more emphasis can be put on his good deeds, and less on controversial side issues, which are of no relevance.
Certain elements of society were intent on persecuting Michael no matter what. Since he can no longer be ridiculed, his good work must be recognized. Sign the petition to have him awarded the Nobel Peace prize posthumously.
It would be useful if the UN would recognize Michael for the work he did in Africa, Far East and South America. If all the people in the rest of the world would recognize Michael's good work, perhaps he will eventually get the recognition he deserves in the U.S.
I though we would have to wait for his children to take over his good work, so I'm glad we don't have to wait that long.
Good luck and know that you have many supporters.

Mrs Chandan Coverley,

Thank you so much for the link to MJ's video. Of all bad journalists who create stories to sell about celebrity, Martin Bashir is the worst and the most unethical journalist I have seen. Having said nice things to the man he interviewed to his face, then twisted and said differently on TV – I just can't believe it.

MARTIN BASHIR IS NOT EVEN A HUMAN BEING. A DOG COULD TREAT ITS KIND MUCH BETTER.

JERMAINE,

THERE WILL BE NO "STAR" TO SHINE BRIGHTER THAN MICHAEL!!!!

Jermaine,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us!

I think it's great that you've chosen to carry the torch for your brother, I believe Michael would love that. I hope that we the FanFamily can play a role in helping you with your mission in some way. Like maybe another Heal the World charitable type of organization in Michael's name that we can ALL be a part of.

I would be happy and honored to help, in any way that I can.

Keep The Faith & God Bless you and your entire family.
Sincerely,
Monica

BTW when are you gonna get back in the studio??? (Smile)

I am from Puerto Rico I have been watching every thing. Here, we loved very much Michael and we always will. All I can say is that God has a propuse for all of us Don’t you think Jermaine? God bless us all

Jermaine – as I had stated on my own personal FB – I truly believe God gave him a Talent to help unite the WORLD. And our nation – US – comdemned him for being a gentle caring soul and because he wasn't the 'adult' SOCIETY told him he needed to be. he was caring and loving and People made his life horrible. God sent and Angel to us and we did nothing but see the Evil because we truly are an Evil people. He is making music from the Heavens now. May God give your family strength and the wisdom to continue Michael's love.

Thank you Jermaine for being there for my Michael. Michael thanks you for everything. God be with you all. And may the Good Lord bless you all. Love you all. Rememberto hug the children for Michael every nite.
I miss Michael so much! But he's with Father now. Michael is gone back home.
HIS SOUL RESTS IN PERFECT UNINTERRUPTED JOYOUS DESERVING PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jermaine and the Jackson Family,

There are so many of us who have seen your brother through the TV screen and listened through the radio for our entire lives. He is above and beyond 'TALENT' and his death is a tragedy.

Your family has exhibited such grace at this time. That is an inspiration. Michael was and will continue to be an inspiration.

As much as we all want to indulge in MJ media to satisfy the loss we are feeling...let's let it go and let his family live on in privacy and peace.

Libby

Jermain,
My question is How do you cope with this loss?i'm typing this and i still can't stop crying.i'm thousands of miles away and i can't bear it.I love Michael as a person more than a personality.
every time I see his smiling face I start crying.I still haven't come across a human being who has a pure innocent open smile like his.
I want to help you to continue Michael's mission. Pls tell me how?

I am from Curacao, a island in the Carribbean. We here all know of Michael Jackson. I have loved Michael Jackson and I will forever. At moments I have dreamed of to invite MJ to come visit or live on our island. (now maybe his children can come someday. I hope so.
I thought he was taken good care of. I can not overcome his death and feel very very sad about it.
Michael was a really special man in this world.

Germaine, Keep doing what you are doing. Never give up and make the legacy of MJ bigger and everlasting.

God bless you and your family.

what a wonderful blog Jermaine! God bless you and your family and it's so true about michael's mission in life and it was truely well accomplished. I know that he is enjoying paradise at the moment and he will be forever in our hearts:))

What a great man, he loved the world with all his heart, it was an unconditional love and he really wanted to heal it, stop wars and destruction and have people find a common ground in love and goodness and sharing !

Michael, you were too good for this world, for the people here, for the decadence of the community around us. You are finally up with the angels, where you belong, may you RIP ! We will do our best to carry on your love and selflessness and teach it to our little ones.

We want justice for MJ!!! You have our support Jermaine!!!

LKL please help bring justice for MJ. We are counting on you.

From million of MJ's fans in the Philippines

Dear Jermaine,
As you said, Michael was a loving and compassionate man. He came into this world to bring love and happiness and he succeeded.
Unfortunately, some people misunderstood him and behaved without shame.
It's too unfair!
He was the greatest performer and entertainer. His soul was even more beautiful. I hope all those who betrayed and took advantage of his kindness, will be punished.
Michael didn't deserve to be ill-treated, he was a wonderful man.
I will always love him...RIP beloved Michael.

jermaine, what is the best memory you have of michael?

I would just like to say that I hae loved Michael for years I grew up on his music. If everyone would sit down and listen to the words in his music you would understand what Michael Jackson was all about and what he was trying to do in the world. His music explains it. I would also like to say to Jermaine my heart is hurting for his children and your whole family. May god bless you for what you are doing to carry out and fullfill what Michael was trying to do. Like I said if people would listen to the words of his music then maybe the world would be a better place. My blessings and prayer's are with you. Myra

GOOD writing. Thanks so much, I once again cried!!! I feel I lost a wonderful friend and a true friend. I miss him everyday, I enjoyed him so much, my kids grew up with him and he is dearly missed.

I knew that Michael had a good heart just from his music and for beind a fan for 29 years.
Thanks Jermaine and take care of your brother´s legacy , a legacy of peace and care for others.

I can't even tell you how much Michael's death has affected my life. I feel as though I am the only one who knew who he really was, and accepted him as such. I wish I could have known him while he was here on earth but I will tell you I talk to him every night. I knew what a fabulous person he was, never believing a negative word about him, not even now. I still cry every day. I miss him so much.

The HUMANITARIAN in him has encouraged me to do more now then before. He was and still is the most beautiful person in the world.

I have been a Jackson fan all my life. I had a crush on Michael, like many others, from back in the day. I get angry when people speak ill of him, especially now.

When I see MJ or hear his voice, I get choked up. Alot of memories surface and it hurts me so. I feel that MJ and I had so much in common with the "abuse". I understand him so much that I wish I could have told him in person, instead it's in spirit. I still wish I had an "escape" route as he did.

Some reports state that MJ forgave your father and that they became close again and I hope that is true. MJ felt that whatever was happening to him was abuse and in his eyes it was and no one should tell him any different. I pray that he did not pass w/o he and his father at best opening up and discussing. Joe constantly denies the abuse, no taking any responsibility at all. There are too many Jackson's telling the same abuse story.

I wish I could give you the biggest hug you have ever had. Even though it's been over a month it hurts as if it was yesterday that I lost my "main man in the mirror" but I gained a guardian angel....believe that!

MJ is looking down and taking care of his family. He sees and hears everything and trust me when I say that he is sad...extremley sad. I feel his tears roll down my face every time we talk. (Those of you who read this may think I am crazy, and frankly I don't care)! He knows he is still loved by all and he will continue to shine and be the brightest light you have ever seen.

Jermaine, I promised Michael that we will get whomever it is who is responsible for his tragic death. I plan to keep that promise.

My love for MJ will forever be and no matter what happens he will always and forever be the love of my life. My prayers go out to you and your family and it will get better in time, we will all heal and I trust we will remember MJ for whom he was, a person with feelings, before anything else.

Much love to you all. XXOO

Jermaine, thank you for the mission you're about to embrace. Although I'm a fan to Michael's music, the most important thing is His message. Unfortunately the world always mistreats their best souls. And I ask those who are pretending Michael's not an important issue, what's more important than LOVE? The only thing we'll take with us is the good and the bad deeds we've done in this world, and I truly believe that LOVE his the only way to make the world a better place to live in. We should all stand up for spreading and follow His message. I've learned so much from the videos I've been watching you act as a father. Thank You so much for all the love and talent you gave us.
I won't forget You ever. You were the most brilliant and eclectic entertainer, and an example we should follow in our own lifes. P.S.: sorry if there's some mistakes in this message, but I'm portuguese.

I am so very proud of you and your family for standing tall in the mist of so much trouble and controversay. I have a very close family and it is nothing greater, or more powerful than unity. Keep showing the world how we do it! I miss Michael like he was my family.

Jermaine, thank you so much for the beautiful thoughts of Michael and the real man he was. Even now, 6 weeks after his passing, I still see too many negative stories from certain networks, members of the press and the tabloids... just looking for the tiniest tidbit of negative about him to exploit. What a shame, seems they learned nothing.

I will always be a Michael believer (fan if you will) I love Michael for ALL he was… not what the media tries to force feed me daily. I did learn the importance of caring and understanding and acceptance from Michael.

I think about him every day, and I miss him. May he rest in peace.

Thank you Jermaine. Michael was a peacefull Human. He was Not a threat to the Humanity, he was a blessing for the world. The world have to understand, if someone needs help we have to give. The people next to us and everywhere in the world.

Jermaine,

I am so glad you are speaking out, it is about time people start knowing and loving Michael for all he has done in this hateful world. People really need to step back and look in the mirror like th song says. I bet they would be pretty quiet after that. Michael is in a much better place and finally can have the world he always wanted sitting up in Heaven.

Michael is a very special amazing human being. He touched many people dearly.

This is beautiful. Michael Jackson is such a delicate, beautiful soul. May he rest in peace.

Jermaine....THANK YOU! I am close to tears again.

You said what needs to be said about Michael...what the rest of the world, the ones who refuse to open their eyes and look past the sensationalism, needs to hear.

Thank you. Before Michael passed I was not aware of all of the charities that he helped. I just turned 15 on June 25th, so I grew up hearing all of these really stupid rumors. Naturally, I believed them, but now, I've watched a lot of videos of him and it is obvious that he was a very genuine person. The kind of genuine that can't be faked. It is almost impossible to believe that this is the same person that the media made up to be a total inhumane monster. He makes me want to be a better person. I want to help in any way that I can. Thank you for carrying out Michael's message.

Jermaine,
You are an awesome brother. You keep us reminded that Michael was indeed your little brother. You were speaking up for him positvely throughout his down days and you still continue to be a most uplifting voice on his behalf. We can't help but love you and support you in your mission to continue Michael's dream. Being orphaned at a young age and only having a big brother throughout my life to look to and depend on only make me believe that Michael looked up to and admired you in an extra special way. You, I believe had a special place in his heart that noone else could dwell.
You are Blessed to succeed and Prevail. Stay encouraged.

Jermaine,

I would like to thank you for the tears I am crying this very moment. The very essence of your brother was that you spoke of and so much more... much so that all he did shall never be know but to GOD.

Thank you for sharing a profound glimpse into the true intentions of your brother's heart. mind and soul. I know that this world meant a lot to it and he believed in taking care of the inhabitants on it (young and old).

I pray the joy and love Mike had in his heart is NEVER forgotten by those who truly knew and loved him. Steadfast in your mission from this point forward to do God's work for ALL of his children.

Peace & Blessings,

Chica

Jermain and Larry,

My full being wants to know how to help you. How can I get involved? What can I do? When do you start whatever is the first phase of the mission? Let's get this thing started for Michael and everyone else he was dedicated to helping.

Jermaine, thank you for sharing the truth about Michael. Unfortunately it was his death that made people stop and take stock in all that he did during his short time on Earth. I never met him, but I could always tell the person he was by the truth he gave to all of his work. He truly will live forever through the gifts he gave to all of us. I know that his death has shown me that we cannot judge others. One can never know what another feels unless we walk in his shoes. I feel sure that Michael is now at peace. Please keep in touch with all of us through your continued mission. Teach his children about their father every day. They were blessed to have such a loving and giving father.

Jermaine isn't saying anything new. People who loved the real Michael, the man behind the icon, knew what a great soul he had. I am glad that the entire world is discovering Mike's real face, but I am sad this is happening too late. Maybe they will understand why WE loved him and appreciated him so much when he was alive. I hope they will have the dignity to apologize for every single mean and untrue statement they made, for the names they called him and for the pain they caused him. They buried him!
Hopefully humanity will learn a lesson from this tragedy – treat the heroes with respect before they cross the line to eternity. No tear or pain can bring them back.
As far as I am concerned I would like Mr. Jermaine and all Jackson family to know that Michael's work was not in vain, his voice was heard WE are following you in OUR new mission.

Peace, Love and Respect!

Your words are so true. Thank you so much.

I am glad M.j.'s brother is bringing this side of Michael to everyones attention.I look forward to fridays show, and continue to pray for Michaels family.

Jermaine,

My prayers go out to you and the entire Jackson Family. I can't express how much Michael's death has affected me. I feel so much anger over what the Press did to Michael and I look for ways to right the wrongs. I got involved with blogs set up to expose the Press but nothing seems to make it better.

That is the part of humanity that I have a hard time understanding. Why do the good ones get ridiculed? Michael was one of the good ones and you are right Jermaine Michael now has everlasting Peace. He was Angel. God Bless Him.

Crying, yet again, over the poignancy of Michael's untimely passing. I'm just a speck of sand who admired and cherished him from afar. I cannot begin to fathom the depth of loss you, Jermaine, and those who were close to him are experiencing.

Thank you for reminding us what Michael was all about. We were so blessed to have him with us for that blink of time, like Haley's Comet. I'm so glad I was around to witness him and to feel his legacy.

Jermaine, we all miss your brother, in fact we are still in shock because of his death!! I am really sorry for his children.

Jermaine, what do you think about Michael´s postulation for the 2010 Nobel Prize on Internet??

God bless you Michael. I will always love you!!! Thanks for all the joy you gave us! Every time I listen your music and watch your videos I remember my youth and the great moments I lived. Thank you!! I love you.

Thank you so much for this wonderful article. Finally something is being published about Michael Jackson's humanitarian efforts. I saw a TV show on MTV last weekend called "Michael Jackson's Human Nature." It talked about this very thing and the kind of guy MJ was.

One of the concert promoters he worked with during his Bad tour, and he said as soon as they stepped off the plane Michael asked him if he wanted to go straight to the hotel or if he wanted to go to the orphanage with him. The guy went to the orphanage with him. When they got there he said conditions at the orphanage were pretty bad. They went around, MJ interacted with the kids and he spoke to one of the other promoters that were there with him. They whispered back and fourth to each other. Basically MJ said he wanted things to turn around at the orphanage. He wanted new beds, clean sheets and more staff caring for the kids and he wanted things turned around within 24 hrs or he would not go on stage to perform. Only MJ could do that!

I found a website that lists all of Michael's humanitarian deeds throughout his solo career and it's 13 pages long! None of this is being talked about in the media. They are all hell bent on making MJ out to be a depressed lunatic when clearly he wasn't. I know how this is affecting them as it has affected me as well. Michael has legions of fans all over the world and we're taking Michael's death just as hard as his family is. My prayers are with you, Jermaine along with the rest of the family and Michael's children. I pray you find the peace and justice you all deserve from this. I will continue to spread Michael's message of love as he did when he was with us.

Jermaine,

Thank you....
Thank you for this well put description of your brother and his mission. Micheal has done so much, for so many people and WE ALL appreciate it. As angela wrote up above, I too feel as though I knew who he was. I understood him. From his music to his good deeds.. They corresponded... Together in Harmoney, just like he mentioned time and time again. How many of us actually think about others before we think of ourselves. Michael was a true blessing.

I love your brother so much. I wish I could have gotten the chance to look him in the eyes and say "On behalf of the world " Thank you" "Thank you for everything"

Michael was a very strong man, and I admire him for that. Thru all the pain and struggles he still managed to keep his composure.
God has blessed him with so many gifts and I am glad that I was put on this earth at this time to experience your brother Michael Jackson.

I am so inspired to do more....and I will .....Your brothers life has moved me in such a way that my whole out look on life has chaged.

Thanks again Jermaine.... and be blessed

Michael I love you....and I always will.

Jermain,

I would like to say that Michael, to me, was one of the most loving, caring, generous, and talented people to walk this earth. He used his gift for nothing but good and showed us that we can all make a difference. Michael will forever be missed and I am hoping that through you, the rest of his family, and his fans that his legacy will live on forever. Such a beautiful person can not be easily forgotten and I appreciate that you are showing every critic the good that was in Michael.

How are you planning on carrying on his legacy? Will you be touring, doing shows? If so, will you be doing any in America?

However you choose to show the world another side of Michael, that I already know existed, i'm sure you will do a wonderful job. Keep up the good work and stay strong. God Bless.

Kristy Lynn

Yes. Michael was a great and loving person. He was a great person who showed others the love the Lord said we should show one another. I will forever miss him dearly. I pray for the Jackson family and his children and I know that Michael is with our Father in Heaven and he can finally rest and enjoy those around him.

Michael was a gift from God and used his talents in selfless ways, there will never be another like him! He will never be forgotten, and the hundreds of millions of dollars he donated publicly and privately will never go to waste.

Dear Jermaine,

It's exactly 3am here in Manila, and I thank you for finding the time to write and share the other side of Michael. He is forever gone, but your "blog" is an indication that an ending gives a way for a new chapter to begin. Michael has fulfilled his job here on earth and it seems to me now, through the inspiration of his music that it is our turn to do our share, to reach out a helping hand to those who are in need. Today is another dawn without Michael but a new beginning to to continue what he has started.

"How can someone who gave so much, be the subject of so much hate?" – I am also asking this question to myself, but then I realized that as we grow old, people are apt to throw you brickbats, instead of flowers...stones, instead of bread, just exactly the way some did to Michael. I do not want to sound biased but just like you, I was also raised to believe that there is a Supreme Being, which means that despite the imperfections of being human, which at times lead us to create a mistake, people by nature is good at heart. Why then, despite of Michael's imperfection can we not see the good things that he has done? All his life, I saw him spent his days making others happy. I wasn't given the chance to know him personally but I am those many who was blessed to be cheered and inspired by him.

Michael was once a blessing to the world, now, it's his turn to receive his blessing from God. A reward of never ending happiness and eternal life for all the good and beautiful things that he has done.

Jermaine, thank you for sharing your brother to us. To many, he is an icon, but for me, it doesn't end there, because he is an inspiration for me to think of what I can do to make this world a better place.

God bless your family!

Hi Jermaine, i just cant help but cry and think how can i also help to spread Michael's message i also dont want to feel hatred to those people who ridiculed him in the past, because i know that not what Michael wants. Growing up with Michael Jackson's music has been the best thing that ever happened to my life

Dear Jermaine
It is a great loss for all of us. I just told an old lady (94 yrs) that Michael is gone and she took that quite badly remembering the shy little boy that we used to see on tele during the Jackson 5 years. We were waiting for Michael's return on the stage and my daughter of 11 was only beginning to discover his music. So yes, he touched the hearts of 3 generations. Today's problem is not just economy but ecology and until we do something about it man will always remain ignorant of what's going on. United we must stand and stop destruction in any parts of the world. Forests are burning because of greed. Beings and animals tortured because of hatred. We must make it a better place for you and for me!!! Music is magic and his message in his music was an inspiration for all of us

Oh good grief – the Jackson family for the most part are a bunch of publicity hounds. Michael was a miserable soul, it was obvious. In the last 10 or more years of his life he tried to change himself into everything from Diana Ross to Micky Mouse. He did not even want children of his own race. He was not a saint – he was a troubled, sad person. Now that he is dead everyone is singing his praises – how quickly we forget that it was not very long ago he was accused of child molestation – even settling one of those cases. He has been a joke in the media and press for years but now that he is dead, "oh he was great". He was just a weirdo with lots of money.

Jermaine:

Thank you for reminding us what an amazing human being your brother was.

In all the hype it gets forgotten – that he was first and foremost – A HUMAN BEING. A father, a brother, a son, an uncle, – then – he belonged to the rest of the WORLD.

May your family, and his beautiful children find the healing and the peace they seek by continuing his legacy.

"Smile, even though your heart is breaking..."

Blessings,

I am convinced that many people took advantage of Michael. For instances, now after his death many "friends" talk about him, his life, and even his feelings. How do they dare to do it?? How they know about his feeelings and thoughts.

Before Michael died nobody cared about him, nobody talked about him, he was called "Jacko" and many people mocked about him. It´s too sad that now after he passed away, everybody comes up with remarkable things about him. Why they didn´t say good things when he was alive, instead of that many people destroyed him.

However, for us, who really love him, who grew up with Thriller, Billy Jean, Beat It, etc, etc,etc, he will always be an angel, an artist, and mostly a great human being.

I LOVE YOU MICHAEL, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!!

Jermaine.. i must confess i really dont know how to let go of Micheal..God help me i really dont know how.. i cry everyday 4 Micheal...

Ever since his passing, Micheals music rings in my mind, my being.. it hurts soooo much.. i dont know when if ever i get over Micheals loss.. Its now that i FULLY understand Janets song- u never know wat uve got till its gone.
I am 31 and have loved Micheal all my life, always will... ALWAYS!!!

jermaine, thinking back on your days as a member of the Jackson 5 what was your best memory as a Jackson 5?

Michael was doing what love best help all the US n nation n he did very well job up it n I do miss help very much. God help guide Michael to right things n everyone have Joy n Happiness WE still love Michael will never be forgot either. Love Beverly

Thank you so much Jermaine for sharing,
this was and will forever be the reason why I love(d) Michael...

He was the most unselfish human being and he gave so much!!
He gave comfort and love through his music, magic through his dancing and hope and inspiration through his "Magic Kingdom".

I feel blessed to have been part of the Michael Jackson generation, and now passing on His Legacy to my 2,5 year old child who's singing 'Beat it' on a daily basis and dancing along with every MJ song...

He truly did nothing but GOOD!!!
Bless Him

Hello Jermaine,
I dont know if you will get this message or not, but I just wanted to say that I have always loved Michael ever since I was a little girl. I remember I would run home from school to catch the scream video on video soul or mtv. I never ever for second beleived that Michael had a bad bone in his body. I really see him as a real good role model for my generation and generations to come. I always admire him because the media tried so hard to break him but through it all he stayed strong. He always kept on smiling and always kept giving. I dont think no one will ever understand what Michael endure while he was on earth. I really hate that he had to die to be apperciate. He will live on forever and forever. His legacy will leave on and never die. I love Michael some much even my 7 yr old daughter loves Michael.
