      To last as long as he did in the industry, there’s likely a side of him that was probably pretty cutthroat. That’s how he lasted so long; his career wouldn’t have survived if that element wasn’t there. I believe Ms. Mills 100%.

    • @iamcasihart
      @iamcasihart 29 днів тому

      ⁠@@AD-wi4fq Michael Joseph Jackson could absolutely be ruthless and cutthroat, particularly in business. That is how he so unexpectedly bought The Beatles catalogue. No one expected an early 20-something Michael Jackson, with his soft-spoken demeanor to the public, could or dare would pull a big money and business move like that. Paul McCartney thought they were “friends.”
      Michael liked Paul just fine, but he was very clear that it was just business. That’s Joe Jackson’s influence right there, and in that way, I respect it. Joe was not a loving father. He was abusive, for certain. But he is also the reason his children have had successful careers, and why The Jacksons are American royalty.
      Mike had that talent. Mike was, in my opinion, the greatest entertainer of all time. I suspect he was destined for greatness, but I also give credit to Joe for recognizing the talents of his various children and recognizing Michael for having IT- having everything needed for being THE SUPERSTAR. Joe stole Michael’s childhood, and Joe was the cause of so much suffering and trauma in Michael’s life. That is also very clear.
      But by the same token, would Michael have had the profoundly iconic success he enjoyed, had Joe not recognized it and fought hard to get his sons and his family in the right places and position to be heard and seen by a worldwide audience. I have to respect Joe Jackson for that, but otherwise, he was quite a monster. He continued to do bullshit like suing Michael multiple times, looking to live comfortably off of his most successful child. I’m shocked he never sued Janet.

Really just looked at him as genuine good person that was just always so gentle the way he spoke to everybody. That don’t make you a punk at all, you could tell a lot that he was about his business ALWAYS

    I remember an interview from years ago when Stephanie was on Broadway doing The Wiz. Michael just gushed about Stephanie's singing. Then I saw pictures of them in a magazine. I'm not sure if it was Right On! or something else. At any rate, I remember showing my Mother the pictures and saying--this is Michael's girlfriend! No lie! I just felt it and was so delighted years later to hear her speak openly about their relationship. He had a real gem. But it all made sense of why he never claimed their relationship publicly. What a shame. Poor Michael. They should have done at least 1 duet. Oh how I miss him. He always seemed happy to see her in later years when they were televised in the same place.

    I just think you can ask questions about Michael Jackson without making terrible fun of him. Like saying big nose and black Michael or white Michael, etc all while laughing. It's so condescending. Listen to the answer to your question that Stephanie gave about Michael." He was gentle, a gentleman, very kind, loving. I NEVER HEARD HIM SAY A BAD WORD ABOUT ANYONE, I NEVER HEARD HIM TALK DOWN TO ANYONE.." Maybe you and I can learn something from who he really was. The content of his heart. This is what he was running from in the end. The media. You should uphold the integrity of journalism and be respectful brother, Non of us can walk in Michael Jackson's shoes. Give him some respect. This is so sad. You should actually apologize!
