  2. 2

    RIP Mike
    second……!



  3. 3

    Very sad, and very brave for her to take the stage and say those painful words. It is still to hard for me, just a fan, to say the words of his passing. I hope the Jackson family is helped through all our prayers and love. And for those of you who have only negative things to say, please save it for another day, today is just not the right day for your words to pierce already broken hearts.



  4. 4

    R.I.P. Michael…..I love you!



  5. 5

    so sad.. getting me choked up :(



  6. 6

    agh
    but no need to go and say that…



  7. 7

    Hella sad.



  8. 8

    I love Janet my heart goes out to her and the rest of the Jackson family RIP MJ you will be missed



  9. 9

    She looks more effected by the death then their dad, whom is there to promote his stupid company. Shes so sweet, i love her.



  10. 10

    that was really hard to watch…



  11. 11

    I feel so bad for this family. It just goes 2 show what fame does to you and everyone involved. RIP MJ



  12. 12

    OMG that's to be a strong person… I admire her



  13. 13

    Absolutely lovely, I Luv Janet! Strong Lady! R.I.P MJ!



  14. 14

    An articulate and wonderful statement. Joe Jackson stinks though.



  15. 15

    I was very shocked that she attended to make this speech. It takes alot of courage and strenght to do something like Janet has done. R.I.P MJ. And Janet and the rest of the Jacksons, my thoughts and prayers are with you.



  16. 16

    sad :(



  17. 17

    I was in complete shock when I saw Janet come out. It literally brought me to tears just seeing the grieft on her face. It amazes me how she found the strength and courage to speak about her brother and show him the respect he deserved. I was completely disappointed with BET and how they ran this show in a so called "tribute" to Michael. I understand that his death was sudden, but he deserved more respect than what he got, no one wants to hear Jamie Foxx talking about his package being big when he is honoring a man who is forever a legend. Shame on BET and having their award show being completely ghetto and disrespectful to a man who paved the way to all of those artists that were there. May he R.I.P love you always Michael Jackson, forever a legend in my eyes.



  18. 18

    My heart goes out to her and the rest of the Jackson clan!!!!!! R.I.P. MJ =.(



  19. 19

    like him or not, regardless of what he DID or DIDN'T do,Michael J was just as big and influential as the beatles and elvis…..if not more… rip baby! you'll be greatly missed



  20. 20

    truly heartbreaking
    rip michael we love you

  21. - - - says – reply to this


    21

    aw . i feel so bad .



  22. 22

    She seemed devisated :( We all miss him so much….it was far too early for this to happen :(



  23. 23

    she is so VERY brave….seeing her just broke my heart!!…i love janet…and this just made me love her even more!!…when she said "to us michael is family" that broke my heart!!



  24. 24

    Extremely Difficult…so sad all around. Let's remember him for the good he has done for the world, all the other shit doesn't change the FACT that he's now gone and he deserves respect. RIP!



  25. 25

    She seemed very emotional, but is an apperance even appropriate so early?



  26. 26

    Search "Jordan Chandler admits he lied about Michael Jackson" on Google. The boy who accused Michael of molestation is now admitting it was all a lie!!!

    RIP Michael! You will never be forgotten.



  27. 27

    So so so sad. She's a brave girl.



  28. 28

    I was tearing a little bit and seeing her there i was in shock! and joe jackson was there in honor of his son! it was a boring awards show but janet jackson and alicia keys were basically the highlight of the show!



  29. 29

    that was a brave thing she did going up there. so glad she was able to hold herself together.



  30. 30

    OMG



  31. 31

    She looks good.



  32. 32

    She really seems to be suffering. Respect her pain! Love MJ



  33. 33

    This makes me feel better about Joe Jackson attending the ceramony. I breathe a sigh of relief when she said the whole family wanted to attend, but it was too painful. I guess they wanted to honor their brother.



  34. 34

    This is why I LOVE this woman so much! She's so strong! It took a lot of courage just to walk across that stage! I LOVE YOU JANET! All of us (Janet fans) send are condolences to you and your family! I LOVE YOU!



  35. 35

    Search "Jordan Chandler admits he lied about Michael Jackson" on Google. The boy who accused Michael of molestation has now admitted it was all a lie!



  36. 36

    I'm sorry, but I find this very strange. Even from Janet. I know that everyone grieves differently, but wow.

    It's nearly seven months later, and Tom Hanks still can't handle a press junket to promote a movie. That is a more understandable reaction.

    I have no doubt that Janet and the rest of family is in mourning, but I'm sure a few of them are busily trying to figure out whether or not this is a financial boon or bust for them as well.



  37. 37

    Re: koubiak
    that is sooo disrespectful
    you must really have no heart whatsoever
    well your comment was not funny and you should be ashamed of yourself
    that is her brother.
    people forget that he wasn't just a singer he was someones son
    and someones brother
    and someone's father
    and someones uncle



  38. 38

    Thanks Perez I mentioned this is the post about that vile Joe Jackson. Janet was elected by the family to attend the award show that honored Michael Jackson. She said they all wanted to be there but it was too much. The girl had to be carried from the stage. She is wearing all white. A duster pant suit and she look really good but sad who would'nt at the same time. She could not speak for a couple of minutes. I cried. Then they sang a song to Michael his song I'll be there. There was not a dry eye in the audience. Katherine their mother is the backbone of the family not JOE! Janet was not smiling she said she would make it SHORT and she did. This was in the LAST 10 minutes of show. I really feel for that family. But, Joe stayed the entire show. Bad taste! I would have left with my daughter. No wonder Michael had problems. Well he don't now. Joe can never hurt him again. God Speed to that family! Especially his children.



  39. 39

    janet was so brave to show up and speak about her brother…and to see that picture of she and lil mike just broke my heart!!



  40. 40

    This is just so sad…
    RIP michael.



  41. 41

    Janet, like her mother, is a pillar of beauty and strength. I am so proud of BET for their great tribute. I am proud to say I wasn't one of the haters that flipped a 180 when he died. I celebrated Michael's beauty and uniqueness in life and am celebrating it now that he's gone. If there is a heaven, Michael is there happily smiling down at all of us. RIP, MJ, may you finally have the peace you deserve.



  42. 42

    How very sad. I'm sure that was very hard for her to do.



  43. 43

    Janet is as sweet as they come and so incredibly brave for getting up there. Her father is a piece of shit. I hope she rips her father a new one for the way he acted. Love Janet always!



  44. 44

    I don't see why so many people are getting so angry at Perez… are you blind or does his site not say 'hollywood's most hated website'
    you know thats the way he is, the things he says about all celebrities. MJ's death was NOT confirmed at this time, for all any of us knew it was just a stunt! we were proved wrong, but Perez has not said anything horrible since then.
    have a read of all his posts, you absolute knobs.
    he says horrible things about all celebrities COZ HE GETS PAID FOR IT
    grow up.
    you're probably not perfect either.



  45. 45

    i love janet
    she is sooo brave for speaking because she didn't have to
    if my brother just died unexpectedly i probably wouldn't be ready to speak
    in front of people for years
    some people have negative things to say about michael
    but he has affected the lives of sooo many people
    my mom used to play michael everyday and all the time
    i feel like he was a part of my childhood
    and he will always be the king
    no matter what anyone says



  46. 46

    Re: iambored
    holy shit that's so rude. what the fuck. he DIED and i'm sure perez knew he was dead or at least in a coma at the time he wrote that. wow, what an asshole. and yes, i second that, we demand an apology!



  47. 47

    Search Jordan Chandler admits he lied about Michael Jackson. The boy who accused him of molestation has come clean that he lied.
    RIP Michael!

    this is so sad. If you did your research perez you could have found a better video. I found one in less than 5 mins.



  50. 50

    so sad…



  51. 51

    I love Janet and i am saddened about Michael. RIP



  52. 52

    Re: iambored – losers piss off the site man u got nothing else to do all day then taint beautiful posts like these with ur unnecessary abuse



  53. 53

    Bless her heart!! No matter what, love him or not, he was still a brother, father and son (except to Joe..but thats another story). How nice of the BET awards to rearrange everything practically on really such short notice to provide a tribute to the king of pop, and also how nice it was for Janet to make a statement…

    im really really sad



  56. 56

    fuck you perez. cant believe someone is advertising w/ you still. i will not watch dance your ass off…whatever that is.



  57. 57

    Re: nayfin
    that's so awful that he ruined such a loved star's reputation over greed. HE needs to be prosecuted.. or at least his father. ugh.



  58. 58

    LETS PRAY FOR THEM!!! PLEASE, I THINK THEY NEED IT (I MEAN MICHAEL AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY)



  59. 59

    IF YOU REALLY WANNA DO SOMETHING FOR MICHAEL… PRAY FOR HIS SOUL, THAT´S THE BIGGEST GIFT WE CAN GIVE HIM RIGHT NOW… IT WILL TAKE JUST A COUPLE OF MIN.

    Re: iambored – Oh for the love of….would you fucking get over it already? And quit thinking of yourself as the "Savior" to us from all things Perez (you know you think that, don't lie)? Your verbal diarrhea is annoying the shit out of me.



  61. 61

    Re: koubiak – wtf is WRONG WITH YOU! I bet your deeh fucking FAT ASS!



  62. 62

    Re: mustangsal – Tom Hanks? What happened to him?



  63. 63

    this is soo sad, i feeel her pain! This takes so much courage to go up there and talk about MJ… To me, she even kinda sounds a bit like Michal… rip!



  64. 64

    She did a way better job representing the family than her dad did. I hope and pray with all my heart that Michael's children will not have to be raised by this man. He is horrible!!!



  65. 65

    my prayers go out to the jackson family. you can tell how upset she is.

    also, to everyone who is a michael jackson fan, a song called 'Better on the other side' was created i guess in the apst few days by diddy, chris brown, the game, etc.

    it's a free download. i enjoyed it, so i think you will to.



  66. 66

    Re: TootsieBelle

    Right on! I am so sick of seeing horrible comments ruin all the beautiful things people have ot say.

    RIP MJ!



  67. 67

    I also wanted to say that I have always been a Jackson family fan. Michael dying in this way breaks my heart, and to see the grief on Janet's face brought tears to my eyes. Stay strong Jackson family!!!!



  68. 68

    Lets not make this about Perez, right now we need to be Celebrating the life of a beautiful soul who was not only a musical/style Icon but a humanitarian who has done more for this world (and especially poverty stricken children) than anyone in the world. May he Rest In Peace! I know in my heart that michal was a good man an he should not be disrespected ever. Janet was so strong tonight, I get chocked up just thinking about their loss. I wish her and her whole family the best and especially his kids, cause I know he lived them.
    RIP Michael, you will never be forgotten and will be forever loved.



  69. 69

    it was so brave for her to get on stage. it was really sad. I cried, my mom cried.
    i'm still in so much shock that he's gone.



  70. 70

    RIP Michael….that was absolutely heartbreaking..



  71. 71

    HOPEFULLY THE JACKSON FAMILY WON'T HEAR OF THE 'SCANDALOUS' POSTS PEREZ POSTED ENDLESSLY TODAY. THEY ARE IN ENOUGH PAIN ALREADY, AND THIS KIND OF THING UNDOUBTEDLY CONTRIBUTED TO MJ'S PILL TAKING (HE WAS DEEPLY SELF CONSCIOUS AND SENSITIVE) AND WHAT CONTRIBUTED TO HIS DEATH. I HAVE BEGUN TO WONDER WHAT KIND OF PARENTS AND UPBRINGNING PEREZ HAD TO MAKE HIM SUCH A GENUINELY HEARTLESS, SELF-SERVING PERSON. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN INTENSE DYSFUNCTION. HE WAS PROBABLY NEGLECTED OR TERRIBLY SPOILED. ONE OF THE TWO. HIS PARENTS MUST BE DEEPLY ASHAMED OF HIM. DEEPLY. THE GAY COMMUNITY CERTAINLY IS.

    OMG now I have to Cry



  73. 73

    It's so sad to see people lose their loved ones.
    This made me cry.



  74. 74

    i feel terrible for the entire jackson family and especially janet who seemed to have a very close relationship with michael. i think everyone who keeps demanding an apology from perez needs to back off. since the news broke that MJ died, perez has conducted himself appropriately. if all of you respect MJ so much, stop trying to cause more drama now. if you think perez was wrong, try being the bigger person rather than continuing to bring it up. if you don't like perez, go read another blog!

    rest in peace, the king of pop, michael jackson.



  75. 75

    jeez why did she go there…it's a shame what happen to MJ but to show up after all that drama at the BET awards nah…sorry don't think so…and papa jackson was there….

    Jeez Mr. Jackson hated being black…hello my fellow black brothas and sistas!!!!
    changed his black skin to white…hell didn't even want his own black baby making sperm to reproduce some kids…hello…oh and love to hang with little white boys…
    great musician…but unfortunately he lost it a long time ago. He became a thriller
    as in scary hot mess.



  76. 76

    Re: iambored – if it's so tainted why do u even come on here, to piss and moan and be a martyr? you really must be bored

    An autopsy on Michael Jackson revealed that the King of Pop's emaciated body was riddled with needle marks and scars, and his head was virtually bald, it was reported today.

    Jackson's body had wasted away to a mere 112 pounds, and his stomach was completely empty except for partially dissolved pills, according to the London Sun.

    His hips, thighs and shoulders were covered with needle wounds, believed to have come from shots of painkillers, and he was wearing a wig when he was found because his hair had been reduced to a "peach fuzz" on his scalp, the report said.

    "He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out, and he had been eating nothing but pills when he died," a source close to the singer's entourage told the paper.

    "Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he'd been in terminal decline for some years."

    Jackson had one spot above his left ear that was scarred and completely bald - the apparent result of burns sustained when his hair caught fire while he was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984.

    He also had numerous other scars, apparently from plastic surgery.

    In addition, he had mysterious bruises on his knees and shins and cuts on his back, possibly indicating a recent fall, the paper said.

    Very brave of her to go up on the stage. I actually started tearing up… you can see the grief on her face. R.I.P MJ

    This is how someone looks when they are truly grieving……unlike Joe Jackson, who is a despicable human being. I still cannot believe what I witnessed on that interview with him at the BET show. My heart aches for Michael and the abuse he suffered at the hands of that monster. It is no wonder he lived and died an unhappy man. It is so evident that Janet loved her brother so much, and I know how difficult it was for her to speak to the audience. But she managed to do it out of love. Bravo to her!

    now that is sincere….i feel her pain….r.i.p mj!!



  84. 84

    Takes courage to hold tears in.



  85. 85

    r.i.p mj…..love you janet



  86. 86

    Janet was very sad and truly devastated, she was Michael's closest sibling…always on his side not like skanky LaToya and…Joe…not so much as sad…the asshole…rot in hell Joe for what u did to Michael!!! And he was promoting his new company on CNN…SHAME ON YOU JOE JACKSON…Did I say go to hell Joe Jackson…u will pay for all u did to ur family…especially Michael!!! RIP Michael Jackson



  87. 87

    so sad, i could not avoid crying…
    .
    COME ON EVERYBODY, LETS MAKE A PRAYER FOR MICHAEL…
    .
    it will be more helpfull than all of your comments (with all the respect, i think the comments are fine, but prayers are better for mj )

    Re: iambored – Why weren't people this defensive when Michael Jackson was alive?



  91. 91

    This is amazing. What a brave woman. I have wondered about her since I heard about what happened.



  92. 92

    Oh,Janet! I feel so bad for you.

    Janet is a beautiful woman,inside & out. SHE loved Michael,that's apparent.
    I know they were close. I hope she gets the kids. She will be a great choice to raise Michaels kids. I hope,in his will,he did just that,leaving his kids with the most capable person.



  93. 93

    Re: sheba088 – Joe actually left in the middle of the show.



  94. 94

    poor janet
    100?



  95. 95

    i'm crying



  96. 96

    i cried with Janet… she is beautiful no matter what size she is… thats first… and as a black person, i must say, that i never watch BET because of the stereotypical crap they have on their channel that shows blacks sometimes in a negative light.. but i did watch the awards today.. and went so wrong. The MJ tribute throughout the show was so disrespectful. I didn't care for Mr. Foxx wanting a close up on his crotch. Nor, did I find that the discussion of his nose, plastic surgery, or what color he was, and what race he belong to, or who they let borrow him. I cared about the fact that, this person was a human being and deserved respected. I believe he deserved to be honored the same way he honored James Brown Years before… Joe Jackson creeped me out.. even sitting with the Knowles clan, when Beyonce dissed the Jacksons months prior. The award show was "ghetto." It was not respectful to the KING OF POP. And my family, and friends, found it very hard to watch tonight. Even as Soldier Boy ran around the stage doing nothing. As Lil' Wayne dropped the most Cuss words. As Tiny got her ignorant ass on stage and spoke like a Ghetto Hood rat. It was a disgrace. and I felt so bad for the Jacksons. Micheal deserved more than a horrible Stereotypical BLACK channel to pay tribute to a real legend…



  97. 97

    I TOLD EVERYONE that Michael DID NOT MOLEST these 2 boys!
    NOW the first fucking kid is saying HE LIED!
    Well,whatta ya know? Some people just like to think the worst about others!
    I KNEW he was innocent and I've been saying this ALL ALONG! ( not just since he died!) When the rest of the TRUTH comes out,I hope everyone who made jokes and nasty remarks, feel like SHIT!
    MICHAEL WAS INNOCENT OF ALL THE BULLSHIT CHARGES!
    I knew it was done for money! I hope these kids and their families get charged for LYING!



  98. 98

    that was so sad! ya know you just cant help but feel bad for them, even if MJ was a little weird that was their brother, their family. RIP MJ. may ur music live on forever and your soul rest in peace!



  99. 99

    What a tragedy. Can't stop crying.
