I don't know if you have kids Luke but they are a lot of responsibility and its a tough job being a full-time parent. I have grandchildren. I am only 52. NO way could I handle my three grandchildren full-time until they are 18 years old. That is why there isn't a lot of 52 or 79 year old MOMS out there in the world. haha It's a huge responsibility and a 24 hour job for many years!!! Katherine may be a wonderful grandmother but a mother to three children is a lot of responsibility and at her age, I don't think she can truely handle the everyday routine of taking care of three children. Yes, she could get nannies and so forth but I believe those kids should get to know their real mother too. I also don't believe that Joe Jackson is "out of Katherine's" life completely either. Maybe, I'd feel differently if Katherine had divorced Joe many, many years ago. If they had been estranged for 10 years why didn't she divorce him? Whatever happens, I wish the best for those kids. Michael Jackson was their father and I think he was a good father to them, the best that he could be. He should have kept Debbie Rowe Jackson in their lives so her children would have known her. He was married to her for three years. Whose to say the two oldest children never saw her or knew she is their mother? I'm really surprised that none of the Jackson siblings, Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, La-Toya, Marlon, Janet or Randy were named as godparents or guardians to those kids. At least I haven't heard about any of his siblings being that close to him other than Jermaine and Janet. Maybe, those kids should go live with Mark Lester or Barry Gibb who were also close friends to Michael before his death. Mark is a godfather to one of Michael's children and Michael was godfather to one of Barry's sons. It's up to the court to figure out who should raise those kids and who is physically able to be a full-time parent to three young children. Katherine may be a wonderful grandmother but her age will weigh a lot in a decision in court whether she's the best person to raise three young children. Each case if different.

I actually think that Debbie Rowe SHOULD NOT get the kids. Just because someone is the biological parent does not mean that they can be a parent. She has stated numerous times that she's more interested in raising horses than raising children. And if she suddenly interested in the children, it's because she's interested in the money that will be coming with them.

JMO, but I think one should always honor the wishes of the deceased as stated in the will. Katherine Jackson was named in the will as the guardian & it should be honored. And Diana Ross was named as a back-up. And I think Michael's other siblings will also keep an eye on his children.

As for your last sentence, it's definately noble to think about the needy, and even more noble to help them, which MJ did his whole life. no other singer gave away even near the amount he did throughout his career. so how about, instead of spewing hate in words more or less refined, we just take this page out of the book and do something nice and helpful for others in our own field.

You're right, I went off on a hate jag more about me than about MJ. He became extremely hard to relate to the black guy in the photos on The Jacksons Destiny LP I found I still have (1978). My CD copy of Off The Wall doesn't show anything but white socked feet. You really have to admit an adult man having sleepovers with kids not related to him is a big red flag 99.9 times out of 100 though right? If some 40 year old on my street were to do that there'd be a lot of questions, but I can accept extremely few 40 year old men would've had the background he did.

Not sure I ever liked it much but I remember reading that Steve Porcaro made more money out of this track than he ever did in his whole career with Toto. What must Rod Temperton have made?!

i felt too overwhelmed with the article to even respond. aside from the jordan chandler topic discussion, even for those who haven't done extensive reading on the matter - doesnt this article seem suspicious even in the style of writing? If someone truly was defending a just cause, wouldnt they want to bring their facts forward in a most objective way to gather everyone's attention and possibly convince them - instead of induging in your own dislike of the person by means of nasty, hateful language AND, as a result, antagonizing numerous readers from the start?
