I hate putting a pic up of MJs kids when they are supposed to be "mourning" but I could not see how this is considered "mopping up tears" as the article linked above states? I see no tears... I see a tired little boy being put thru hell...

What are your thoughts?

by ballongiraf Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:38 am

i honestly see a boy uhm.. touching his eyebrows?

since when does tears run up the eyebrows?

by phoenix Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:41 am

i hope i dont sound offensive but i think he is tired- i know my brother used to act like that when he was little boy

That was my first thought as well. My sons do the same thing when they get tired...

by Savannah Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:46 am

Those kids had to of been just exhausted!!! He looks so tired to me. Poor babies. How late were they kept out last night??? It had to of been unbelievably late! Oh, and that sweet Paris sleeping on the way home. I just love those kids so much, and I don't even know them.

by Guest Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:46 am

Excatly they was put through hell Michael would NEVER allow that. NEVER!! Katrine and Elizabeth is crying. That is not fake. Look at the expretion on Katrines face. She mourns her baby.

I cant belive this Sad

Why cry so much, if they know he is okey?? I dont think I could fake it, not even for the audience if I knew My baby was alive and well.

This is not happening. I need someone to kick me in the butt, to give me back my beliefs. Comeon. I need help.

I dont event think Blanket gets it yet, that his Daddy is not comming back. The baby is 7. He is not old enough to understand this.

by emanviam Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:47 am

She is crying...that's for sure.... Neutral

He looks like he will start to laugh.... Suspect

The picture of Katherine crying has really thrown me.

I still believe that this is a hoax but the only thing that makes sense to me is that Katherine isn't in on it.

Oh god, someone give me a virtual slap please!!!

they could be mourning over the death of someone who they and michael personally knew (maybe a decoy)...but maybe they're not mourning over michael...

Kathrine would be in on it. Michael would not put his mother and children through this without telling them

to me she seems really concerned about something - not sad in a way i would expect her to be..its hard to describe, its just my personal opinion...and i have seen Lizs yesturday when camera showed her for a moment and she lookes scared.....
again,please dont feel offended its a very sensitive theme and everyone see it different

by ballongiraf Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:53 am

well, ive stated my opinion on that pic several times here.
Please ask yourself WHY that exact pic, out of all the pics they could show us, has emerged? Keep in mind that they spent the entire day before the burial REHEARSING the burial... doesnt that tell you something?
they show you want they want you to see.

by emo_pinkt Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:54 am

The picture with blanket did it for me! Broke my heart...Thats why I changed my mind. If Mj is alive and did this for a movie or something similar it would make him look very insensitive. I'm sorry guyss.

yes, thank you very much for saying it again, i agree- its showbusiness guys...dont let it get you that fast please

by MJfan777 Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:57 am

this is just a picture.

u cant draw your conclusions about anything seeing only ONE picture without see all the full context.

by ilprincipe Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:58 am

I agree with you...little blanket was supposedly bored and tired...but not really crying...
His crying at the memorial -there were tears- may have been for other reasons...
remember..this little boy is just 7 years old..I think at the memorial he was scared of the audience and the whole memorial...
today he seemed more tired than crying...

Katherine looks indeed upset....but I also don't see real tears...so maybe she is concerned and thinks "Please MJ..stop this circus finally" .....

and I really don't care about a crying Liz Taylor...
like Brooke Shields a very good actrice...

by MiaPaparazzi Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:58 am

I was 11 when my grandpa passed and I was INSANE... he was like a father to me... when they were closing the casket at funeral home before going to cemetary, I started weeping like I have NEVER wept before, screamed and cried at the funeral people to NOT close it... My grandma had to pull me back and tell me over and over "he is not there anymore honey, its just his shell, his soul is in Heaven"... and on the way to cemetary in limo I screamed and cried like a 3 year old throwing a tantrum... screamed at limo driver that I wanted my grandpa back...

my point is this. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the photos I have seen has NOT displayed the RAW emotion of a death of a loved one from ANY family member. Ok yeah, the picture of Katherine hit me right in the gut at first and then I thought back to when I lost my grandpa. Now I am a mother, I have 3 children, ages 7, 5 and 1 and if I lost any of my kids (God forbid) I would be absolutely INSANE. Especially... ESPECIALLY if it was ruled a homicide....

I am just sayin... and this is all my personal opinion... it was very staged considering the circumstances. And what happened to Paris' haircut?

by Savannah Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:58 am

Is it true that when Katherine went to go into the mosoleum that she turned around and was grief stricken and wouldn't go in? I have read that in a few places...but don't know if it is true. I hope not. That would break my heart. Her picture has already broken my heart.

I agree. I think she looks more worried about something. There could be a number of reasons she looks that why, it doesn't mean Michael is gone, IMO.

Poor little Blanket looks tired to me, he doesn't look like he had been crying. He had a long day.

by ballongiraf Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:00 pm

i've said this before but:
what if MJ is in protective custody? Would you be a happy person if you didnt know where you son was or how he was doing?
Hoax or not, it must be an emotional thing for her to sit there and look at his coffin - especially if it's a hoax, i mean - if the reports that MJ feared for his life (hence why he's in protective custody is true) perhaps she was thinking "this could've been real"....

so he started crying in one nano second? (not trying to sound rude). Those pics were taken less than seconds after each other. *click, click, clik* - that fast. You mean to tell me he wasnt crying a click nr. 1, but was crying at click nr.2 ?

Good point! I mean no disrespect when I say this, I need more than a picture of Katherine and a few accounts here and there to convince me Michael is gone and that what went on last night was the real thing.

by Rach Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:07 pm

Ok guys, I think we need to remember and respect that people are going to have different opinions on what these pictures represent and mean that them. If someone says it looks like Katherine is crying, that doesn't mean that they have given up on the hoax theory.

I know we all feel strongly about things at the moment but please remember we are all entitled to our own opinion.

also, keep in mind that Katherine looked the same during the memorial, only difference is that she wore sunglasses. You didnt believe it back then, so why believe it now?

i understand, and i agree Rachel. None of us knows if she was crying or not - we can only post what we see Smile

I dont see anyone trying to convince others, though....

I meant to ask someone...was their long time nanny Grace there? I would of thought she would of been up with the kids since they loved her so much.

by MiaPaparazzi Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:16 pm

I understand and also agree, Rachel... but I dont see anyone trying to get disrespectful either, I think we are all just trying to read into it and give our perspectives so we can all collaborate and make it make sense... if we didn't have eachothers input, I think we all may have given up along the way... IMO... but we all keep eachother going and point out things that we may miss etc. I appreciate everyone's input and realize all are entitled to their own opinions... I like hearing everyones opinions actually. Its amazing how we do each see different things, but we are all looking at the same photos... You guys are awesome. I love you

WARNING: NO OFFENSE INTENDED

Blanket just looks tired. As for Katherine and Joe, I don't know that Joe would show any kind of emotion one way or another except for greed, now Katherine is not crying, there are no tears, there is a look of pain on her face though. Katherine Jackson has spent years in the media, as long as her family was in the spot light someone has been looking at her too. Let's just say, hypothetically, that one of your children comes to you and says'Mother, I have to fake my own death just to get a little peace and to give my children a normal life. I am going to to need you and all the family to pretend that this is real so I can get it done. This is the only way I can be happy and live a decent life. I have spent 45 years of my 50 being ridiculed and inspected in the spot light and I just can't do it anymore. Will you help me?'

Now I don't know about anyone else, but if my son came to me after everything this man has been through and said something like this to me, I would do ANYTHING he asked me to to help him. As a parent you can do anything it takes to ensure your childrens health and happiness.

This is only my opinion.

by MJ_Fan_For_40_yrs Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:18 pm

Question: WHO took this picture? Oh wait....the JACKSON'S hired a PRODUCTION CREW...!

There was no MEDIA at the ceremony.....

I'm just sayin'..........

by MichelleMissesMJ Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:20 pm

Guys I hate to say this but that pic of Katherine looks really real to me. The only other explainable excuses could be that

1.she does infact not know about the hoax or she is mouring that her son now must live a life of hiding

2. He really has passsed:( Sad

The second option breaks my heart, but it does happen. Ppl do die, even if we don't want it to be true. But the quest is if he is indeed desd then we want to find out why and how. Somebody should last be charged.
