'This is It' Performer Judith Hill's Comments on Working With Michael Jackson . . .
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 02:27 AM by Triana
EVERYONE who worked with Michael says the same things about him: what a kind, huge-hearted, big-spirited, amazingly talented and creative, loving person he was - and how he remained TRUE to himself, his art, and his vision through all the Hell the World put him through. This is one of the reasons the man is MY inspiration. ("To thine own self be true" - he LIVED that and that is NOT easy to do!) Here is yet another accounting of what it was like to work with Michael Jackson. THESE accounts of him I believe LONG before I believe anything the media or tabloids print. These people were THERE.
_ _ _ _

“When he first came in where we all were, he was so sweet and endearing. He had a big, big spirit. His spirit was so sweet. He was very kind towards people. He was so nice to all of us and so warm,” she recalls. "Michael had such a gift. I mean, to be so warm and to embrace us like he did with everything he went through is amazing. After all that he had endured in his life? You can’t talk about people doing you shady or doing you wrong, and try to have an attitude about it. He went through a lot and still gave love back.” When we asked what was the one lesson she learned from Michael that she will take with her throughout her career, she answered quickly and definitively that “musically he never apologized for what he was. He was completely himself. Not following anyone. He was locked in his own world. He was true to himself no matter what was said. That is a good lesson for me, I think. To stay true to my vision, to my music and to myself.”

1. This doesn't surprise me. I never thought this man was guilty
of molesting children. I believe he loved them and was so child-like himself that he got into huge trouble because he would not hurt the children involved in the so-called crimes. I believe their parents saw a good thing, and encouraged certain behavior to attempt to implicate Michael. He is loved by everybody that knew him well. It just never added up for me.

2. I felt the same.

I remember when these accusations surfaced. It didn't add up, knowing what I knew about the guy (I was like: "huh?!" NO WAY!") And I was molested myself as a child - and still couldn't fathom him ever doing what he was accused of. Did not compute. Child molesters don't do all the things Michael did for children around the world - children he didn't even know or never even met. Child molesters don't go visit orphanages and pay to turn around their conditions within 24 hours (and refuse to go to work if it doesn't happen). Child molesters don't pay for life-saving surgeries and treatments for children they don't even know and never met - just because they care and want to help. Michael CARED about children all over the world and only wanted to help them - and he was a big kid himself and loved spending time with them. People saw that as a weakness and used it against him to get money. It's that simple. This type of thing makes me so disgusted with this world. It really does.

The court transcripts, court docs, and the couple books out about the two accusations (1993 and 2003 or so) are worth reading - the accusers/prosecution had a pathetically weak case and along with that hothead DA Sneddon, tried every trick in the book to MAKE Michael guilty - but the jury saw through it. Janet Arvizo - talk about a FREAK! That woman was a piece of work. The media didn't report that, either. She was an absolute MESS in the courtroom. It was blatantly obvious they were out for money. Jordie Chandler's dad Evan as much as SAID so. It was just sorry-ass and lame the case they tried to make against him. Didn't add up at all. Of course the media didn't report any of this - but the prosecution got BURNED badly in that courtroom. THAT'S what the jury saw and that's why he was acquitted on all counts.

And yes, every account I've read of people who actually WORKED with Michael is the same as Hill's. Everyone who actually spent any time around him loved him. Except the extortionists - who only loved his MONEY and didn't mind destroying him to get it.

3. Which explains why he was able to buy three children and keep them.

4. SO you think anyone who uses surrogates to have children is just 'buying' them?
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 10:26 AM by Triana
Or just Michael Jackson? It's only "weird and unacceptable" when HE does it?

What does it matter anyway? He was their father, he loved and cared for them regardless, and they were obviously WELL loved and cared for and well-educated. Furthermore, his will assured they'd be cared for for LIFE. Michael was a fantastic parent, by all accounts, so what's your beef - besides that it's Michael Jackson?

Hateful, much? Jeeze.

MOST people see no issue with people using surrogates AS LONG AS THE RESULTING offspring are well cared for and have a decent home and upbringing. Except of course, when the parent is Michael Jackson. Interesting. . . the level of vitriol, snap-judgement and sneering hatred of whatever the man did (and the level of ignorance about whatever he DIDN'T do).

6. Quit believing everything you read/hear
Edited on Thu Oct-29-09 08:19 AM by johnlucas
Haven't you learned anything from the drumbeat to the current Iraq War?
Yes, media lies. Media reports lies intentionally as well as unintentionally.
There was a campaign to destroy this man's earning power for decades.

THOSE ARE HIS BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN.
He did not BUY his kids. He fathered them and most importantly he RAISED them.

The fools who are trying to horn in on Michael's kids estate by implying or outright saying they may be the father are FALSE. Dr. Klein & Mark Lester should be ashamed of themselves.

"But but but why are Michael's kids so light-skinned when despite his skin color loss is still a Black man?"

Ask Donna Summer. Ask Eartha Kitt. Ask Victoria Rowell. Ask Mariah Carey.

Yes, "Black" people can INDEED have "White" children.
Why? Because "Black" people ain't 100% "Black" to begin with.

What are called "Black" people (because the original African ancestors they came from had very very dark brown skins—nearly an actual black color) are unique mixes of African, European, Native American, and sometimes even Asian ancestry.

Michael's father Joe Jackson has Blue/Green eyes...just like Michael's daughter Paris.
He's a light-skinned Black man which means he ain't nowhere near 100% African.
Joe comes from Choctaw ancestry & most likely has White ancestry too.

Michael's mother Katherine Jackson while darker skinned has not too far back in her heritage (within 2 to 3 generations) forebearers who were labeled by the U.S. Census as "Mulattos".
Mulatto is an old term that means a child with a Black parent & a White parent. A "mixed-race" child.
So even Michael's mother has White ancestry. Also if you look at her face you can tell that there's some Native American background going on there. Cherokee I've heard.

So "Black" Michael is REALLY "Black/White/Red" Michael.
This unique ethnic mix of a man has children with a White woman who has blue eyes & blonde hair.

What do you THINK will happen from a union like this?
Michael's 1st 2 children are light like their mother. Prince's hair was even blonde early in his life before it browned out. But Prince by account of Tito Jackson looks just like the Jackson siblings' grandfather, Samuel (Joe's father).
You see Michael in Prince's face.

The 3rd child Prince II AKA Blanket came from who Michael says was a Black woman. But what does "Black" mean? Stacey Dash is "Black" too but she has green eyes & doesn't look typically African (she's mixed too).
The woman could have been a Blasian (Black Asian) or even a Blaxican (Black Mexican).
Blanket is the spitting image of Michael except for the naturally straight hair & a lighter bronze in skin tone.

Paris looks like an olive-toned version of her mother Debbie. Olive-toned eh? Hmmmm...just like those Italians just above North Africa.

All 3 of those kids look mixed not White especially not Blanket.
They could pass for Latinos to the untrained eye.
But what are Latinos if not unique mixes of European, Native American, Asian, & African ancestry?

So enough of this fake controversy. Those are Michael's kids in every sense possible.
Educate yourself with these links so you can see with your own eyes how "Black" people have "White" kids.

It may shock your world so much that you'll see truly how silly racial prejudice & hate is.

Even though this next one's in a UK tabloid, the story is still true (truth is always accidental for tabloids).

Also look at this link to see closeups of Michael's kids. Many doubters who saw these changed their opinion on them being Michael's biological kids.

By the way there's a slightly obsessed YouTube poster named Luverz123456789 who exhaustively shows photographic proof of what I just told you here (search her many videos on the subject).
When you see young Michael & his kids' pictures juxtaposed it will become clear.

Don't believe every you read and twice for what you hear...or something to that effect.
