For the record, I was great friends with Michael for most of my life and he was 100 percent innocent. He was the best person I have ever known and the world was blessed to have him.

Michael Was A Wonderful Musical Artist And So Down To Earth And Graceful And Caring To Everyone Especially All His Fans Around The Whole World I Remember When His Thriller Album Come Out And '' Mtv '' Cable Channel Come Out Early 80's And Janet I Believe Would Be Touring In Big City's With, If He Was Still Here, We All Will Always Miss Him.

This is correct!!!!! Makes me happy there are people out there who DO KNOW the entire TRUTH....

@@Hevynly1 wow, what a blessing! Everything that I know about him I've researched heavily. I know without a doubt that he didn't do anything to those kids he "supposedly " molested. Being close to him was all about the Benjamins to most people, not even getting to know him as a person. Such a shame, because he always had trust issues because of that.

@@MiJacFan1 He had a few good people in his life who wanted nothing from him. But not as many as he deserved, that's for sure.

I feel that way about Kurt Cobain. 🤕

Especially that area. I grew up in Hammond Indiana, not far from Gary. Most of Gary is not safe

Yes saw it in 73 more land there too. I think they tore something down also

Anywhere in or near Chicago isn't safe!

We visited around 2013 with my mom and sister. We could definitely tell there was something odd about the area. One guy tried to flag us down, wanting to sell us toothpaste.

So you visited the original and probably how Michael wanted it to stay. It always brought back the original magic. And now they own the other house next door too.

He made yet another world record when the news crashed Google!

I cried as well it was like a family member died and after that so much changed

I cried as well it was like a family member died and after that so much changed

me too :(

Michael Jackson was Elvis Presley of pop music.

I cried for days and days after MJ and FF died :( that was a huge chunk of my teen/young adult years just gone in a flash (or so it seemed to me at the time). I miss them both very much and think of them often. It truly was a very dark and sad day for sure!!

all my childhood memories are slowly fading away...

I never cared for Farrah, but I remember sitting in McDonald's eating when it was live on their TV that Micheal was dead. I started breaking down so hard I choked on my cheeseburger. I remember that vividly.

@@play4u67 Totally agree!

@@tyroneaugustine229 You are so right. Jordan is documenting that history for all of us. It was a special time.

True. Diana Ross was just a well-known singer at the time that Barry Gordy felt would help get the Jackson’s attention if he said she discovered them. She had nothing to do with their discovery. Michael did live with her for awhile once they moved to LA and they became very close lifetime friends. She exposed him to art and he became a magnificent artist too.

Was just about to comment on that. Thanx for pointing that out.

Reading this made me know to not watch this. Everyone knows Ross did not discover the Jackson’s and it’s so annoying that people make content without a simple google search or any research.

@@Luvumj2 This vlog is for entertainment purposes. If you don't agree that Jordan entertains, then you have no taste.

I heard a crazy rumor that Diana Ross was his mother.

Very good question...

He would be normal to everyone's (well most people's standards) standards and expectations.

He probably wouldn’t have been an entertainer or one of the greatest artist of our time

I agree. I'm still stunned by Joe's abuse which Michael, especially, had suffered through, and his brothers.

People say that. But Joseph is who they all depended on. He was always at their shows. When you see Michael or his brothers they would tell about the whippings they got but would remind us we all got whipped but they also told us how they loved Joseph. At the end of the day though if he was so terrible they all wouldn't have been at his funeral. They were all there together I saw the whole thing through a family member. It was very peaceful. I'm sure Michael would have been there too. They all including his daughter that took pictures Johvonnie she held his hand before he died. Anyway she helper keep the rumors about him out of the media. She wrote a book. Called " Bastard Child" and she was on tv with it. This book talks about how she grew up and how she got along with the family. It was rocky in the beginning until her mother died and Mrs. Jackson was hurt for a while 25 year secret yes you would be. Anyway Mrs Jackson and her sister Rebbir helped bury her mother. They all became very close before Joseph died. So those rumors were desolved. Infact Janet did her last SOTWT in our town and it was just after Joseph died and she stopped the show to talk about Joseph just like her brothers did. They said they really couldn't go on withour Joseph because he was always there supportung them. The children won't lie. They all loved him. Janet said Randy talked her into that show she did because Joseph would want her to go on. I got those same kind of beatings myself when I was a kid. Now as far as them calling him Joseph that's what I didn't understand. Still I thought it was cute in a way but maybe he wanted them to feel like he was more of a business man. They only knew. Still the results of how all the children and family were there for him at his end speaks for a lot. Rip him and his brother Luther he was a very nice man with wonder children. He just passed this year. Mjever.

Nobody was talking abuse when fans were buying the records.....fans want it both ways....they want to say he was born to entertain then say at the same time he was driven by his father to sing.. ...its either one or the other

@@scorpionJB Right ON!! I agree with you!! 💘

@@PropertyandCasualtyAgent Good shot!! People have to really look between the lines of all of this hollywood rumor stuff and look into how the whole family felt about King Joseph!! People always want to bring a great person down. Yes even Michael said he just told some stories because it was a Hollywood thing. He told the real truth like his sibblings did for people that wanted to hear their true feelings. They loved that man and when you protect who you love most then people will try to sabotage it. I hear the real family talk about him now, they can barely go on without seeing him sitting there watching them perform and giving them the " Let's Go Ahead."" People only hate Joseph through those fake stories they heard not because they knew or met the man and I bet they couldn't tell him how bad he was to his face. All of these years and he had theeee perfect set of children!! Even the one he had on the side that the family loves now. You have to look at the results. The true results. They all buried him together and held his hand in the end. The very end with the whole family together. We can't get any better than that. Rip beautiful ones.

I agree. Jordan respect for the family was one of the best parts of this story.

Yes, I'd like to know about the drawing as well :-)

That’s what I always heard.

Link plz.

Exactly 👍

Hey inside and out that would have been nice if that house had been that pretty. Hardly anybody until Michael died actually knew this house existed. Glad I saw the original so we can visualize how they really came up. Even the school looked better. Look like they could just jump the fense and get to the school. I loved hanging out with the family there in between 2009 just before Michael passed away untill 2016. It was a great time giving back. As far as that haunting they just staged that because they wanted the people to move out. So they could tare the houses down. They own those other houses. Yes everybody left. As we visited it each year something different happened to the neighborhood untill it was just the Jackson house there. Also people should know all of the streets were named after The USA presidents. Joe just happened to move on Jackson street. Meaning Andrew Jackson.

Exactly be like any othet

Yeah they were practicing a commercial for tv

Yes, and that's the school

Im very aware of toto

@@DazewithJordantheLion Sorry to assume, you'd be surprised how many have no idea of that fact. "Toto? You mean the dog from Wizard Of Oz?"is what I usually get.

I like him too.😊

It was definitely not the safest I've ever been to... lots of abandoned homes

I went there back in January of 2017 and got yelled at by a neighbor who lived on another street because I was trying to photograph the back of the Michael Jackson monument. Shortly after, a guy came up to me asking for 30 cents. Fortunately, nothing bad happened. I walked around the entire neighborhood by myself. Nothing scares me and I think that these people knew that.

He also had lupus (a very painful disease).

Janet stole the statue!

@@LindaCarol-ig2ri It's ok to get out of your car at the Jackson house you just need to be aware of your surroundings and on the lookout for people who might approach you on foot. There's too much drug activity in the surrounding neighborhood ✌🏻😎🇺🇸🇺🇦

It's in thebackyard

Me either

Mr JACKSON AND BRIAN WILSONS DAD SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME JAIL CELL

Hopefully the boys, now men, who experienced lifetime trauma and systematic abuse at his hands can find peace and learn to love themselves as well!

@@victoryak86 if you do your research you'll find out that he's innocent.

@@shronazam276 such a profound statement! If you did your “research” you might find out things aren’t as simple as you seem to think

@@victoryak86 i didn't know who mj was befor watching LN. I did 100s of hours of research. Very deep research. I don't have an agenda to defend him. So go deeper.

Thank you

Thank you..

I have been there many times. My dad grew up in Valparaiso. I visited my grandparents often. Nice areas.

You're welcome! Very kind of you

You mean Merrillville I think.

The damage of not having a normal childhood is never done.
