What evidence is there that Blanket is a Brando? I’d put my money on the dermatologist being the father of the other two their faces have similar features.
I read that Debbie Rowe and Katherine Jackson are issuing a restraining order on Joe against the three children.
Special on FOX.
Absolutely no evidence. I believe he knew who the fathers were - it wasn’t an anonymous donor.
Maybe he was the father..maybe he wasn’t. Miko looks like a good candidate for Blanket and Dr. Klein for the older two.
Ahhh that guy posted earlier in the thread is a Brando. When I think of Brando I think of Marlon and I forgot he married that Polynesian woman.
Yeah that guy does favor the youngest child a bit.
What a tangled drama.
and if I read correctly the news reports on the day MJ expired -— his mother and a sister were present in the home on that very day.
MJ was not castrated. He had an tenor voice, and would oftentimes sing in falsetto. I listened to his hits recently, and he was a definite tenor.
When I heard about MJ’s death at work, for some reason I believe he was murdered. Not murdered as a hit, but they helped hasten his death by taking advantage of his addiction.
As for the Nation of Islam, who surrounded MJ during the time of the trials here is an interesting article. It seems it was Randy who intervene and got MJ to fire all of Nation of Islam employees. Including his business manager then Leonard Muhammad, son-in-law of Louis Farrakhan. hmmm....interesting.
Also remember story has it that the family were not happy with Jermaine and his speeches about Allah or whatever.
As for AEG, I found it interesting that they would release MJ’s rehearsal at Staples. I recall a reporter asked the AEG honcho if they will make a DVD of MJ’s researsal. The man stated they are considering it. No doubt AEG will be profiting alot of money on MJ’s death. I wonder what else they will be profiting from MJ?
It would be interesting to see if there is a link between the Nation of Islam / AEG.
O let’s not forget that AEG donated money to Obama’s Campaign.
This is getting interesting as more information is getting out.
Blanket no doubt resembles alot like a Brando. For me Blanket looks more like a young late Christian Brando {Miko’s brother} than Miko.
Jackson’s killer is with Nicole and Ron’s real killer, Elvis Presley (who never really died) and whole bunch of honest democrats. They all live in house made of peppermint sticks in the merry old land of Oz.
This is the same sister who said “yeah he touches kids” then said “my husband forced me to say that”.
“I wonder what else they will be profiting from MJ?”
My thoughts too...perhaps from any insurance policy they took out on him for the tour.
“And for what it is worth, Fleetstreet media is like our National Enquirer. They both do the dirty work the others won’t.”
I thought that only the M.I.B. used the “Hotsheets” for stuff like this........
Maxwell - falsetto
Jagger in Emotional Rescue - falsetto
Prince - Kiss - falsetto
debarge - falsetto

sure sounds different than MJ’s childhood song but I am an untrained ear.
I AM trained in the area...Great deal of discussion back in the early ‘70s by college profs and fellow students....His voice is not a true falsetto, at the least it is questionable...If it were true there would be a break switching into the lower tones...doesn’t happen.
None of us had ever truly worked/listened to a live castrati, but only late developing young men....Never had the inconsistancies in his voice typical of develping child....
Speaking voice is not in the “male range”...light and airy speaking voice is typical of a pre-teen/early teen female...or vocal chords that have been damaged. In those cases even with breath support the volumn cannot be increased....not evident in his supported singing voice.
Basically what the lack of develpment does is stunt the growth of the vocal chords. The size of the vocal chords determines the pitch of the singer...The bass singer has very large vocal chords, the child’s is small....The size of vocal chord like the size of your feet/hands are inherited from your parents....
A young boy who’s chords are growing sound like his mother for a period of time. Just for a while they are the same size as mom’s then they grow to the size consistant to male familial members.
Once had a second grader with a low voice....Met his older brother and parents....inherited trait....really weird hearing this low voice singing along with the other children’s voices. Grew up to be a true bass.
A Michael Jackson “Erector” set.
Ugh. Just ugh.
Michael Jacksons family after Ebay. Has asked them not to allow certain kinds of Michael Jackson auctions INCLUDING TICKETS...
Wonder if the house guest took off with items that could be classified as stolen.
No, I think this has to do with something else but not sure. Probably THEIR PROFIT.
This is something I heard from someone I know that knows someone who sells on Ebay. Grapevine.
There were a few categories that the Jacksons contacted them about - SUPPOSEDLY.
When I think of a falsetto voice, I think of Frankie Valli. You’re right, Michael Jackson vocal sound is nothing like that.
I spent some time thinking about this since his death hit the news. You can hear his definite tenor both in “Human Nature,” and “Wanna Be Starting Something,” to name two examples.
Tenors are the male equivalent of sopranos, and they can go higher than some people expect. The late organist of our church said that when he was a young man, he could hit 3 octaves. That Michael Jackson could have as wide a range shouldn’t be surprising.
I’m an alto, and MJ’s chest register and my head register do overlap. He could sing way higher than me (tenor + upper range), and I can sing lower than he. This is not an unnatural range between a tenor and an alto.
He would use a lot of breathing and vibrato in his technique. And a really flexible voice can jump a larger range between two notes, although most of us need an extra note to bridge a gap. Remember that there’s also mixing in a recording studio when a person sings with himself.
One voice I’ve always admired belongs to a Polish singer named Basia. She sings 3 octaves, and can go both higher and lower than I. Mariah Carey is another one whose range surpasses mine at both ends. I compare my voice with others to appreciate their vocal qualities and techniques. I’ve started thinking about the comparisons between Michael Jackson and Brian Wilson, especially the latter’s solo version of “Surf’s Up.” Brian had a wide range, too.
Too bad we didn’t get to compare MJ at 25, with MJ at 50. A lot of people lose the higher stuff when the chords are older.
BTW, in my opinion, the soft breathiness of MJ’s speaking voice was an affectation. I can sound like Marilyn Monroe if I want to.
