Janet Remembers MJ


Janet JacksonIt was the 28th of June 2009. A tearful Janet stood on the stage at the 2009 BET Awards to pay homage to her brother MJ, who had left so suddenly, leaving the whole world shocked.

She took the mike and said, “My entire family wanted to be here tonight, but it was just too painful, so they elected me to be here to speak with you. To you Michael was an icon. to us, Michael is family and he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, and for all your support. We miss him so much.”

And as she spoke the crowd came to a halt.

In her first interview after her brother’s death she told Harper’s Bazaar Magazine that she had stopped watching television after her brother’s death. The coverage she said “will drive you crazy.”

In the same interview she revealed that she had met her brother just six weeks before his death. “We had so much fun that day; we kept calling each other after and saying how great it was.”

And now Janet Jackson is all set to give her first full length interview to US network, since her brother’s death.

It will be the first time that the press and media will be allowed at her residence at California.

The programme host will be Robin Roberts of Good Morning America, from the ABC News. The hour long programme which is not yet recorded will be telecast on the 18th of November in US.
