That Time the Entire Jackson Family was Scammed part 50

[@cedricroney1475]

MJ is so talented his "worse" album outsells most people's entire catalog.

[@fhollandguy]

They should have let Latoya fend for herself. All those years living off of Michael's blood, sweat, and tears, she has some nerve to betray him like that. She is just as morally bankrupt, and jealous as the brothers.

[@rhone793]

Worse than the brothers!

[@cedricroney1475]

Far worse than the brothers. She tried to dump on everyone.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

Fholl, when Michael died in that house back in 2009...guess who was SEEN coming out of that house with a few things. you got it, Latoya. Latoya went in that house and stole some money and other gifts. then it was reported ALL over the news media. Michael Jackson was dead. what a family.

[@GnarlsBarkley123]

She wanted to be a celebrity lawyer and I wish she would have stuck to her dream.

[@fhollandguy]

I'm afraid you are absolutely rigght rondaf.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

listening to these stories, there was more DRAMA in the Jackson family. than ALL the soap operas of the 70's, and 80's combined. with Michael's BIG ego, and CRAZY demanding family. now I see why he mentally snapped.

[@timmy841212]

No coincidence that once he fired Frank, the suits came.

[@ST-nz4bf]

💯 well Frank did warn him about hanging out with teenage boys & Frank also told him giving expensive gifts to the kids parents didn’t look right. But MJ got all up in his feelings & ignored Frank’s concerns & advice. So by 1993 fate had it’s way with him. Even though I believe MJ was innocent of any crime. But sadly his behaviour was deeply inappropriate because it opened him up to all these false accusations. It totally ruined his life, career & legacy imo it’s pretty sad & heartbreaking 💔😔

[@Sttephy30]

The fact that MJ thinks selling 20,000,000+ for an album is a failure is INSANE. Bad sold more than ALL of his peers biggest studio album sellers. Bad produced the most #1 hits for an album & the biggest solo tour of the 1980's. It was a massive era. Nothing to be ashamed of. MJ was FAR too hard on himself.

[@21thalegend71]

THAT'S WHAT PRODIGIES DO😂 I BELIEVE BEETHOVEN AND THOSE EARLIER LEGENDS WERE THE SAME 😅

[@pacinorules752]

The success of Thriller was both a blessing and a curse.

[@Sttephy30]

@@pacinorules752 nah MJ was just way too hard on himself. Just like how he was hard on his looks, when he was good looking. He was just too hard on himself

[@kwdesigns1]

I totally agree. Now he’s even more famous posthumously. Love MJ.

[@for-house-stark]

LIKE MJ HAD WAY TOO MUCH EXPECTATIONS OF HIMSELF. HE EXPECTED WAY TOO MUCH, HIS ASPIRATIONS WERE WAY TOO HIGH AND THIS PUT AN UNBEARABLE LEVEL OF PRESSURE ON HIM, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALL HIS OWN MAKING. But I believe his enormous expectations were as a result of a big heart. And also a result of trying to become the biggest black star ever in order to prove to white racists in the industry that a black man can become as big as their biggest white superstars

[@stevensonjc21]

Micheal be pissing me off sometimes. He be firing the people he needed. The reason Micheal even survived for so damn long after the 93 settlement was because of JON BRANCA convincing him about music publishing and him buying the BEATLES/ATV catalog then he fires him. He then hires Frank for The THIS IS IT tour lmaoo

[@lifecyclestyled6732]

🤔🤔 Frank D was fired way before the This is IT tour. He been gone. Michael purchased the Music catalog after a convo with Paul McCartney. MJ should have left it at that. The big mistake was letting Jon Branca convincing him to MERGE his catalog with Sony other catalogs. This was a "recipe" to his downfall and a lot of people felt Branca was behind it just like the other leeches. Now Branca states MJ Biopic will probably bring in $1 Billion plus... Branca hands been in the cookie jar for a long time but what can anyone do it MJ left him as a major player with his finances...

[@Stephanie-ArmyVet]

He wanted 'yes' people around him. I believe the minute someone didn't agree with him he viewed that person as an 'enemy'. Just my opinion .

[@ST-nz4bf]

@@Stephanie-ArmyVet💯 But sadly where did it take MJ’s life ??? After the A Team left MJ’s life in the late 80’s his live & career went into free fall !! His life became a living HELL !!! MJ had a good heart & he had other worldly talent !! But he was too damaged , too fragile, too broken due to being a former Child Star & his insanely dysfunctional, abusive, toxic family. I wish he could have gotten some long term psychotherapy in the late 70’s & early 80’s but I also know it wasn’t the done thing back then. He was completely dominated & controlled by his father Joe & his religion The Jehovah’s Witness faith. Also most religious people don’t really believe in secular mental health. He was basically set up for this Fall & failure imo. I’ve given it a lot of thought over years. I can’t see how things could have played out any different ??? it’s just sad, tragic & heartbreaking 💔 😔

@@ST-nz4bf let’s be real, just like Whitney’s family they thought they could pray the problems away. Like come on. GET SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP

[@dsu9659]

Michael was buying music Publishing since he was in his late teens. He bought Sly Stone catalog at the beginning of of 79. There was no John Branca then. So the research.

[@Crew5930]

Good morning Nay. Yeah you can always trust a nut to spill it. Although Latoya's book still was somewhat filtered. Now Peggy she spilled it all lol. Once Michael let go Frank then it was open season.

[@kimo9449]

THANK U FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.

MAYBE OUR BOY MJ, DIDN'T REALIZE A SILENT GLOBAL DEPRESSION BEEN GOING ON DECADES NOW. EVERY YEAR IT GETS HARDER TO MAKE BASIC ENDS MEET. AS WE ALL KNOW, ARTISTS NOW ARE STRUGGLING MORE THAN EVER. THE INDUSTRY OF MUSIC IS SATURATED WITH ONE HIT, THREE HIT AND ONE ALBUM WONDERS THESE DAYS.

[@trentonbates3114]

Quincy jones also was fired because michael thought he was too old school and couldn't make hits anymore lol

[@cedricroney1475]

Bad has sold 35 million copies world wide and he considered it a failure, smh.

[@timmy841212]

He really thought every album should’ve sold more. When it didn’t he got in his feelings about it. The industry don’t care who you are. Once they decide they’re done with you, they’re done with you.

[@cedricroney1475]

@timmy841212 I hear you but every single MJ album went multi platinum. I mean his worse selling album, blood on the dance floor, would be most artist best selling album of their career. The amount of pressure he put on himself is unreal.

[@ST-nz4bf]

@@timmy841212💯 But sadly what MJ didn’t realise that the Thriller Album was a cultural phenomenon !!! No one could top Thriller Sales & that included MJ as well !! He ruined himself by chasing that unobtainable dragon 🐉 💔😔

[@virgochild4216]

Whose BAD!!!

[@funkkidmusic301]

Frank went on to work for Prince during the Diamonds and Pearls era.

[@coursecorrection4105]

The Korean concert would have led me to change my number and ignore that family for a long time

[@aiyanasafe]

Honestly, back in the 80s I think Latoya would’ve been way better off being a famous model, actress and socialite (w/ months of acting class under her belt of course) there were a lot of ways back then for her to make money and be in the limelight like the rest of her brothers/ sister without her being a singer anything would work better for her as beautiful as she is Joe should’ve peeped that after her first album, but he was so desperate for all of them to be famous singers🤦🏾‍♀️

[@Sttephy30]

14:25, funny how you say MJ gon' make more in the ground.. Forbes just released their "Top Earning Dead Celebs List" and MJ just topped it again, w over 115 million. I'm shocked he topped Elvis, considering he had that movie.

[@21thalegend71]

ELVIS, AIN'T GOT CLASSIC HITS GIRL, THEY BEEN DOWNPLAYING MJ FOREVER TO KEEP THAT WHITE THEIF ON TOP😂. I DON'T HATE ELVIS THO, CAUSE JUSTIN BEIBER IS THE ONLY WHITE ARTIST TO EVEN COME CLOSE. AS WITH USHER OR CHRIS BROWN TO MJ, THE WEEKEND TO PRINCE, BEYONCE TO TINA AND ONE DIRECTION TO THE BEATLES. BUJU BANTON TO BOB MARLEY AND COLDPLAY TO THE EAGLES.

[@JandtheR]

Its misleading for the book to say MJ trying to put a stop to Thriller because at the time it was titled STARLIGHT. MJ revised it and it became Thriller. MJ did right. Listen to the original album that he canned its on youtube

[@ShirleyCrawford-jd4sx]

MJ had to be talked out of not stopping it because 1. The jehova witness church gave him alot of trouble about what he was doing in it. He had to make a choice album or representing the church. 2 the first draft did not sound his best. He had to rework the album. He soon withdraw from the church. He made the right choice and put GOD first and followed through what he knew GOD wanted him to do(the album with a message at the front disclaimers occult involvement. It is very interesting down that rabbithole😊
