Out of Pocket: Joe Jackson says MJ is Worth More Dead
Michael Jackson, News, out of pocket
Posted by Bossip Staff
Joe Jackson recently said his son is worth more dead than he is alive. Damn, true or not, this statement is unacceptable. Flip the hood for more. When interviewed by Extra during the This is It premiere, Joe said:
“He’s worth more dead than when he was alive.”
After feeling guilty, he later followed with:
“I’d rather have him alive.”
SMH no wonder this dude is blackballed from the family.

They baited him into that response……….
They probably asked him if he thought his son was worth more dead that alive………
Joe Jackson: “He’s worth more dead than when he was alive.”
Joe Jackson: “I’d rather have him alive.”
Bossip = The National Enquirer…..
They don’t even have a link to the interview, so we can see the context of the interview…SMH

I am not surprised by what this fool said. He is responsible for why Michael Jackson’s life turned out so badly. He will pay for it in the end. God dont like ugly.

People love to hate Joe…I’m not sayin he should winner Father of the Year ever, but I really don’t think his intentions were bad. Like someone else said, he was probably just answering a question about the estate. The fact is that it’s really true. He didn’t say he wanted it that way. Geesh

As is often the case with Joe Jackson, you’ve got to let him finish his sentence before getting too mad at him. Michael Jackson’s dad tells Extra in an interview airing tonight that his son is making a bigger impact now than when he was alive. “He’s worth more dead than when he was alive,” Joe, 80, says. “I’d rather have him alive.”
How touching.
This Is It pulled in $2.2 million domestically in just its first few showings late Tuesday night, and as Joe notes,”When he was living, they didn’t show this.”
The movie is a compilation of rehearsal footage from what was to be Michael’s last tour. At first, Joe admits he was confused about the concept.
“I didn’t know what This Is It meant,” says Joe, adding that the movie does allow to him to remember his son “as I knew him best: performing and dancing on stage. Entertaining people.”
Joe admits that he gets “very emotional” when he hears Michael’s songs, and cries sometimes “when I’m off to myself and I start thinking about things that we went through,” he says. “No one will ever see me, though.”

Joe Jackson is the devil reincarnated. How can he say that about his own son??! Now you see why people say any dumb ***** can make a child but it takes a man to raise one…..I doubt Michael liked him either and I bet the other members of the group despised him just as much. I mean come on, his son is a legend and for him to say that he would rather have him dead than alive?? that statement is crossing the line…i bet MJ is turning in his grave right about now
this just makes me sick for a man who could think less of his late son…theres a special place in hell for people like Joe

I’m SURE YOU THINK SO Joe. What a DISGUSTING thing to say!

Sigh…Lord could we exchange Michael for him? He’s such a loser its not even funny. Any artist that is *****ociated with him needs to know they won’t be selling jack…son! Joe Jackson is the ghost of Matt Knowles future. The same blood runs through both of their veins.

I wish you all would leave this brotha alone. He is an 80 year old man, and every time someone speaks to him, or sees him it is negative. MJ was who he was because of this man. You people need to find something better to to with your time.

Could someboday stop him. My word this man is really an AZZ! Why would he continue to feed the media especially the way they treated his son! Good lord Joe stop it.

11/2/09, 14:53:pm
I dunno. This kinda depends on how he said it. it could have been a very valid point that people did not appreciate his son while he was living.
In any event, my heart goes out to ALL of the Jackson family-even the ones that are acting kinda suspect (Papa Joe, Latoya, Jermaine’s greasy, camera-loving *****).

I am completely disgusted by this man . I am completely disgusted at his publicity stunts, and his rude comments . The media LOVE’S to go to town on Lindsay Lohan’s aleged drug abuse, yet none of them will expose this evil/disgusting/evil yet talented man as the abusive opurtunist that he has publicly shown himself to be .

I think he is oblivious about what he says sometimes, he just doesn’t think before he speaks! I don’t necessarily think he means to be as cr***** and idiotic as he sounds, I really don’t think he has a clue.

Why berate Joe Jackson at every opportunity.He did not kill his son is not selling his personal belongings and stealing his estate. Joe gets nothing from the estate. This black mans estate has now been stolen by some white jews.A fake will was accepted with all its flaws by this judge.Thats what ppl should be mad about. Four months later the D.A is doing nothing congress should be petition to investigate this and arrest those mobsters in the music industry who commit these crimes. Michael Jackson said in an interview he trusted no one in the record industry.he referred to them as theives charlatans and imposters.Therefore he definately would not have left his mom and childrens inhertance in their greedy hands to sectretly pilfer as they please.
Joe did not kill mj so go after those who did with this same venom. start with the fake “leaked” autopsy report that said mj was healthy at death.No internal investigation has been carried out in relation to this so therefore the real autopsy is still seal and still under tight security.That fake news item was to quiet fans anger and for them to go see the this is it movie.
BTW,Frank Dileo looked like the true mafia crime bosss on red carpet at the This is it premeire.
TRAIN YOUR ANGER ON THOSE RESPONSIBLE,the BRANCA/ MCCLAIN /THOME/ AEG/SONY/BARRACK CONECCTION.MJS *****ETS ARE WORTH A BILLION THIS IS NOT CHICKEN FEED AND KATHERINE IS KEPT DARK.

@mega – I’m so pleased someone with common sense stated this. Regardless of what anyone thinks of MJ’s father, he kept his sons out of jail and out of harm’s way.

@MJ is invincible – People will fall for anything the WHITE media tells them. You have spoken truth to power about MJ’s financial affairs. MJ made those companies VERY wealthy and because he spoke out against their abuses and was an activist, he gets snubbed – OUT – literally.

Unfortunately Michael was a very talented man who did some very smart things early in his career (like buying the Sony/Atv catalog). However his mental problems (not wanting to be a black man, imo) also, he kept himself isolated from his own family and surrounded himself with people who did not have his best interests at heart. He also brought 3 kids into the world who imo don’t appear to be biologically his kids. His mental problems along with his drug problems caused his downfall. That is not to say that weren’t some powerful people that may have helped him end it sooner than it would have otherwise ended and set him up. His own father could have been a dupe for these people as well as Murray (another dupe imo.) In my opinion there is no way that the people who set up this concert could have thought that MJ would have been able to pull off 50 shows. I saw the movie. He could not have done 50 shows (one every other night). I am still sorry that he met such a tragic end. I am a fan of his for 40 years.

michael never said he did want to be black. he was very proud of his heritage as he stated many times. as far joe, he is a senile old fool.
