i loved the awards they were the best all the dancers did fabulous and janet was awesome RIP Michael Jackson

Boteach and Michael had not been in correspondence for the last six years of Michael's life, largely because Boteach did not stand by Michael when he faced charges in 2003. We do not even know if Michael intended to do a book. For all we know, this could be a carrot stick to convince the fans to buy this shabbily conceived page-turner. Michael - so often duped in life, could have merely been going along with Boteach's own request that they tape their 'therapy sessions' - as many therapists do. They clearly sound like therapy sessions, with Boteach introducing 'leading' questions into the stream of the conversation and offering advice back. And if a book was intended, Michael would have certainly wanted to edit it. It speaks volumes that when in 2005 the court case was behind him, Michael did not attempt to reinitiate ties with Schulmey or publish the tapes in his lifetime. As a leading Rabbi Michael Sternfield commented in The Huffington Post recently, Schulmey has overstepped the remit of a Rabbi in breaching the confidence and trust placed in him. Despite Schulmey's protestations that Michael wanted this published to ' bring the family together,' I am certain most people with a modicum of intelligence will recognize this book for what it is - a shameless, money-making act of exploitative betrayal and greed. We are a powerful community and the movement for complete vindication of Michael's name needs to be a patient one. We all long to hear Michael's voice, some may even need it - this isn't the way. Please don't reward Schulmey for how he treated Michael while he lived. On Dateline, he called Michael a misogynist with a 'messiah complex ' and may well have been guilty of 'unspeakable crimes.' He did not stand for Michael and is most definitely not his friend. Shulmey, instead pursued the subtextual and unspoken line that Michael may have been guilty of molestation, but shouldn't be blamed for it due to his own childhhod abuse. This is a dangerous book for Michael's name and legacy, and as a powerful fan community we must not support it. We are strong if we stand together. Michael asked us if we would be there; my answer is - yes.

Dazzlerillusio,
I whole heartily agree with you!!! I was having the same conversation prior to getting
online, and there was your posting. What happen to the confidentiality between patient and therapist?? Even if Boteach claims he was not Michael’s therapist, he said they were friends. Real friends don’t try reaping benefits at your friend’s expense! There is a thing called morals. It’s surprising to me how many people lack this trait. If Michael wanted those tapes published he had several years to express that to Boteach!!! Why wait until he can’t speak on his own behalf.
If I were Michael’s family, executor or lawyers, I would go after him and sue him. Even if it took a couple of years and a few dollars, I wouldn’t let him get away with this!! Show the written or verbal permission you received from Michael to publish and go public with the tapes.
That is not a man of God that will sell his soul to the devil to make money!!!
Remember, what goes around, comes around!!!!!
You will face your judgment day in front of God!!!!
Like Dazzlerillusio said, please Michael fans don’t be tempted to buy this book!!!
Think of Michael’s soul and what he stands for…Love – L-O-V-E!!!!!
Thanks
Dawn

Boteach and Michael had not been in correspondence for the last six years of Michael's life, because Boteach did not stand by Michael when he faced charges in 2003. We do not even know if Michael intended to do a book. For all we know, this could be a carrot stick to convince the fans to buy this shabbily conceived page-turner.

They clearly sound like therapy sessions, with Boteach introducing 'leading' questions into the stream of the conversation and offering advice back. As we all know Michael considered it unacceptable to criticize another artist publicly, therefore the fact that Boteach has released audio of Michael speaking a little uncharitably about Madonna demonstrates beyond doubt that these private tapes were never meant for sale or public release. As leading Rabbi, Michael Sternfield has commented on The Huffington Post recently, Schulmey has overstepped the line and remit of a Rabbi in breaching the confidence and trust placed in him. Despite Schulmey's constant protestations that Michael wanted this published to ' bring the family together,' I am certain most people with any intelligence will recognize this book for what it is: a shameless, money-making act of exploitative betrayal with staggering deception at its heart. Could all true fans please not buy this book. This is not how Michael wanted to reconnect with us, the concert was going to be his way of doing that. Please pass on this post to Facebook and other public access sites. We are a powerful fan community - let's also be a wise one. We are not here to enable people like Schmuley to profit from Michael's death.

Wow!!! Janet you were fantastic and inspired. You could read it on your face, and see your heart through your eyes!! What a wonderful tribute you paid to Michael. Anyone that couldn’t feel your heart that night lives without feelings!!
I love you Janet for Always having Mike’s back!! What a comfort you must have been for him. I Thank God for You!!
How my heart aches for his precious children and his family! I am hurting like millions of other fans. Born in 1960 in Chicago, I grew up on Jackson music. You were my idol and you still are. There is not one day that goes by, that I don’t think about you Mike.
I know the pain of losing a loved one, so I feel from my heart, what your family is going through. It’s a hole that will never be filled. I thank God, that he blessed us all with the wonderful gift of memory.
I know you can see the out pouring of love that we all have for you, this is something that never falters, and it will be there forever! There is no other artist that could ever sell out 50 shows in record time, and have another 200,000 people waiting to get a ticket.
YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE KING OF POP!!!!!!
Your song writing was far more than that of a genius; it revealed the love and the passion of your soul!! How you wrote from your heart and then interpreted it into music for us, was absolute brilliance. I love all of your songs, but Stranger in Moscow…the intensity in your eyes during it, just melts my soul. How I wish I could have put my arms around you at that time, and just hugged you, and shared some comforting words to your soul!!! Well Mike, you know them now!!
You are the rarest treasure, with a radiance that will never be duplicated!!
May Your Soul Rest In Peace Forever And A Day!!
You Are Deeply…Deeply Missed!!!!
I Love You More, From The Heart Always!!

I see this video and tears flow in my eyes, i still can't believe he is gone, may God wrap his arms around him until eternity, we all miss him so much, we all love you Michael Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, I loved this when i saw it, and everytime after. And when Scream came on i knew Janet was coming, my step-dad said "no she wouldnt do that" and i said "oh yes she would". He couldnt believe it. And when I showed it to my little cousin she was watching so intently, and when Janet came out, it was like she was hipnotised, she started at it the whole time not looking away for anything. And the whole time her mouth was wide open.
I cant wait for the movie. I need to know how much the tickets are so i can go. If anyone knows PLZ tell me.
RIP MICHAEL, I LOVE U!

It was an amazing performance for a truly amazing performer.
I will remember you, your presence, your voice, your talent and your giving heart every single day.
I will love you, Michael Jackson, forever...

Janet is one of the bravest people I know. She was amazing on stage and at the end when she looked to Heaven I know Michael's spirit was with her. I don't know how she found the strength to perform. She did it for him and for us his fans that love him and miss him so much. God bless her and Katherine and those beautiful children who have lost their Angel.

Michael is truly legendary.
He will never be forgotten by anyone.
To have his sister Janet do that beautiful tribute to him was just wonderful.
Michael was and still is the King Of Pop and noone can ever take that away from him.
I still cry everyday when I am listening to his songs over and over again on my ipod and I look back at all of this and wonder Why Did He Have To Die?
Michael is in a better place now where he is away from the cruel intentions of the media and other horrors of the world.
God bless the Jackson Family and God Bless Michael Jackson!!!
Wish I could have him Michael in concert Sad
Hopefully going to go see his movie though!!!
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!

i LOVE this songgg.
itsss so sad hes gone ):
i love youo MJ<3

Janet was fantastic!! She danced so great!! And with the video of "Scream" behind her I had the lovely feeling that Michael danced with her!! It was really nice!!!Smiling

Janet was fantastic! You could feel the emotion just watching her perform. I LOVED how they made it look like she was dancing with Michael again. Just awesome! Janet, I hope you realize that Michael's fans are your fans as well. You are the Queen! God bless.

This was so amazing. Janet you were incredible! And the dancers...I thought they were the original dancers that were going to tour with Michael, but Janet alluded to them being completely new and just having learned the dances. AMAZING! Thank you Janet, MTV and Madonna for doing this and honoring Michael in such a special way.

This was great!! Fantastic! I just loved to see Janet dancing like the old times with her brother. Long live the King! Like he said... " It's all about love! L - O - V - E ! "

ALL OF MICHAEL'S FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FANS....GO TO YOUTUBE SEARCH CENTER STAGE HOUMA, LA ....THIS IS MY NEPHEW!!!

ALL OF MICHAEL'S FANS AND FAMILY HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS...

omg i love MJ and that was nice of Janet to do that!!!

Hello everyone,

I really enjoyed watch the VMA tribute to Michael. Janet did a excellent job and the dancer did a good job too, but I would have like to see the original back-up dancers in all of Michael videos to have performance on stage with Janet and with the other videos that they shown that night.

Let's keep listening & playing his music

This was absolutely OUTSTANDING! Only the JACKSON'S CAN DO IT JUSTICE!!! Way to go Janet, fantastic performance! To all the dancer, you did a great job too.

Fantastic, simply the highlight of the night!

To all out there making nagative statments about Mr. Michael Jackson, I will just keep on praying for you. A Man so talented and so down to earth, you will never receive the gifts of life as he did, because your hearts are closed as well as your minds, so sad. Mr. Michael Jackson will live on as Jesus Chirst is living on.

THIS WAS GREAT tribute for him! Verry good dancers!! Really will miss Michael!!! HE was Awesome Dancer and person!!

I Thought janet did Wonderful.If that was me i would have cried on stage . I know she misses him so much ,but he will always be there with her.
