things that stood out. that Oprah mentioned Katerine needing lipstick: remember the little thing about Latoya putting on her lipstick?the fact that she has her people , he has his people . that is a lot of hands in the pot.the idea that Oprah was so concerned about how many people were there and how much of a hot mess yet it looks to me like Gail King is there. hypocrisy ,or is she trying to make the point that i just made.it is really kind of something to notice that they were all so nervous about what the kids would or would not decide to do. Michael didn't have that option . if he didn't want to get a plane or a stage Joe jerked him up and physically made him. now what i wonder about is if Katerine is really that concerned about it or if there is someone in the background (Michael or otherwise) that she is having to mind her p's &q's with concerning the kids.the remark about being proud of Oprah as a black woman is interesting .

Michael could have been involved in that, but I've always had the impression that Michael doesn't make his kids do anything that they really don't want to do (aside from schoolwork, chores and that kind of thing). I don't think the kids care for Oprah, and I still think that Howard Mann (who was also supposedly behind this interview) is blackmailing the family, so Katherine's hands may have been somewhat tied in this matter. Either way, I definitely don't think the kids were happy about having to be interviewed, as I am sure they know all too well just how negatively Oprah has portrayed their father (that is until he "died" and she saw dollar signs in jumping on the "let's praise Michael" bandwagon).

As Oprah's vehicle came into the driveway, the blond lady (Erin I think?) greeted her and told Oprah that Katherine was willing to talk about anything. I believe the statement Oprah or Erin used was "no holds barred", and Oprah specifically asked about the charges, to which Erin replied "Well of course she (Katherine) is going to say he was innocent".
In that I am sure she has resolved to forgive O for her stance ( or lack thereof) regarding Michael. And she is smart to make O think of her as an ally. Plus, maybe, she felt a little bit bad for basically punking Oprah. Of course O and her vain self would leave this comment in. What I said earlier re "sweetening the deal:" there were rumors that O at first turned down the interview with K. Supposedly, the Jackson camp approached O about it, and it was deemed not interesting enough until it was hinted that the children would be in. Which makes sense from our perspective- thinking that Michael wanted O's platform.
Also, there comes a point in life where you realized holding on to anger is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
O in all her sincerity assures the viewer she wanted to honor the memory of Michael and not exploit his children as she did not "want the spirit of Michael Jackson visit me in my sleep."Oprah, you don't have to worry about Michael's spirit. Michael the man is another story... 8-)
Randy also had issues with this interview, I think. I remember he tweeted something about this having been done without his knowledge. Have you all noticed how Randy has REALLY toned it down in the past months, btw?As far as the kids: I do think they don't care for O, and they know why. However, I am sure if this was all part of Michael's plan ( which I think is so), then they would probably be thrilled to help their Dad. And no, I don't believe Michael would make them do anything they did not agree to. I am sure they were concerned about getting their part right. And part of that might have been to appear none too thrilled to be interviewed. I mean, how weird would it seem if they were all for it? Also, I keep thinking that Blanet is being kept quiet for a reason. He is rumored to be a little prankster like his Daddy, and he is younger. So he might slip.I still think about Paris' look in that one scene. Actually, her and Prince exchanged glances perfectly. Such great kids! The "I'm proud of you comment" can be understood in context of the time Katherine grew up in, a sociological statement if you will, considering that black women in her time had very limited opportunities. Katherine is a very wise woman and she is very religious. In that I am sure she has resolved to forgive O for her stance ( or lack thereof) regarding Michael. And she is smart to make O think of her as an ally. Plus, maybe, she felt a little bit bad for basically punking Oprah. Of course O and her vain self would leave this comment in.
