Jermaine Jackson: I Wish It Was Me...I Was Michael's Backbone

In an interview broadcast this morning on NBC's 'Today' show, Jermaine Jackson said he wishes he had died instead of his younger brother. He said that Michael was 'a gift from Allah.' He also said he would like to see Neverland Ranch as his brother Michael's final resting place:

No final plans for a funeral have been announced still. Just unconfirmed speculations.

It's really hard on a lot of

It's really hard on a lot of people.. Michael has been around my whole child hood and everyone that I know has a special Michael Jackson momment, as to when he inspired them in some way. I'm still shell shocked behind this. I actually cried while driving my car, when I heard the news on the radio. I've never had the pleasure of meeting Michael Jackson personally, but he will forever live in my heart as I do love him like my own family. Blessing to the whole Jackson clan... even Joe. Praying for thier strength through this most sad moment. The Jackson 5 song "whos lovin you" is my favorite MJ child song, "off the wall" stole my heart many years ago.. ALWAYS loved that song and always will- MJ is the best -KING

Ok I am upset that Joe

Ok I am upset that Joe Jackson did an interview with CNN and Jermaine did one with NBC. These 2 channels have been nonthing but disrespectful to MJ. NBC aired that MJ interview from 2003 2 days ago. The one where MJ said he like to share his bed with little boys. SMH

Ahhhhh this is terrible. You

Ahhhhh this is terrible. You know all those charges brought against him took a toll on him. Those dirty evil people are the ones to blame. As Jermaine said Michael was such a genuine man. He wouldn't dream of hurting an ant! Ahh Michael, I'm hurt that he's gone but I'm glad he's in rest now

This whole situation is just

This whole situation is just so damn sad. I was watching this at work trying to hold back tears. God is just snatching people up left right and centre. When people like MICHAEL JACKSON start dying, that's how you know things in this world are quickly spiraling downwards. Every other day someone is dying whether they be famous or not. It's definitely a sign...whether or not we take it in is up to us. Michael was so special and even though he was "different" you can't discredit him for who or what he was. He was special...so special and it broke my heart to hear of his passing. I grew up with him and I'm only 24. I've cried almost every day since I heard the news....and to hear the wicked things people say about him are just that much more hurtful so I can't even begin to imagine what his family is going through... I feel so terrible, and this interview really made me sad. But I appreciate that it was done tastefully....Jermaine handled that reporter well because I saw him trying to get outta hand a couple of times there. Lsst night in downtown Toronto we had a huge MJ Tribute party...it was beautiful...three hours of non-stop Michael Jackson music. No drama. No fuss. It was beautiful...now which other entertainer do you know that could bring people together and I mean THOUSANDS of people together in one place to dance and sing and cry and laugh in the night in partial rain showers ? I was a part of history and I'll never forget it. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MICHAEL. REST PEACEEFULLY SWEETHEART!

I understand your pain and all...I'm distraught over Michael's passing too. But because he did die it goes to show you that he is HUMAN too no different from anyone else. People die every hour of EVERYDAY and his passing is *NO* sign that the world is coming to an end! As special & extraordinary as he was on Earth...he is just like the rest of us to God....May his soul rest in peace!

Please dont get mad but with my comment if the rumors about the drugs are true then Michael was living a horrible life, to have to have uppers, downers, pain meds and sleeping IV's. It is almost like now he is finally at peace, we may be sad but lord his life appears not to have been a good one. We loved him but he never realized what love was!

RIP Heard Michael Jackson Funeral was confirmed for 10am at LA Staples Center, Tuesday July 7th. Ugh, I have work...hope there's a televised procession at least.

Either way, I'm sure MJ would

Either way, I'm sure MJ would said the same...no one wants their loved ones to go. I think MJ served his purpose especially in this time where folks don't appreciate someone until they're gone...MJ still sending messages through his death. We all expected this to happen, but not right now. They'll be many more we grew up with passing away. His tour would have reminded us of his legacy as well, but unfortunately this had to have happened

The passing of Michael

The passing of Michael Jackson has seen the end of an era. An amazing artist, a compassionate man a tortured soul. finally may he rest in peace beyond the realms of those who persecuted him. In these twilight hrs may we bask in the radiance of his brilliance. Appreciate the musical gifts he has left us with and share them for generations to come. Michael a true showman right up to the end I fear will be the last of his kind. Perhaps the greatest all round entertainer mankind will ever know. Searching for his childhood all his life we can only hope that he has found it finally on the nether side of the pearly gates. You will be sadly missed by those who grew up to the sound of your soul, gazed in awe at your theatrical vision and shared your compassion in humanitarian aid. You will live on in our hearts as your songs return us to memories of times gone by.....and may we learn from the tragedy that was your life. in loving memory...

FYI, they grew up as Jehovah's Witnesses. Jermaine is Muslim now and it has been said that Michael became Muslim as well. And if they give him a janaza, then that would confirm it. Their mother and Rebbie are still Jehovah's Witnesses.

Michael's was indeed a gift from above. He gave his heart to the world and they always wanted more. It is a shame that Jordan Chandleris not being prosecuted for his lies that destroyed this bright star. We love you Michael you will live forever in our hearts... Xoxo

I really like the way the black community has rallied around the passing of MJ and embraced him. He was one of ours whether he changed his skin color or not. MJ has always known that, that's why he taught his children African-American history. Mike, Paris, and Prince will grow up to be very good citizens of the world and they will carry and defend their dad's legacy. Moonwalk in peace MJ.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW. And I'm going to mourn Michael forever, there is no getting over this. Michael was MURDERED by Dr. Murray. Michael was KILLED. I wish that the LA County DA starts prosecuting the criminals who took advantage of Michael's weaknesses and do JAIL TIME.
