Joe Jackson Wants To Take Grandkids On Tour, as "Jackson 3"??

I don't think he should be allowed near these children, look what he did to his own. It would be a case of child endangerment, I doubt very much Katharine will allow it. Hopefully there will be something in the custody arrangements to protect these kids from exploitation by anyone.

You gotta be kidding. Joe Jackson is NOT A FATHER OR GRANDFATHER. He's just looking for another exploitation of in this case his grandchildren. You are a waste of flesh and oxygen. You need to go hang out with your two friends, Sharpton & Jackson and maybe bungee jump with a defective cord...

The guy messed his OWN son up so much that Michael spent his whole life trying to relive the childhood that was so heinously robbed from him for his father's gain. If the children become singers down the road, which they might...then let them do it on their own... LET THEM BE CHILDREN!

Now now, settle down! Katherine and Debbie have come to an agreement not to let the children near Joe and Katherine keeps the kids. But here are further thoughts: Most child abusers never change, and he could well be one of them. But he is an elderly man whose life was wrapped up in the success of his son, who tragucally came to an unexpected death. Now he is unsure how to live NOT in the industry. He sees how much the children are loved and wants to see them as a fresh start. I agree he needs to be kept from them on a long pole, but before we all rush to judgenment have a little mercy for his despair. I am in the industry,s inner circle and this is a common reaction when a parent dies that they look at the next generation to see if they will carry on the family tradition. But the kids need time to grieve, and if THEY choose to play the feild it should be with an independent agent. So I in no way condone the behaviour of Joe, but feel sorry for him. Katherine will do the right thing as will Janet, but for now try and be a little understanding, and realize this is an act of a grieving father who is lost right now.

This is the reason Michael Jackson never wanted his father to be close to his children. Joe you need to get a life. Your time has come and gone. I am confident that Ms. Katherine will not let this happen. Please give them the life their father wanted them to have which does not include Joe Jackson. Let them have their childhood and decide for themselves if they want to become musicians.

who cares, WHAT AN IDIOT

Katherine could not stand up to Joe with her own children. How will she stand up to him with Michael's children. These children need a stable life. Joe is seeing dollar signs, not so much love for his grandchildren. Look what he did to his own children and wife. He has not changed.

I don't believe in hell, but truly hope I am wrong because hell is exactly where Joe Jackson deserves to spend eternity.

i think he shouldnt force those kids to be a jackson 3 if they dont want to. i think its kind of crazy, because they definatley wont be as good as micheal

Joe should just go slip into darkness and stay away from the children. He needs to look in the mirror at the man in mirror who messed up his own children lives. All children need a childhood to become true adults. Joe took that away from his children. Family Court should keep him away from Michaels'children, if not make sure all visits are supervised.

this man is sick. all he is doing is thinking of money. he isn't even grieving his own sons death.
he's money hungry and wants to in the limelight again. what he trying to do find a way to make money for himself. i hope Jermaine and the rest of the stop him.

I would hope that the entire family is able to come to grips with the reality that they are all emotionally scared from their upbringing, but in Michael's case he happened to be the most profitable to the "Jackson Family Trust" and he alone bore the brunt of his fathers(and I use the word "father" loosely) abuse, and now that burden of being "profitable" has fallen on his children as far as Jo Jackson is concerned, Michael would turn over in his grave if he thought for one moment that Jo Jackson had his greedy claws in anything that has to do with his children. I pray that Mrs.Katherine is as beautiful as Michael portrayed her to be and keeps his childre far from harm. RIP MJ- WE LOVE AND MISS YOUR LIGHT AND MAGIC.

I usually try not to say anything bad or negative, but I think this would be totally against what their dad wanted. Joe Jackson needs to stay far away from these children, and if the family can't see to that, then they need to be taken care of by someone who can.....

Notice in the pictures that Michael is hugging his mother and standing close to her. He has distance between him and his father with no physical contact. Joe, have respect for Michael! Honor his wishes and stay AWAY from his kids!
