I don't find his family disturbed. In fact as far as I am aware none of Jackson siblings have ever been in trouble with the law. Michael was accused and acquitted and the FBI investigated him for 17 years and found nothing. Which shows me the trial was politically motivated and exploited by the media to get profits and ratings.
So the Jackson family seemed to have been raised very well especially to come from an entertainment family with the children starting out so young. I love to see a family who is very united and strong. So many families nowadays are splintered.
We cannot say that MJ wasnt a good father. The vast amount of people who actually knew him and his children have always raved about him being a great father. That cannot be taken away from him by people that don't even know him or his children.
And there is no evidence that he was an active addict either at the time of his death. Everything he was taking was to help him sleep.......not get high.
So even though his method for sleep was legal but unorthodox that does not mean he wasnt a good father though. Most children aren't in their parents bedroom at night when the parent or parents are resting and neither was MJs children.
It is very evident that Paris, Prince and Blanket are exceptional children who were is a deep meaningful relationship with their father who was everything to them since he had raised them since their birth. If we had more fathers like MJ who makes sure they spend quality time with their children every single day the children would be far better off.
No one will ever come close to MJ as far as being the greatest entertainer the world has ever known. And if anyone has watched This Is It knows his talents were still there and his voice just as captivating as it always had been.
He would have rocked the world again if he had not been killed.

Good comments!!! I totally agree!! Thank you!
I have seen many singers and groups in concert or at a show on "come-back" tours.
No one ever sounded as great as they did when their songs were hits.
Even Paul Anka, who was very good, didn't sound nearly the same.
The only other singer I saw in person/ in concert who sounded exactly like his records from the past, was Roy Orbison.
I saw him a few months before his death in 1988. He put on a fantastic show, even though I heard he wasn't feeling well at the time.
But Roy Orbison was not vigorously dancing nor running up & down the stage while singing!
In "This Is It", MJ's songs sounded just as great as they always did and he was still in such great shape,
still doing his dance steps like he was in his 20s!
A few others that I saw, who were good, but just were not the same at all... some were close, but not the same:
Tony Bennett... ~ 2004. ... it was OK & very close to being the same.
Righteous Brothers... 2003 ... I saw them a month before Bobby H's death. He was strung out, messed up
songs big time, then started giggling, while Bill Medley kept singing, glaring at BH. Bill M was very good, but
not the same as earlier days. I saw them in concert 3 times in the 60s
The Doors... ~ 2007..... of course not everyone from the original band was there, (RIP, Jim Morrison)
and it was more of a tribute with a slide show/video through-out. Kinda close, but no banana!! You could at
least kinda dance in the aisles to the old songs they played.
Peter, Paul & Mary.... I saw in 2003. Very good, but not the same.
Joan Baez... 1998 .... Good, not the same.
Johnny Mathis... I saw in ~ 2006 (?),,, very good, but not close to his younger days.
Kingston Trio..... ~ 2002... good, but not as good as in younger days.
Everly Bros.... ~ 2001.... very good. A close third, after Roy Orbison!
Rolling Stones... ~ 1999.... very good, but not as...
And a lot more. (I'll think of them later, after I post this.) Not one was a close comparison to MJ!
I also saw several "Doo Wop" and "Oldies" Shows/Concerts (can't remember any names at the moment) in NYC, Vegas,
Atlantic City, & CT... with each show having many groups... and individuals.... each singing their hit song(s) from the past.
Some were just one-hit wonders during their career, and it didn't even sound the same.
Nope.... IMO, nobody made a come-back like MJ did. I saw it in "This Is It". I realize there was a lot of editing done to
make it great ... it was films from rehearsal, not filmed for a later documentary. And he was preparing for a live tour!
I've always wanted to see Tina Turner and Cher in concert, but DIMMIT, never had the opportunity for either...
I've heard both TT & C still sound the same.
The other person I'd like to see (from my past) is Rod Stewart. A friend said he puts on
a good show, but can't sing, jump around, nor dance LIVE... like he did in his younger days.
I still love HIM and would definitely forgive any errors he made!!
