I remember the little MJ and the J5 like it was yesterday. The talent contested between the J5 and the Osmond Brothers at that time that was won hands down by the J5. Who would have thought that sweet little boy with that amazing smile as he sang would turn into such a strange man? In a interview MJ said that he was only comfortable and "at home" when he was on stage, any other time he felt strange and out of place. His life reflected that. He was only 5 when Joe put him on that stage and wouldn't let him play with the neighborhood kids because he had to perform ... and he's been there ever since. That's all he ever knew. Now his kids are going to be influenced by that same man who abused MJ. Which will be worse for them? MJ's strangeness or Joe's controlling harshness? At least MJ loved his kids unconditionally and they had no doubt. Time will tell. My heart bleeds for them. MJ is now fixed in time, evolving no more. Let's see what his kids do with their lives now.
