Book Number 30 - You Are Not Alone, Michael Through a Brothers Eyes by Jermaine Jackson


I am a true Michael Jackson fan. I never believed any of the vicious rumors that went around and I fully believed Michael's life should have been saved. I never like using the word 'should' but in this case, I make an exception.

So you may say I went in biased, yes I did. I have read Moonwalk, I have never believed what I read in the tabloids and I believe Michael was one person clearly misunderstood. The people out there who believe the trash, need to read this book and BELIEVE. Jermaine is the fourth child in the Jackson family and the closest to Michael. Michael was the seventh child in the family, and if you look clearly at some emblems on jackets, furniture etc, you will see the number 7 in many cases.

Michael didn't have a childhood, we all know that. What we don't know is how we would have grown up with no childhood, majority of us can only imagine having one. We cannot make sense of some of Michael's ways but how can we?? how can you?

In this book Jermaine says when Michael met Shirley Temple they both hugged each other and cried as they both had their childhoods taken away and they understood each other.  Sure, many of us would love a childhood like these two but really, would you give up your childhood for this?

I found a lot of information I had never known about Michael and it blew my mind away. How Michael's car broke down near a car rental place, and the owner of this place was Jordy's father. Michael hired a car leaving with the promise to call the fathers son, Jordy, who was a big fan. The family and Michael became very close till one day Jordy's father needed money to pursue three movies worth about 5 million each, he was a director and needed the money. He tried to blackmail Michael who refused....I think you know the rest. Jordy didn't speak to his parents for 11 years after the allegations and Jordy's father shot himself about 3 months after Michael died. Sounds shifty doesn't it. Michael had money and fame and people abused it. Karma gives...

When I reached the last chapter, I had to pause and continue another time as it was all too much.
Sadly it seems on the night of his death Conrad was on the phone to a girl, he'd walked away from Michael after administering propofol and one moment the girl told police she was talking to Conrad, the next minute he wasn't there on the end of the phone line and all she could hear was strange noises. Propofol is an anaesthetic and can only be used by doctors in a hospital. Basically Michael died from proporfol overdose as too much entered his body and became toxic. He didn't die of 'drug overdose' as the media craps on about.

If you want to read the truth, if you can handle the truth then read this book. Its freaking amazing, it's an amazing insight into the life of the Jackson family.

RIP Michael, I love you

100/10
