Joe Jackson : MJ's Son Blanket is the NEXT Michael Jackson
Remembering dad: Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket share emotional insights into life with Michael Jackson in new documentary and Joe Jackson believes Michael's son Blanket is bound for greatness
King of Pop's three children have opened up about the devastating repercussions following his sudden death and their struggle to cope without their father in an intimate new film.
Forthcoming documentary Remembering Michael Jackson will be a candid account of the family’s personal struggle to deal with the void left by the pop legend’s passing at a rented Los Angeles home in June 2009.
The film will see all three children – Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II, commonly referred to as Blanket – open up about life without Michael and share a series of never before heard stories about the reclusive star.
Paris was filmed giving her account just weeks before she attempted to take her own life at the Jackson family estate.
Speaking wistfully of her father, she admits he died before he could fulfill a promise he made to her.
She said: ‘He promised he would teach me how to moonwalk but never got around to it. I really hope his legacy lives on forever. I will never forget him ever. He was amazing.’
Paris also opened up about their detached lifestyle on Neverland Ranchl, admitting: ‘We didn’t know a lot of kids our own age. We never left the ranch that often.’
All three children are keen to work in the entertainment industry, with Paris – currently residing in a Utah treatment facility following her suicide attempt – hoping to become an actress.
But while they rarely left the ranch, which was sold in 2005, younger brother Blanket has fond memories of his time on the sprawling California estate.
‘He had like a zoo, basically. He had giraffes, lions. He had alligators and snakes,’ he recalled. ‘You probably heard of it, but he had a chimp named Bubbles.’
In one of the film’s more stunning revelations, Prince Michael, 16, admits his father didn’t tell him his real name until he was six.
He said: ‘He never really wanted to tell us who he is as a person. It took me until I was six-years old to learn his name was Michael Jackson – he was always daddy to me and that was it.’
But while grandfather Joe admits it’s ‘a lot more work than she thinks it is,’ he believes Blanket has the potential to follow in their father’s footsteps
Joe Jackson thinks Blanket will be an even bigger star than Michael- after hearing a premonition from a fortune teller
Michael's father estranged father Joe Jackson was included in the documentary. Michael had spoken out about how his father abused him as a child and would regularly whip him during rehearsals, though he credited that incessant work ethic as the reason why he was so successful.
Now Joe appears to have his eyes set on another member of the Jackson family as being bound for stardom, saying in the documentary that he was told by a fortune teller that Blanket is bound for greatness.
'They said there would never be another Michael Jackson and I say we already have one. I said he just has to be trained. That kid is the spitting image of Michael when he was smaller,' Joe Jackson said.
This is so ****ing embarassing. They are destroying his legacy. They are using his ****ing children to earn money to "finish" a stupid project which nobody cares about?
Leave him and his children alone. Joe better stay the **** away from Blanket, this little baby boy is way too cute to hang out with an ugly old ass man like Joe.

And @ this mess:
what a joke
I can't wait till Prince turns 18,I hope he gets himself and Blanket far away from the Jackson leeching ass family.they're abs HORRIBLE.Katherine is USING Michael's children to get some money for the flop ass brothers (I'm looking at you Jermaine )
Of course there will be no another Michael Jackson, because there is only one. But MJ was trained A LOT to be the entertainer he was, and anyone who has the same determination, drive, work ethic and focus can be VERY GOOD.
I just hope they dont force in the children to be something they dont want. It has to come from themselves, otherwise they burn out.
