Step Up Versus Sales

[Blind Gossip] Although she has received many awards in the past, this female singer was not in attendance at the MTV VMAs.

However, that doesn’t mean she was unaware of what was going on that night!

Her and her fam had this huge fight about [Her Brother]. They said that she needed to step up and defend his legacy and the family name before the VMAs because people were trying to erase it. They were plenty mad and they wanted her to make a public announcement about how just plain wrong it is. She refused.

Why did she refuse to defend her family?

She’s on tour and she doesn’t want anything to hurt ticket sales.

Sounds like she is more concerned about staying in control of her own life and career!

    Janet still has earning power, why would she jeopardize her livelihood. It’s time for those Jackson’s to start working, there’s plenty of shop jobs available.

    She has to worry about herself, and not go getting into defending her deceased brother.

    Yep. She needs to focus on herself and distance herself from the rest of her family!

    I think people should form their own opinion and not be forced into taking sides by anyone including friends and family.

    [Optional] Do you think she did the right thing? Yes, she needs to be concerned about her own life and career.

      I’m changing my answer, this might be Janet Jackson. At first, I thought it’s either Ariana or Taylor based on the related blind, but also based on the related blind I think this might really be Janet Jackson. Ive always thought that its obvious that MJ was secretly gay tho, like Bradley and Leo.

    Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson.

    They ARE trying to erase his legacy! But that ship had sailed. I think not attending was a good compromise.

  25. knit-tink says

    Singer: Janet Jackson
    Her Brother: Michael Jackson, whose name was “conveniently” erased from the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award by everyone except for Missy Elliot

    Whether she did the right thing depends on whether she believes the allegations are true or not. If she does, she did the right thing by sticking to her beliefs. If she does not, then she is a money-hungry coward.
    (Personally, after viewing the counter evidence, I believe the allegations are BS)

    Brother: Michael Jackson

    I don’t know whether or not she did the right thing, but she probably did. I didn’t watch, but I read that stars on the red carpet were being asked about MJ and his legacy…in relation to all the sex abuse allegations & the recent documentary. Also, the Michael Jackson Video Vangard Award was awarded, but MJ’S name was omitted.

    She needs this tour bc she had to quit the last one. She did what she had to do…

  36. yesyesyall says

    Singer: Janet Jackson
    Clue: (1986 album- Control)
    Did she do the right thing? Yes. She hasn’t been a player of the ‘Jackson card’ earlier in her career to boost herself (although that surname was definitely a bonus) so there’s no hypocrisy in her staying out of it now.

    Optional: probably. Its pretty hard to defend him knowing everything that we do now.

    People wouldn’t hold it against you if you defended your brother but maybe she knows he is guilty?

  45. Alllie says

    ooohhh miss Jackson. don’t blame her, let it go and move on. nobody will ever know the truth and he has kids that don’t need to be reminded of this every waking moment.

  54. RubyRichmond says

    Miss Jackson if you’re nasty.
    Clue: control
    She probably refused because she knows it’s true.

  55. lmhilly1971 says

    Michael Jackson

    I don’t blame her one bit. Sounds like the money hungry family are just worried about themselves.

  59. amagod121 says

    Obviously the brother is Michael Jackson and I know that Janet Jackson is on tour, so I am guessing her as the sister who said nothing.

    Optional: Yes, I do but for the wrong reasons…Family should not condone, support, or simply ignore an abuser who is part of the family.

    MTV wants to erase permanently Michale name from the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award

    [Optional] Do you think she did the right thing? Yes. He never cared about her. Why would she since this pedo isdead already.

    Hahahaha, avoiding the VMAs isn’t going to help her ticket sales! She isn’t Michael. She wasn’t involved in the issues concerning the young boys. The best thing is to let. it. die.

    MTV has removed Michael Jackson’s name from the Video Vanguard award.

  77. Excitable_Girl says

    Could it be Ariana Grande and Frankie? Yes, she did the right thing. She is the star in the family, he is a hanger-on.

  88. traherne says

    Janet Jackson

    She rode his coat tails to fame, dropped the last name when he was first disgraced, pretended to be close to him and his children when he died and it was cool to be a fan again for a while and now wants to distance herself again.

    She’s never been a very nice human being, regardless of what the truth about her brother is.

    • sweetnm80 says

      She rode his coattails? Really? She actually didn’t want to be associated with the Jackson name and wanted to do it all herself. She’s sold millions of albums and it still amazes me that people think her brother had anything to do with it. If that’s the case, all the Jackson’s would of had a successful career.

  95. Brunettetalk says

    Janet and Michael Jackson . He’s dead so he doesn’t care about his legacy. His family just wants the money to flow unabated. I ageee with Janet.

  96. luvprue1 says

    Singer : Janet Jackson
    Her brother: Michael Jackson

    Optional: Yes. Saying Anything about rather, or not Michael molested those kids will put the issue back in the spot light.

    Janet … Miss Jackson if ya’ nasty
    Michael Jackson

    Michael is the GOAT. He was cleared of any and all charges and accusations in a court of law.
    I can understand Janet’s hesitation, but in the end it’s ALL about family ties that bind. She coulda, woulda, shoulda spoke out for her brother, because he’s not here to defend himself. There wouldn’t be a famous Janet Jackson or Jackson 5 legacy without the King of Pop.

    • aaaAtika says

      Absolutely right! Since it’s both his and my b-day tomorrow… Happy B-Day MJ! Love you!

    the Vanguard award at the VMAs, I’m fine with it not being associated with him.

    Singer: Janet Jackson —> Clue “in control of her own life” – her album Control

    Her Brother: Michael Jackson

    [Optional] Do you think she did the right thing? Yes….besides he did enough on his own to tarnish his ‘legacy’…they’re just worried about their pockets

  109. AlisonWonderland says

    “Control”, she’s currently on tour

    Doing the right thing? I think so.

    “In control” clue

    I don’t think her ticket sales are going well so she’s probably more concerned about that.

  116. 4sixx2 says

    Janet Jackson.she should have gone to the VMAs and NOT defended Michael. That’s not her job.

  118. truth24 says

    Janet Jackson and her brother Michael. She did the right thing, the night was a celebration of other artists, not her brother. That’s not to say that she shouldn’t defend him, at a different time and place, if this is what she wants to do.

    • jj the great says

      True but I think they’re talking not about the m*lestation claims and all that but specifically about the “Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award” being referred to without his name all night at this year’s VMA’s when it was given to Missy Elliott. I thought it was smart on MTV. Let it be about the winner rather than people arguing about the name.
      The funny thing about that award is that it wasn’t even supposed to be an award but MJ misunderstood. Look it up- hilarious.

    • jj the great says

      *wasnt supposed to be an award originally. Basically they were CALLING him a Vanguard, and showing his videos in a montage was all it was gonna be like a tribute, but he started giving a speech and held this weird like…. stage prop?… of a dinky musical instrument & held it like an award. So they just ran with it. I saw it on a documentary where they interviewed like the past 20 years directors (or whatever) of the VMAs lol. Crazy.

    She did what all of the Jacksons do -she looked out for herself. They are such a despicable family.
