She was a one-of-a-kind lady on and off the screen, known for her amazing talent, style, fashion and jewelry.
We have honored Elizabeth Taylor here many times on this website for her love and support for Michael and the Jackson family. Today, April 13, 2015 we are honoring Elizabeth Taylor with this special page on We Love 3T. Remembering Motown- Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson,
Jermaine Jackson, Marlon Jackson and Michael Jackson were five brothers from Gary, Indiana known to the world as the Jackson 5. The Jackson 5 started with Tito Jackson playing his father's guitar. Tito would wait for his father to leave the house to go to work and he would go and play his father’s guitar and his brothers would sing along and dance as they did household chores. Tito knew that if his father were to find out he would be in trouble but, the passion he had for playing the guitar ran deep and Tito took that chance anyway. Beyond Tito's control a string on the guitar broke and his father Joe found out. After having to pay the price for his actions Joe decided to have Tito show him what he knew. His brothers Jackie and Jermaine stepped in to support their brother and sang as he played the guitar. When Joe saw the musical talent of the boys, he saw a way to move his family into a new direction. The next day he brought Tito his very own guitar and started working with his sons on music. He taught them dance moves, how to look and how to stand. When the group first started out they were known as the Jackson Brothers, because originally the group consisted of only three older brothers Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson and Jermaine Jackson. Later on Marlon Jackson would join the group and Michael Jackson as well. Starting in 1964 to 1990 the Jacksons played a variety of music such as soul, pop, and disco. For six years the Jackson 5 was with Motown Records. They became the biggest pop music group of the 1970s. The Jackson 5 was the first musical group to have four singles reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100, those songs were "I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and “I'll Be There". Sometime later the Jacksons would have five more hits reaching number one on the R & B single charts, they included, "Mama's Pearl", "Never Can Say Goodbye" and "Dancing Machine". Berry Gordy at Motown put together a group called "The Corporation". The idea was to have different individuals working together at the same time to see to the Jackson 5’s success. He had some in charge of wardrobe, others did song writing, and others helped with school work. The Jackson 5 was the first African American teen group to appeal equally to all ethnic groups. It didn't matter the age or the color, the Jackson 5 was well loved and respected. The Jackson 5 would later leave Motown to go to CBS in 1976 and because of this move the Jackson 5 became better known as The Jacksons. Jermaine Jackson feeling that Motown was where it started and did not want to leave Motown. He decided to stay and began his solo career and younger brother Randy took his place with his brothers. The Jacksons were with Philadelphia International Records for two years. They later signed on to Epic Records. With Epic Records the brothers were allowed more control of their songwriting, production, and image. Their success continued into the 1980s with more hits such as "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)", "Lovely One", and "State of Shock". The group would then move on to each individual having success in solo careers and it became a launch pad for the greatest entertainer of all time; Michael Jackson. In 1984, the brothers would reunite with the Victory Tour, thanking their parents Joe and Katherine. In 1989, the Jacksons released a song and album, “2300 Jackson Street”, which included the Jackson 5 members Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Michael, and Marlon along with sisters Rebbie, LaToya and Janet. The song also included the next generation of Jacksons as well. When the music video was made for the song, fans were able to see the Jackson brothers all together with their family and children. In 1992, the Jackson family, with help from Suzanne de Passe (Berry Gordy’s assist at Motown), produced” The Jacksons: An American Dream”, a five-hour television miniseries based on the history of The Jackson family. In 1999, Michael and his brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2001, the brothers reunited and performed together at two of Michael Jackson’s tribute concerts. In 2008, it was announced that the Jackson 5 sold over 100 million albums worldwide, an achievement only done other by The Beatles.

Prince Is Giving Back...Prince Jackson is giving back by teaming up with a philanthropic group, a Sense of Home, to help furnish homes for those who have aged out of the foster care system. Just recently he furnish a home of an aged-out foster youth who is the mother of two.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Prince explained why this project was especially meaningful to him. "When my dad died, the thought of being in the foster system crossed my mind, but I was fortunate to have an incredible grandmother and cousin, TJ, to fall back on. It became a passion of mine for a few reasons: One is because we provide a home for kids and a home is very instrumental in the growth of a child. Secondly, because we are trying to end homelessness and this acts as a pre-empt against it." pic from: http://metro.co.uk Join Tito Jackson's Music Video...Fans could have a chance to have their video featured in Tito Jackson's music video!

*Time.com remembers Michael Jackson with never seen before photos of Michael and the Jackson family during the 70s at: http://time.com/3924736/michael-jackson-alix-dejean-nathan-bajar-photos/ *Michael Jackson lives on in the hearts of millions, not just for his unmatched talent and artistry but for his optimistic spirit of kindness, warmth and caring ...that is sorely missed today. In a world numbed by senseless acts of violence, hatred and needless suffering, we remember and honor Michael’s optimistic passion in spreading universal messages of peace, unity, healing and love to every part of the earth during the all-too brief time he was with us. On this day, our thoughts and prayers are especially with Michael’s children and loved ones as we honor his legacy of compassion and determination that all of us can make a better world without hurt, fear and sorrow. – The Estate of Michael Jackson More Support for Michael...
"Seven years ago this coming Saturday, the world lost an amazing artist and humanitarian devoted to helping children in need in all corners of the world. Michael Jackson's fans, including the Executors of his estate, prefer to remember the wonderful gifts Michael left behind instead of having to once again see his good name dragged through the mud by tabloid trash."
-The Estate of Michael Jackson "Unfortunately negativity will always sell. I urge you all to ignore the trash & the parasites who make a career trying to slander my father. The most pure people are always torn down. It will continue to be proven that my beloved dad has always been and forever will be innocent." -Paris Jackson "Please! May We All Let Him #RIP! #MichaelJackson The #KingOfPop June 25, 2009." -LaToya Jackson "7 years ago we lost one of our brightest lights and it has been a darker world ever since. #MJforever." -Taj Jackson "In death, Michael still suffers trial by media but his exoneration is enshrined in court transcripts 'journalists' are too lazy to read. Let Michael rest in peace. Leave." Him. Alone" - Jermaine Jackson "Judge Melville signed off a press statement before the trial which said prosecutors had confirmed no child porn was found." -Charles Thomson "Some of the documents appear to be copies of reports that were authored by Sheriff’s Office personnel as well as evidentiary photographs taken by Sheriff’s Office personnel interspersed with content that appears to be obtained off the internet or through unknown sources. The Sheriff’s Office did not release any of the documents and/or photographs to the media." -Kelly Hoover "You want to ignore it as it's so obvious they just want clicks for $ but it's incredibly difficult to allow my Uncle's legacy to be lied on." -TJ Jackson "On the 7th Anniversary of Michael Jackson's passing the Jackson's have to post information again that proves Michael Jackson was inocencece. It is proof that his legacy is alive and well. Some individuals still feel the need to destroy him after all of this time. It is also disturbing to think that certain media outlets find is amusing and entertaining to distress the Jackson family at this time. Our hearts and prayers go out to them. We stand in support the Jackson family." -We Love 3T Team Janet Jackson posted this message on Facebook on December 24, 2015...
Hey you guys… Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. I need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon. It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the Unbreakable Tour until the spring. Every date will be rescheduled. Please hold on to your tickets. They will be honored in a special way when the new schedule is announced. Please pray for me, my family and our entire company during this difficult time. There will be no further comment. I love you all so much and am ever grateful for your understanding and your love. Gon' b alright. -Janet Jackson The Marlon Jackson Study Peace Foundation...

Mrs. Kathy Knapp: I love the song “Black or While” as the message is so universal and important for society to remember the need to continuously strive for improvement; it is far too easy to regress. My panda bears are a graphic reference to MJ’s work; while the suitcase containing them reminds the viewer of how he choreographed his Billie Jean dance routine during his 30th anniversary celebration, working out of his own suitcase.

Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait visits Joshua...A year ago today Joshua had just begun the fight of his life. We all were and we did that with all our might, passion, love and desperation, lovingly supported by the team, friends and fans of the Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait. From day one YOU helped carrying us through the darkest hours of our lives so far.
Being a DOT was great, being a DOT in Michael's heart was even greater... but the greatest was yet to come! Today the one and only portrait with the one and only artist, David Ilan, and the sweet Michelle Easter entered our world (our home) for real. Words fail me to describe the feeling... so I'll let Joshua's face do the talking! Three hours we talked, laughed, ate, drank, joked, stared at the portrait and enjoyed each other’s company. John, my mom, yours truly (me), Josh, Michelle, David & Michael... well, in the shape of the portrait but it felt like him being there :) Besides the DOT drawings (even my mom has got a special DOT now) we had two more highlights. David showed Joshua how to draw with the technique...and after that they both rocked the house! WII guitar and drums came out and it was heart melting to see the two boys (yes, they just were like two little boys) jamming away. BLISS! Thank you for your time, your heart and soul, the DOTs, the laughs, the company. GOD BLESS!! Vera, John, Joshua Words from Joshua's Mother:Dear friends!
Thank you so much for all the heartfelt Christmas, birthday and New Years messages ♥ They were happily received and much appreciated! Bless you all! It had been Joshua's wish - when he was really poorly in 2009 - to spend the festive season in Bavaria if he was to live to see it. He did and so we travelled down south to celebrate Christmas and our new beginning with family and friends. Christmas Day was particularly special. Not only being the 25th of the month... but we visited the MJ memorial in Munich and met with Iris and Bettina from the MJTP. Very special moments were spent there, on a special day with special people. A memory we'll treasure forever! Last year I spent my birthday next to my sons hospital bed, watching him fighting for his life. In fact December 30th, 2009 had been one of the worst days during his treatment. This time I received the most precious gift, absolutely priceless, second to none! Spending my birthday with a happy, lively Joshua. In the hope that it'll stay that way I'd like to grab this opportunity wishing you & yours a happy, healthy and blessed New Year 2011. Make the most of it! Thank you for your help, love, support and friendship throughout this trying time and beyond! We are forever grateful! During the worst time of our lives we learned what it really means to be rich... once you have faith, love, hope and... ... FRIENDS. Thank YOU for being one of them! Love Vera, John and Joshua, my hero ♥ _______________________________________________________________ Happy Birthday Joshua!!Amber: Happy Birthday Joshua!!

Thank you all for sending healing vibes and powerful prayers! YOU are partly responsible for this miracle! How can we ever thank you enough!?! Josh is already enjoying things he had to miss out on for almost one year, like going to McDonald's! Little things one tends to take for granted but means so much to us now! God bless you and yours!

"My friend John McClain (co-executor) and I have insisted for many weeks to have certain tracks removed from Michael's new album. Unfortunately, our concerns were not taken seriously". -Jackie Jackson
"There are 7 great, no doubt, 100 percent Michael Jackson songs on the new album. I will ALWAYS support those". -Taj Jackson
I agree with you all, these vocals that we are hearing on the new release of my brother Michael is not 100% him. Sony should have known you can't fool the family and our fans, we are against this 1000%. As you can see this was done for GREED. They don't want to call the album King, because of Elvis, no disrepect to Elvis Michael Jackson is KING!! I Love you all, thank you for your Love and support...Always.
-Jermaine Jackson
Out of 10 songs listed only 7 of them are Michael Jackson. Someone just asked me", is 'Keep Your Head Up' (cont) http://tl.gd/6ukqo4

Janet Jackson Remembers the "Good Times" with brothers Michael and Randy.
During a news interview Janet Jackson says, that her brother Michael represented so much for her. Being very close growing up Michael at times was her teacher, best friend, brother, producer, and partner in writing. She said, that they would create songs together just for fun. As children after dinner she, Michael, and Randy had to clean up the kitchen and they each would take a job to do; like she would wash the dishes, Michael would sweep the floor, Randy would clean up all the center tops and that's when they would create music. They would create lyrics and three-part harmonies. That she said, was fun, they made it fun and they had nothing but, good times together.

Michael Jackson: The Experience
Ubisoft wants fans and others to know that the Michael Jackson: The Experience was in development well before Michael's sudden passing. They released this statement "The truth is that we were engaged with Jackson and the Jackson family long before his death. By all accounts he was very pro-actively looking for a partner that he felt could bring value - and Ubisoft seemed to fit the bill very well. So this isn't something that's been jumped on since his death - we've been working on this, despite the fact that we announced it quite recently, for a long time. It's well advanced in terms of the formats it's working on - we know how big he is, how loved he is by his fans and how successful he's been as an artist. Hopefully we can bring that to millions more gamers as well."
Ubisoft Michael Jackson: The Experience will be available for Kinect on for Xbox 360, PS3 Move, PSP, Wii and DS this Holiday for Christmas.
UPDATE: Michael Jackson: The Experience has been delayed for Xbox 360's Kinect and PlayStation Move until the early part of 2011. The Wii, Nintendo DS, and PSP versions are still on track for Nov 23, 2010.

UPDATE: Prayer Request for Joshua
I am a member and supporter of the Michael Jackson Tribute Portrait and I also know what it is like to have a family member suffering with Leukemia. Please be in prayer for Joshua and his family and help support this event in Germany if you can.
A benefit is being planned for Joshua Badder, he is a 13 year old dot member who discovered, on the day his family had tickets to see “This Is It,” that he has Leukemia.
Joshua has been fighting for his life since October, but according to his mother, Vera, he is doing a great job with the help of many loving people, especially Michael’s fans from the Tribute community. Joshua believes that his special dot, placed next to Michael’s dot in the area of the heart, is helping him get better.
A charity event is being planned for Joshua in Mulheim/Ruhr, Germany, Aug 28, 2010. Vera is reaching out to fans in the area and elsewhere to become involved. It will be the first time Joshua will attend any event since being diagnosed with cancer.
Resource Information from: www.MichaelJacksonTributePortrait.com
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Joshua will hopefully end the intensive therapy, once and for all. Around about 8.30am German time doctors will do an important bone marrow punction. The family of Joshua is asking you to think of Joshua more than ever. Please pray for Joshua and his family.
After, this treatment is done for Joshua, there still will be another 12 months of chemo pills and four minor OPs but, Joshua would be able to go back to school, play football, meet friends, go out and make a huge step back into a normal life.
-From: Joshua Mother Vera
Very Special Announcement:
We love 3T would like to do another Giant Card but, this time a "Thinking of You" card for Joshua. We do not want Treasure forgotten about by any means but, just like with Treasure’s card, this “Giant Card” will be especially made for Joshua and we hope to fill the card with messages from all the Jackson Family Fans!! Treasure’s card was made really special by all of you and I know that you will do the same for Joshua. Pictures of this card will also be taken as it is being done and will be placed on We Love 3T's website. You may send "Get Well wishes for the Joshua "Giant Card" to [email protected].
Wonderful NEWS about Joshua:
I just received an e-mail from Joshua's mom Vera...
My dear friends!
The clinic called, telling us that at least at their place NO CANCER CELLS were found in Joshua's bone marrow! We are still awaiting the results from the main hospital in Hamburg (that can take up to a week) but things look good! I'm sort of "speechless" right now so excuse the lack of words... I think it hasn't sunk in yet.
Thank GOD, thank YOU, thank MICHAEL, thank our ANGELS! For prayers, love, support and healing magic!
We could not love you any more!
*L*O*V*E* Vera, John & Joshua xxx
We Love 3T still plans to send Joshua a "Thinking of You Card". This is wonderful news and we truly pray that Joshua will remain Cancer FREE, please continue to pray and if you would like to send another message, please feel free to do so.

The Truth About Oprah Interview...
I would like to take this time out and say that I am sure you all have heard about the Oprah interview and I am sure you all have questions or concerns about what is happening. It is my understanding that there is no fighting going on in the Jackson Family. The Jackson Family has always been in support of the truth and they have always wanted justice for Michael. Mrs. Katherine has always stood by Michael’s side and I believe she is still doing just that. This interview with Oprah is not to expose his children but, it is in hope that the fans of Oprah will see that Michael is not this monster that some have tried to make him out to be. There are sources out there who want to make fun of the Jackson Family, try and say they are fighting and they are not getting along. I heard of a possible interview with Oprah and I read on Mr. Randy Jackson’s twitter page how unhappy he was but, I feel it was coming from a place in which Randy feels Oprah has been against Michael and the Jackson Family and he too wants justice for Michael. He loves his family and he doesn’t want to see them hurt. Taj Jackson and Mrs. Katherine Jackson want this interview to set the record straight about who Michael really was. This is not a family that hates each other, this is a family that wants the truth and justice to come out and they don’t want to see each other hurt by those who just want to make money off of them. -Amber
Dancing With the Stars: LaToya Jackson
LaToya Jackson has expressed that she has been asked by "Dancing With the Stars" to be a part of the show many times and has said, no. She has nothing against "Dancing With the Stars" and says that it is one of her favorite shows, she and her mother Mrs. Katherine Jackson both love the show but, it was also something her brother Michael Jackson loved and it is just too hard for her to be on "Dancing With the Stars" right now.
"I lost the drive that I had for doing it after the incident with my brother because he loves that kind of dancing. He and I used to dance like that around the house just for jokes, for play. And when he passed, it's like, 'I don't think I want to do that because it would remind me too much of him each dance.'" -LaToya Jackson

Treasure Story...Treasure's family is grateful and appreciative to Mr. Randy Jackson for what he has done. Mr. Randy Jackson saw Treasure’s on Fox 11 news. Fox 11 news has been following Treasure’s story since 2006. Mr. Jackson contacted Treasure's family through his assistant at the time. He said, he would like to pay the cost to get Treasure back to Colorado to begin her surgerical process again. About a week later he contacted Treasure's family again through his assistant and asked if Treasure's family would be open to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, that he knew the Chief of surgery and could set up a meeting. Treasure's mother was extremely hesitant about this because it was the very same hospital that wanted to remove her daughter's tongue 6 years ago. However, with new technology doctors at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles told Treasure and her family that they would be able to treat 20% of Treasure’s tumor that was still active. Since Treasure's amazing journey in 2006 and witnessing all the love and kindness shown to Treasure to get her to Colorado, her mother has founded a non-profit foundation to help other families.
On the day of Treasure’s MRI, the Chidren's Hospital Los Angeles was expecting payment since Treasure's family did not have insurance authorization and Mr. Randy Jackson's assistant paid a little more than a partial payment so that the family could get Treasure in. The Ranjack Group has given additional funds as well. Treasure's family feels that Mr. Randy is a kind and generous person and they are grateful for everything he has done. Information from: Treasure's Mother I hope to hear from Treasure's mom with an update soon and Treasure's mother would like to welcome everyone to please visit www.friendsoftreasure.com to read more about Treasure's journey and see the news stories and other incredible stories of love and kindness. |
Update from Treasure's Mother:Hello Friends!
We took Treasure Children’s Hospital Los Angeles on 1/24/11 for the new spot discovered on her tongue. The doctor would like wait, watch and document for now. He says there may have been a microscopic piece that could not be seen during the last surgery. The good news is that with all the fundraising that got Treasure to Colorado and shut down the majority of the tumor combined with her last surgery at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the doctor says that she will never go through what she has gone through before. Friends of Treasure is a Non-profit 501(3)c corporation. I founded this charity to help others who suffer and hope to relieve them of what my family has endured in our now 7 year battle. If you or someone you know suffer from a rare tumor classified as a Vascular Malformation and would like help, please have them visit www.friendsoftreasure.com. Treasure Mother says Thank You...Hello Amber!
I am Treasure’s mom and I just wanted to take a moment to write to you personally. Your card made Treasure sooooooo happy. Thank you very much for thinking of her. |

Usher Continues to Remember Michael
Usher continues to remember Michael Jackson by passing on to young artist Michael's words of wisdom. Usher likes being a big brother, mentor, whatever it takes to help any upcoming artist, like Michael did for him. "The one thing that he always said to me was, 'Be mindful of history. Be conscious of history. Don't get caught up in just the moment. Understand that each moment is a piece of history and you should approach it that way.'" - Usher

Ne-Yo shows love for Michael Jackson and the Jackson Family
Ne-Yo would like to pass on songs that he wrote for Michael Jackson to Michael's sister Janet Jackson and Michael's brothers Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Jermaine Jackson and Randy Jackson to release instead. Ne-Yo said, that he felt it would be disrespectful to pass it on to any other artists other than the family members of Michael Jackson's."I've been trying to figure out what to do with those songs. I can't give them to anybody else because they were written for Michael. That would be disrespectful. So if I could get Janet and the brothers to do a collaborative tribute, that would be a great idea." -Ne-Yo

Alejandra Jackson's Response
Alejandra Jackson made a statement today about 'YouTube" videos of Michael Jackson’s children Paris and Blanket and their cousins done by a hacker. Alejandra Jackson is the mother of Jermajesty, Jaafar, Donte, Genevieve and Randy, Jr. She said, she was dismayed when the videos, which also show her children, hit the Internet. “The recent release of personal videos of my children and the other grandchildren has been a terrible invasion of our family privacy. My home computer was hacked into by an unknown source and this is currently under legal investigation. The people who have unlawfully released this material are trying to portray my kids as bad children. They are not. In these videos, they are simply playing and pretending, like all kids do. My children and I feel horrible about this and sincerely hope the hackers will be stopped.”

They are children who are playing and having fun with each other and they have the right to their privacy. As fans lets take a stand and stop any more traffic of these videos on the Internet." -Amber
