Michael Jackson is gone, but definitely not forgotten and his three kids want to ensure that his life's work lives on. The kids, Prince Michael, 14, Paris, 12, and nine-year-old Prince Michael II, who is known as Blanket, also hope to become performers.

Asked what they want to do in the future, Prince Michael said: “I guess continue what our dad was doing.”

Paris added in an interview with Good Morning America which will be broadcast tomorrow: “I’m thinking about auditioning for a play next week.”

Michael’s brother Jackie – who was a member of sibling pop group Jackson 5 alongside the King of Pop –recently revealed his family joke with the children that they need to “get busy” if they want a showbiz career. He said: "I told the kids, 'You better get busy because when we were your age we were selling out concerts.' "

Jackie also said the three children are constantly asking questions about their famous father.
He said: "They are around their father 24 hours a day. They have pictures in the bedroom. They talk about him all the time. They ask me for stories about him. They want to know more about him."

The Michael Jackson Metamorphosis



Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, and all I can think about is what he would've looked like had he not had all those surgeries.

I wonder if he would've gone through all the crap he went through had he seemed more "normal" to the outside world.

Why did he change his look so drastically? Why wasn't he happy with himself? Did his radical surgeries kill his career? Did people have a hard time looking directly at him?

At the end of the day, Michael Jackson was a man with feelings and emotions like the rest of us, but most people couldn't see it because they were so busy looking away in horror.

Michael Jackson was an amazing artist, a great dancer, and he did set the standard for most pop artists today. Unfortunately, he faded out in the late '90s and then became more famous for his personal life than his professional one.

I grew up on Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, and HIStory, so I know how amazing all his songs are, I just wish we could've seen the real Michael Jackson and appreciated him in all his glory.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson, you will be missed.
