Jacksons Won't Watch This Is It

Michael Jackson's distraught relatives are refusing to watch his upcoming THIS IS IT tour documentary - because it will be too painful.

The pop superstar passed away suddenly in June (09), just weeks before his highly-anticipated stage return in London.

The film documenting his rehearsals is set for release later this month (28Oct09) - but his mother Katherine and sister La Toya have both vowed not to watch the movie.

Katherine tells U.S. TV show Access Hollywood, "I don’t think I can bear to look at it right now. But eventually in time, I will watch it.”

La Toya adds, "I have no plans to see it. It’s a bit too soon for me. It really is.”

Greif does take time to heal so I completely understand whole heartly as it'll be hard for me but I'll bear it as I have since he died hearing all that awful untruth right after he died it was horrible but I'm better now I can listen to more of his sounds now then I did without crying. So prayers and heart goes out to the Jackson family still he's just gone to soon for all of us.

I'm sure that the whole family is very proud of Michael and his achievements. I do understand though that they are still hurting and grieving. Seeing him up on that huge screen would be heartbreaking for them. I still get quite upset seeing some of his videos playing, or hearing certain songs. I have tickets for two showings of the film for next Wednesday and Thursday and I bet I'll shed more tears thinking that there he is, fit and healthy and doing what he loves, but not with us anymore. The whole thing is unbearably sad and it has to be 100 times worse for him family to live with.

I dont agree with the family on their descision but its their rite because michael had a gift an he deserves every one to see how he was in those last days loosing some one is not easy at all an they say time heals all wounds but your son an brother left a legacy an you all should be proud of him an what he tried to do in the 50yrs he was on earth, its a shame some one took his life because of greed an money an thats the sadest part of it all , but maybe you will consider seeing it an when you do you can be proud of michael for his love for all the people , he was a person who made a mark in this world an his legacy will never die, i was never really a fan of his i like some of his music but where i live one tends not to play music like that because of all the hate here but i have beat it on my cell phone an i dont care who hears it or not an if my redneck friends have some thing to say you can bet i tell them off ,
