Michael Jackson's Kids At X Factor; Children Spotted In Audience (PHOTO)

First Posted: 12/01/11 07:49 AM ET Updated: 12/01/11 11:56 AM ET

Michael Jackson's kids, Prince, Paris and Blanket were spotted in the audience of Fox's hit series, "The X Factor," Wednesday night.

The show, which aired Nov. 30th and was dubbed a tribute show to the late King of Pop, highlighted the three young Jacksons seated in the audience with their grandmother, Katherine Jackson close by. The family watched in awe as the contestants belted out some of MJ's greatest hits.

It was only days ago that Jackson's longtime personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was sentenced to four years in prison, the maximum sentence for being convicted of involuntary manslaughter, following the singer's untimely death in 2009.

The nearly two-year long trial proceedings came to highly anticipated end on Monday, when the judge read the sentence in front of a full court room, which included Jackson's mother and other family members.

Take a look at the photo of Prince, Paris and Blanket watching their father's tribute performances below!

"...I'm Not Gonna Spend My Life Bein' a Colour!...." M. Jackson.

The first thing I would like to say is that it is no ones business who the father is of those children. If you had a child that was not bio yours, would you put it on the 6 clock news to let everyone know. They have a right to a private life. For all of you who seem to think they know everything, Michael and Debbie were married at the time she gave birth to both of the kids, this makes them Michael's legal children. As for Blanket not talking, what is it to you? He is only 9 years old. What would you like him to say? Michael loved these children, and instead of finding things wrong with the way he raised them, try looking at the way you are raising your children. Those kids have been all over the world. They have met people we can only see on the news. Can you say the same for your children. The majority of the people making these comments are the exact reason why Michael had to protect them. The public is cruel. If everyone worried about what went on in there own back yard, this would be a much happier world.

The only one that could possibly be MJ's kid is the youngest.There is noway the 2 older kid's are his biological kids.

No, aliciay360.
ALL of those kids are HIS. Oldest, middle, AND youngest.
Many people have the mistaken belief that the "Races" are so far apart.
It's an illusion & when "race-mixing" takes place, pretty soon it undoes the Myth of "Race".
We're really not that far apart.

This has happened before, is happening now, and will happen again in the future.
There's a reason why the Arabs look the way they do. There's a reason why Rachael Ray has a tan. The White "race" came from the Black "race" as did all other "races".
These links will help you understand the truth.

Also type in "albinos in africa" in Google & see the pictures that come up in the search result.
That mutation, that change is a clue to how the White "race" came to be.
Type in "blue-eyed african" in Google to be amazed even further. They are not mixed but they still have blue eyes.

So seriously folks. Enough of the ignorance.
All 3 children are biologically Michael's.
Prince, the oldest, resembles his great-grandfather Samuel (Joe's father).
Paris, the girl, looks just like her Mother Debbie Rowe except with olive-toned skin.
There's only 2 types of olives: Green & Black. And the green ones equate to a good brown. I don't have to spell it out where those olive tones come from, do I?

Blanket has a different yet unknown-to-the-public mother but he looks like a pure clone of Michael except with naturally straight hair & slightly lighter skin.
I presume the mother has a mixed background...which may include Black.

This is not the first time or the last time you will see this kind of thing happening. The "races" are "mixing" & in the end the truth will be revealed about "race". There is only the HUMAN race.
Michael told you it don't matter if you're Black or White.

So here we are with both of Michael's parents being African/European/Amerindian mixes...
...And here we have Michael, the offspring of these mixtures, having 2 children with a BLONDE-HAIRED (true blonde), BLUE-EYED White Woman named Debbie Rowe...
...And we're SURPRISED that Prince and Paris look the way they do???

We're surprised even though Mariah Carey exists from similar mixtures?
Even though actress Rashida Jones, the offspring of Quincy Jones & white Peggy Lipton, exists looking more White than Black?
Even though brown-skinned disco queen Donna Summer had a blonde-haired, pale-skinned girl by a White man?
Even though caramel-skinned actress Victoria Rowell's daughter (Maya Fahey) looks like a pure White girl with straight blonde hair & blue eyes while her son (Jasper Marsalis) looks like your everyday Black boy with nappy hair & brown skin?

People are STILL surprised that this can happen in the year 2011???
What do you think "passing" was all about? Some Blacks looked so White that they could pass for White in the dark days of racial segregation.

Do people really understand genetics? Do people recognize that Africa is the birthplace of ALL humankind?? Do people recognize that ALL people CAME FROM the Black People??? The African People???
Just why are people from the Mediterranean & the Middle East so swarthy anyway? It couldn't be that proximity to Africa, could it? Look up the word history & meaning of "swarthy" ("swart") in Dictionary.com, you'll be surprised.

I'm tired of these ignorant comments talking about these kids not being Michael's biologically.
The following will prove that these ARE Michael's biological children.

EDUCATION Begins:

Michael Jackson is not 100% African (Black) to begin with.
That little Black grandma you see sitting with the kids (Michael's mother Katherine), her grandfather was listed as "Mulatto" in the U.S. Census. You know what a "mulatto" is don'cha? Your President is one. Yeah that Obama guy with the White parent & Black parent.

So that means Katherine is part European (White)...like pretty much every descendant of African slaves throughout the American continents.
She's also said to be part Native American (Cherokee in this case) & even Asian (that would explain the almond eyes).

As for Michael's father, the infamous light-skinned blue-eyed/green-eyed Joe Jackson...
In a 2004 book he dictated in German called 'Die Jacksons' (The Jacksons), he mentions the origins of that Jackson name.
Joe's great-grandfather was a Choctaw shaman named July Gale. July's nickname was "Jack".
"Jack" had a child with a Black slave woman and they named the boy Israel.
When they referred to Israel they said "Jack's Son". And from then on all the offspring of Israel were called Jackson.

I've seen a picture of Joe's mother (who married a Jackson named Samuel) & she was light-skinned. It's a pretty safe bet that she had White blood alongside the Black. That's probably were Joe's blue/green eyes came from.

You spent all that time clearly and concisely writing an opinion that almost nobody in the world will believe.
09:25 AM on 12/08/2011
Thank you, rickmalibu1. I know it's hard to believe & the reason for that is simply inexperience with the subject at hand. Most people just haven't seen it with their own eyes. They believe in the Myth of "Races". That White is SOOO FAR away from Black & never the twain shall meet.

But it happens & it's more common than people think. It's not just White folks who have a hard time understanding this. Even Black folks to my surprise can't seem to wrap their heads around it when they of all people should know better.

There is No Black American descended from the African slaves that is 100% Black (which is code for African). NONE. I don't care if they're dark-skinned. I don't care if they're Wesley Snipes dark or Mark Henry dark. Oprah Winfrey did a DNA heritage check & found Chinese ancestry in her background.

All anybody has to do is to look at Michael's own brothers & sisters. How did La Toya get so light when Jermaine the child that came before her is so dark? Brother & sister & right there it shows the diversity of genetic lines & ancestries. All Black people in the U.S. descended from slaves are REALLY In Fact MIXED. That's why Vanessa Williams looks the way she does. Whether it's one generation back or seven, whether on mother's side, father's side or both, Black Americans are really Mixed.

Michael Jackson was a Black American & therefore Michael Jackson was in truth Mixed. By mixing further with a (true) Blonde, Blue-eyed White woman, Prince & Paris come out looking the way they do. Same with Blanket whoever his mother is.

Thank you for your compliments on my conclusion. I know most will ignore it but somebody has to put the truth out there for posterity's sake. Most people just don't know this reality because they have never experienced it. I hope my posts clear things up so that next time they would hesitate before making a bunch of uneducated knee-jerk opinions.

It's not a big secret here in L.A. that Arnie Klein (Michael's dermatologist) is the biological father of those children. So please stop trying to find some physical resemblance to MJ. He was no blood relation to them, but he does seem to have been a loving parent, and the kids, thank goodness, seem to be doing OK.

Yeah - right.

"Blanket" obviously has some issues that have been ignored as much as his pretend "father" Jacko's pedophilia.
12:00 PM on 12/17/2011
Statements are meaningless, when facts don't support. Substitute Sandusky. Would then lend credence to idiotic comments.
04:33 PM on 12/02/2011
agreed tycoon3...no bloood ties 4 sure but he was thier DADDY no doubt and they LOVED him, he was probably more of a big brother as a matter of fact, an eternal child..that stupid selfish doctor broke thier little hearts :-( God Bless you kids (Blanket, have a legal name change though "-))

The kids looked bored to death the whole show. Maybe a little stuck up.

So, from one glimpse, you call three children "stuck up". This says more about your personality than theirs.
11:43 PM on 12/04/2011
LOL. No, I watched the X Factor episode that the children attended. The camera kept switching to their faces, and every time they looked bored and stuck up.

You should have paid better attention to my comment. I said that they looked that way the "whole show." Obviously, that would imply that I didn't just have "one glimpse". Your careless judgement seems to say something about your personality.

WHAT?!?!? Are they not allowed to attend a show? I certainly hope they have no desire for a private life.
10:39 PM on 12/01/2011
The little one looks so much like MJ. How a kid looks is not necessarily what determines paternity for pete's sake. My kids are biracial. One looks like dad, the other like mom. One looks NOTHING like me and the other- nothing like my husband. Both are our biological children. Genes are complicated.
04:05 AM on 12/02/2011
You are so high, have you ever seen MJ as a kid not one of the kids look anything like him or the rest of that clan. the kids were bought and paid for! just like the rest of MJ's Zoo. There is no doubt when it came to music he was one of the greatest, but as a man he was a true freak!

that old saying 'less you walk in a man's shoes....' @carlbfree, did you forget to post your reasoning for your opinion as berrygal66 did. As for being respectful to the game, I am a child of mix races and boy would you be surprise who I am connected to using this same system....just looks!
09:53 PM on 12/01/2011
The little fellow has the name "Blanket." Maybe they might want to give him a knickname
so he can shed the former.
10:24 PM on 12/01/2011
Blanket is his nickname. His birth name is Prince MIchael Jackson.
12:38 AM on 12/02/2011
Umm.... No, the older boy is Prince.
09:50 PM on 12/01/2011
The kids are sweet. The youngest child is just that --young and cautious--and he started waving when he saw others doing so. I think they are fine with the family. Mrs. Jackson and the aunts
and the uncles seem to be very nice. I don't see Mr. Jackson much.

That is why Michael wanted her to be the guardian if anything happened to him. He also wanted Diana Ross to be the guardian. I know people see Diana as a diva, but her kids rave about her as a mother. They seem to be very close.
