Janet Jackson speaks out in her first interview since the death of her older brother Michael Jackson.
Janet tells Harper's Bazaar magazine that she hasn't watched televisi since hearing about the death of her brother on June 25. "You have to forgive me, because it's really hard to believe he's passed," she tells the publication.
She says of growing up with the King of Pop, "He'd have the same red shirt, the same black pants, the same white T-shirt. Mike was very simple. When I was 14 years old, I would toko for him. [Michael was then 21.] I washed his clothes, cleaned his room. When mother would go out of town, she'd say, 'I'm leaving anda in charge. Take care of Mike.' I would head halaman awal from school, see what he needed, then go straight to the stores."
Janet also explained how Michael started wearing one white glove. "That was actually my brother Jackie's idea at halaman awal one day. ... He just said, 'You should wear one glove. A white glove.' And then Mike studded it all. That was it."
She continues to reminisce about her brother's style, "If it was shiny, if it had any kind of bling, he loved it. It was that drummer-boy look. Do anda remember that black jaket he wore for Motown's 25th anniversary? That's our mother's! He grabbed that from her closet! He loved anything that sparkled."

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending hari oleh day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, anda know,
cinta is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just anda and me
Send them your jantung so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us oleh turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if anda just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending hari oleh day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, anda know,
cinta is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just anda and me
Send them your jantung so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us oleh turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if anda just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

All anda gotta do is just walk away and pass me oleh
Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all anda gotta do is not answer my calls when
I'm trying to get through
To keep me wondering why, when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch anda
Chorus
I just wanna touch and ciuman
And I wish that I could be with anda tonight
anda give me kupu-kupu inside, inside and I
All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel anda near me
I caress you, let anda taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give anda anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby anda give me kupu-kupu
Chorus x 2
If anda would take my hand, baby I would tampil anda
Guide anda to the light babe
If anda would be my love, baby I will cinta you, cinta anda
'Till the end of time
Chorus x 3
