A common misconception about Michael Jackson is that his middle name is Joseph, after Joseph Jackson, but his middle name is actually listed as Joe on his passport and on most legal documents, including even his birth certificate according to Jermaine Jackson. Even though the name conveniently fits into Joseph's family, I think Smokey gave him the middle name Joe and Diana gave him his first name Michael. The reason I believe this is because Smokey's real name is William and he got the nickname "Smokey Joe" from his uncle, and once Smokey started using that name he dropped off the "Joe". So Smokey then gave the middle name to his first son Michael Jackson to pay homage to his favorite uncle. The reason I believe Diana named him Michael is because one of her biggest inspirations is the Renaissance artist Michaelangelo, and in Michael's autobiography Moonwalk he writes about how she used to take him out as a kid to museums and introduce him to the work of artists like Michaelangelo and Degas. I hold this belief firmly because Michael's name is a lot more traditional than all of Joseph's children who came before him who all had very untraditional first and middle names. After noticing how the middle name made Michael blend into the family better and tied Michael's legacy to his name, Joseph then gave his daughter Janet the middle name Jo and started training her to be an entertainer as well. Michael then used the same trick on his first two children, whose middle names are Joseph and Katherine, to make them appear more as his own children even though they (probably) weren't and to reinforce the coverup of him not actually being a Jackson.
Hi everyone! I don't know if this has been discussed here before, but what is Michael's real middle name?? 1. The death certificate says this:
Any thoughts?? I think it's Joe
Isn't Joe a short for Joseph? I think it's Joseph, and I always read it as Michael Joseph Jackson
According to the Jacksons and some other sources his official middle name is Joe but Michael used the name Joseph sometimes.
It could be. Now I remember seeing a tweet from Latoya when he answered to somebody that it's Joe. I can't find it though as her twitter is full of tweets. Yeah now I found it but how do I upload a image here? (noob) Nevermind. Here:
I believe legally it's Joe, but he preferred Joseph. I've heard him on depositions give the middle name as Joseph. It's Joseph on his will too, isn't it?
Don't know why he didn't change it legally since his mother changed hers. But probably just didn't take the time.
I've always wondered about this. It's a strange one this. On most documents it appears Joe, but when he has been in court and depositions he always said Joseph.
I think whatever his dad Joe is legally, that is what Michael will be legally. Michael's faith I think had a lot to do with him referring to himself as Joseph.
Side not I'm Joe legally and I'm not Joseph.
Side not I'm Joe legally and I'm not Joseph.
If this is not enough then the only way to know for sure is to see his birth certificate which is unavailable for now.
Or maybe there are two MJ's
And maybe the two children are his "step-children" with Lisa Marie?
And maybe the two children are his "step-children" with Lisa Marie?
Michael notaverageJoe Jackson
Michael "hot stuff" Jackson. seriously though, I've always thought it was Joseph after his father?
Can anyone explain why Michael had a 10-year passport issued in 1987 AND 1993? That's an overlap?
Didn't he name his kids "Joseph" (as middle name)? So maybe Joe was the official, but he preferred Joseph.
And maybe the two children are his "step-children" with Lisa Marie?
I don't know what's legal for show business reasons, but maybe he was able to use both Joe and Joseph because one of them is his professional full name? I LOL'd at that Latoya article from back in the day. I used to snatch up everything I could find about the Jackson family, trading magazines with my friends whenever the latest one hit the news stands.
Ahhh, the days before the internet and Google... :crackingup: :lol: :lmao: :hysterical:
^ Yes, and as an adult he introduced himself as "Joseph". For example:
^^oh stop. He's obviously nervous. But glad you posted this clip again. Too darn adorable.
Michael's so effing adorable in that video. I love how he keeps grabbing the mike and bounces in response to Dick Clark's bouncing lol
Brandon IS his brother. That didn't change because he died shortly after birth. Stillborn children are still counted, too.
^^Thats how I always took it as well-back then and now. "We have 3 sisters and 6 brothers in our family."
Not to be rude or disrespectful but it might have something to do with his changing look (though the pics on the passports dont look too different IMO), I've heard of people who change their appearance by losing a lot of weight or having surgery who had to get a new ID because their looks didnt match the picture.
Joseph sounds better, whether its just Joe or not. |
