Yesterday, on the Oprah Winfrey show, Jackie and Tito Jackson discussed their brother Michael Jackson and the new film, 'This Is It'. While Tito said that it was too soon for him to watch it (despite walking the red carpet), he arrived at the doors of the theatre and turned around, and didn't go in. Jackie however, along with Marlon and Jermain watched the movie, and found it to be inspiring and 'fantastic.'

Oprah said of 'This Is It' to Jackie and Tito, "To see this great artist at work makes you want to be better at your work. You want that attention to detail. You want that kind of perfectionism. You want that kind of drive." Jackie said, "It's wonderful just to see him onstage and do his thing. He's a great performer." Jackie went on to say, "There are some bittersweet parts, and it's very, very emotional for me to watch him, at times, onstage because it's a great loss not just for the family but for the whole world. Michael was an incredible guy, and I just miss him dearly." He added, "It shows people how great Michael was as a performer and as a singer, and they get a chance to see him at his best. Let's not forget Michael was a great humanitarian. He strived for world peace; he was a great father. He gave a lot to a lot of charities around the world. He was just a great individual."

Tito discussed how hard it has been for the family, and revealed that certain members have yet to watch the film. "I got to the doors to the theater, and I couldn't go in. It was just too soon for me. We have quite a few family members it was difficult for, such as my mom and my sisters Janet, Rebbie and LaToya, as well as my brother Randy. It was a little early for them as well." He added, "It's been very difficult at times. Waking up in the morning, it's the first thing on your mind. Going to sleep at night, it's the last thing on your mind. I look to the stars in the sky and speak with my brother. It's just a tremendous loss for the family, and I don't think it's anything I can cope with immediately." Tito reveals that having heard the reviews of the film from his brothers, "I would want to view it soon just to feel the happiness and the love."
