January 1, 2010, when I woke up I looked in the mirror and noticed that my hair color is getting lighter as I get older. Were in my tour bus on our way to New York City and I sat down on the couch. I said” Uncle Frank I think my hair is turning blond”. He said” your mother is blond”. I said” dad never really talked about her that much”. He put his arm around me and said” she is no one worth talking about”. I took a sip of my Gatorade and said” who is she”? He quickly changed the subject saying” aren’t you going to play the Xbox”!!! I said” come on just tell me already, who is she”? He said” she is…………Debbie”’. I said” that lady that always tried to hug and kiss me….now I get it”. He said” do not tell your Grandmother that I told you”. I said” I won’t say a thing”. I turned my baseball cap so that it was facing backwards on my head and started to play my Xbox. Uncle Frank said laughing” I can’t believe you only have one ear pierced”!!!! I said” you just don’t know this generation”. We pulled into the McDonalds parking lot and I said “I’ll go get the food”. Uncle Frank said” oh no you can’t, you’ll get attacked by fans”!!!!!!!!!!! I walked off the bus saying” oh yea watch me”. I walked inside and stood in line. There was an old lady behind me and I think she was shocked that I’m able to walk with my pants that low. As I moved closer to the front two girls came up to me and said” we are your number one fans”. I said” well can I ask you guy’s questions so you can prove that to me”? They almost stopped breathing because they couldn’t believe that I was talking to them. I said” I’ll take that as a yes”. I said” who are my favorite singers”? They said” your dad and Justin Timberlake’’. I started asking them weird things that I didn’t think they would know but they did. It freaked me out that they knew what kind of shampoo I use. Finally it was my turn to order and I could not wait to get the hell away from those girls. Right as I was about to grab the bag of food my phone rang and started playing my Enrique Iglesias” I Like It” ringtone. With the bag in my hand, I answered my cellphone saying” hello”. The next thing I knew one of the girls grabbed it out of my hand. I yelled” HEY” at the top of my lungs and ran after them. I said” I’ll trade you for my hat…. Which I’ve been wearing all day”. They threw me the iPhone and took the hat. I walked onto the bus and sat down in trying to catch my breath. Uncle Frank said laughing “I told you so”. I said” I think it’s time to get a body guard”. He said” I have one for you already”. I said” when does he start”? He said” tomorrow and his name is Jeff”. I said” after I eat I have to get some sleep because I’m on Good Morning America tomorrow”……

January, 2, 2010, Today I’m appearing on Good Morning America for an interview. I woke up and walked into the tour bus kitchen area and opened up the fridge. I took a sip of my protein drink and said” that stuff still tastes like shit”. I looked around and sitting on the couch was Uncle Frank and a man that I didn’t recognize. Uncle Frank said” A.J this is Jeff your new bodyguard”. He has black hair and a goatee. I put out my hand and said” how you doing man”? I pulled my Zoo York hoodie over my head and he said” I’m good…I hear you’re a Call of Duty master”!!! I said while putting my socks” yea, you play”? He shook his head yes and we turned the corner. Tony the bus driver said” we are here”. I waved to my fans as I got out of the bus. I put my hood over my head and Jeff walked next to me. Fans were pushing each other to get to the front of the gate so they could get my autograph. Then we made our way inside the building. As we were walking down the hallway Jeff said” wow that was insane”. I said” wait until my concert tonight, that’s nothing”!!! I walked into the room where their doing the interview and Robin Roberts greeted me. She said” hi, I’m glad I get to interview you”. I said” thanks, do you have anything to drink my throat is a little dry”? She passed me a water bottle and I sat down. About a half an hour later it was time to go live, I walked backstage so I could make my entrance. I heard Robin say” breaking her father’s records, singing his songs so good that you would think it was him, please welcome Alanna Jackson. I walked into the room with my version of Smooth Criminal. I shook her hand and sat down in the white chair. She said” so what’s it like being the bestselling artist of all time”? I said” for me it has never been about being the best….it was about making sure my dad’s legacy is never forgotten’. She said” what was your relationship with Michael like”? I said” well I am his troublemaker”!!!!!!! She laughed and said” why are you tapping your foot like that”? I said” sorry I have A.D.H.D. and if I don’t fidget you’re going to lose my attention”. She said” no biggie, so who are some of the people that keep you grounded”? it took me a few seconds to answer and I said” my fans….i wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for them”!!!! Robin said” I know your just a teenager but, do you feel like you’re fans have high expectations for you…after all you are the king of pops daughter”? I was about to answer when I could hear the fans outside chanting and screaming my name. we laughed and she said” that must feel weird hearing that all day long”. I said” I think their parents have higher expectations for me ….because they grew up listening to my dad”. She said” this may sound strange but, do you think your fans go too far”? I took a drink of my water bottle and said” pardon me, I don’t understand the question”? Robin said” do you think they are too crazy for you…I mean some of these kids spent the night sleeping in 30 degree weather”. I said” I see it as pure dedication”!!!!!!!! I took out my wallet and said” Jeff take this money and buy as….you know what after this interview I go with you”. Robin said” where are you going to go”? I said” to buy some hot chocolate for those fans out there”!!! She said” wow your dad must have raised you well. I said” with me for his child all he could do was try”. She said laughing” thank you for your time”!!! I said” no problem” and stood up. She said” ladies and gentlemen Alanna Jackson”!!!!!!! Me and Jeff walked to Dunkin’ Donuts and ordered 500 hot chocolates. The drinks had to be carried in huge cup holder boxes because there were so much of them. As we walked down the street Jeff said” do you do stuff like this a lot”? I said” man these dam boxes are so heavy….yea I’m all about giving back to my fans”. He said” what influences you do this”. I said” I had I minor car accident a while back and I know my dad would not have been happy about it, so I’m trying to change”!!!! He said” I know how hard it is to is to have A.D.H.D because i have it to”. I said” it takes me forever to do my homeschooling, like 5 hours”. We went back to where the fans were and I said” watch out Jeff this is when they start to try and grab me”!!!!!! I put the drinks on the ground and went up to the gate. There was a mix of both male and female fans all that were my age and under. They all started screaming and some of them were even crying. I yelled” you guys want some hot chocolate” and complete chaos broke out. I looked down and there was a little girl being pushed around accidently by the crowd so pulled her out of there and picked her up. I whispered in her ear and said” are you alright sweetheart”? She said” yea I think so”. I said” HEY, STOP IT NOW”!!!! They went totally silent and I said” you almost crushed this kid”. A fan threw something at me but it missed. I said” if you’re my fan don’t throw stuff at me…I mean, seriously”!!! I put the girl down and signed her poster. Jeff and I passed out the hot chocolates to the fans. When some of them tried to grab my arm I was glad to have Jeff there to make sure that they didn’t get out of control again!!!
