DISCUSSION: Do you believe Michael Jackson should have performed solo during the 'Jackson Family Honors' as a favour to Jermaine, considering he supported Michael throughout the 1993 allegations?
Hasn't Michael done enough to pay his dues to his family? It was nice of his family to back him up during the allegations, but he didn't owe them anything in return. I suspect, if he had performed, the media would have speculated the only reason was to payback his family for supporting him.
I definitely think he should've performed. We all know why that place was full & it was for Michael. What did the audience get instead? A jermaine performance. Ain't nobody come to see jermaine. In 94 is when they should've had a real jacksons/5 performance. Mike wasn't under the influence & was way younger. I know in my heart when they booed him, he was thinking "damn....I should've did something had I known they would react this way". If janet did 1 song then Michael could've at least sang a solo ballad but...that time has passed & we got what we got...the next year was the vmas & he ultimately KILLED IT!! & that's why I feel that reunion should've been done earlier. Not only that...they did press conferences & etc to support him at that time. He had already done much for them but publicly it just didnt look too good for him not to perform. Idk how I would've felt had I paid over 1k to see him & not perform.....nahhh I'm trippin. Just a sight of him wouldve made my life. But that's my opinion.
Rather than perform as a favor to Jermaine, I think Michael should have performed because the auditorium was only full because he was supposed to be there. To me, if I'm a family member offering my support to you, I'm doing so because you're my blood, not because I want anything back from you. If you choose to repay, that's fine, but I'm not expecting anything. That being said, I don't know what kind of relationship Jermaine and Michael had back then. But I definitely feel that Michael should have sung at least one song because, essentially, everyone was there for him. If his name was not included on the marquee, I bet that place would not have even been half capacity. Michael's fame was stratospheric, and unfortunately, his brothers needed that to get to the outcome they wanted for that program.
Michael was so high off meds at that reunion show but he was so tremendously talented most didn’t even notice it!! Sad how he got addicted to those pain killers smh Truly the King Forever!!
Most definitely and I have been waiting for someone to make a thorough video on all his shenanigans😭and looking at him and Randy- no wonder Michael distanced himself from them because woww!!💀
@@Chandaxxi believe they’re talking about when Randy bust into the driveway of Mike’s house and was shouting for his money on the night of Elizabeth Taylor’s birthday
@@princesskristan I agree it was very shallow of him especially since Michael basically financially supported him all his childhood and adult life. It's just messed up
Jermaine is SO dang messy! His jealousy of his little brother was through the roof. He also brokered several deals with various entities saying MJ was going to be a part of whatever he had cooked up, but it just wasn’t so. Joe did the same thing and Jermaine is conniving just like his dad.
Michael Jackson's 30th anniversary celebration at Madison Square Garden, September 10th, 2001. The final night of a begone era. Watching Michael meet and greet fans at Virgin megastore the following month must have been a cherished event in a time desperate for healing.
This indeed. It was the last time we'd ever see the Jacksons perform. Quite ominous as it was also the night before 9/11, the event that would change homeland security measures worldwide.
The only reason why Michael performed with his brothers at his 30th anniversary special was because his mother had asked him to because his brothers were in financial ruins and Michael paid each one of them $250,000 to perform...
@@gladyskennedy6207Wtf?? Seriously?? I thought Michael's brothers were in financial trouble during the Victory Tour and that's why Michael performed with them to help them out [although he didn't want to]
I like the cliff hanger at the end because at the end of the day, Jermaine was there for him in 2005, as well as the rest of the family. Say whatever you want, but my favorite era is always Destiny - Triumph. Not as much tabloids and hate coming Mike's way. I always longed to see an era like that return for Mike...
When your family, particularly you brother is the the most successful artist around, there's gonna be tension. I think Jermaine should have handled everything better rather than giving everyone the runaround. It's not smart on a personal or professional level. Great video from the detail. Long live the king of pop. 🎉

Mike was in rehab for prescription drugs at this time too. His health was beginning to deteriorate too, mind his just canceled his dangerous tour due to health which otherwise wouldve went to the US in 1994 without the allegations
Jermaine, Jermaine, Jermaine. Messy Jermaine. My goodness. I DON'T think Michael should have performed at the Jackson Family Honors. I DO think he should have been at the Jackson Family Honors in unity with his family which he did do. The man just came off of THE WORST Character Assassination Attempts ever & was in recovery from the forced end of his Dangerous Tour. A noble tour designed primarily for humanitarian aid. (what would've happened if he got to his intended December 31st date like he was supposed to?) It would have looked tacky if he went with an all-out performance while his legal situation was still going on with the criminal investigation (the civil suit settlement did NOT stop the criminal case proceedings). And it's a damn shame the network refused to show the program WITHOUT Michael performing. So the pressure was unfairly on the Jackson Family to get Michael to do something he wasn't ready to do yet. And the fans didn't help when they booed Elizabeth Taylor when she said Michael wouldn't perform. I get why the fans wanted Michael to show a sign of resistance to all the witch-hunting going on by performing but it wouldn't look right at that time. It would come off as him making light of the allegations thrust upon him. Michael sung with his family with the "If You Only Believe" song which I liked to see. That was good & as far Michael should have gone with performance at the show. That was classy not tacky. It was nice to see Jermaine not running down Michael with 'Word to the Badd' anymore & uniting with him. Now all the bad blood is coming from LaToya under influence of Jack Gordon. But you know it was getting to him how much his destiny was tied to Michael's actions or participation. *The Motown split of 1975 had SERIOUS lasting repercussions Jermaine had no idea he would face.* Jermaine thought he was being loyal to the company which put the Jackson 5 on the global map but the brothers thought loyalty to the family came first since the family was a thing before Motown was in the picture. *That one move from Jermaine killed the Family Unity on projects forevermore. HE was the one who broke the Unity.* Once Michael was able to develop on his own without the other lead singer (Jermaine) to share the mic with, Michael would walk on his path of destiny overshadowing his brothers for the rest of their lives. Their fates are tied to his. But Jermaine is RIGHT when he says Michael is STILL a product of the Jackson 5 & of the Jackson Family. King of Pop or not, Michael can NEVER fully exclude his family & be righteous. That struggle & tug-of-war between Solo Success & Family Unity would define the Jackson Family forever. And when it went sour we all saw the results like the 1984 Victory Tour & the Jackson Family Honors of 1994. But it can also be sweet & we saw those results in the 1997 Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame induction & the Jacksons reunion at Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary in 2001. When the family came back together, it was always beautiful. Yet throughout all of this desire for restoring Family Unity that Jermaine had been speaking of, how could Jermaine do his brother Randy like he did when he not only married Alejandra Oaziaza, the mother of 2 of Randy's kids, but *HAD TWO MORE KIDS OF HIS OWN WITH HER?!* Tangling up ALL the family lines with that move! What was he THINKING?! Randy had problems, sure, but you can't do that, man! *So Jermaine broke the Family Unity AGAIN!* Hahahahaha! The entire thing with wife Hazel Gordy, Motown founder Berry Gordy's daughter, was part of Jermaine's decision to stay with Motown instead of leaving for CBS/Sony Records with his brothers. That caused the 1st split in Family Unity. But then he cheats on Hazel in embarrassing fashion with multiple mistresses including Margaret Maldonado... ...then later cheats on Margaret Maldonado with Randy's Baby Mama Alejandra Oaziaza! It seems that once Jermaine realized the Family Unity was already broken by his own actions, there's no putting the genie back in the bottle so what's another break? We're all in Michael's shadow anyhow so I might as well have my fun. When Jermaine hit the international scene with the Jackson 5 in 1969, he was 14 going on 15 years old. His hormones were already on fire & now he's a world famous superstar with legions of female fans ready to do whatever. I think that marked him for the rest of his life. He didn't have the balance in perspective like his older brother Jackie did. To Jermaine, he was a kid in a candy store with all these girls & he had to have each & every one. Alejandra was a Jackson fan & was determined to get into this family by any means necessary like so many other women. She won BIG TIME because not only does she have one brother but she has TWO brothers with Randy AND Jermaine. And in the end, she will have THREE brothers in a way as her son Jaafar (Jermaine's son) plays Michael in the new biopic! The unintended consequences of success. Telling the story of the Jackson Family is truly a saga.
@ST.2019 can you repost your comment? I see it in my notifications but UA-cam won't give me a link to respond to it. I really wanna make a reply to you.
I remember reading a news article years ago by Stacy Brown, an author, journalist, and former friend to the Jackson family who worked with them on several projects. He discussed how the their familial dysfunction culminated in 2002, when Michael had played a 30th-anniversary celebration the year before. He paid Marlon Brando $1 million to appear and just give him a birthday message...however, Michael only paid his brothers $1,100 each to actually perform with him on stage (which was hyped to be a sort of Jackson 5 reunion). Afterwards, Michael canceled a promised tour with the entire Jackson family. Randy figured the family needed therapy. Janet paid for it, and weekly the whole clan (sans Michael, who felt that he didn't need therapy) would pile into SUVs for secret trips to Malibu. Most of the sessions were spent complaining about Michael; that he seemingly would go above and beyond for other people, and not his family members. That if Michael was working on a new project, there would be anger and frustration that he would not first go to the family and would seemingly purposely work with outsiders. Finally the therapist said it seemed that all their problems unfairly stemmed from Michael in one way or another, and that it was best if they didn’t even think about him. That Michael is not your family, in his mind. He sees Barry Gordy as his father figure and Elizabeth Taylor is his mother figure, and the Jacksons should move on. From these videos I can see why Michael felt that way. Time after time, even though they were family it seemed that Michael's siblings (with the exception of probably Janet) saw Michael as a product, as a way to make money for themselves. But seeing how little he paid them, showed how much value and impact Michael felt they had on his professional career. One of the reasons Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson bonded was because they had both been child stars who had been used to make other people wealthy. Taylor and Gordy never had their hands out in regards to Michael, and I am sure he appreciated that.
Why is this significant? Are you telling on them? Are you colorist? Are you strange? What are you hoping to accomplish by barking this out? I'm curious.
@@CelestineSelene barking? Just interesting. Most of the time your skin is more like your father or mother. But jermaine skin is darker then both. You are strange for calling me strange.
@@VicToria-sd1dn dude why so mad? I don’t say it’s positive or negatieve. I observe and my conclusion is jermaine is darker then his parents. Nothing more nothing less. Just like jackie is the tallest and marlon is the shortest guy.
Why do I have a bad feeling about Jaafar playing Michael in the biopic? Who is writing the biopic anyway and how much control does the family have? I really hope they will do MJ justice and portray him fairly… He cannot even rest in his grave with all that has been going on after his death. I hope the truth reaches the finish line of that marathon eventually and the whole world will appreciate not only the genius and humble artist, but also the social and historical phenomenon he was; receiving hatred but teaching love, while fighting all his internal demons..
I'm sorry but I have always disliked the Jackson family and especially Joe, Jermaine and Latoya as a fan of Michael I have always felt even now that they always wanted to live at Michael's expense, I'm really happy that Michael did not give them the power of his estate
I don’t say. Only Jackson family say the truth. Michael Jackson always call his brother. But him I feel always jealous Michael always. Michael Jackson is the only one king history. No other 👑💫🌻
I am happy that I watched your video! I did not wanted to hear like...internal things of the family, because all families have ups and downs and black sheeps...but I'm happy that by hearing your explanations I understood the real atmosphere behind some of the representations that I had already watched, but I did not really known what year they happened, nor had I made correlations with the on going events of that time. Thank you!!!
No offense but I wish MJ had been an only child, his leeching family are a damn pain.. They held him back for years. "Thriller could easily have been me, without me there would be no Michael. He was just lucky." - Jermaine on Michael Jackson's successful career.
I agree and I'm glad someone said it. He'd always say "he'd be nowhere without us" he even had the audacity to claim his albums were better than Michael's and that Michael's sales being massive didn't mean his albums didn't deserve that. Imagine!! I would think having a star like Michael Jackson as your brother should be something you pride yourself about not something you try to discredit or use to your advantage. It's just sad how his family always used him particularly his brothers and his parents.
I mean it was mainly Joseph, Jermaine and Latoya Michael distanced himself from. The rest of the family Michael was pretty cool with. He was especially close to Tito, Janet and Marlon.
Ооооо❤ cool video👍👍👍👍👍 Cool! Thank you for such a great episode. Michael is a genius! Looking forward to the continuation. 0 I can talk about it endlessly. My playlist is only Michael Jackson. Morning and evening!
this is what happens when your hateful and competing with someone you claim to love.... even kate said that jermaine calls her everyday whining about something...she also gives him a monthly allowance from the money Mike left her.....
It did not help the case for Michael’s innocence once those allegations from 1993 surfaced again in 2005. Knowing what we know now about Lou Pearlman makes it a blind spot.
Yeah, that was slumming, and the merger of Columbia records with Sony did not seem to do him too many favors, either. I can’t name a single song on the Invincible album.
@@j.i.r608I know MJ had a big heart & he forgave Latoya. But it was such a devastating betrayal & disappointment. I know Jack Gordon forced her to say all those awful things about MJ. But it doesn’t make alright. I don’t think MJ ever trusted her or ever felt close to her ever again. & I don’t personally blame him.
@@ST-nz4bfLa Toya didn't realise what she was getting herself into with that marriage & Jack Gordon made threats revolving round her wider family whilst also physically abusing her Jermaine's missteps are all down to his own poor judgement & desire for success etc They're obviously both adults; capable of making adult decisions etc etc but I have a lot more sympathy for La Toya than I'll ever have for Jermaine ‘Word to the bad’ was just embarrassing & sunk his career further, despite him genuinely having real talent
Neither is sybdttg but considering he said the only two songs that weren’t, I thinking he phrased it weird and meant it all the Motown hits, in addition to cyfi and sybdttg
Jackson family’s moral integrity and wholesome family values? 😬 😬😬 That’s a tough sell. Unless you 1. Take out wholesome and moral and 2. Pitch it to Steve Wilkos.
El tema su adicción a los medicamentos es tan complejo incluso el hecho de llamarlo una adicción porque, cómo tratas una adicción de ese nivel cuando se sabe que Michael sufría de dolores muy fuertes, no lo sé, es algo muy difícil de abordar
💯!!!! Read a book called Jackson Family values: Memories Of Madness by Jermaine Jackson’s Ex Common Law Wife & the mother of his child Margaret Maldonado. The book was released on 01st of November 1995. Jermaine Jackson is one Dirty Low Down Dog !!!
If Michael had simply given his brother a 4-minute performance for that TV special he could have created an opportunity for his family that would have been akin to the Kennedy Center Honors today. It feels a little selfish.

Why is this significant? Are you telling on them? Are you colorist? Are you strange? What are you hoping to accomplish by barking this out? I'm curious.
@@CelestineSelene barking? Just interesting. Most of the time your skin is more like your father or mother. But jermaine skin is darker then both. You are strange for calling me strange.
Why tf does that matter? This is all you gathered from 14 minutes ? You are a weirdo.
@@nysic1234And your point is? Back off!!!
@@VicToria-sd1dn dude why so mad? I don’t say it’s positive or negatieve. I observe and my conclusion is jermaine is darker then his parents. Nothing more nothing less.
Just like jackie is the tallest and marlon is the shortest guy.
Good episode I can’t wait for the last one please drop it soon
💯 I really hope it’s next week !!!
Why do I have a bad feeling about Jaafar playing Michael in the biopic? Who is writing the biopic anyway and how much control does the family have?
I really hope they will do MJ justice and portray him fairly…
He cannot even rest in his grave with all that has been going on after his death. I hope the truth reaches the finish line of that marathon eventually and the whole world will appreciate not only the genius and humble artist, but also the social and historical phenomenon he was; receiving hatred but teaching love, while fighting all his internal demons..
Why didn't they let one of Michael's sons play him?
@@stephaniemurria5534 they are not actors, they are very shy and behind the scenes type people (except for Paris)
@@stephaniemurria5534Because they are white
That’s nasty Jermaine sloppy second home wrecker lol
Did you ever do a piece on the Jackson Family interventions to help Michael. I remember one story about the Brothers crashing the gates at Neverland.
I'm sorry but I have always disliked the Jackson family and especially Joe, Jermaine and Latoya as a fan of Michael I have always felt even now that they always wanted to live at Michael's expense, I'm really happy that Michael did not give them the power of his estate
With a Brother like Jermaine who needs ENEMIES~ Wilmrbadguy
I don’t say. Only Jackson family say the truth. Michael Jackson always call his brother. But him I feel always jealous Michael always. Michael Jackson is the only one king history. No other 👑💫🌻
I am happy that I watched your video! I did not wanted to hear like...internal things of the family, because all families have ups and downs and black sheeps...but I'm happy that by hearing your explanations I understood the real atmosphere behind some of the representations that I had already watched, but I did not really known what year they happened, nor had I made correlations with the on going events of that time. Thank you!!!
Great video 👍
Please tell us we don't have wair too too long for another one plz i want to see more
The next one is the last episode!
@@thedetail.Thank you I want to know how everything ends
No offense but I wish MJ had been an only child, his leeching family are a damn pain.. They held him back for years.
"Thriller could easily have been me, without me there would be no Michael. He was just lucky." - Jermaine on Michael Jackson's successful career.
Y'all are just plan dumb smh
I agree and I'm glad someone said it. He'd always say "he'd be nowhere without us" he even had the audacity to claim his albums were better than Michael's and that Michael's sales being massive didn't mean his albums didn't deserve that. Imagine!! I would think having a star like Michael Jackson as your brother should be something you pride yourself about not something you try to discredit or use to your advantage. It's just sad how his family always used him particularly his brothers and his parents.
@@unathinkomo5858💯 but you forgot to mention Latoya Jackson. She used poor MJ for clout as well 💔😔
That’s a crazy & delusional thing to say if Jermaine
I mean it was mainly Joseph, Jermaine and Latoya Michael distanced himself from. The rest of the family Michael was pretty cool with. He was especially close to Tito, Janet and Marlon.
He screwed his own brother’s girl… can’t get any worse than that. He’s not his brothers’ keeper.
Mike was happy to keep that press & curl FRESH + frizz-free
No spins or or crazy sweating all night 😫
There is so much to unpack there.
Ооооо❤ cool video👍👍👍👍👍 Cool! Thank you for such a great episode. Michael is a genius! Looking forward to the continuation. 0 I can talk about it endlessly. My playlist is only Michael Jackson. Morning and evening!
Thank you!
Michael is an addiction and I don't want to get over it ❤❤❤ The King reigns on.
Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson. Love all the world. Mother Prince Paris ❤️👑💫❤️❤️❤️🌻
Blanket ❤️
13:29 Neither of the tracks u named were Motown songs, also it's medley not melody lol.
this is what happens when your hateful and competing with someone you claim to love....
even kate said that jermaine calls her everyday whining about something...she also gives him a monthly allowance from the money Mike left her.....
whos kate
@@smilingcookie1672 mom
@@vashtikelly6837 alright thanks
Hol up...2 brothers share a baby mama?😮
Latoya 😵💫
Yes Latoya was a baddie back then !!! Very sad & unfortunate 💔😔
I wish they didn’t perform with NSYNC for the 30th looking back at it..🤔🤔 it sucked!
It was good idk what u talking about. The original boy band and the new boy band on one stage was iconic
It did not help the case for Michael’s innocence once those allegations from 1993 surfaced again in 2005. Knowing what we know now about Lou Pearlman makes it a blind spot.
Yeah, that was slumming, and the merger of Columbia records with Sony did not seem to do him too many favors, either. I can’t name a single song on the Invincible album.
@@Attmayhow do you not know you rock my world or butterflies 😒
@@Wonderouz yrmw slaps ngl
I often wonder if he watches this series of him...I wonder if latoya did as well...
I hope both of them watch it & then truly finally realise how both of them wronged poor defenceless MJ !!!
@@ST-nz4bfLatoya already realized her mistake & apologized to Michael for it. He did forgive her
@@j.i.r608I know MJ had a big heart & he forgave Latoya. But it was such a devastating betrayal & disappointment. I know Jack Gordon forced her to say all those awful things about MJ. But it doesn’t make alright. I don’t think MJ ever trusted her or ever felt close to her ever again. & I don’t personally blame him.
@@ST-nz4bfLa Toya didn't realise what she was getting herself into with that marriage & Jack Gordon made threats revolving round her wider family whilst also physically abusing her
Jermaine's missteps are all down to his own poor judgement & desire for success etc
They're obviously both adults; capable of making adult decisions etc etc but I have a lot more sympathy for La Toya than I'll ever have for Jermaine
‘Word to the bad’ was just embarrassing & sunk his career further, despite him genuinely having real talent
🤔 Jermaine Jackson is not canceled at all. What are u talking about?
CYFI is never a Motown one, mate. :)
Neither is sybdttg but considering he said the only two songs that weren’t, I thinking he phrased it weird and meant it all the Motown hits, in addition to cyfi and sybdttg
@@Jayden-he6up Definitely.
I know ‘Can you feel it’ isn’t Motown, maybe it’s how it’s worded my point didn’t come across
@@thedetail. No problem :-)
@Jayden-he6up that's what I interpreted as well
Nao tenho muita simpatia por ele sempre teve inveja de mj os outros irmaos eu gosto muito
Isn't that Josephine Zhony at 5:28?
If Michael Performed What Song Will That Be ?
Jackson family’s moral integrity and wholesome family values? 😬 😬😬 That’s a tough sell. Unless you 1. Take out wholesome and moral and 2. Pitch it to Steve Wilkos.
The osmonds were not wholesome as well
Every family has their issues; the Jacksons are no different
@@j.i.r608 Except most families don’t have the hubris to try to call themselves promulgating moral integrity and wholesome family values.
Love you michael Jackson❤❤❤❤
El tema su adicción a los medicamentos es tan complejo incluso el hecho de llamarlo una adicción porque, cómo tratas una adicción de ese nivel cuando se sabe que Michael sufría de dolores muy fuertes, no lo sé, es algo muy difícil de abordar
Is Jermaine this messed up as a person?
💯!!!! Read a book called Jackson Family values: Memories Of Madness by Jermaine Jackson’s Ex Common Law Wife & the mother of his child Margaret Maldonado. The book was released on 01st of November 1995. Jermaine Jackson is one Dirty Low Down Dog !!!
*Jermaine
Yes Sadly He is !!! 💔😔
Yes
@@j.i.r608 Thank you. I'll edit.
Sería mejor que fuera en español
Si. Por favor
Jermaine is extremely problematic
Ελληνικά θέλω με υποτιτλους
que dit il ? en vf
Jermaines voice is fake. Im grom Gary. Men dont talk like that.
Lol
👍🏾😎
8th
If Michael had simply given his brother a 4-minute performance for that TV special he could have created an opportunity for his family that would have been akin to the Kennedy Center Honors today. It feels a little selfish.
The other Jacksons would have screwed it up somehow
i dance better than michael jackson
Don't make fun of Michael Jackson
why doesn't jermaine currently tour with the brothers? it's just been tito marlon and jackie lately doing concerts minus jermaine
Randy is not touring either....
@@SimplyMeica love me some randy, but when was the last time he toured with his brothers? the 80's?
@@SonOfAGun1814I really thought he toured back in 2012…I guess not…..
From what I heard he decided to not get vaccinated. Not certain but I believe that's the case
I seen them in South Florida about 2021 and he was not there. Neither was Randy
