Michael was simply once in a lifetime talent. Sorry but nobody can MOVE like him, nobody can ENTERTAIN like him, nobody can SING like him and nobody can OWN A STAGE like him.
Michael Jackson also had Singers ,, that he gave Much Honor too . He truly Admired . The Legendary ! Father of Soul . The. One, and Only ! The God Father of Soul , James Brown. He put , the Robe on him . On Stage . He Loved Some J.B . 👑👑⭐️⭐️💎💎❤️❤️😊 The Finest and Best Entertainers . Who has Graced the Stage , of Music Sector. They both were so Phenomenal Talented Icons . ❤️😊
They are all talented, but Michael was truly a natural born star and everyone saw it. People were immediately attracted to him and his undeniable presence. I believe they were all a little jealous. I mean who wouldn’t be. Nobody is running out looking for albums by Jermaine. Michael’s music is still selling worldwide as we speak. He was truly a phenomenon.
What Jermaine said at @10:44 is so spot on. Hollywood definitely isolated MJ from the rest of his family and singled him out. And sure enough, he lost his mind. He was the glorious Michael Jackson, but he was extremely lonely. And it is true, if you are not apart of a tribe or a family, you are less likely to survive in the world.
At the end despite there being sibling rivalry (I mean there’s bound to be when your younger bro becomes one of the most biggest artists in music history lol) but at the end of the day you can see the love was still there between them
No it was more then that all of them did him wrong the industry his family only one that was really their for him and loved him was Katherine and Joe but he was so lonely yet so loved by the world :(
@@WiggywonkahThey didn’t do him wrong. They love him, then and now. The evil industry got in and separated them. Every time someone said or printed something vile about Michael, Jermaine was the first person to come to his defense because he loves his little brother.
see how cruel and lovely life is. he basically stepped aside and let the industry consume his brother instead of himself. now he's still here and mike ain't. he didn't realize at the time but funny how that works
Michael Jackson was: unique, an original, a light to the world, a joy to watch, a legend, and simply marvelous. He can't be compared to anyone. I miss HIS Light. When Michael came on T.V. especially the Motown special, I remember my mother watching and fell in love with Billie Jean. He could capture any generation's attention. He was astounding.
Agree but I feel like this may be a result of all the beatings from their father and the image he wanted them to have in front of media since they were children :(
@@gerrilanter1965 Se os pais não lhes desse a disciplina que tiverão eles teriam se perdidos, a questão foi que eles os irmãos nunca souberam individualizar suas carreiras, parecem que ficaram sem ação quanto Michael saiu da banda ,não conseguirão se erguer, se reinventar, procurar novos caminhos musicais talves ficarão com medo das comparações.O Mundo se assustou com o poder e capacidade de Michael ,ele reeinventou a industria fonográfica, tentaram destrui-lo de todas as maneiras não conseguirão.
Michael carried the Motown songs to the end of his days. This suggests that he always remembered where his career began. As for the brothers, everyone was on equal terms. It's just that Michael is a genius, a nugget, a man- music. He needed to develop and move on, which he did.
Michael was a genius. He pushed the envelope not only musically but technology wise as well. He was a show man and had no problem using illusion technique like the screen to make him bigger. Clay animations in his short movies like moonwalker. Making short movies was popular back in the 40s I think so he something old fresh. Michael was a study. A forever student and kind hearted.
I think that despite the rivalries and the bickering, Jermaine truly respected and admired MJ'S abilities. Also, siblings argue over dumb things all the time; but it shouldn't allow a strain on your relationship. Great video from the detail. Long live the king of pop, and Jermaine. 🎉
I think people around Michael were in his ear as well. Same thing happened when Janet got big. We know Michael was hard on himself but he didn’t have people around him that truly loved him and could be honest with him. Too many “yes men” smh
Yeah and Michael continued the money rolling in after J5'S era.. And I'm sure the brothers and their families lived well off of chunks of money MJ through their way.. Let's talk about that!
@@elisageorge2261Let's! It is common knowledge that Jermaine and Randy were but two of several members of the family that used Mama Katherine to get Michael to give them $$$$$$ and she would do it. It frustrated Michael so much NO ONE could just pop up to Neverland. Saddest part is when Michael passed Janet and LaToya went to the house where he died grabbing money, filling garbage bags of his belongings. Basic scavenger styff. And I think you might have heard.or read about a particularly ugly time when Janet, Randy and Jermaine mobbed over to Mama K's DEMANDING to be given some of MJ's money. I will never understand Janet's participation in this extremely ugly incident as she had HER OWN money, but I do know I haven't been able to look at her the same again.
@sweetblaqcoffey962 , What's the big deal, my siblings ask me for $ when they need it all of the time. I am my brothers & sisters keeper period. Also when my father died of course we went to his place to clean up, gather important papers, family momentous $ etc. Family should get it not the state bottom line. Michael felt responsible to help his brothers & sisters when they were in need. There's nothing wrong with that. My problem is everyone else besides family using Michael. He had a very kind & big heart. That sometimes got him into big trouble.
All artists are their own people mj was his own artist am sure at his time when he was young he didn't wanna be compared to the legendary James brown? I think the same goes for the modern artists they don't want be compared to mj.
The amount of work they all had to do is incomprehensible. People only see the glam part but really, I don’t think a lot of us could endure this load. Phenomenal!
I say that for the Jackson brothers..and Joseph also. Nobody knows what his true pressures were. 9 living children, a young wife...in Jim crow era...working 2 steel mill jobs 16 hrs A day 6 days a week in a 2 bedroom house...all the children need and want something different everyday. No matter what tho, Joseph didn't leave Mrs. Katherine with the load. He could have went to work and kept driving to California on his own. He never left his family. Joseph did what he could to make sure his family HIS CHILDREN were successful. Ppl, men now a days can handle 1 child and a young wife in a 2 bedroom working crazy hrs because the family depends on him to provide. Most men today find ANY REASON to leave. We gotta give Joe some credit. He was very hard, strict, controlling...sometimes abusive and worked those boys past exhaustion. But he used his know how from the steel mills and molded his family into icon status for all time. The Jackson name is the golden ticket in Hollywood. We can fault Joseph for ALOT of things but just as bad as he was he meant well. He was from a different time. I bet parents now call Joseph Jackson from the grave and want him to whoop their disrespectful, ungrateful... intitled kids into shape so they appreciate... understand and respect their parents. Some kids now a days could benefit from ol joes switch or belt 😅.
He was so kind that he cheated on his wife with several women and brought his illegitimate child ( that she was not aware of) to a event with his pregnant wife beside him.
Yasss I'd so buy those j5 and Jackson concerts bts videos, interviews, all of that. As a kid I ofc knew mj and was a fan but when i learned he was a chil star and started learnin about j5 i became a total jackons fan first then mj n lastly Janet. I love good times till this day!
MJ was always going to have a solo career but I really feel like if he would’ve kept his fam closer throughout the years in his personal life, he’d still be alive today and possibly not ever dealing with those allegations..
@@eboneyfleming6404 how did his family hurt him you sound really stupid and double dumb smh y'all Michael Jackson fans are just Insane and wacky it's clearly y'all are not real fans of him like y'all think y'all are y'all just be making shit up and believe what y'all want to believe Michael never said anything about his family hurting him of anyone who hurted him is his fans and the the wrong people he surrounded himself with
What we have to understand is when u join the industry they use u up and when they're done w u...especially if ur black...they destroy u and take what u have earned. They agree to this in order to be famous however. If ur on the TV or radio u have to sacrifice...or there is no u. Celebs get big n comfortable n they forget what they signed up for. So when it's time 4u to be an actual sacrifice they get scared and speak out but it's too late. It's time 4 them to collect ur soul. Poor mj even he wasn't exempt to this. We just have to appreciate the time they allowed us to have w artists bc their time comes quicker than their reign. Ask Aaron Carter. Mj told him record companies would rather unalive u than to give u the money u earned...rip mj
I’m always one to give Jermaine his props and the rest of the brothers. Jermaine was extremely talented and his solo albums were pretty good they just weren’t pushed as well. It’s just hard to hold a candle to a once in a lifetime talent as Michael Jackson. Some stars shine brighter but than the others but they still shine. Was Jermaine jealous? I don’t know if that’s accurate but was their competition heck yeah. Michael was competitive himself. I think in the early days Michael looked up to Jermaine. Their co leads were magical together.
I know Jermaine was no Michael, but I have a great love for his hits. Especially the ballads. I can’t imagine wanting to be a soloist and being constantly compared and overshadowed by two of the greatest artists in recent history.
This is the best video I've heard in a long time. He is right in every way. Many celebrities talk about I don't want my family to use me but they have millions and billions. Family was important in slavery out of slavery and up until the 90s. Black people start being successful some rich and famous then selfish with pride. The world did compare Germaine to Michael and definitely tried to compete Janet to Michael. Tried to destroyed the father but he said it without daddy it wouldn't be a Jackson 5. No Tina Turner without Ike. Issac Hayes said he was so poor he prayed every night as a kid for food and a bed to sleep in. These sad stories is what made these people become conquers and not victims.
I don't want to discredit MJ other brothers, but MJ vocals and stage presence plays a BIG role in Jackson 5 success. Imagine other a 9 -12 yr old singer belting "Who's loving you" or "I want you back" live 😅
Jermaine is a great talent people don't realize how much goes in to playing bass guitar to recreate parts you didn't play in the studio for the live shows learning from ear as a kid then singing at same time The Jackson 5 Live At The Forum double disc set and In Japan is great examples out of everybody He got some really deep cuts and I gotta give it to Jermaine he first one to come to his Brother defense plenty of times
I agree with you. He may have felt a little sadness and jealousy over being displaced as lead then Michael going solo but l know he loved his bro dearly and defended him fiercely to the end
Do People Remember the ,Hit R. N. B. Group , call Switch ? With Bobby and Tommy Debarge in the Group ! Well , Jermaine Jackson , He Brought them out . And the Debarge Family Members . Yes he did . Barry White . He heard a Demo Tape , that they had. He heard it . But Barry was Busy , working , with his wife and her Sister ( from ) Love ❤️ The Love ❤️ Unlimited Group ! So he Asked, Jermaine Jackson to Work with them instead . And Jermaine Jackson is a Writer and Producer. I he does play a nice Guitar 🎸 ( Stings ) . All of them in Fact . Has had. Pretty decent Living Lives . ❤️😊.
But to be honest Michael didn't need the jackson5 the Jackson 5 needed Michael and that's facts. He could of made it on his own. Anyone could of been a tito Jermaine Marlon etc...but there was only 1 I said 1 Michael in a lifetime 😅😂
@@KingONeazyOfficial Michael was definitely one of a kind. Berry Gordy made two huge mistakes with the Jackson family. 1 Made almost all the J5 break contract and leave. 2 Did not use Motown's resources to turn the whole Jackson family into a 💰 making machine. MJ went on to sell over 120 million records 🌎 wide. Different company and producer. Other members of the Jackson family had different levels of success outside of Motown. Berry Gordy and Motown could have been part of the Jackson family cash flow.
@KingONeazyOfficial Yes there is One Micheal Jackson but he was a baby watching his older brothers . They paved the way for him simply by micheal watching !!
It's very apparent that Michael and Janet were the most talented of all of the Jackson children. That is a fact, the solo career of Jermaine is no comparison to Michael and Janet. They were the power horses.
It wasn't all Michael, the family was dysfunctional and Michael put distance between him and his brothers for a good reason. If Michael didn't step away and do his own thing they would have held him back to no end, he was already feeling the pressure at the start of the 80's when he waned to branch out on his own. Michael was always close to his Mother and he never stopped supporting his family financially, but his brothers did a lot of things that affected him throughout his life so I don't blame him for needing space fro them. Every time they did get together MJ was pressured to have some reunion tour with them because they wanted the money, even going as far as getting his mother to try and talk him into certain business deals that weren't good for MJ. There was a lot of pressure put on him and he did the right thing in keeping some distance in my opinion.
@@hannaz4617 Thank you my friend, yeah it was totally about money. I don’t think MJ would have distanced himself from them if he was shown unconditional love and none of that pressure to be the cash cow all the time. Did you hear what Michael said about Joe calling him up on Father’s Day to get £500,000 from him? He sounded so exasperated with it all and his brothers were no different. No wonder he distanced himself a lot of the time eh.
@@mjsilverfox Yes, totally, I agree with you, my friend! Michael always supported his brothers and his father financially. He helped his brothers with his their solo careers. He was nurturing and supportive to Tito's sons, Taj, Taryll and TJ. He was their mentor and he signed them to his label MJ Productions. I do understand that Michael didn't wanted to be always responsible for the financial problems of his brothers. They always wanted something from him. They behaved almost like all the other people in Michael's life. It's so clear to me, that this was a big problem in Michael's life. The brothers often asked Katherine to ask Michael for more and more money because they had house payments, child supports...Michael didn't want to provide them with a life long financial support. Michael didn't include his father and brothers in his will. Michael's father demanded a monthly allowance from the Michael Jackson Estate. So, yes, I fully support your statements!
@@hannaz4617 What you said is so true and on point! You know. He was always helping them out of some financial situation or another and never truly got that unconditional love from them. Apart from Katherine, Janet, Rebbie and his nieces and nephews, the rest of the family seem to always want something from him, or doing something out of spite because Michael didn’t give in to some of their demands on him. He had a tremendous weight on his shoulders. Jermaine even released that awful dis song about him. He always forgave them but understandably withdrew. I hope he’s in a better place and resting in peace x
Jermaine is consistent as hell. Outside forces tried & continue to try to crack that family unity. The siblings fight & get on each other's nerves but when all is said & done, THEY ARE TOGETHER. Remember, it was BROTHER RANDY who got Michael in contact with Tom Mesereau, the lawyer who saved Michael from the kangaroo court Tom Sneddon tried to snare him in. The family came to that courtroom in all dressed in White UNIFIED. The family always said they were trying to get through that barrier between Michael & Michael's circle. The barrier began forming after the move from Motown & definitely by Off The Wall after Michael removes Joe as manager. But Thriller is when that barrier became almost insurmountable. Too much fame forced Michael into seclusion. Even from his own family. And he kept looking for outside families to befriend to get that family feeling back. Once his brothers & sisters grew up & had families of their own, it would never be the same as the old days. Michael hated when his brothers got married & moved out in the Jackson 5 days. In a strange way, Michael's Witchhunts forced him to reforge bonds with his family again. When his professional life had a setback, it was an opportunity for his personal life to repair. His fans are a family too but way too crazy for a proper family life. He needed to stay bonded to his blood family. Success cracked the Jackson Family, there's no doubt about it. But the Jacksons are not broken. Katherine made sure of that. She holds that whole family together to this day. Jermaine remembers what it was all about.
Talvez se o pai de Michael Jackson não tivesse sido tão desumano e cruel, Michael Jackson não teria se afastado da família, a verdade é que o pai dele era um monstro, e Michael Jackson teve que se afastar para o bem de sua própria saúde mental.
This is a flaw in his character as much as I love him.Some somr some people hate when their siblings marry and have families of their own Life can never be the same as when all of you were single.Oh course priorities will change.Though you should stay close and in contact as circumstances will allow.When money and fame comes in the mix obviously things get complicated as it did with Michael and his brothers.However when he was in a crisis they were always there for him.Fame. money and hangers on come and go.Families last.
Como Michael Jackson não tem mais. Um verdadeiro presente de Deus especialmente pra todos nós. Sofreu muito com a inveja dos outros. Que ele esteja muito feliz aonde ele estiver.
definitely had a valid point but I think Michael had to probably see some things for himself without his family, learn more about himself...his entire upbringing was based on touring with his brothers and dealing with an overly strict father, we probably would've never got off the Wall and Thriller MJ had he not stood his ground against his pops and filmed the Wiz and met Quincy Jones
Michael Jackson is a ultimate entertainer and The King of Pop of all time, nobody cannot replace Michael, I don't know Michael, but Michael will always be innocent man.
Jermaine speaks with wisdom, and looks like he has always been level headed. I wish Michael had listened to at least 50% of what he's saying. I love the Jackson family, God bless them.❤
They are all people who have already achieved great success at a young age, but Mikey’s popularity and status have already grown beyond anyone‘s imagination. The most successful artist in history. Everyone was crazy about Michael.
Jermaine wanted that the family stays always together. Michael had to follow his own career, to develop his own style of music and dance moves. He had to break away from the family to find his own unique, authentic way of creativity. The way he pronounced his words with his own flavor and his own style and swag set influences for years to come and changed music forever. They still do it in pop music today. He had to do this alone, his brother's were not able to hold him back or they realized that they just were not equal at his level of talent.
@@Mimi-cg2cwtrue but Alejandra wasn't Randy's wife, she was his girlfriend and they had children together, she hooked up with Jermaine to spite Randy because he wasn't ready for marriage, but Randy did marry a girl named Eliza but they eventually broke up. Jermaine first cheated on Hazel Gordy with a woman named Margaret Maldonado and they had 2 sons together and yeah he did leave first and was insanely jealous of Michael and his success, hence the song Word To The Bad, a jealous and insulting shot at Michael. Jermaine 's love for women is public knowledge, he has always been into himself, sure he loves his family, and is very talented but personally and speaking for myself he is just too egotistical and self centered, always craved Michael 's success and popularity. What he did to Randy was absolutely horrible, writing a song like that about Michael is one thing but doing what he did to Randy was inexcusable and so very hard on Randy, that's why the bond between them is broken ( and Alejandra, well don't make me lose my religion, please) she's a jezebel personified, but no Randy and Alejandra never married. You can Google it but I knew anything that when it was public knowledge and scheming conniving Alejandra did an interview about it
@@Mimi-cg2cw Please try to find Margaret Maldonado 's book , she wrote one about the Jacksons and her time with them sometime during the 90's era because Tito was NOT the man because he cheated on his wife Dee Dee Jackson during their marriage. The only Jackson brother ( excluding Michael and MAYBE Randy) who didn't cheat was Marlon Jackson. He and his wife Carol are still very much so together and happily married, Jackie cheated with Paula Abdul on his wife Enid Arden Spann but I can't be sure about others, maybe, maybe not 🤔. But no Tito most definitely is not the man 👎. Go onto the Google site and pull up the name Margaret Maldonado, you should see her photo on the front of the book. It's very interesting indeed. Good luck
I'm nearly 50yo I spent my entire life following the Jackson family. Yes, Michael is a monumental Once in a Lifetime talent on par with Mozart, etc... but NO ONE becomes a success in a vacuum. Michael had the love and support of his FAMILY. The Jacksons are without a doubt THE greatest entertainment FAMILY in music history! His brother talks about how they all lived together in a massive mansion, each having their own 'wing' of the house and never seeing each other for days or weeks at a time! Jermaine Dupri dating Janet said hanging out with the Jacksons (including Michael) was just like any other normal Black family, they wasn't like what you saw on TV
If you read the bodyguards' book, Remember The Time, you will recall the line one of the bodyguards said which is 'dealing with the Jackson family was the most confusing aspect of our job being a bodyguard for Michael. You would think family is the closest people to you, but for some reason, it was the hardest part of our job interacting with them.' Michael wanted to stay as far as he could from his brothers/sisters and overall Jackson family- Katherine was the only exception. He put his bodyguards in an awkward place to have to tell "the" Janet Jackson' or "the" Jermaine Jackson they couldn't speak to Michael.
I remember there's a recorded conversation Michael is having with some woman and I think Michael was complaining how his brothers and father always want money. That might be one reason he didn't want to deal with them.
@@n0u4nThat's us. The black people. "I got my little pile now you go get your own." There is a reason why Arabs and Indians and Asians own all the stores in black neighborhoods.
@@n0u4ngo back & watch the American Dream movie. they touched base on around the time Michael was working on Thriller there was a dialog that Jackie said that "we gotta make an appointment to see our own baby brother". that was real. he didnt want dealings w them people trying to get him to do shit he didnt wanna do. he wanted to focus on himself and his craft. so i can understand why he wanted to isolate. hell id be annoyed too if mfs was constantly asking me for money. family or not.
Jermaine really never had anything to be jealous over . He is equally talented.. wonderful song writer.. he had it and still has it all.. loved his presentation in the 80's..just so royal..all of them the entire family.. just pure talent
Michael and Jermaine Jackson performs "Tell me I'm not dreaming" during the Victory Tour with their brothers. They love Jermaine and his late brother, Michael, who died in June 25, 2009. The King of Pop's fans missed him. Rest in Peace, MJ 🕊️
Great interview by Jermaine Jackson. I'm glad he is sharing the true nature of the entertainment business and how hard his father worked to keep them together! Sadly Michael was removed, as his Mother Katherine also stated in another interview, and this affected him. Deeply!!! And sadly he left us too soon. Kudos to the entire Jackson Family!!! We will always cherish the earlier years, the music, and the gifts you shared. RIP Michael and Joe Jackson. Forever in our hearts💞
One thing for sure, Jermaine stayed true to his darkness in a "soul glow" kind of way. The Jackson 5 cradled one of the greatest musical geniuses of our lifetime. Rip Michael. ❤
Michael was just simply the best. He knew how to sing specific notes “high notes at that”. He knew how to dance perfectly and he knew how to perfect the sound of pop. It makes me sad, that his brothers envied him, even tho I could already could tell, in interviews how they would look at him. At the end of the day, Michael may be dead but there’s one thing I can tell you, his music is very much STILL ALIVE. CUZ U ROCK MY WORLLLLLDDDDDDDDD
I still feel Michael Jackson song, "Who IS IT" he is talking about Jermaine, especially when Michael said in the song you promised you would love me forever!!!!
I know that Michael could've been successful on his own as a solo artist even if he wasn't in the group with his brothers. Originally it was suppose to be four of them in the group. Once they heard him sing, that's when they decided to make him the fifth member.
@@dctalk1117I agree with you on that. Look at Frankie Lymon. Just pulled him away from group as a solo act. Living the adult life way too soon, experiencing things he shouldn’t have and no one to stop him. Who knows, Michael starting without his brothers and family behind him, he may have died before he reached adulthood.
That’s what I said he would’ve been successful with or without. Jermaine aswell Michael Jackson just had better writers and producers on his team n Michael had better influences n stuff that created who he was as a artist Michael Jackson was visionary jermain was just a artist. Michael Jackson was a brand , jermain was just a singer. But I don’t really think jermain was hateing I just think jermain wanted Michael to stay close to the family so Michael wouldn’t self destruct himself but Michael didn’t want nothing to do with the family he wanted be isolated away from the family n be in his own world.
@@rhondapalmer1564 I think unfortunately Jermaine knew that they could only be a successful music band with Michael. He knew without Michael they wouldn't have any real success or money. Michael on the other hand knew that his career with his brother would always be limited. Michael didn't want to have nothing to do with the family, he wanted to follow his dreams. He needed to express himself through music and dance. He was so much more than just an artist. Michael knew he had to follow his self-transformation. He had so much more potential and he wanted to live it. That has nothing to do with the family. He wanted to be true to himself, to be in his authentic self. They often had regular family meetings. He was always close to his family.
Great video! I always liked how the Jackson’s kept their family dynamic in tact for the most part. When Jermaine spoke about his family, you can tell it’s coming from a genuine place. Everyone knows Michael is the talent but it’s cool they never forgot their roots.
It is apparent that Jermaine is wise and understood the unit. Even with their own individual success, the world definitely fight to break the family unit as it will always. Things evolve with time because time never stops and holds on to what matters most
The “King Of POP“ Michael Jackson Gone But Not Forgotten The Greatest Entertainer The World 🌎 Has Ever Seen R.I.P. 🙏🏾😢🎂🎤🎥🍿🔥 THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE APPRECIATION THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM MEMORABLE UNFORGETTABLE UNBELIEVABLE INCREDIBLE REMARKABLE PHENOMENAL PERFECT ⭐️
Yes, they started out as Jackson Five. They were brilliant. But Michael created and performed his own personal brilliance that was far and away better than any of his family could even imagine. To his family- deal with it!!!😅
He seems like such a kind person. His voice is soft and sweet. Very handsome as well. He seems to have a great attitude towards life. I still love their music.
Lo azotaba con un cable, lo trompeaba, era boxeador joe, lo traumo de todas las maneras posiibles, lo formo, inseguro, obsesivo , lo acomplejo para el resto de su vida...y este tipo quiere Que Michael lo comprendiera? En publico siempre agradecia su esfuerzo por formarlo en la musica, por dentro en soledad,..estaba tan dolido, tan lastimado, de saber que nunca lo abrazo, nunca dejo que lo llame papa, nunca lo felicitaba, abrazaba, besaba, ese joe era un monstruo, materialista!!!! Deja de defenderlo!!! Jeremaibe
The jackson family all had star quality at different levels Michael just reached the highest level known to man .in any and all family there will be rivalry and competition when it’s that much talent .
First of all Jermaine is very talented. He doesn't get the credit he deserves because he's Michael Jackson brother totally unfair. He discovered and Produced Switch and Produced Whitney Houston's diamond debut album. Enough said. Give him his just do. Michael Jackson is probably the best entertainer that ever lived. Not many compares to that. !!!!?
So many ppl don't KNOW Jermaine! He has a great catalog of absolute cuts! He's also a VERY handsome older man. If he were to get rid of that awful hairstyle, it would show! ❤
The mistake MJ made was to allow the Jackals to pull him away from the family so they could use him to mint money for them. He would have remained under the wings of his father as manager with little support from outside and the brothers to watch his back. He opened up himself to dangerous people. A great lesson to young people: don't be drawn away from family at whatever cost. When you fall or die, only your parents and close siblings will feel really pain.
In theory that is true but the reality is his family had an agenda and milked him and thats why he did the victory tour was family pressure and wanting to please them especially his mother. Its a dicey situation as you do want to trust your family but when your the level of start MJ was people including family have an agenda and thats just facts. its easy for common people to see keep your family close when your not a megastar and megavalue attached to you.
His father used to bully him for his features and always talked about how skinny he was, he was scarred by that and you can see that by the way he looked by the end of his career, he was a handsome man with nothing wrong with him but he let them words creep into his consciousness, I wouldn’t have went back either
@@dezpoppin8380 Exactly. People love to talk about how you need to stay close to family. Sometimes your blood family treats you worse than anybody else. There is no obligation to stay close to toxic people just because you happen to be related. You have no control over what family you're born into nor how those people will treat you. I only wish that Michael could have found better people to surround himself with after distancing himself from his bio family. He needed a better "chosen family" and people who really understood him. I wish he had more people like Chris Tucker in his life.
I remember watching The Jackson 5, as a kid in rural North Carolina. My eyes and ears were glued to the television! That is exactly where it all began! However it began it began right! I kept up even to today, some 50+ years! The Jackson 5 were indeed a magical moment in time, and being from that era, I can say, they drove a nail in the heart of racism! I will never forget The Jackson 5, and growing up, growing old with them! 😊Hats off to the whole family! 🥰
Michael was the greatest version of his entire family put together. He learned from everything and used it but he definitely left his family when he didn’t need to
O triste da vida deles,é que tiveram que ser adultos ainda sendo crianças. Cumprindo horários e trabalhando muito. O Michaeljj com 5 anos foi o mais afetado de todos.
Verdade e parece q os irmãos de Michael ainda defende o pai o Michael era o melhor de todos a li ele era a mina de ouro e sulgaram ele até o fim e se a mãe de Michael não tivece falado para o pai q ele sabia cantar e que era o melhor não o Michael não teria sofrido tanto e nem tinha tantos tralmas mas também não tínhamos o rei do pop
Michael is our master, as he got knowlege from many, he is the first inspiration for people like me, many are going to see, but Jermaine has all the reason, he got it, I really agree, Jermaine, I train with you ❤❤❤matter of time
Jermaine can talk that talk about being a family and having to stay close but sometimes you simply have to remove yourself from a toxic family unit. We don’t have the whole story.
@@Peace-mp2hx No it's not. It can be clearly defined. It's not based on one person's view over another. Conditions have to be meet in order to say that something or someone or a situation is toxic.
Have of y’all wasn’t even born doing those jackson five days. Michael just gave into the Hollywood hype manipulation the situation once Michael saw that the industry and outside world was pumping him up he took that and ran with it. It’s ok to do your own thing. He didn’t have to treat his brothers like that cause for real Jermaine was the lead singer Jermaine has great songs , they had different style of music.Jermaine and Jackie was like a Marvin Gaye , Jackie Wilson grown folks music .only cause Michael was lil singing and dancing. The smallest always get more attention Michael let that industry Hollywood manipulation turn his back on his family, Michael turn his back on his brothers but it was his big brother Jermaine who got him out of the country paid for everything so his lil brother can have peace..No one was hating or jealous of Micheal y’all really believe Michael was perfect y’all act like Michael was a lil a&& boy he knew better, using that manipulation.
Its crazy to even try and say Jermaine was jealous of MJ . , I’ve read everything there is to know about the Jackson’s and it had nothing to do with Michael’s success . Ppl that’s not in the industry will never understand how this industry can tear ppl /family apart
Wow, what a beautiful video you put together. Thank you so much for showing Michael and the Jackson family such love and respect. I was not aware that Jermaine did so many interviews - wow, I missed so many! What Jermaine said made absolute sense.
That hit home with me... My grandmother had an old ringer style washing machine, I remember my cousin Ellen & I would dance to the rhythmic sound made by the washing machine.😊
I appreciate all Jermaine’s responses to the questions about rivalry and so on being “we are family, we are brothers” well done sir. Hollywood always wants to tear down and trash everything.
Michael was the engineer in this family. His brothers were the followers. Thank you all for sharing your talents and sharing your life with the world. We love all of you. Of course, MJ is my favorite.
You can tell that all of the jackson’s have an unspoken love and bond. Jermaine never talked bad about michael and vice versa. They were family at the end of the day no matter what
This Jackson 5 guy is making sense . Do not forget the days of little beginning. There is always one person in a family that tries to keep the bound of unity from outside influence, especially when success in-roads. Unity is the key. Without it, everything will go almost spontaneous.
All of them are legends in their own persona.. no need for jealousy. Each & every one of them are influential. Michael is gone now, the brothers are still carrying the legacy to all that still appreciate them. Including myself. My first concert was J5 back in 73. I hope to meet them soon....
Listening to him I see why Michael Jackson favoured Jermaine he was profound he knew what his brother would go through and respected even his terrible Father that what he did came from love and most importantly accepted the days they suffered as being special I never knew this about him wish Michael Jackson listened more to his brother he would avoided a lot of mayhem.
I'm happy that Jermaine is a supportive brother and I know that if a bunch of stuff went on between him and Michael it wouldn't matter because at the end of the day they always had love for one another. Jermaine is a good brother and I'm happy that Michael had him.
I love them ...the Jacksons. They were in our house on the 'record player', loud and in effect every day (when my parents would go to work), we would jam out with them! Their songs and style were mimicked in talent shows and their songs were always being sung on the school bus, and everybody picked a favorite and wanted to be just like him (or her...with Janet) I was no exception. On dreamy summer nights me and my sisters would lay across the bed and listen to them and talk about which one was the cutest, or could sing the best. Our walls and notebooks always had a picture of them. We sang along, practiced harmony, and today it still is a factor when I sing. We picked and laughed and sang along, and got quiet and attentive when the ballads were knocked out. We felt like they really liked us and cared about us as fans.... Well, we are all grown now. Like them, our brother and our father (and unlike them, our mother) are transcended, so we are three less. They are fortunate to still have their mother in their grown years.....But we still love them very much...even if they don't know it....and can't in any way return that same feeling. its okay...because, at any time I can go to my media of choice and pull them up and reminisce. The only thing I wish I would have done is have more videos of my brother, who is now gone, and my own folks. I have one of David, that I listen to when I want to hear his voice. It must be fantastic to be able to hear them (Michael, and Joe) after they are now gone. Families matter.... and no publicity or no people can pull them apart or replace what they have for each other.
Great video! What Joe and Katherine created was one of a kind! 🎉 I have so much respect for the entire Jackson family. Thank you Jermaine for not letting Hollywood or anyone else sway you or distort the truth! Such talent, hard work and grace. Michael, Jermaine, Janet and the Jackson 5 are pure magic! 🎶 And family is everything.
I loved him so much 💝. I've been having a hard time living without him. The best, no more since. I love the Jacksons. Michael was our baby boy out there. Our gift, from the Most High, our wonder of the world ❤️ and our baby boy. He completed his mission and went back to Paradise. Amen MJ GOD got you.
And There are fans who even argue, talk shit about Michael's family...What these idiots dont realize is they are family, no matter what. They know who is who and who they really are behind the cameras. As he said...i agree 100%: If it wasnt for their parents, there wouldn't be the jackson 5 and consequently neither MJ and Janet's solo careers. The chances this happen would be remote.
Thank you for actually being a sensible, reasonable, logical fan!!! Those are really rare to find these days. I really hate how people trash on MJ’s family, just to uplift MJ. It’s so pathetic. And as much as I really dislike how Joe treated his children, I completely agree that he is the reason why MJ and Janet had such successful careers.
@@awm4359 Thank you 🙂. These idiots are so blinded kissing MJ's as.s that they dont realize he wouldn't b who he was without the parents which doesnt mean i agree How Joe treated them. At least Jermaine acknowlegde them. If It wasn't for both parents, they probably would end up growing up to live a mediocre life in Gary, in poverty and lack of oportunity.
@@keithagasa9940 Right, but still got to be the biggest superstar. It would be worse if he grew up to be broke or a criminal. Many ppl out there had traumatic childhood the only difference is they arent famous and didnt have the same oportunity.
Jermaine is a lovely person. What you see is what you get ☺️ I remember when he visited my home town in the 00’s and there was only a few of us ready to greet him, he was just as sweet and gentle then. I was so sad not to of ever met Michael as he was my absolute fave 🥰
I think there is more to it than that. Staying wasn't the right thing for him, he was right to become a solo artist. Jackson 5 wouldn't have made what he made. but addressing the hurts, jealousy, and pride and then reconciling would have been good for him and them. As a person who had the same family dynamic when I was young as they did, family members change and sometimes you have to distance yourself to be in a better place. Otherwise they'll take you down. I think what is sad is that he felt he had to do that.
Michael was simply once in a lifetime talent. Sorry but nobody can MOVE like him, nobody can ENTERTAIN like him, nobody can SING like him and nobody can OWN A STAGE like him.
Michael Jackson also had Singers ,, that he gave Much Honor too . He truly Admired . The Legendary ! Father of Soul . The. One, and Only ! The God Father of Soul , James Brown. He put , the Robe on him . On Stage . He Loved Some J.B . 👑👑⭐️⭐️💎💎❤️❤️😊 The Finest and Best Entertainers . Who has Graced the Stage , of Music Sector. They both were so Phenomenal Talented Icons . ❤️😊
Absolutely! One of two of my favourite performing artists of all times. RIP kind soul. ❤
Yup 💯!!
Except Prince that moved better, sang better, played instruments, and commanded the stage like no one has or will.
Mike was #1 in everything he did! He practiced, practiced, practiced!! That is what made him so much better than the rest!!❤❤❤
They are all talented, but Michael was truly a natural born star and everyone saw it. People were immediately attracted to him and his undeniable presence. I believe they were all a little jealous. I mean who wouldn’t be. Nobody is running out looking for albums by Jermaine. Michael’s music is still selling worldwide as we speak. He was truly a phenomenon.
He was an ogbanje child
@@darkseiidhe was a what now?
Nobody looks from Jermaine Jackson ?
Talk for yourself that's not true
@@darkseiidare u Nigerian? 😂😂
Awesome post
What Jermaine said at @10:44 is so spot on. Hollywood definitely isolated MJ from the rest of his family and singled him out. And sure enough, he lost his mind. He was the glorious Michael Jackson, but he was extremely lonely. And it is true, if you are not apart of a tribe or a family, you are less likely to survive in the world.
At the end despite there being sibling rivalry (I mean there’s bound to be when your younger bro becomes one of the most biggest artists in music history lol) but at the end of the day you can see the love was still there between them
Yes divide and conquer. They were handlers who used and abused him 💔
No it was more then that all of them did him wrong the industry his family only one that was really their for him and loved him was Katherine and Joe but he was so lonely yet so loved by the world :(
@@WiggywonkahThey didn’t do him wrong. They love him, then and now. The evil industry got in and separated them. Every time someone said or printed something vile about Michael, Jermaine was the first person to come to his defense because he loves his little brother.
see how cruel and lovely life is. he basically stepped aside and let the industry consume his brother instead of himself. now he's still here and mike ain't. he didn't realize at the time but funny how that works
Michael Jackson was: unique, an original, a light to the world, a joy to watch, a legend, and simply marvelous. He can't be compared to anyone. I miss HIS Light. When Michael came on T.V. especially the Motown special, I remember my mother watching and fell in love with Billie Jean. He could capture any generation's attention. He was astounding.
Michael's music definitely hit different. His old school music was ahead of his time and he shit on his peers
All of the Jackson siblings have a shy like presence about themselves. All of them seem very humble when conducting interviews. Even as adults.
Agree but I feel like this may be a result of all the beatings from their father and the image he wanted them to have in front of media since they were children :(
Thanks for this! "Hollywood didn't look at the tree for it's beauty, they looked at it for it's individual branches." Very wise words.
Yes. It tells you how much they respected their parents, too. Jermaine and all of them have some real heart!
@@gerrilanter1965 Se os pais não lhes desse a disciplina que tiverão eles teriam se perdidos, a questão foi que eles os irmãos nunca souberam individualizar suas carreiras, parecem que ficaram sem ação quanto Michael saiu da banda ,não conseguirão se erguer, se reinventar, procurar novos caminhos musicais talves ficarão com medo das comparações.O Mundo se assustou com o poder e capacidade de Michael ,ele reeinventou a industria fonográfica, tentaram destrui-lo de todas as maneiras não conseguirão.
Michael carried the Motown songs to the end of his days. This suggests that he always remembered where his career began. As for the brothers, everyone was on equal terms. It's just that Michael is a genius, a nugget, a man- music. He needed to develop and move on, which he did.
Facts.
Michael was a genius. He pushed the envelope not only musically but technology wise as well. He was a show man and had no problem using illusion technique like the screen to make him bigger. Clay animations in his short movies like moonwalker. Making short movies was popular back in the 40s I think so he something old fresh. Michael was a study. A forever student and kind hearted.
@@MsTrueTyso well said
@@MsTrueTy I Agree ☝️
That’s true and his family should be happy and proud of what he did.
They were family. Aside from the music the dance and the harmony THEY WERE BROTHERS. Jermaine really said something in this piece😘
I think that despite the rivalries and the bickering, Jermaine truly respected and admired MJ'S abilities. Also, siblings argue over dumb things all the time; but it shouldn't allow a strain on your relationship. Great video from the detail. Long live the king of pop, and Jermaine. 🎉
I think people around Michael were in his ear as well. Same thing happened when Janet got big. We know Michael was hard on himself but he didn’t have people around him that truly loved him and could be honest with him. Too many “yes men” smh
Yeah and Michael continued the money rolling in after J5'S era.. And I'm sure the brothers and their families lived well off of chunks of money MJ through their way.. Let's talk about that!
@@elisageorge2261 OH YEAH !! TALK !!🤣
@@elisageorge2261Let's! It is common knowledge that Jermaine and Randy were but two of several members of the family that used Mama Katherine to get Michael to give them $$$$$$ and she would do it. It frustrated Michael so much NO ONE could just pop up to Neverland. Saddest part is when Michael passed Janet and LaToya went to the house where he died grabbing money, filling garbage bags of his belongings. Basic scavenger styff. And I think you might have heard.or read about a particularly ugly time when Janet, Randy and Jermaine mobbed over to Mama K's DEMANDING to be given some of MJ's money. I will never understand Janet's participation in this extremely ugly incident as she had HER OWN money, but I do know I haven't been able to look at her the same again.
@sweetblaqcoffey962 , What's the big deal, my siblings ask me for $ when they need it all of the time. I am my brothers & sisters keeper period. Also when my father died of course we went to his place to clean up, gather important papers, family momentous $ etc. Family should get it not the state bottom line. Michael felt responsible to help his brothers & sisters when they were in need. There's nothing wrong with that. My problem is everyone else besides family using Michael. He had a very kind & big heart. That sometimes got him into big trouble.
Let’s be honest no matter how we try there’s never gonna be another Michael Jackson … they all sound alike so calm
All artists are their own people mj was his own artist am sure at his time when he was young he didn't wanna be compared to the legendary James brown? I think the same goes for the modern artists they don't want be compared to mj.
The amount of work they all had to do is incomprehensible. People only see the glam part but really, I don’t think a lot of us could endure this load. Phenomenal!
I say that for the Jackson brothers..and Joseph also. Nobody knows what his true pressures were. 9 living children, a young wife...in Jim crow era...working 2 steel mill jobs 16 hrs A day 6 days a week in a 2 bedroom house...all the children need and want something different everyday. No matter what tho, Joseph didn't leave Mrs. Katherine with the load. He could have went to work and kept driving to California on his own. He never left his family. Joseph did what he could to make sure his family HIS CHILDREN were successful. Ppl, men now a days can handle 1 child and a young wife in a 2 bedroom working crazy hrs because the family depends on him to provide. Most men today find ANY REASON to leave. We gotta give Joe some credit. He was very hard, strict, controlling...sometimes abusive and worked those boys past exhaustion. But he used his know how from the steel mills and molded his family into icon status for all time. The Jackson name is the golden ticket in Hollywood. We can fault Joseph for ALOT of things but just as bad as he was he meant well. He was from a different time. I bet parents now call Joseph Jackson from the grave and want him to whoop their disrespectful, ungrateful... intitled kids into shape so they appreciate... understand and respect their parents. Some kids now a days could benefit from ol joes switch or belt 😅.
I like how Jermaine kept the conversation positive and he refused to play into negativity.
Because the negativity is rooted in his jealousy and he sure as hell isn’t gonna admit to that.
He’s consistent in all the interviews
"When he does great WE do great, when gets hurt, WE get hurt". Said it like it is.
Every time I see Jermaine Jackson, I am always reminded of just how kind he is.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Randy's ex gf and the kids she had with both brothers thinks so too! 😂😂😂😂
@@WanderingSpirit-ld1zcmonkey business going downnn

Yasss I'd so buy those j5 and Jackson concerts bts videos, interviews, all of that. As a kid I ofc knew mj and was a fan but when i learned he was a chil star and started learnin about j5 i became a total jackons fan first then mj n lastly Janet. I love good times till this day!
Great idea
‼️💯
MJ was always going to have a solo career but I really feel like if he would’ve kept his fam closer throughout the years in his personal life, he’d still be alive today and possibly not ever dealing with those allegations..
I say the same thing
His family hurt him ...
@@eboneyfleming6404 how did his family hurt him you sound really stupid and double dumb smh y'all Michael Jackson fans are just Insane and wacky it's clearly y'all are not real fans of him like y'all think y'all are y'all just be making shit up and believe what y'all want to believe Michael never said anything about his family hurting him of anyone who hurted him is his fans and the the wrong people he surrounded himself with
What we have to understand is when u join the industry they use u up and when they're done w u...especially if ur black...they destroy u and take what u have earned. They agree to this in order to be famous however. If ur on the TV or radio u have to sacrifice...or there is no u. Celebs get big n comfortable n they forget what they signed up for. So when it's time 4u to be an actual sacrifice they get scared and speak out but it's too late. It's time 4 them to collect ur soul. Poor mj even he wasn't exempt to this. We just have to appreciate the time they allowed us to have w artists bc their time comes quicker than their reign. Ask Aaron Carter. Mj told him record companies would rather unalive u than to give u the money u earned...rip mj
It is what it is! That is the MJ who already predicted his short time here on earth.. his Legacy will live forever.
I’m always one to give Jermaine his props and the rest of the brothers. Jermaine was extremely talented and his solo albums were pretty good they just weren’t pushed as well. It’s just hard to hold a candle to a once in a lifetime talent as Michael Jackson. Some stars shine brighter but than the others but they still shine. Was Jermaine jealous? I don’t know if that’s accurate but was their competition heck yeah. Michael was competitive himself. I think in the early days Michael looked up to Jermaine. Their co leads were magical together.
Michael Jackson was a genius, A great voice, So much talent, There will be never another Michael Jackson, The legend, The best💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️
a great dancer with a horrible singing style . . . .
I know Jermaine was no Michael, but I have a great love for his hits. Especially the ballads. I can’t imagine wanting to be a soloist and being constantly compared and overshadowed by two of the greatest artists in recent history.
THIS!
Agreed !! He has mad talent!!
Two? Who's the other? Micheal and
@@dupersuper6516Janet
Great family values, they have separated from the group, but they always stayed together as family, love 💖 them, and God bless them.😊
Jermaine is very underrated and an amazing humble person.
I have nothing to say about Jermaine other than "Including Jermaine"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Ayy, I have a video about that good deep dive😹😹🍿
😂😂😂😂😂 I died when he said that
This comment is gold
This is the best video I've heard in a long time. He is right in every way. Many celebrities talk about I don't want my family to use me but they have millions and billions. Family was important in slavery out of slavery and up until the 90s. Black people start being successful some rich and famous then selfish with pride. The world did compare Germaine to Michael and definitely tried to compete Janet to Michael. Tried to destroyed the father but he said it without daddy it wouldn't be a Jackson 5. No Tina Turner without Ike. Issac Hayes said he was so poor he prayed every night as a kid for food and a bed to sleep in. These sad stories is what made these people become conquers and not victims.
I don't want to discredit MJ other brothers, but MJ vocals and stage presence plays a BIG role in Jackson 5 success. Imagine other a 9 -12 yr old singer belting "Who's loving you" or "I want you back" live 😅
You can feel that he really loved him ❤
Business or success are nothing beside it.
Jermaine is a great talent people don't realize how much goes in to playing bass guitar to recreate parts you didn't play in the studio for the live shows learning from ear as a kid then singing at same time The Jackson 5 Live At The Forum double disc set and In Japan is great examples out of everybody He got some really deep cuts and I gotta give it to Jermaine he first one to come to his Brother defense plenty of times
I agree with you. He may have felt a little sadness and jealousy over being displaced as lead then Michael going solo but l know he loved his bro dearly and defended him fiercely to the end
And dancing!
Loves me some Jacksons 5 ,my favorite group of all time .
He did indeed ❤
Do People Remember the ,Hit R. N. B. Group , call Switch ? With Bobby and Tommy Debarge in the Group ! Well , Jermaine Jackson , He Brought them out . And the Debarge Family Members . Yes he did . Barry White . He heard a Demo Tape , that they had. He heard it . But Barry was Busy , working , with his wife and her Sister ( from ) Love ❤️ The Love ❤️ Unlimited Group ! So he Asked, Jermaine Jackson to Work with them instead . And Jermaine Jackson is a Writer and Producer. I he does play a nice Guitar 🎸 ( Stings ) . All of them in Fact . Has had. Pretty decent Living Lives . ❤️😊.
Michael is unique. Something about him was just meant to be a star.
Jermaine was definitely right when he said the J5 was the platform for the solo careers of MJ and Janet.
But to be honest Michael didn't need the jackson5 the Jackson 5 needed Michael and that's facts. He could of made it on his own. Anyone could of been a tito Jermaine Marlon etc...but there was only 1 I said 1 Michael in a lifetime 😅😂
@@KingONeazyOfficial Michael was definitely one of a kind. Berry Gordy made two huge mistakes with the Jackson family. 1 Made almost all the J5 break contract and leave. 2 Did not use Motown's resources to turn the whole Jackson family into a 💰 making machine. MJ went on to sell over 120 million records 🌎 wide. Different company and producer. Other members of the Jackson family had different levels of success outside of Motown. Berry
Gordy and Motown could have been part of the Jackson family cash flow.
@KingONeazyOfficial Yes there is One Micheal Jackson but he was a baby watching his older brothers . They paved the way for him simply by micheal watching !!
It's very apparent that Michael and Janet were the most talented of all of the Jackson children. That is a fact, the solo career of Jermaine is no comparison to Michael and Janet. They were the power horses.
Randy could have been up there with Michael and Janet too had he kept the same Drive @@kimsmith6225
There’s just something about Michael, his presence, his talent is undeniable.
Jermaine is right, people try to pull you apart as you get big !! I wish MJ had of not let no one come between the family!!❤
It wasn't all Michael, the family was dysfunctional and Michael put distance between him and his brothers for a good reason. If Michael didn't step away and do his own thing they would have held him back to no end, he was already feeling the pressure at the start of the 80's when he waned to branch out on his own. Michael was always close to his Mother and he never stopped supporting his family financially, but his brothers did a lot of things that affected him throughout his life so I don't blame him for needing space fro them.
Every time they did get together MJ was pressured to have some reunion tour with them because they wanted the money, even going as far as getting his mother to try and talk him into certain business deals that weren't good for MJ. There was a lot of pressure put on him and he did the right thing in keeping some distance in my opinion.
@@mjsilverfox Exactly. You really nailed it down. Unfortunately it was the money. They needed Michael to make money. I agree with you completely!
@@hannaz4617 Thank you my friend, yeah it was totally about money. I don’t think MJ would have distanced himself from them if he was shown unconditional love and none of that pressure to be the cash cow all the time.
Did you hear what Michael said about Joe calling him up on Father’s Day to get £500,000 from him? He sounded so exasperated with it all and his brothers were no different. No wonder he distanced himself a lot of the time eh.
@@mjsilverfox Yes, totally, I agree with you, my friend! Michael always supported his brothers and his father financially. He helped his brothers with his their solo careers. He was nurturing and supportive to Tito's sons, Taj, Taryll and TJ. He was their mentor and he signed them to his label MJ Productions. I do understand that Michael didn't wanted to be always responsible for the financial problems of his brothers. They always wanted something from him. They behaved almost like all the other people in Michael's life. It's so clear to me, that this was a big problem in Michael's life. The brothers often asked Katherine to ask Michael for more and more money because they had house payments, child supports...Michael didn't want to provide them with a life long financial support. Michael didn't include his father and brothers in his will. Michael's father demanded a monthly allowance from the Michael Jackson Estate. So, yes, I fully support your statements!
@@hannaz4617 What you said is so true and on point! You know. He was always helping them out of some financial situation or another and never truly got that unconditional love from them. Apart from Katherine, Janet, Rebbie and his nieces and nephews, the rest of the family seem to always want something from him, or doing something out of spite because Michael didn’t give in to some of their demands on him. He had a tremendous weight on his shoulders. Jermaine even released that awful dis song about him. He always forgave them but understandably withdrew. I hope he’s in a better place and resting in peace x
Jermaine is consistent as hell. Outside forces tried & continue to try to crack that family unity.
The siblings fight & get on each other's nerves but when all is said & done, THEY ARE TOGETHER.
Remember, it was BROTHER RANDY who got Michael in contact with Tom Mesereau, the lawyer who saved Michael from the kangaroo court Tom Sneddon tried to snare him in. The family came to that courtroom in all dressed in White UNIFIED.
The family always said they were trying to get through that barrier between Michael & Michael's circle.
The barrier began forming after the move from Motown & definitely by Off The Wall after Michael removes Joe as manager.
But Thriller is when that barrier became almost insurmountable. Too much fame forced Michael into seclusion.
Even from his own family. And he kept looking for outside families to befriend to get that family feeling back.
Once his brothers & sisters grew up & had families of their own, it would never be the same as the old days.
Michael hated when his brothers got married & moved out in the Jackson 5 days.
In a strange way, Michael's Witchhunts forced him to reforge bonds with his family again.
When his professional life had a setback, it was an opportunity for his personal life to repair.
His fans are a family too but way too crazy for a proper family life. He needed to stay bonded to his blood family.
Success cracked the Jackson Family, there's no doubt about it. But the Jacksons are not broken.
Katherine made sure of that. She holds that whole family together to this day. Jermaine remembers what it was all about.
Talvez se o pai de Michael Jackson não tivesse sido tão desumano e cruel, Michael Jackson não teria se afastado da família, a verdade é que o pai dele era um monstro, e Michael Jackson teve que se afastar para o bem de sua própria saúde mental.

Life can never be the same as when all of you were single.Oh course priorities will change.Though you should stay close and in contact as circumstances will allow.When money and fame comes in the mix obviously things get complicated as it did with Michael and his brothers.However when he was in a crisis they were always there for him.Fame.
money and hangers on come and go.Families last.
😢❤ So true
Como Michael Jackson não tem mais. Um verdadeiro presente de Deus especialmente pra todos nós. Sofreu muito com a inveja dos outros. Que ele esteja muito feliz aonde ele estiver.
The envy of others…including Jermaine. He strikes me as a bitter and very jealous guy.
Sofreu com o despeito, inveja dos próprios irmãos. Jermaine não passa de um traidor.
@@futureintime e o michael falando ainda:
Quero agradecer a todos meus irmãos,INCLUDE JERMAINE
definitely had a valid point but I think Michael had to probably see some things for himself without his family, learn more about himself...his entire upbringing was based on touring with his brothers and dealing with an overly strict father, we probably would've never got off the Wall and Thriller MJ had he not stood his ground against his pops and filmed the Wiz and met Quincy Jones
We will never know. But I do believe if Micheal Jackson would have stayed closer to his family he would still be alive.
Yes he should have stayed closer to his family.
Michael Jackson is a ultimate entertainer and The King of Pop of all time, nobody cannot replace Michael, I don't know Michael, but Michael will always be innocent man.
Agreed 👍
Jermaine speaks with wisdom, and looks like he has always been level headed. I wish Michael had listened to at least 50% of what he's saying. I love the Jackson family, God bless them.❤
They are all people who have already achieved great success at a young age, but Mikey’s popularity and status have already grown beyond anyone‘s imagination. The most successful artist in history. Everyone was crazy about Michael.
Jermaine wanted that the family stays always together. Michael had to follow his own career, to develop his own style of music and dance moves. He had to break away from the family to find his own unique, authentic way of creativity. The way he pronounced his words with his own flavor and his own style and swag set influences for years to come and changed music forever. They still do it in pop music today. He had to do this alone, his brother's were not able to hold him back or they realized that they just were not equal at his level of talent.
Please .Jermaine left first... Jermaine cheated on Hazel and had 2 kids with Randy wife.. Jermaine is mess. Tito is the man
I don't perceive staying together as a family as working together. Despite success, family remains family.
@@Mimi-cg2cwtrue but Alejandra wasn't Randy's wife, she was his girlfriend and they had children together, she hooked up with Jermaine to spite Randy because he wasn't ready for marriage, but Randy did marry a girl named Eliza but they eventually broke up. Jermaine first cheated on Hazel Gordy with a woman named Margaret Maldonado and they had 2 sons together and yeah he did leave first and was insanely jealous of Michael and his success, hence the song Word To The Bad, a jealous and insulting shot at Michael. Jermaine 's love for women is public knowledge, he has always been into himself, sure he loves his family, and is very talented but personally and speaking for myself he is just too egotistical and self centered, always craved Michael 's success and popularity. What he did to Randy was absolutely horrible, writing a song like that about Michael is one thing but doing what he did to Randy was inexcusable and so very hard on Randy, that's why the bond between them is broken ( and Alejandra, well don't make me lose my religion, please) she's a jezebel personified, but no Randy and Alejandra never married. You can Google it but I knew anything that when it was public knowledge and scheming conniving Alejandra did an interview about it
@@Mimi-cg2cw Please try to find Margaret Maldonado 's book , she wrote one about the Jacksons and her time with them sometime during the 90's era because Tito was NOT the man because he cheated on his wife Dee Dee Jackson during their marriage. The only Jackson brother ( excluding Michael and MAYBE Randy) who didn't cheat was Marlon Jackson. He and his wife Carol are still very much so together and happily married, Jackie cheated with Paula Abdul on his wife Enid Arden Spann but I can't be sure about others, maybe, maybe not 🤔. But no Tito most definitely is not the man 👎. Go onto the Google site and pull up the name Margaret Maldonado, you should see her photo on the front of the book. It's very interesting indeed. Good luck
I think he wanted to get away from his father and that sadly meant leaving his family.
I'm nearly 50yo I spent my entire life following the Jackson family. Yes, Michael is a monumental Once in a Lifetime talent on par with Mozart, etc... but NO ONE becomes a success in a vacuum. Michael had the love and support of his FAMILY. The Jacksons are without a doubt THE greatest entertainment FAMILY in music history! His brother talks about how they all lived together in a massive mansion, each having their own 'wing' of the house and never seeing each other for days or weeks at a time! Jermaine Dupri dating Janet said hanging out with the Jacksons (including Michael) was just like any other normal Black family, they wasn't like what you saw on TV
Love Jermaine and I absolutely love what he said about the parables - the trees and the sticks. I really felt that ❤️💯🙏🏽
Wow...I had never heard a lot of the things Jermaine said. This was eye opening. I have always been a Jermaine Jackson fan, he was my first concert.
If you read the bodyguards' book, Remember The Time, you will recall the line one of the bodyguards said which is 'dealing with the Jackson family was the most confusing aspect of our job being a bodyguard for Michael. You would think family is the closest people to you, but for some reason, it was the hardest part of our job interacting with them.'
Michael wanted to stay as far as he could from his brothers/sisters and overall Jackson family- Katherine was the only exception. He put his bodyguards in an awkward place to have to tell "the" Janet Jackson' or "the" Jermaine Jackson they couldn't speak to Michael.
The whole shit jacko family, you can throw in the trash 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shit we don’t know what they did to MJ as a kid to make him feel like that tbh, it can be understandable
I remember there's a recorded conversation Michael is having with some woman and I think Michael was complaining how his brothers and father always want money. That might be one reason he didn't want to deal with them.
@@n0u4nThat's us. The black people.
"I got my little pile now you go get your own." There is a reason why Arabs and Indians and Asians own all the stores in black neighborhoods.
@@n0u4ngo back & watch the American Dream movie. they touched base on around the time Michael was working on Thriller there was a dialog that Jackie said that "we gotta make an appointment to see our own baby brother". that was real. he didnt want dealings w them people trying to get him to do shit he didnt wanna do. he wanted to focus on himself and his craft. so i can understand why he wanted to isolate. hell id be annoyed too if mfs was constantly asking me for money. family or not.
That’s true Jermaine usually gets jealous on him, but he still loves his brother Michael he never gives up on him
Jermaine really never had anything to be jealous over . He is equally talented.. wonderful song writer.. he had it and still has it all.. loved his presentation in the 80's..just so royal..all of them the entire family.. just pure talent
Jermaine is equally talented with Michael? 😆ok....
@@prostratic He is a talented song writer..look him up..
@@Demebeso714 If Jermaine was so talented I wouldn't need to look him up. No one needs to look up Michael.
@@prostratic I said look him up because you obviously didn't know..
Word To The Bad
Michael and Jermaine Jackson performs "Tell me I'm not dreaming" during the Victory Tour with their brothers. They love Jermaine and his late brother, Michael, who died in June 25, 2009. The King of Pop's fans missed him. Rest in Peace, MJ 🕊️
Love that song
@@carltonsam8740 I recently downloaded it to play in my car.
Great interview by Jermaine Jackson. I'm glad he is sharing the true nature of the entertainment business and how hard his father worked to keep them together! Sadly Michael was removed, as his Mother Katherine also stated in another interview, and this affected him. Deeply!!! And sadly he left us too soon. Kudos to the entire Jackson Family!!! We will always cherish the earlier years, the music, and the gifts you shared. RIP Michael and Joe Jackson. Forever in our hearts💞
One thing for sure, Jermaine stayed true to his darkness in a "soul glow" kind of way. The Jackson 5 cradled one of the greatest musical geniuses of our lifetime. Rip Michael. ❤
That’s right! Michael & Janet are on the platform of the Jackson 5.
Michael was just simply the best. He knew how to sing specific notes “high notes at that”. He knew how to dance perfectly and he knew how to perfect the sound of pop. It makes me sad, that his brothers envied him, even tho I could already could tell, in interviews how they would look at him. At the end of the day, Michael may be dead but there’s one thing I can tell you, his music is very much STILL ALIVE. CUZ U ROCK MY WORLLLLLDDDDDDDDD
You would envy him too if you were them so stop pretending to be the Saint
I still feel Michael Jackson song, "Who IS IT" he is talking about Jermaine, especially when Michael said in the song you promised you would love me forever!!!!
Jermaine was NEVER jealous of Michael, he loved his brother. I don't even understand why this video was even made. I repeat, Jermaine LOVED Michael.
I believe all of the brothers loved each other
I know that Michael could've been successful on his own as a solo artist even if he wasn't in the group with his brothers. Originally it was suppose to be four of them in the group. Once they heard him sing, that's when they decided to make him the fifth member.
MJ era muito pequeno, a avó foi quem falou para seus irmãos, que o deixassem entrar no grupo. MJ sabia o que queria desde muito pequeno.
originally it was 3 not 4, Marlon and Michael joined together, He would still be successful but not as big without the J5
@@dctalk1117I agree with you on that. Look at Frankie Lymon. Just pulled him away from group as a solo act. Living the adult life way too soon, experiencing things he shouldn’t have and no one to stop him. Who knows, Michael starting without his brothers and family behind him, he may have died before he reached adulthood.
That’s what I said he would’ve been successful with or without. Jermaine aswell Michael Jackson just had better writers and producers on his team n Michael had better influences n stuff that created who he was as a artist Michael Jackson was visionary jermain was just a artist. Michael Jackson was a brand , jermain was just a singer. But I don’t really think jermain was hateing I just think jermain wanted Michael to stay close to the family so Michael wouldn’t self destruct himself but Michael didn’t want nothing to do with the family he wanted be isolated away from the family n be in his own world.
@@rhondapalmer1564 I think unfortunately Jermaine knew that they could only be a successful music band with Michael. He knew without Michael they wouldn't have any real success or money. Michael on the other hand knew that his career with his brother would always be limited. Michael didn't want to have nothing to do with the family, he wanted to follow his dreams. He needed to express himself through music and dance. He was so much more than just an artist. Michael knew he had to follow his self-transformation. He had so much more potential and he wanted to live it. That has nothing to do with the family. He wanted to be true to himself, to be in his authentic self. They often had regular family meetings. He was always close to his family.
Great video! I always liked how the Jackson’s kept their family dynamic in tact for the most part. When Jermaine spoke about his family, you can tell it’s coming from a genuine place. Everyone knows Michael is the talent but it’s cool they never forgot their roots.
Remember that is still his brother ❤ he will always love Michael no matter what.
It is apparent that Jermaine is wise and understood the unit. Even with their own individual success, the world definitely fight to break the family unit as it will always. Things evolve with time because time never stops and holds on to what matters most
The “King Of POP“ Michael Jackson Gone But Not Forgotten The Greatest Entertainer The World 🌎 Has Ever Seen R.I.P. 🙏🏾😢🎂🎤🎥🍿🔥
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE APPRECIATION THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM
MEMORABLE UNFORGETTABLE UNBELIEVABLE INCREDIBLE REMARKABLE PHENOMENAL PERFECT ⭐️
Yes, they started out as Jackson Five. They were brilliant. But Michael created and performed his own personal brilliance that was far and away better than any of his family could even imagine. To his family- deal with it!!!😅
He probably would have been alive if he stayed with his family all that allegations and media drama killed him.
He seems like such a kind person. His voice is soft and sweet. Very handsome as well. He seems to have a great attitude towards life. I still love their music.
Don't stop til you get enough...🤘🏿
Jermaine is probably the most underrated Jackson sibling imo, aside from Rebbie.
Randy to me is the most underrated
Marlon easily
Lo azotaba con un cable, lo trompeaba, era boxeador joe, lo traumo de todas las maneras posiibles, lo formo, inseguro, obsesivo , lo acomplejo para el resto de su vida...y este tipo quiere Que Michael lo comprendiera? En publico siempre agradecia su esfuerzo por formarlo en la musica, por dentro en soledad,..estaba tan dolido, tan lastimado, de saber que nunca lo abrazo, nunca dejo que lo llame papa, nunca lo felicitaba, abrazaba, besaba, ese joe era un monstruo, materialista!!!! Deja de defenderlo!!! Jeremaibe
@@reginaldsmith4076Randy was a hit maker He really could've pushed himself to be a Producer amd writer for anybody
@@BurdascoobstiYES.
Michael Jackson rest the only ONE king history forever ❤️💫👑
The jackson family all had star quality at different levels Michael just reached the highest level known to man .in any and all family there will be rivalry and competition when it’s that much talent .
First of all Jermaine is very talented. He doesn't get the credit he deserves because he's Michael Jackson brother totally unfair. He discovered and Produced Switch and Produced Whitney Houston's diamond debut album. Enough said. Give him his just do. Michael Jackson is probably the best entertainer that ever lived. Not many compares to that. !!!!?
Jermaine pushing that family message, very important for any successful person or people...😊
So many ppl don't KNOW Jermaine! He has a great catalog of absolute cuts! He's also a VERY handsome older man. If he were to get rid of that awful hairstyle, it would show! ❤
😂 Yes, that hairstyle and skin complexion. Looks too plastic. Awesome talent though. Definitely responsible for some great music in his own right.
Everything Jermaine said, I agree with. He was right on it. Divide and conquer is the industry game. They take all the money, you get all the pain.
The mistake MJ made was to allow the Jackals to pull him away from the family so they could use him to mint money for them. He would have remained under the wings of his father as manager with little support from outside and the brothers to watch his back. He opened up himself to dangerous people.
A great lesson to young people: don't be drawn away from family at whatever cost. When you fall or die, only your parents and close siblings will feel really pain.
That's fucking true
I agree with this honestly. He should've kept his family a little closer.
In theory that is true but the reality is his family had an agenda and milked him and thats why he did the victory tour was family pressure and wanting to please them especially his mother. Its a dicey situation as you do want to trust your family but when your the level of start MJ was people including family have an agenda and thats just facts. its easy for common people to see keep your family close when your not a megastar and megavalue attached to you.
His father used to bully him for his features and always talked about how skinny he was, he was scarred by that and you can see that by the way he looked by the end of his career, he was a handsome man with nothing wrong with him but he let them words creep into his consciousness, I wouldn’t have went back either
@@dezpoppin8380 Exactly. People love to talk about how you need to stay close to family. Sometimes your blood family treats you worse than anybody else. There is no obligation to stay close to toxic people just because you happen to be related. You have no control over what family you're born into nor how those people will treat you. I only wish that Michael could have found better people to surround himself with after distancing himself from his bio family. He needed a better "chosen family" and people who really understood him. I wish he had more people like Chris Tucker in his life.
I remember watching The Jackson 5, as a kid in rural North Carolina. My eyes and ears were glued to the television! That is exactly where it all began! However it began it began right! I kept up even to today, some 50+ years! The Jackson 5 were indeed a magical moment in time, and being from that era, I can say, they drove a nail in the heart of racism! I will never forget The Jackson 5, and growing up, growing old with them! 😊Hats off to the whole family! 🥰
Michael was the greatest version of his entire family put together. He learned from everything and used it but he definitely left his family when he didn’t need to
How beautiful is that! So much love, appreciation, and admiration speaking there! What a true bond!
O triste da vida deles,é que tiveram que ser adultos ainda sendo crianças. Cumprindo horários e trabalhando muito. O Michaeljj com 5 anos foi o mais afetado de todos.
Verdade e parece q os irmãos de Michael ainda defende o pai o Michael era o melhor de todos a li ele era a mina de ouro e sulgaram ele até o fim e se a mãe de Michael não tivece falado para o pai q ele sabia cantar e que era o melhor não o Michael não teria sofrido tanto e nem tinha tantos tralmas mas também não tínhamos o rei do pop
Michael is our master, as he got knowlege from many, he is the first inspiration for people like me, many are going to see, but Jermaine has all the reason, he got it, I really agree, Jermaine, I train with you ❤❤❤matter of time
As canções do Michael são eternas e com extrema qualidade. Saudades 🌟
Jermaine can talk that talk about being a family and having to stay close but sometimes you simply have to remove yourself from a toxic family unit. We don’t have the whole story.
So true...
Family is SUPPOSED to be forever but my own dad left us as kids for another family of his then came back only to drink himself to death...wtf!
Toxicity is subjective.
@@Peace-mp2hx No it's not. It can be clearly defined. It's not based on one person's view over another. Conditions have to be meet in order to say that something or someone or a situation is toxic.
Have of y’all wasn’t even born doing those jackson five days. Michael just gave into the Hollywood hype manipulation the situation once Michael saw that the industry and outside world was pumping him up he took that and ran with it. It’s ok to do your own thing. He didn’t have to treat his brothers like that cause for real Jermaine was the lead singer Jermaine has great songs , they had different style of music.Jermaine and Jackie was like a Marvin Gaye , Jackie Wilson grown folks music .only cause Michael was lil singing and dancing. The smallest always get more attention Michael let that industry Hollywood manipulation turn his back on his family, Michael turn his back on his brothers but it was his big brother Jermaine who got him out of the country paid for everything so his lil brother can have peace..No one was hating or jealous of Micheal y’all really believe Michael was perfect y’all act like Michael was a lil a&& boy he knew better, using that manipulation.
Its crazy to even try and say Jermaine was jealous of MJ . , I’ve read everything there is to know about the Jackson’s and it had nothing to do with Michael’s success . Ppl that’s not in the industry will never understand how this industry can tear ppl /family apart
Wow, what a beautiful video you put together. Thank you so much for showing Michael and the Jackson family such love and respect. I was not aware that Jermaine did so many interviews - wow, I missed so many! What Jermaine said made absolute sense.
That hit home with me...
My grandmother had an old ringer style washing machine, I remember my cousin Ellen & I would dance to the rhythmic sound made by the washing machine.😊
0:02 Perfectionist!!! Yeah yeah we all virgos know. 😎😎
I appreciate all Jermaine’s responses to the questions about rivalry and so on being “we are family, we are brothers” well done sir. Hollywood always wants to tear down and trash everything.
Jermaine LOVES HIS ENTIRE FAMILY And THE JACKSONS LOVE ONE ANOTHER… PERIOD❤
Couldnt have put any better Jermaine. You said it all bro.
Michael made the Jackson 5....if not for his talent at an early age, Jackson 5 is no different from other singing groups!
totally agreed
Joe is the differemce
@@miszjackson7957No, Michael is the difference.
@@clairedaniels1877 Joe taught Michael discipline.
Michael was the engineer in this family. His brothers were the followers. Thank you all for sharing your talents and sharing your life with the world.
We love all of you. Of course, MJ is my favorite.
You can tell that all of the jackson’s have an unspoken love and bond. Jermaine never talked bad about michael and vice versa. They were family at the end of the day no matter what
This Jackson 5 guy is making sense . Do not forget the days of little beginning. There is always one person in a family that tries to keep the bound of unity from outside influence, especially when success in-roads. Unity is the key. Without it, everything will go almost spontaneous.
Woow it means Tito started eveything from the beginning just by playin’ his father’s guitar 😃😃
MJ is the incarnation of music & dance. A natural phenomenon.
This is true Michael, was a one of a kind person he was weird and hard to understand but he was bad probably the greatest entertainer to ever live..
Probably? He Was Lol
All of them are legends in their own persona.. no need for jealousy. Each & every one of them are influential. Michael is gone now, the brothers are still carrying the legacy to all that still appreciate them. Including myself. My first concert was J5 back in 73. I hope to meet them soon....
Listening to him I see why Michael Jackson favoured Jermaine he was profound he knew what his brother would go through and respected even his terrible Father that what he did came from love and most importantly accepted the days they suffered as being special I never knew this about him wish Michael Jackson listened more to his brother he would avoided a lot of mayhem.
I'm happy that Jermaine is a supportive brother and I know that if a bunch of stuff went on between him and Michael it wouldn't matter because at the end of the day they always had love for one another. Jermaine is a good brother and I'm happy that Michael had him.
Luv how Jermaine spoke in this interview
I love them ...the Jacksons. They were in our house on the 'record player', loud and in effect every day (when my parents would go to work), we would jam out with them! Their songs and style were mimicked in talent shows and their songs were always being sung on the school bus, and everybody picked a favorite and wanted to be just like him (or her...with Janet) I was no exception. On dreamy summer nights me and my sisters would lay across the bed and listen to them and talk about which one was the cutest, or could sing the best. Our walls and notebooks always had a picture of them. We sang along, practiced harmony, and today it still is a factor when I sing.
We picked and laughed and sang along, and got quiet and attentive when the ballads were knocked out. We felt like they really liked us and cared about us as fans....
Well, we are all grown now. Like them, our brother and our father (and unlike them, our mother) are transcended, so we are three less. They are fortunate to still have their mother in their grown years.....But we still love them very much...even if they don't know it....and can't in any way return that same feeling. its okay...because, at any time I can go to my media of choice and pull them up and reminisce. The only thing I wish I would have done is have more videos of my brother, who is now gone, and my own folks. I have one of David, that I listen to when I want to hear his voice. It must be fantastic to be able to hear them (Michael, and Joe) after they are now gone. Families matter.... and no publicity or no people can pull them apart or replace what they have for each other.
Great video! What Joe and Katherine created was one of a kind! 🎉 I have so much respect for the entire Jackson family. Thank you Jermaine for not letting Hollywood or anyone else sway you or distort the truth! Such talent, hard work and grace. Michael, Jermaine, Janet and the Jackson 5 are pure magic! 🎶 And family is everything.
I loved him so much 💝. I've been having a hard time living without him. The best, no more since. I love the Jacksons. Michael was our baby boy out there. Our gift, from the Most High, our wonder of the world ❤️ and our baby boy. He completed his mission and went back to Paradise. Amen MJ GOD got you.
He's right about the jackson 5 setting the foundation for Micheal an Janet's careers
Jermaine I think hurt the most when Michael passed away I believe Jermaine when he says no he was not and still not Jealous at all
And There are fans who even argue, talk shit about Michael's family...What these idiots dont realize is they are family, no matter what. They know who is who and who they really are behind the cameras. As he said...i agree 100%: If it wasnt for their parents, there wouldn't be the jackson 5 and consequently neither MJ and Janet's solo careers. The chances this happen would be remote.
Thank you for actually being a sensible, reasonable, logical fan!!! Those are really rare to find these days. I really hate how people trash on MJ’s family, just to uplift MJ. It’s so pathetic. And as much as I really dislike how Joe treated his children, I completely agree that he is the reason why MJ and Janet had such successful careers.
@@awm4359 Thank you 🙂. These idiots are so blinded kissing MJ's as.s that they dont realize he wouldn't b who he was without the parents which doesnt mean i agree How Joe treated them. At least Jermaine acknowlegde them. If It wasn't for both parents, they probably would end up growing up to live a mediocre life in Gary, in poverty and lack of oportunity.
@@elektriceyes_giza84YES!!! Couldn’t agree more. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@keithagasa9940 Right, but still got to be the biggest superstar. It would be worse if he grew up to be broke or a criminal. Many ppl out there had traumatic childhood the only difference is they arent famous and didnt have the same oportunity.
Jermaine is a lovely person. What you see is what you get ☺️ I remember when he visited my home town in the 00’s and there was only a few of us ready to greet him, he was just as sweet and gentle then. I was so sad not to of ever met Michael as he was my absolute fave 🥰
Have you read Margaret Maldonado's book?
So many beautiful memories to their music. ❤❤❤
The FIRST half of these interviews were the BEST parts !
If Michael had listen to his brother’s message of the family sticking together. I believe he would be alive today.
I think there is more to it than that. Staying wasn't the right thing for him, he was right to become a solo artist. Jackson 5 wouldn't have made what he made. but addressing the hurts, jealousy, and pride and then reconciling would have been good for him and them. As a person who had the same family dynamic when I was young as they did, family members change and sometimes you have to distance yourself to be in a better place. Otherwise they'll take you down. I think what is sad is that he felt he had to do that.
