I just saw that janet tweeted that Dealz has a new song featuring Jackie & Jermaine

Hey u guys! Check out my nephew @OfficialDealz's new song That's How I Feel http://bit.ly/ha7mIE See u 2nite in Chicago!

here's a preview, it sounds nice

How old is Dealz?

Another family member who's career just never caught on. Is there a taboo in the industry when it comes to next generation Jackson family members?

Dealz' is gonna turn 34 in June.. He's been struggling for nearly a decade I've been hearing about him, Austin and Genevieve since the trial days ( about him even pre trial around 03-04).. it's really shame that they can't seem to get a hold. I can say that at least Austin's somewhat talented.
 
dealz is jackie's son...and i actually like the song surprisingly!

Thanks twinks!

Man, 34 is a bit late for a rapper to introduce himself to the game. In my opinion, rapper's have a "shelf-life," with the exception of maybe Jay-Z and Eminem.

I remember when Nelly and Ja-Rule were hot. Now they can both do a segment of: Where Are They Now. And Juvenile. I was right there in the mix, "Backing My Thing Up." LOL!
 
Sincerely love this snippet. Sounds very 90'ish and the background music is awesome. I like Jermaine's vocal contribution too. Nice.
 
Not my thing but I like this song better then that other song Genieve and Omer were singing the other day, but of all of them Austin has the most potential.

I can't wait to hear that one of the Jackson kids became a Lawyer or Doctor or Author. Seems they all want to be in show buisness and will try to the bitter end.

The reason they want to be in the business is because it's something they grew up around. It's the same reason why people whose parents are doctors and lawyers want to take on the same profession. The same thing goes for people who are actors, actresses, athletes kids take take after them, especially if they have been blessed with the same talent.

The song is nice and I like jermaine backround vocals

No the reason they want to be in showbiz is that they're all dreaming of being the next Michael Jackson of the family, some of them have no talent at all, Genevieve being one of them, the woman needs to be encouraged to take up further studies. Instead of roaming around and wasting time it's obvious that singing will not earn her the money she desires - or money at all-.
She is 21 years old and will be turning 22 within the course of this year, a grown woman, she should be using some common sense. Also she isn't too old to go and pursue a real career as opposed to the her elder cousins
The point with them is, all of them seem to want the big bucks, huge mansions, and live the superstar lifestyle, well newsflash to them it's not something ALL of them are meant to achieve, I'll be surprised if even one out of them makes it, talentwise it should be Austin, he at least is talented, but has been struggling for at least 7 years too. They want the easy way out, getting into show business making big bucks with minimal effort. That's not how it works. The reason why all of them seem to be obsessed with showbiz is probably because they are neither ready nor willing to work their butts off for a college degree, which surely requires more effort than sleeping in, eating, going to the gym, and wasting time at a recording studio.
If you try to get into the business for as long as Dealz, Genevieve and even Austin' have been trying albeit being 'born into it' as you say, after so many years maybe just maybe show business is not for them.
They do have an advantage from random people trying to be singers/dancers/actresses/rappers whatever, and that is that they're related to Michael, and despite this advantage none of them was/is able to hit it big, I think some of them should seriously reconsider moving on. They won't be able to live on the pockets of Michael Jackson for the rest of their lives, nor will they be able to raise their future children on the pockets of MJ. Also their respective parents do not seem to have the resources so that they could afford play 'popstar' all their lives. They should be getting a degree,and/ or a 'hands on job', and be grateful that they were able to experience this kind of lifestyle for so long.
Some things are just not meant to be no matter what people tell you, period.
And before you even try to start, NO this is not me the 'meanie' speaking this is common sense speaking

1st don't even come at with some bs like " before you start." If you thought it would be a problem, you should have never even responded to my post. Nobody said you had to respond to me, you could have kept your opinion to yourself.
Do you know that it takes many people a long time to break into the industry?? It is not an easy thing to do. Being a Jackson will only get you so far, it can help you get into the door but after that you are on your own just like everybody else. I'm sure deep down inside they all want careers as big as their parents/aunts/uncles, heck anybody in the industry would want that kind of success but it doesn't always happen that way. N im sure they know that the chances of that happening are slim. If it is something you enjoy doing then go for it, it doesn't hurt to tryand that goes for everybody. All a degree really does is teach you how to work for someone else and how to accumliate alot of debt.(yes, I an say that. I am a degree seeking student myself) Degrees aren't "end all be all". There are many people who get a degree and will not ever see the money of people that don't get degrees. I feel like if they can, they should get into the industry, not necessarily in front of the camera, but behind the scenes because there is still money to be made. There are many talented people who struggle to make it for whatever reason and there are many people who aren't very talented who make it big. They just have to surround themselves with the right people and it could happen.

With respect, I don't think this is the right attitude to approach show business and it certainly won't get you far. You have to have at least some kind of artistic talent to have a long-lasting career in showbizz, just surrounding yourself with the right people is not enough. There are some who argue that Britney, Janet and Madonna are mediocre singers, but they do have talent (whether it be dancing, songwriting, stage presence, etc.) otherwise they wouldn't have lasted this long. The idea that you don't need any talent to succeed in showbizz is a myth. Sure, you can have one or two hits that way but you won't be able to make a career out of it. Genevieve is one of those people who just have no artistic talent at all. Poor voice, average looks, no stage presence and bad songs. And I'm not saying this to bash her, I'm sure she's a nice girl and all, but some things just aren't meant to be. Just because your last name happens to be Jackson doesn't mean that you are destined to be an artist. You either have it or you don't. I feel bad for her in a way because she is throwing her life away chasing a dream that will never come true. If I were her parent, I would be honest with her and encourage her to get an education because it will give her a lot of opportunities in the future and if she really insists on being a singer, she can still pursue that and go to college at the same time like most people do. I don't agree with you that college degrees only teach you to work for someone else and accumulate debt. At least where I'm from, students get a study reimbursement that is far greater than their tuition fees (reimbursement is between 250-500 euros a month depending on your parents' income, tuition is max. 133 euros a month) and I assume there is something similar in the US or wherever Genevieve could end up studying, so that's no excuse. Maybe she won't be able to go to one of the prestigious private universities like Harvard or Yale but who cares? Besides, I'm sure her aunt Janet could chip in on her tuition fees if necessary. And college degrees provide a great opportunity to start your own business (depending on your studies) but even if you end up working for somebody else, does it matter? It's not like artists are independent either. To the contrary, actually.

Anyway, what I said about Genevieve applies to "Dealz" as well. While I do think he's a talented rapper (as far as I can judge, rap isn't really my kind of genre) he is already 34 and like somebody else said, that is just too old to introduce yourself as a rapper. Most rappers become famous when they are in their late teens/early twenties and the public that buys their records is also mostly from that age bracket. I'm not sure how a 34-year-old man (and one who grew up relatively rich at that) will be able to connect with his target audience.

did never said anything about nt having talent to make it in the industry. In the industry you do have to surround yourself with the right people. I'm sure there are people that are more talented than Brittney, Madonna and Janet but unlike them they didn't surround themselves with the right people. If Genevive had the money put into her looks that alot of the other women get she will look just as good as them. Money helps every looks better. Honestly I don't think she is that talented but she could do something entertainment wise. To me she has a likeable personality and I could see er kinda like a tv host or something. I didn't necessary say they had to e in front but they can work behind the cameras too.

As far as education goes, in America, what I said is true. The tuition on average is atleast $7600(for public) and $27,000(for private) or greater. Thats for instate tuition, out of state it's much more than that.(in state and out of state is determined by the state in which you graduate from ugh school, well, in most cases) There is no reimbursement except for the refund check you get from the left over money after your tuition, fees, books, etc are paid for. N usually that money that students borrowed extra from a loan or extra money from scholarships. Books aren't cheap either. Per semester you spend $500 on books. Then housing can be expensive depending on where the college is located. Student loan debt is a problem in America. Students in America go into SOOOOOOO much debt going to college that's it's crazy. There are also scholarships based on merit(grades or the field you want to pursue), need based(parents income. N usually you have to be damn near dirt poor), also minority scholarships. N the college that most students attend 4year institutions, you do always wind up working for someone else and you don't make alot of money doing it either. Unless you are a doctor, lawyer, or some other kind of professional, you don't make much money. Especially after coming out of college accumulating all of that debt. Music artist work for people but didn't go to college and they collect high 6 and 7 figure checks. Most college grads won't ever see that kind of money. I do agree that deals is old to be starting a rap career but like I said in my 1 post, they can do behind the scenes work and still make alot of money.

SORRY FOR THE LONG RANT ABOUT SCHOOL :)

Exaclty, she could join her brothers at some Community College the tuition there is not high (do u even have to pay for tuition there?) or she could work on getting a scholarship just like her half sister Stevanna did, girl's got the brains she's got a full scholarship at Harvard.

Those cases are very rare and it would be foolish to bet on that rather than getting an education. Again, if she were my child I would never encourage her to drop out of school to pursue a music career unless she was insanely talented, which Genevieve obviously isn't. It's just irresponsible. You say you see could see her becoming a TV host, well there are millions of girls out there who have the same dream and only very few of them ever make it. Unless she gets a college degree in the entertainment field, her chances of succeeding in finding a job behind the cameras or becoming a host are minimal. These people are professionals too, they have studied their craft to get where they are. You can't just drop out of school and live with your grandma and expect to get a well-paid job in showbizz just because your last name is Jackson. It doesn't work that way.

I didn't know studying in America was so expensive. Still, there are millions of students who manage it so I'm sure she can do it too. Maybe she could get a part-time job to help pay her bills like most students do. And like I said, if it's really necessary I'm sure one of her aunts/uncles can chip in as well.
 
No nonsense is replying to someone then saying "And before you even try to start, NO this is not me the 'meanie' speaking this is common sense speaking". If you felt like it would be a problem replying to me, then don't do it.

Then you go and say this:
I'm not even gonna dignify your nonsense with a mature response as I see there is no point in talking to you have a nice day
only to come back and reply to me again.... This is a message board I'm not gonna hold a grudge against you because we dont agree on everything. I know that when I make a statement, I open myself up for replies from people who don't see things the way I see them. If you have something to say then say it, I'm not gonna get mad at you because you replied to me :)

Exaclty, she could join her brothers at some Community College the tuition there is not high (do u even have to pay for tuition there?) or she could work on getting a scholarship just like her half sister Stevanna did, girl's got the brains she's got a full scholarship at Harvard.
At community colleges there is tuition which is cheaper than a 4year university. Community colleges don't offer bachelor degrees only associate degrees. On one and it's good to get your core classes out the way at a community college because it cheaper but it isn't always good because you have to find a college who will accept those credits when you transfer. Scholarships aren't always easy to get. Genevive could fall under the minority umbrella but then she is considered upper class and that would take alot of money away. When you go to a top school like Havard, Yale or Princeton or any top private school like that.. 1) you're are the "creme del a creme". There is alot of aid for people who have top grades like that 2) most people who go to havard either go on a full ride like Steveanna or there parents are rich enough to pay for it. It's easy to say go to college but I'd rather her not go if she is gonna be wasting money that someone could use or that could go to something else.
 
No the reason they want to be in showbiz is that they're all dreaming of being the next Michael Jackson of the family, some of them have no talent at all, Genevieve being one of them, the woman needs to be encouraged to take up further studies. Instead of roaming around and wasting time it's obvious that singing will not earn her the money she desires - or money at all-.
She is 21 years old and will be turning 22 within the course of this year, a grown woman, she should be using some common sense. Also she isn't too old to go and pursue a real career as opposed to the her elder cousins
The point with them is, all of them seem to want the big bucks, huge mansions, and live the superstar lifestyle, well newsflash to them it's not something ALL of them are meant to achieve, I'll be surprised if even one out of them makes it, talentwise it should be Austin, he at least is talented, but has been struggling for at least 7 years too. They want the easy way out, getting into show business making big bucks with minimal effort. That's not how it works. The reason why all of them seem to be obsessed with showbiz is probably because they are neither ready nor willing to work their butts off for a college degree, which surely requires more effort than sleeping in, eating, going to the gym, and wasting time at a recording studio.
If you try to get into the business for as long as Dealz, Genevieve and even Austin' have been trying albeit being 'born into it' as you say, after so many years maybe just maybe show business is not for them.
They do have an advantage from random people trying to be singers/dancers/actresses/rappers whatever, and that is that they're related to Michael, and despite this advantage none of them was/is able to hit it big, I think some of them should seriously reconsider moving on. They won't be able to live on the pockets of Michael Jackson for the rest of their lives, nor will they be able to raise their future children on the pockets of MJ. Also their respective parents do not seem to have the resources so that they could afford play 'popstar' all their lives. They should be getting a degree,and/ or a 'hands on job', and be grateful that they were able to experience this kind of lifestyle for so long.
Some things are just not meant to be no matter what people tell you, period.
And before you even try to start, NO this is not me the 'meanie' speaking this is common sense speaking

We had an argument the last time on another thread, but f**k it, I agree with your post here.

Everything in life is rare... N getting an education isn't always the answer either. There are many people who don't have the proper degree who works behind the camera. N it s also about who you know and not what you know. There isn't any job that is just gonna fall into her lap, whether she gets a degree or not, but she does have to go out and hustle like the everybody else. It takes people many many years to break into the business. N I really can't judge because I don't know what she is doing behind the scenes. N most people who go to LA or New York with a dream are not insanely talented but still pursue their dreams. I say if by 25 nothing is coming of that dream, then give it up. My point is education isnt "end all be all". There are people who don't go to college and make more money than people who went and they don't have the accumulated debt. Most people go to college because that's "what you're supposed to do". There's nothing wrong with going to college if you have an idea what you want to do r know what you want to do. Many have to not only do the 1st four years but also another 2(masters degree), 3(juris doctorate or law degree), or 4(med school). Then in this economy, jos are scarce even for degree holding people. There is nothing wrong with going to college because that's how most of us will live a decent life... But it's not " end all be all" and that's my point.
 
N getting an education isn't always the answer either.

As a parent, I would have to say that you are WRONG!

And I believe any parent on this board would agree, that an education is the answer and something that we as parent's hope is the path our children decide to take.

Ain't nothing wrong with following your dream, up to a certain point. LOL!

At the same time, you can always fall back on that college education, as a PLAN B, per se. Because as we all know, show business is very, VERY fleeting. One minute they love you, the next minute you're a has-been and nobody wants to be bothered with you.

It happens dang near everyday!
 
Ok, this thread has gone way, way off topic. Can you guys please bring the thread back around to the song Dealz made? :flowers: Thanks!

I think everyone needs to read what I'm saying. Education is not ALWAYS the answer in life. I never said DON'T GET AN EDUCATION. I'm just saying it's not "end all be all" like everyone makes it out to be. Right now she is young and she can work toward her dream but of corse in a few years if things doesn't work out she needs a plan b. My thing is, I'm not gonna say "oh she just needs to go to school". School isn't for everybody. I'd rather her not waste her time, the institutions time, and waste someones money if she isn't gonna take it seriously. Honestly, I don't know why she isn't in school but shes only in her early 20's, she as a little bit of time to decide what she want to do in life.

Dealz appeared on Aliyah's video, but I haven't heard anything major since then. I don't think he just started his career as rapper, he was doing it for quite some times. But with MJJ manslaughter trial. The interest, and the focus is shifted to the Jackson family, and their offsprings. The Jackson's do encourage (not pushed) their kids to pursue singing career, and that is why they are in entertainment business. Genevieve started to sing at young age, and had vocal coach for years (I read Alejandra was her manager :rolleyes2:). Did it help her? No. I think, they do think being a Jackson, means all can sing on default. Because, when Oprah asked them what they do: "sing" was the only response.

Genetic is strange, talent gene is something that comes very rare. Not all children inherit that X factor from their parents.

Genevieve & Deals are cute, but I read they both have attitudes. Definitively didn't inherit humbleness, and shyness of the Jacksons. :nooo:
