Re: The Jacksons exclusive interview 2013 about MJ death...

may be thats why he change his last name, to take on a second wife. Bigamy is unlawful in the US..Jermaine.
 
"There wouldn't have been no Janet – there wouldn't have been no Michael – without the Jackson 5,"

Sorry Marlon, but I think it's the opposite. Without Michael there wouldn't be the Jackson 5. Maybe it would, but not with the same success.

"Jermaine revealing that his wife has given him permission to take another wife."

And since when does he need permission to do that?
 
Re: The Jacksons exclusive interview 2013 about MJ death...

This is appalling! Will they ever stop with this stupid sense of entitlement?

Actually take this from a Muslim person like me - the above comment is so offensive as well.

I don't know much about Muslims, could you please elaborate? Jermaine makes it sound like it's the most natural thing in the world, so I didn't know it was seen in a bad way by Muslims.

Oh that is one of Jermaine the Delusional One 's lies.

Do you honestly think, Michael who worked best of the best out there, would go to studio with brothers?
Did you see what brothers did in the studio while they were filming Dynasty thingy?
Nothing, just messing.
Brothers needs someone, who tells them what to do and how to do it. Michael wasn't going to take that role again with them.

Of course not, Michael said that in a statement (if I'm not mistaken) in 2007. He definitely wasn't interested to work with his brothers anymore. I agree with you, they don't have the initiative to do something for themselves. I think I just watched 2 episodes from their boring reality show but they even weren't able to create a coreography for themselves, they needed a personal coreographer.

Every time I think, Jermaine couldn't do a thing that makes me disrespect him even more, I'm wrong every time and makes me think strongly Michael raised himself because he never displayed hateful, racist comments in public, nor showed such level of stupidity!

I've read Muslims are permitted to have 7 wives if they're able to support them financially.
 
Re: The Jacksons exclusive interview 2013 about MJ death...

Well, regardless to all that, the Jacksons pain and grief are real.
Seeing that makes me sad.

Thanks for the video Ashtanga.

I've often wondered Jermaine and other repeating without J5, there wouldn't be MJ or Janet?
What is J5?
Jacksons were trying to made it before MJ was old enough to join in and they got absolutely nowhere until MJ joined in.
After MJ joined the group, they started getting gigs. I would turn it the other way round and say, without MJ there wouldn't be J5.



Btw, Jermaine's latest:

Jermaine Jackson: We miss Michael
by: Jermaine Jackson, as told to Mel Evans
From: Sunday Magazine
February 24, 2013 12:00am


Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine is excited to be coming back to Australia.
LIVING my life as a member of the Jackson family has been fun, really.
We're thankful to God for being given this blessing. We were raised to be aware of the less fortunate people in this world, and that's what inspired us to try to bring some awareness of them through our music. That's why we wrote the songs we did and why Michael wrote the type of songs he did.

I don't regret starting performing at such a young age. It was a wonderful time. We were very blessed to have good people around us - such as the whole Motown machine - who really looked after us in the early '70s. And being in The Jackson 5 was the platform that launched all of our individual careers as well.

We still found time to be kids, even when we were touring the world. When I think of Michael then, what I remember most is all the clowning around and practical jokes.

Touring Australia in 1973 was such an adventure. We went all over the place and when we weren't performing, we were doing things like going into the outback, where we spent time with Aboriginal people and learnt how to throw a boomerang. I've been back since, but I'm looking forward to returning with my brothers.

It's not hard living your life under a microscope. Fame became part of our lives when we were young, so it's been easy to live our lives in the public eye. We've always been ourselves and always been respectful to each other and to others, so there's nothing we wouldn't want the public to know about.

I wrote my book, You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brother's Eyes, because I wanted to set the record straight. There have been so many books written about Michael that weren't accurate or the truth, I wanted to tell my side of the story, which is the real story because I'm from the Jackson family and we lived through it.

It was very important for me to let people know the truth. Michael deserves a true documentation of his life, and I decided writing a book would ensure that happened. And it was a cathartic thing for me to do, too - I cried, as well as laughed, a lot. It was very emotional.

Touring again as The Jacksons has been healing for us. The first time Tito, Marlon, Jackie and I performed together without Michael was hard because we feel his presence so much and we miss him. We're still mourning his passing, but we felt it would be good to go out and play the music and make people happy, and at the same time, it's making us happy as well. He'd want us to do this.

Before starting The Unity Tour last year, we hadn't performed together as The Jacksons for more than two decades. But there's so much musical history there - we're performing 40 years of music. A bit of The Jackson 5, Michael's music and my music. We mix it up and have a lot of fun onstage.

I'm the best father that walks the Earth. I have seven kids and I could probably write a parenting manual - I'm really good! The secret is to become a child yourself; to be a good parent, you have to communicate on their level. I don't need to be strict with them.
:bugeyed
I'd like to be remembered as someone who cared about people. [My family] loves to perform and loves making people smile, but at the same time, we want our music to open the hearts of people and maybe make them more considerate about those less fortunate than themselves.

That article from Andrew S. Hinkinson ^^ I would like to see him take the same form of outrage & stance when words like P---, M---, J---, weird, strange, bizarre, is used to refer to Michael Jackson. Don't get me wrong I agree with him standing up and decrying what Jermaine called these people, but he cannot decry discrimination/injustice simple because it is against his group^^. Injustice & discrimination are universal words and should be treated as such. In the same way he makes reference to Jermaine not liking it if people use the word c--n, etc., he should apply that analysis to himself & decry the labels used against anyone or group, including Michael.

This is the problem I have with people. We tend to focus on bad things that affect us, our group, our family, but say nothing or don't care, when the same bad things happen to others. It is only when you deal with discrimination/injustice in a universal way & not peace meal that we will see lasting change among all people. It is hypocritical to call out Jermaine when he uses discriminating/offensive/unjust labels about people who like same sex relationships, while at the same time being indifferent about reporters who use discriminating/offensive/unjust labels for Michael or any other person in public life.

Um, hmmm. Actually I don't entirely agree, not in this instance.

This is a blog about something that he read in his newspaper, if he were to turn it into a blog about all the other issues it would be a huge blog and probably by it's size would lose impact on many of the issues.

We all write things based on our own perspective, we do it here all the time, by your argument whenever we talk about how unfairly Michael is treated in the press we should also address all the other celebrities who have been mistreated.

Do you see what I mean? We could be accused of the same thing, if we fight Michaels corner on a matter, are Prince's (for eg) fans going to accuse us of only caring about what effects our idol?

And look at Marlon. LOL! Now was he or was he not on one of those entertainment programs CRYING about how he could not get in touch with his mother. CRYING ON CAMERA! But now it's just kids having fun tweeting. Yeah, alright.
Click to expand...


Exactly. This is one of the things that really bothers me about the Jacksons. They seem to forget past public statements that they have made when they talk about the same subjects again. Their stories always change. That's why I can't take them seriously. I actually felt bad for Marlon when he was crying on TV last summer about not knowing what was going on with his mother. So I can't understand why he's trying to downplay that mess now.

Personally, I find myself getting more and more disgusted by the Jacksons. And I hate feeling that way about them. I liked these people for almost my entire life up until the last few years. And it's a real letdown for me to hear and see them acting like this. I don't like that they are so willing to help the media throw Michael under the bus (again). And I also don't like how they try to take credit for Michael's (and Janet's) success either. I think Michael and Janet worked more than any of them to get where they got when they became adults. Yes. Michael started out with his brothers as part of a group. But in my opinion, they owe more to him than he ever owed to them for his success or theirs. The way the Jacksons have behaved since Michael died has been appalling to me. I've given up trying to understand them. It's a big waste of time for me.

I do believe the brothers felt the pain and grief of losing a sibling, particularly Jackie who is not only as soft spoken as MJ was, but also seems to possess some of his sensitivity. Jackie has often moved me when he talked about MJ. But Jermsun dropping to his knee to comfort him was part pr IMO. He's trying to do damage control in showing how much the family cares for one another after the granny napping.

Too bad we saw first hand his callous, unfeeling regard for his brother's three children. That spoke true volumes of how much he genuinely cares about at least PPB. It's quite annoying that he insults my intelligence and says the children were just playing. Was the court playing too when they changed the guardianship arrangement?

He really should just shut up.

I didn't say he should turn it into a blog about other things. I said he should use that same outrage to decry unjust/discriminating labels overall. All reporters/media should. If he read about that in his paper, I am sure he read about other unjust acts in his paper as well. Where are his comments about those acts. Unless you want to tell me that he made a blog specifically for the article he read in the paper? Does he have a history on attacking discrimination in general, or did he pick on this f------ thing by Jermaine?

^^People cannot say the same about us because we are not reporters or media people. Our intent is not to bring facts/stories to the public which is the definition of the media. We have a specific forum that says Michael Jackson. If he had a forum that says Gay Rights or something to that nature, then I would expect him to talk about Gay issues. So, Prince fans can't say anything about us because they are in a forum that says Prince, and I am sure Prince fans hate certain things people do to prince & when they see other people doing the same thing they hate, a bell rings in their heads & they comment about it to their family/friends/or people doing it. They do not have the same situation as this guy. The job I do, I do for everyone. If I am on a bus & a see someone who has the conditions that I work with, I would try to talk to them or the parent. I do not say: oh no the person is Asian, or poor, or not from my group & act indifferent.

Additionally I decry those who persecute Michael in the media, and you can bet that when I am in people's houses & I see them listening to the tv where the media is bashing some person or a celeb, who I do not even know, I speak out about it. This usually make the people feel as though they are condoning it & they then begin to denounce whatever the talking head is saying. I never say, "Oh they are not talking about Michael so I do not have to do anything."

The thing is people should always act as though they are responsible for the happiness of their brother, so yes denounce Jermaine's actions but also denounce the same negative labels said/printed by others in the papers as well. So Lastear I understand what you are saying, but I am not buying it.

Anyway this guy responded to me & I had to basically tell him the same thing.

Gerry I agree with you. I think the brothers really miss Michael. However, I think they also want to make as much money as possible & know that by using his name they will get more cash, so they use his name & music. I think they also wanted him to tour with them, & felt mother would make it happen, so they keep telling people he was going to tour with them or they were going to be at the O2. I think they really know they are using Michael & are lying, but they decided on stories to tell the public so they would not seem so greedy, unfeeling, & horrible. Unfortunately, they did not think about consistency. I think they also feel that Michael should have left his money to them. I think they knew he did not, but they made a plan to make it seem that there was a fraud hoping a court would find some issue to have the will overturned. Basically, I do not think they are delusional at all. I don't think they believe what Michael has is really theirs, but since they want it they make up all these stories about what Michael would have wanted or what he was going to do, to feed the public to justify their actions. In a nutshell, I just think this is a bunch of people who want what Michal has & make up lies purposely.

Petrarose, With the greatest respect I really don't understand and I think it's a long shot to expect people who write a blog about a certain subject to include all other related subjects within it.

His web page is a real mixed bag, this blog is included amongst poems and another blog about the UK credit rating, so given the diversity of his page this piece does fit. Okay, so he read the guardian article and was personally offended, so he wrote about it, I don't see how there is anything wrong in that, it's just human nature.

Yes you are right that obviously this is a MJ fan club, fair comment, but there are many people around the fan community who only write blogs about Michael, because he important to them.

He does this every time, emphasising what a great fun idyllic childhood they all had. It's getting beyond a joke now - his directly contradicting mj's entire meme of a lost childhood, even in his last days whilst under the benzo drugs and taped by murray mj was going on about his pain whilst a child. It is so offensive and deceitful to use the fact that mj's not here to rewrite his experience like that and deny it.

It's not hard living your life under a microscope. Fame became part of our lives when we were young, so it's been easy to live our lives in the public eye.
Click to expand...

That guardian reporter was so right. It was relatively easy for jerms and co, mj was the firewall who deflected all the ish that he and his brothers did. He has not a clue about the dangers of fame, probably just sees it as an opportunity to get freebies. No doubt this is a view shared by all the family so ppb have zero chance of being offered any real guidance on its perils.

Re: The Jacksons exclusive interview 2013 about MJ death...

The sad thing is how much Jermaine wants to be like Michael. He wants all the attention and love that Michael had. The other brothers are a little more realistic knowing that they can't be like Michael.

I remember at the memorial that they all looked sad and heartbroken but since then to be honest I really don't know how they feel about Michael for real. That whole thing last summer with katherine and the kids was disgusting. If Michael saw how his kids were treated by Randy and company he would never speak to them again. He would have been so angry. I doubt Michael's kids will ever forget what happened.

I want to believe that the Jacksons love and miss Michael. They are his family but they things they say and do makes it difficult. You wonder why they do it and what is wrong with them. I just don't understand them.

Re: The Jacksons exclusive interview 2013 about MJ death...

^^Actually I find the best dad comment is the best. He needs an award for that statement. That's typical Jermaine--saying lies when any person can simple go on the internet and see all his legal problems as a dad/husband/provider. He still thinks no one knows Michael paid for everything.

I agree. They're purposeful in their comments, saying whatever best serves their cause or position at the moment. The delusional part comes in with them deluding themselves into believing that the public at large buys whatever comes out of their mouth, or they'd be at least half way consistent. It's understandable they dismiss press spin, but they seem to think we believe THEIR spin.

And I could be wrong, but it seems Jermaine has become more arrogant. Not sure because I never paid much attention to him. Perhaps he's always been this arrogant. But it seems the renewed interest and attention he's been getting since June 25, 2009, has bolstered his ego into thinking people GENUINELY care about him one way or the other, and that's an ENORMOUS delusion.
 
Re: The Jacksons exclusive interview 2013 about MJ death...

Jacksons: Michael persecuted like Jesus


Los Angeles - The Jacksons believe their brother Michael Jacksonwas persecuted like Jesus.
The group - brothers Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Jermaine - think the late King of Pop's life mirrored the Biblical figure's own existence in many ways because of the effect he had on people and the way his life was destroyed.

Asked if Michael was a pop messiah, Jackie said: ''I wouldn't say that. No one's bigger than God or Jesus.

"But everywhere Michael went, every country, when he left the airport people would line up on the freeway just to get a glimpse of him.''

Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, Jermaine added: ''God blessed him because he knew what Michael was going to do with his talent. He was a voice for children who were starving, and he brought the world sing like We Are The World, Heal The World and Man In The Mirror.

"Everything he did was for the betterment of mankind.

''You mentioned Jesus. Look what he did when he walked the Earth. He did all those miracles and they still found a way to nail him up on that cross.''

The four brothers went on to allege Dr Conrad Murray - who is currently serving jail time for involuntary manslaughter for his part in Michael's death from Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - was a stooge of his record company Sony and they believe the label deliberately orchestrated his downfall by planting allegations of child molestation in the media.

The Thriller singer bought a 50% stake in Sony/ATV in 1985 and his siblings have a ''conspiracy theory'' that the label wanted to diminish his popularity and power to wrestle control of the valuable catalogue of songs back from Michael.

Jermaine accusingly said: ''Bottom line? They killed him. The doctor was just a figure in a bigger hand.''

The police searched Michael's home on 18 November 2003 for evidence of child abuse, on the same day his Number Ones compilation album was released, an action the Motown legends believe was a deliberate attempt to sabotage his career.

Jermaine added: ''It was the biggest album he ever could have had, probably bigger than Thriller.

"And they put this crap out about him, on the day of its release?

"That's no coincidence.''

Interesting interview with brothers.
I wonder if they are reading here s @ 1:07 Jackie interrupts Jermaine's blabbering and says that they have to be careful what they say as there is a case coming up in april and they don't want to jeopardise it by saying something

 
Re: The Jacksons exclusive interview 2013 about MJ death...

You mean what is left of their court case in April
 
Re: The Jacksons exclusive interview 2013 about MJ death...

^^ Yeah, that's what I meant.
Should be interesting to see what they are going to be saying if they lose they case.
Something like Sony paid the judge/jurors/.........

Yeah, all of them seems to get new lease of life after Michael passed away. They find it so easy to speak/lie about Michael when he is not here.
Btw, after watching the last few of their interviews, Marlon seems to be very cocky, not in a funny way.
