Okay, today a swedish insider from Jermaine Jackson's camp posted a few threads over at www.mjj.se . He claims to have insight in JJ's business and people, and he has a lot of new info.
This is a rough translation of his first post (in swedish here for those who wanna read it for yourself http://www.mjj.se/index.php?showtopic=2162 )
Jermaine, despite his rare talent as a singer and stage personality, has spent a whole life in the shadow of Michael. He has supported his more than lucky brother in the darkest of times. Will Michael return Jermaine's support, now that he has the chance?
The O2 conserts originally came from a 3-4 year old idea in which Jermaine was instrumental to the creation of.
It's no secret that Jermaine - who's always been fighting for the best of the brothers, and never put himself first - for a long time has nurtured a dream to see Jackson 5 reunited on stage, in all their glory. With Michael. (Jermaine is of course the lead singer, but Michael would still have a large role in the stage show.)
According to my sources in the Jermaine-camp, the reason why the 'This Is It' concept have taken so long to realise is because of the discussions of what role Jermaine would have in the concerts.
While the market has had it's say, and the cultural interesses has been cut back, Michael has step by step agreed to more and more compromises regarding the stage show. He was already on an early stage convinced that it would be more economic for him to perform on his own, and not with his brothers. Since then Michael has been torn between economic interests and the large debt of gratitude that he own Jermaine, who's thought him so much artistically and also had a central role in bringing out the concert theme in London.
But it's not too late yet.
Michael still has the chance to make the artistically - and morally - right choice, to incorporate Jermaine in the stage show.
It could mean about six to eight duets per concert.
It could mean that Jermaine get's his own set at the beginning of each concert.
The only thing Michael has to do is to decide what is more important; another 0 at the end of his bank account, or the love and care of his brother.
When someone later in the thread asked the OP for sources, he answered that he can't say who he gets his information from, since people in both the media- and the music industry can get in a lot of trouble if this leak is traced.
He also said that all this info can be found on all the large Jermaine Jackson fanboards.
This Jermaine-fan is also selling t-shirts. Just take a look at some of the designs over at http://www.mjj.se/index.php?showtopic=2163

I can't find any JJ fansite by googling.
