Interesting revelation from Jermaine about his own vitiligo.

Thanks for posting the summaries, Ivy.

this shows ya what kind of a person jermaine is
 
Sorry Jerms not buying it. Until I see it for myself it is IMO nothing more then you trying to be Michael again
 
Ivy, are you learning things you didn't know? Interesting about Jermaines vitiligo . Anything that makes you go WOW?! I have been reading fast but don't you think a lot is stuff we already knew?

Thank you so much for "reading" the book to us!:wub:

That's how I feel as well. I mean there are little tidbits etc but most of it seems like I'm reading "Jacksons the American dream" movie.
 
If Jermain had Vitiligo why didn't he reveal it in one of the interviews that he did defending this way his brother from all those who accused him that he bleached his skin? Why reveal it now? Unfortunatelly, i can't believe Jermain (unless he provided proofs)
 
what's bothering me is that if he has vitiligo (not saying he's laying) why not come forward all those years when media was picking on Michael and say "hey leave him alone, i have it too!"
 
Chapter 10 - Seperate ways

Joe calls and tells Jermaine to come over without Hazel. Joe tells Jermaine to sign the contract with CBS. Jermaine doesn't sign. Jermaine says Michael was also tempted to sign with a promise with dinner with Fred Astaire - never happened. Jermaine stays with motown. Jacksons move to CBS without him. Jermaine wants to talk to Michael but doesn't do it because there was tension between him and the brothers.

Some time later Michael calls Gordy and asks Jermaine to join them at Westbury Music Fair. Jermaine goes but stays his ground doesn't go on stage. Disappointments. New morning Jermaine joins them at CBS to hear the plans for the future. Isn't impressed and leaves CBS. That's how they went their separate ways.

"There was a suggestion for years that I broke up the group by leaving, but I’ve never viewed it that way. I did not leave them: they left me. They left “home”—and I will believe that until the day I die."

Brothers doesn't talk to Jermaine for 6 months. Katherine kept in touch over the phone. Joe occasionally called him. Jermaine was depressed. Fans banish him. End of 1976 brothers starts talking to Jermaine again and Jermaine starts going to Hayvenhurst.

Tatum was Michael's first girlfriend, childhood sweetheart.

Drowning accident. (In the book the time is correct) Michael is in knee-deep water. (fits with Michael's MoonWalk version, contradicts Jermaine's Bio Channel close call version). Hard time breathing. Jermaine drives him to hospital. Michael is released after a few hours.

Being friends with Muhammed Ali. Michael learned about Islam from Ali.

One afternoon Jermaine sees Michael with bandages on his face. He fell down in the living room, broke his nose and then got a nose job. Says Michael kept his plastic surgeries private as well. Jermaine says he understood why he had surgery - his big nose made him miserable.

Michael thinking about going solo. All the brothers are either married or left home. Diana tells him to go solo. The Wiz. Michael becomes even closer to Diana.

"As for how intimate they truly became, this is where his music—nearly always semi-autobiographical—should speak for itself. Go listen to the wistful lyrics of “Remember The Time,” released in 1992. That song was, as Michael told me, written with Diana Ross in mind; the one great love that, as far as he was concerned, escaped him."

Michael feels isolated. Walking streets to find people to talk to. They didn't realize this until later. Quincy Jones, Off the Wall. Michael crying after the Grammy's because he didn't win album of the year. Wrote on bathroom mirror "thriller. 100 millions of sales. sell-out stadiums". Focus. Dedication. Determination. Perseverance. is the things that will take him there.

Chapter 11 - Moonwalking

80's. Michael's morning meditation, listen to a tape that says “YOU ARE CONFIDENT . . . You are strong . . . You are beautiful . . . You are the greatest.” as pep-talk to himself. Says Michael would be angry with him for sharing this because it was his private ritual.

Michael is becoming more and more famous. Fans breaking into Hayvenhurst to see him. Jermaine and Jackie receiving letters from girls saying they are the father of their children. Michael never slept with a fan. Delusional "Billie Jean" fans. Michael remodeling Hayvenhurst. Michael liked to sleep on floor - said it's good for his back. On his wall he had pictures of Ava Gardner, later Shirley Temple and last years Alicia Keys. Memory room in Hayvenhurst. One room with memorallibia and awards. One wall celebrity wall - pictures of Michael with other celebrities.
Michael recording his conversations. Going through other people's drawers.

Thriller. Obsessed with it. They hardly saw Michael in 1982. Thriller released, breaking records. Motown 25. Michael hesitant about Motown 25. Jermaine calls him, Michael says he doesn't want to do TV. Gordy convinces Michael. Michael accepts but also wants a solo spot for "Billie Jean". They didn't know what Michael prepared for his solo spot. Jacket is Katherine's. Before the show Michael was in Diana's dressing room, going through her luggage (Diana wasn't in the room). Jermaine is happy that they perform once again. Michael does his solo spot. Fred Astaire calls him next morning. Michael gets to meet him a few weeks later. Michael is happy. Michael kept Katherine's jacket that he used in Billie Jean, later gave it to Sammy Davis Jr for a wristwatch.

Chapter 12 - Animal Kingdom

Michael's love for animals. Buying a llama, the seller acts prejudiced. Michael puts him to his place. eventually buys it from other place. Other animals as well.

Bubbles. Michael acting parental with Bubbles. Bubbles listening to him. Bubbles not sleeping in his crib but in Michael's bed. Michael is sleeping on the floor. Bubbles had wonderful clothes. Jermaine sometimes dressed Jeremy in Bubbles clothes because they were better. Michael and Bubbles playing hide and seek. Bubbles is at Center for Great Apes. and according to Jermaine his behavior patterns show that he's his father's son. Latoya's visit with Bubbles after Michael's death.

Janet - how she surpised everyone. How she felt she was forced into music. Her success.

Thriller video. John Landis. How it was financed. Michael plays it to family at the theather in Hayvenhurst. Rebbie's son Austin was freaked out whenever Michael tried to get close to him - afraid that Michael would change into a werewolf in real life as well. Kingdom Hall not happy with the video. The disclaimer - Kingdom Hall insisted for it. John Landis wrote the disclaimer not Michael.

Michael feels conflicted between his passion for music and his religious beliefs. 2 elders started to shadow Michael make sure that he stray from God's path. Disguises for his pioneering work.

Joe is no longer adequate for managing the increased popularity, they hire other managers. Joe is hurt. He wasn't shut out completely , all brothers seeked advice from Joe. Ron Weisner and Demann. Michael later hired Dileo. Branca is hired.

"Those two were a double-act that gelled from day one. They reminded me of Abbott and Costello because Frank was the roly-poly guy with a thick cigar in his mouth, while Michael was the one doing all the crazy capers. Frank was a deflector and mouthpiece—a front man—but his know-how also brought a new slickness to all that Michael did. John Branca, a fair-haired New Yorker, had become my brother’s new attorney and he, too, would provide expert guidance in the years ahead. The Branca-Dileo combination was the professional operation Michael was happy to have surrounding him."

Jermaine is in talks with Clive Davis of Arista Records. Talks with Gordy. leaves Motown. Signs with Arista. Clive asks his opinion about this new artist - whitney houston. they started working together. There was attraction between Jermaine and Whitney.

Michael's song writing and colloborations. Michael sang on Jermaine's “Tell Me I’m Not Dreaming” song , first release with Arista. Sony didn't want Michael on a song that would coflict with his own releases. so that was only released as a B-side.

Talks of reunion tour, album.

Michael meeting McCarthy. Learning about music publishing. Say say say. Neverland that he would purchase several years later.

will be continued.
 
I cannot say whether or not I believe Jemaine has virtiligo..I am gonna say this,,,,,I dont WANT to see proof....that would make make me no better than all the people that didnt believe Michael had it. What I will say....is that I dont really care if he has it.

It was Jermaine that had the blemish and yes this is interesting.....

Yes, interesting, indeed. Can't fully believe it, though. IF it's true and a doctor identified it as vitiligo, he would have been given information about that condition, and the various degrees of severity. That makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE that he didn't know that was the reason for Michael's depigmentation. Which is even WORSE, if he knew, but yet fed the hate against Michael by making it seem that this was something Michael did deliberately! That song (Word to the Badd) must have come from a deep-well of jealousy, if not outright hatred? I'm simply not understanding this . . . . But, is it possible that his "revelation" of the "secret plan" was also intended to injure Michael's legacy? Is that POSSIBLE?
 
.......This is an interesting revealation. I dnt want to deny him of having the disease but like you guys i wonder why didn't he say something through the years? I don't know if I remember correctly ( plz someone correct me if im wrong)but didnt Mj say vitiligo runs in the family in the Oprah interview?

Yes and Latoya said it does not. You see how mean these people are.

Jermaine stories make me think he read parts of Michaels book and simply added those in, and he cannot know the nature of the relationship Michael had with his managers after Jermaine was out of the picture. That story about the brothers leaving him sounds like a little kid complaining. There are too much information that is not first hand. Michael claimed they told him to hide under the bed when they brought girls in and Jermaine is claiming Michael hid there as though Michael did it by choice--I don't know, too many different versions. Even his story about Michael doing the Billie Jean for Gordy, is not the way Michael said it. Gordy did not persuade him, but Michael made a deal with him. It was more like Michael saying I will only come if I can do Billie Jean. Many people were saying the song Jermain is talking about was made for Diana, and that is why Jermaine is saying that. I doubt Michael told him something so intimate, that it was about his lost love. They never seem to be that close after the early 80s. Basically, Jermaine read other people's accounts, made up some, and asked others. Maybe only the things that happened in Gary is really the truth.
 
Is it me or does many things that Jermaine has written already been repeated by Michael? Do you think he and MJ had a real deep conversations abt various issues or has Jermaine just watched some interviews (done some research) and are writing it as in he and MJ talked about it?



and this story below.. Ive heard it before, cant recall if MJ has said or LaToya.

Vici the reason why this is familiar is because Michael wrote that in his book. Plus he told many people how lonely he was and Jermaine heard that too.

Every one knows that Michael writes notes to himself of what he wants to happen. Many millionaires did that before Michael and wrote about it. Michael no doubt must have read their works. Jermaine is not saying anything new here.

It almost sounds like Jerm hired a ghost-writer, put a bunch of books and magazines in front of him, and said, "read this stuff, and write something?" Except for the bit about the "secret plan." That was highly unfortunate, apparently original material?
 
The new "trend" in this family full of vulters: TO CASH IN WITH MICHAEL; because none of the brothers and sisters but Janet have reached Michael's sucess!
Who's next to publish a book? Jackie, Tito...?

Yeah, it seems as he is just repeating things we all know, stuff that MJ told us, its nothing new in there... so boring

Thats why I believe Frank Cascios book will be different, and thats in a good way. The Cascios have never talked abt their friendship with MJ (except Oprah) and MJ has never talked about them. We dont know much about their friendship and that will be something new for us. That book will be something else I believe..

Can't believe he is still bitter and delusional about his own mistake! He too left Motown yrs later cause his Solo career wasn't the dream he thought it would be after he left his brothers group!

And about his alleged Vitiligo and yes, I am saying alleged! Because it makes no sense why he would not come forward until now to say "Hey, I too have it, please believe my brother!" Even if his Alleged vitiligo was lucky enough to not spread he could have greatly help his brother yet, he stayed silent! Until now, AFTER his brother is dead! COME ON! WTF!? Who does that?

It seemed before the presentation he did in that reality in Mexico she did and intervew with a Mexican reporter saying Prince has vitiligo as well. Which show how contradictory and inconsistent La Toya is! :angry:

So if Michael would be angry about Jermaine sharing this bit of inforamation why do it then? I'll tell you why, because he does'nt give a damn! Its all about selling this book.

Again, Michael would NOT be pleased about any of this at all!

I hope to God it a'int Rebbie, 'cause then we'd really have cause to worry.
 
I am laughing at the part where Jermaine says the reason we rushed to buy TII tickets was because Michael said this would be the last time he would be performing. Now or never? Speaking for just me that is so wrong. He totally doesn't get the relationship Michael has with his fans. He could have said he would be doing 50 world tours after TII and I still would have flown to London. My sweetheart was going to be there after being away for so long. All I wanted was to be in the same space he was and watch him make magic like only Michael Jackson can.

exactly, it's the jealousy that speaks out of him, despite of everything Michael went thru ppl were eager to see him, WE wanted to see him, I had to spend 7 hours on that TicketMaster site to get tickets to TII during presale, that's how HARD it was, with the site crushing down a million times because of the demand. That was btw my first and last time since I used Ticketmaster, I've never been to a concert ever Mike's was supposed to be my first concert, and since that didn't happen, I just never had the urge to go and see someone else since his death. While Jermaine's ''concerts'' don't even attract people , folks aren't even ready to see him for free. LMAO
