Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Book To Be Released Sept 13*

[Autumn II]

vFamilies can be great, but if all you have are people you've known closely for a lifetime, it's often good to get indenpedent opinions/help? Looks like Jermaine didn't have a "coach," or time to go over potential questions and answers?

This is "Interview 101?" He knew certain questions would be asked and IMHO, should have been well-prepared with the answers, especially to those questions attempting to lead him into negativity. Such as, "Baby dangling?" Jerm could answer, "ALL parents have done things that seem unwise at the time. But, no harm done. And NOW, I'd like to talk about. . .(changes subject.)" And that's all he really needed to say about it?

M*olestation accusations. Answer: "The media coverage was INCREDIBLY unbalanced. There is a LOT of evidence suggesting that both accusations were EXTORTION ATTEMPTS. But, let's do our research, shall we? And more on to another question?"

He should have had PLANNED answers to difficult questions, not just, "What's wrong with sharing your bed?"

This, too, shall pass, and the book-sales/media blitz will eventually END

I believe that everything should be balanced, and credit where credits due, if Jermaine put this woman in her place then we should give him credit for this, not many people have dont that. It doesn't mean to say that we necessarily agree with everything but just that we can recognise the good as well as the bad.

yes I agree thank you.. Jermaine did a good job here. Her face was priceless. .Good Job Jermiane. I feel sorry for him because he knows what the points are that he is trying to get across...he IS TRYING to defend Michael. He just isn't a person that speaks well at interviews...but hey who is to say that any of us would be any better. I have to give Jermaine his credit for this,

Agreed.

Jermaine certainly "tried" but he should have been better prepared to answer the questions he surely knew he would be receiving. You have to hit some of these folks over the head with FACTS and not just a bunch of one-liners.

Oh and whether it's Jermaine Jackson or somebody else out there promoting a book, answering a question by saying "It's all in my book, read my book." In my opinion, thats NEVER an answer and it annoys me to no end when folks use those words as an answer to a question.

Also have to laugh at Barbara Walters, all she wants to know is "how do you feel about being left out of Michael's will." LOL!

And Jermaine BASICALLY said what we have been saying for 2+ years now. That being that the family don't believe the will, because they are NOT in it. (Aside from Katherine Jackson and Michael's 3-children, of course.)

yes I agree with you too..he should of been better prepared for those questions...he HAS been asked the same ones over and over, I agree,,,the "read my book" line gets under my skin. Latoya did the same thing, As far as the being left out of the will question goes......I am tired of addressing THAT issue,,,even though their faces are priceless when asked..lol. Well guess we shall have to wait and see what happens with jerms next interview,,,,maybe by the last one he will be a pro..

Agree completely

I don't freaking get why many "MJ fans" are supporting and buying JJ book... SMHD.

 

[ilmjj]

I am at work now and I can't listen to the interview. Did Jermaine really say they believe the will is fake because they aren't in it? I can't believe the arrogance of this family sometimes. Would they rather use the will from the 1990's? Oh wait...

When Barbara Walters asked him does it bother him that the siblings are not in the will, Jermaine said:

"These are questions we have. Why we felt there was something with the will as well."

So I take that to mean, they ARE upset that they were not included in Michael's will and therein lies their problem with the will. It has nothing to do with where the will was signed or that somebody's name was not spelled correctly.

To date, to my knowledge, nobody in the family has had the COURAGE to just come out and say, "we think the will is fake, because we ALL are not in it." LOL!

In my opinion, Jermaine's answer was "pretty close."

Thank you!! I don't even have to read between the lines. That is exactly what he meant.

 

[bluetopez]

Yes he said that to Barabara walters I posted the video from the view where he anwers that question! So now we know the truth that they didn't beleive Mj left them out! And I do beleive some are very angry duh ofcourse! lol Rebbie for one no doubt! The way she answered the question about Diana Ross being in the will was rude IMO!

 

[marebear]

I am glad he put Joy in her place. I remember seeing it and thinking did he really just do that? lol That is what his family should do. A lot of these shows they are on these people basically said or implied that about Michael. They need that thrown right back at them. As for the will, they really can't accept they were left out. Michael took care of all of them for such a long time that they can't accept anything else.

I am missing something again... Can some one tell me what Rebbie said about Diana Ross in the will?
The only thing I know is someone from J family said they would sought thing out with Diana privately.

 

[twinklEE]

There are no doubts in my mind that the resentment and bitterness toward Mike has a lot to do with his will. And if they'd take the time and actually think about it, they'd come to conclusion that Michael did what 99% of the people do, leave everything for their direct line heirs i.e. his offspring. I'd love to read the wills of the rest of the family just to see how many of them have thought about including their extended family in it (makes no difference that they don't have as much as Michael did to leave behind), I highly doubt many of them have done what they expected Michael to do.

Having said that good to read he put Joy to her place, I'm not gonna watch this though

 

[ExoticPrincess]

Well, I was just pissed off today when someone at work brought to my attention a report that was being aired on the radio of an interview Jermaine did with FOX about the book. Would you believe the female interviewer loudly made it known that Michael Jackson was married three times and had kids with a woman who also had kids with his brother! I was like what????? the other interviewer was like 'where did you get that from and the dumb-ass woman said, 'its all in Jermiane's book!' If I could've reached out and grabbed that woman I would, but what really pissed me off is that there were people at work saying 'I did'nt know that?' and I'm telling them that no, it is'nt true, Jermaine and Randy were the ones playing pass around Alejandra in the bedroom, not Michael, and they are like 'but we just heard it on the radio....'

So when you have Jermaine out there saying that he can't control how the media spins his words, my advice is be damn careful who you choose to sit and be interviewed by in the first place! These people don't give a damn about you, its all about the drama! FOX network was always going for the kill where Michael is concerned.

BTW.....has any family member publically showed any support of Jermaine's book?

 

[Petrarose]

What is the name of the chubby Black woman on the View?

I am glad Jermaine scared someone. He should deal with more of these angry women. Congratulations Jermaine!!!!!!!

how great now their nastiness was portrayed on michael.

 

[Petrarose]

Exotic that story about the radio, would be so funny, if it was not about Michael. Just as we always say people believe what they see and hear if it comes form any form of media.

It seems Jermaine's book will do better than Latoya's because he had a more dangerous hook.

Did anyone tweet Jermaine that he should prepare his answers and questions in front of the mirror or to Halima, to avoid stumbling in public?

Oh dear god :banghead: :doh: seriously the media are a bunch of morons lol

 

[Petrarose]

^^Also, the people who believe everything the media say are also morons!!!!

How is book sales going?

 

[Lynn88]

He did pretty well for book sales in the UK. He is at number 10 on the UK best sellers list. Results for US sales hasn't come out yet.

 

[MJnVA]

The Jackson family....making the Osmond family look normal one sentence at a time.

 

[bluetopez]

Fux always sucked when it came to any news if u ask me! lol Some don't know what to say about MJ anymore, first they always imply he's gay and now he was married 3 times and had kids with his brother's girl too? lol And then the lady says it's in the book? :mello: Did she even read it?! Amazing how they can just lie like that with no problem! O_O

I am missing something again... Can some one tell me what Rebbie said about Diana Ross in the will?
The only thing I know is someone from J family said they would sought thing out with Diana privately.

I was talking about Rebbie interview on "The View" a few months back. When they asked her about why MJ chose Diana Ross as the next person to get custody of his kids if Katherine couldn't or something would happened to her. Rebbie to me sounded rude answering the question saying "I don't know what's that all about" shaking her head and giggling like mike was crazy for piking her. When Rebbie knows damn well why MJ would chose Diana. And if she doesn't then that says alot too, don't it?

 

[Petrarose]

^^Rebbie either does not care much for Michael or is jealous of his fame. Something is wrong when she talks about him. I know he wrote her only hit centipede so she should be more humble. When her video came on back in the day, I did not even know who she was, it was one of my little brothers who told me that was Michael Jackson's sister. So they all gained importance due to their connection to him.

Congratulations Jermaine on your success in the UK. I wonder how Latoya feels about this. Someone asked before, but has Latoya tweeted something like "congratulations brother." They are tweeting about practicing for the big concert, so you would expect they would send regards to their little brother who is doing well!!!

 

[MJsSusie]

they were all jealous of Michael and his fame. Hence the reason why each of them are doing books. Janet seems to be the only one capable of being supportive of her brother...... oh shut up me b4 i get myself into trouble!

 

[Petrarose]

^^Funny.

 

[MJsSusie]

im trying to be optimistic about Janet and her reason to write her book...

 

[Petrarose]

im trying to be optimistic about Janet and her reason to write her book...

I know you are. I was laughing because you said you did not want to get in trouble.

It seems Janet's book was mainly about her, but Jermaine's is about Michael through a brother's eye that is through the eyes of fans, a hair dresser, and the stories from other books and tabloids.

I am not buying this. I need to see the charts to know which one is he #10 on. Latoya tried to pull that stunt with the New York Times....these Jacksons are sneaky... From what I heard, there weren't many people at his book signings, so how is he gonna be number #10 on the major chart.

It's either he is #10 on biography charts, or celeb related books. I need to see it to believe he is #10 Fiction.

Where can we view the charts?

Here is the latest official top 50 books in the UK

http://www.thebookseller.com/node/54148

And Jermaine is nowhere on that list. Which makes sense because his book came out on the 14th.

Or maybe he meant top 10 on his publisher's list.

Hahahaahahahaha! yep they totally are

yeh janet's book wasnt so much bout michael per say, it was more bout her personal self esteem isssues and bullying cuz of her weight problems

It is the Sunday Times best sellers list. As for his book signings he had 145 people at the book signing in London and from what I've read there were a lot of people at his New York signing as well along with the one in LA last night. Not sure about the New Jersey one.
