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

Geraldo and Geraldo asked:
if Michael had vitiligo and
If the kids are michael's biological kids - Jermain said yes and how he watched Prince in the pool and Prince has vitiligo under his arm and it's spreading- said Michael passed it on to Prince
Geraldo asked then why did he write "Word To The Badd"
Jermaine said he did not write it but he sang it because he was mad at Michael for distancing the family and he was representing other family members such as Reebie and one of the brothers (can't remember which one)

Did anyone see Geraldo last night? Which brother did Jermaine say that he was representing?
 
I've just finished the first chapter.

Funny, touching childhood stories :):sad:

But does anybody find the analogy with Benjamin Button disturbing and upseting?

Michael was expected to be an adult when he was a kid, and he regressed into a kid when he was expected to be ana adult.He was more Benjamin Button than the Peter Pan comparison he made himself

Not really. I find it an inaccurate analogy.
 
Jermaine said : "I'm sure he raised a hand". These were his words.

This is what the member posted about what Jermaines said that Michael was tough on his kids and did raise his hands on them.






Go to the search tab where it says Search ninemsn video and type in Michael Jackson. Then a whole list of videos on Michael should come up and you'll see the latest which is Jermaine's interview. The title is called 'Remembering Michael'

Re: Jermaine Jackson: We were kids with a dream

what he said? Base on the title I would like to say that MJ work hard trying to make the dream come true. Jermaine sit there and wishing the dream would come true by itself.
 
Just to remind people can criticise the Jacksons to your heart's content, but there is no need for disguised insults against member's here that do support the Jacksons. Everyone here deserves their opinion to be heard, even if you do not agree.

Also like ginvid said, there is absolutly no discussion about the health matters of Michael's children or any parentage discussion.

Thanks everyone

It's very OBVIOUS to me that Jermaine Jackson knew "nothing" about his brother, Michael Jackson. He may have known his brother during the J5 days, something he likes to bring up often, but what about the ADULT Michael Jackson.

Jermaine's says: "I'm sure he raised a hand." But at the same time there is no story about Jermaine and Michael sharing opinions on that particular subject.

Does Jermaine share any stories about spending time with his brother as an adult? Any stories about going over to Michael's crib to just hang-out with their respective kids? Any stories about he and Michael hang-out in the studio, kicking music related ideas? (If I remember correctly, Jermaine said on a NUMBER of occasions that "we are in the studio right now working on new music." I wonder what happened to all of that NEW music. LOL)

Where are all of the stories about 2 GROWN MEN just hanging out, trading stories, sharing jokes, and/or just kicking it for no reason?
 
Re: Jermaine Jackson: We were kids with a dream

Jermaine was also a man with a dream. That dream was that his very famous brother would join him and the other brothers on stage again.

Jermaine wasted all of that time waiting, instead of going out there and "trying" to carve something out for himself, independent of his very famous brother.

All of the energy that he is using now, he could have been using YEAR'S AGO, and maybe, just maybe he would have something to stand on today, something independent of his very famous brother!
 
Isn't there an interview where Michael clearly states that he would never hit one of his children? If I remember correctly one of the "post its" in Michael's bedroom said "discipline with love" and I always just assumed he was talking about his kids. It sounds like Michael to me and how he would choose to discipline...with LOVE and not violence of any kind.
 
As much as sometimes you don't know what to believe from jermaine I totally believe the Rebbie part. I have noticed nothing but coldness from her. Janet and Latoya are not like that towards Michael regardless of how I disagree with certain things.
 
Michael said MANY times that he'd NEVER lay hand on his children people who were there said he NEVER did. Jermaine is full of it .......if he has claimed Michael would do that
 
Wait a second, did Jermaine REALLY claim Michael raised a hand on his children?!!
What a :censored:
He's just jealous that he'll never come close to being the kind of father Michael was to his children. Michael was the kind of father Jermaine will never be.

IF he really claimed Michael raised his hand against his children, he's hit another ultimate LOW POINT.
If he really said this, he won't shy away of saying even worse stuff about Michael in the future in order to promote something new, or defend abusive Joseph.
I hope that he never said those things but if he did it's just a further proof that nothing, NOT A THING about Jermaine is genuine.

i know i bought the book last night thinking "ok give him a benefit of the doubt" after this wish i hadn't. if the "escape plan" didn't do it THIS will.......media will have a party with this
 
Of course they will, and even if it goes unnoticed, Jermaine saying this; having the the audacity to make such malicious statements alone, speaks volumes. Although I've never been of the kind to give anyone from that family another chance, because honestly they've crossed every limit there is to cross, -when it comes to disgusting behavior-, it still pains cuz even someone like me,- who's highly critical of everything and anything Jackson- didn't expect him to say something like this.

On this particular issue I'm still willing to give Jermaine the benefit of a doubt, until someone proves me otherwise, so please if anyof you saw, heard or read the interview, can you guys please tell us what Jermaine's exact words were?

I'm sure he didn't. What would Jermaine know about how Michael raised his kids anyway? Michael hardly even communicated with him. IF Jermaine really said this, I have the feeling this is just another way by Jermaine to somehow make Joseph's violence look less harmful. Like in saying "OK, our father beat us, but so did Michael raise a hand on his kids, so it's not big deal". I wish the Jacksons would stop throwing Michael under the bus and stop making up lies just to excuse Joseph. There's no way Michael raised a hand on his kids EVER! Impossible. It would go totally against his principles.
 
I have yet to see the interview where Jermaine allegedly says MJ raise his hands to his kids! Until I do, I won't comment on it. Someone find a video so then we will know for sure, Cause I can't find one yet!? Anyway, he did alright on Geraldo but, sometimes the way Jermiane word things are like...o_O
 
So Rebbie, Jackie also agreed with Word to the Badd?

God, I am so scared. Jermaine said he has a pictures of Prince's vitiligo (he claims he is not gonna show it) but we all know "someone" wills teal it and sell it to the press.

Jermaine Jackson: 'Word to the Badd!!' a Call to Michael : * Pop music: 'The only reason I wrote this song was to help my little brother get a grip on reality,' he says.


November 07, 1991|CHUCK PHILIPS | SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
Jermaine Jackson says he took a biting musical swipe at his superstar sibling, Michael, because his younger brother had frozen him out of his life.
In an interview, Jermaine explained that the cantankerous lyrics to his song "Word to the Badd!!," which criticize Michael for allegedly changing his skin color and obtaining plastic surgery, were written in retaliation for eight months of unreturned phone calls.

"I understand he's a very busy person, but after you repeatedly try to contact your own brother and he doesn't call you back, you begin to wonder if he hasn't just completely lost touch with reality," Jermaine, 37, told The Times.​


"I know people are going to go off on a tangent and say that Jermaine is jealous. But it's not true. Michael and I have never feuded. The only reason I wrote this song--and it came from the bottom of my heart--was to help my little brother get a grip on reality. I never meant to discredit him. The song was never supposed to come out in public. But now that it has, I am hear to say that, yes, I wrote it and I stand by it."

A bootleg cassette of "Badd!!" was leaked last weekend to programmers at several radio stations, which began playing it back-to-back with an unauthorized version of Michael Jackson's long-awaited new single "Black or White," a song about racial harmony that was not officially due to be released until Monday.

Jermaine's song includes lyrics such as:
Reconstructed
Been abducted
Don't know who you are
Think they love you
They don't know you
Lonely superstar . . . .

Michael Jackson, 33, could not be reached for comment, but a spokesman for his record company called the release of Jermaine's song a "malicious publicity stunt."

Representatives from LaFace Records, the Atlanta-based independent label for which Jermaine Jackson records, and from Arista Records, the company that distributes his music, denied playing any part in leaking the song to radio programmers, as did Jermaine.

Jermaine said he is tired of hearing the lyrics of "Badd!!" being compared to his sister La Toya's vindictive tell-all autobiography about the Jackson clan, of which an excerpt appears along with her nude photos in the November issue of Playboy magazine.

"In no form or fashion was this done as a publicity stunt," said Jackson, who hasn't scored a solo Top 10 hit on the pop charts since the early '80s. "This is not like La Toya. I think that what La Toya has done is unforgivable. I don't know who leaked the song. I certainly had nothing to do with it. But it doesn't anger me. If it wasn't leaked now, maybe it would have been leaked later. The fact is it's out there and I have to deal with it."

However, the way Jermaine looks at it, at least one positive thing occurred as a result of the song's public airing. Shortly after the recording was leaked, Michael called.

The two Jackson siblings reportedly met for the first time in eight months on Monday in Los Angeles.

"The first thing Michael asked me was 'Why?' " Jermaine said. "So I explained to him how I felt. After we talked for awhile we agreed that no matter how busy each of us gets that we should never be too busy to take a call from one another. But that's between us.

From the article memefan posted:

"....said Jackson, who hasn't scored a solo Top 10 hit on the pop charts since EARLY '80's"

Dang, that must have stung Jermaine to no end and he's apparently still chasing that "Top 10 Hit" dream.

I have a question: After "Word To The Bad" was released, what happened? Did Jermaine ever release any more new music, or was that basically it for his music career?

(P.S. Thanks for posting that article memefan. Folks need to recognize that if there is a PAPER TRAIL of evidence, you can bet that a Michael Jackson fan will find it. LOL!)
 
I am pretty sure if Jermaine is going to answer the article above in 91, he is going to say the media twisted his words. haha sometimes I found it's quite amusing that now they can blamed everything to the media.
 
Why would it have to be that Michael had lost touch with reality? Maybe there was just a reason that he didn't want to speak to Jermaine.

I wonder if they will ever admit that maybe they gave Michael reasons to distance himself from them. He certainly was able to get in touch with many and remain close. That says something.
