I saw one of the interviews with Jermaine, and I thought it was great. The love he has for his brother is so obvious. It is beautiful to see, but very sad as well.
Since last Thursday I've watched a lot of the Jackson 5 Motown 25 performance. There is one part that I watched over an over again. Jermaine's microphone breaks and Michael shares his mic with him. For just that bit you can see Michael stops performing and just enjoys the moment with his brother. The two of them put their arms around each other and look so happy. The love they have for each other is so clear and real in the video. It is so touching, so I am not surprised at all by Jermaine's admirable defense of Michael. (
