In terms of their musical legacy? it's true that all the Jackson have already made there mark on the world and their respective legacies are secured. I also know that they can all still make and release music on their own if they want to because in that respect, nobody can stop them. But, in terms of being a FORCE in the industry again...is it just about over for the older Jacksons (Janet and the brothers)?. I know Janet has some projects coming up as do the brothers but is anybody (outside of the hardcore fans like us) really interested anymore?

Can the younger generation of Jacksons that are starting to emerge change this? I know a lot of them are planing on coming out with their own music in the years to come but will it be enough to breath new life (and intrest) to the family? can they bring "America's first family of MUSIC" back into the forefront of people's minds, without all the so-called "scandal", the reminders of death (RIP MJ), rumours and such being attached? What do you all think?
 
If theres a will theres a way,
I think for the new genoration of Jacksons Prince, Paris and Blanket could bring it back but they will probably forever be compared to MJ.
Janet is getting back on top her new song "make me" is number one on the billboard dance chart at the momment and the rummors shes planning a tour of Europe I'm sure people are interested in her.
Well only time will tell if they can bring back Americas first family of music.
 
If there's a will there's a way as someone said. If the Jackson brothers put their mind to it, I believe they can be sucessful, especially among fans who look at them as their way to hanging on to Michael.
 
Of course they can. I can see it happening. There are so many veteran acts that have reinvigorated their careers over the years because they have a strong fan base aways anticipating their return. The Jacksons definitely have that with loyal fans who were with them from the beginning.

The younger generation also has diverse talents in many genres so that increases the potential. Janet is far from done as she's working on new things and her latest single hit#1 on Billboard's dance charts.

Most music lovers aren't pre-occupied with artist's private lives, even though the media and tabloids try to show artist's in the worst light. Most people have their own lives and families to occupy their time, so they don't waste it on someone else's family life. They want to be entertained.

So, yes, it could happen. If nothing else, Tito definitely needs to do a blues album.
 
Janet is going into more movies. She's gonna get an Oscar one day :wub:....hopefully. :ermm:
 
Janet is doing fine continuing her legacy as an amazing artist, singer and actress :wub:
 
i think so...no one can take their title of America's first family of music away from them..they have already made their mark and paved their path...so really they dont have to do a damn thing honestly but sit back and watch the younger generation come out follow in the footsteps of their famous and legendary daddy's :)
 
to late for the brothers imo. they have always suffered in the shadow of mj.and if they started doing things now as a group.the timing would make them look bad dunno re the second generation the 3t's had their success but for how many years have we heard about auggie.siggy etc releasing stuff and it never happened. it will always be difficult because of the shadow of mj.janet will contimue as she does now. nothing will change much there. but the legacy of the J5 was set along time ago. its a part of music history and nothing will change that. theres nothing left to do

The brothers getting back together, if it does happen, will probably have some success, but thats about it. As for Janet, her career right now is what it is. Her sex based lyrics are tired now and for some reason she does'nt seem able to move on to other more meaningful topics. The sex pot image is no longer attractive. Some can continue to blame the Superbowl incident all they want but if she does'nt try something new this time around she's gonna fail yet again. For the cousins, I can only wish them luck, but a few have been at it for sometime now without success, so I don't know.

Janet is going into more movies. She's gonna get an Oscar one day :wub:....hopefully. :ermm:

Lets be honest here, Janet's acting is not Oscar worthy.

Good post elusive. I agree!

Someone mentioned "veteran acts." I don't think the brothers are interested in being a "veteran act." In my opinion, the brothers think they can pick up where they left off, with the HUGE productions and everything that goes with having Michael Jackson as part of their act. Those days are long gone.

I remember one of the brothers mentioning a World Tour. No offense, but a World Tour at this point, is a pipe dream.

They should have taken their act on the road year's ago, instead of waiting around for Michael to join them. Maybe if they did that, they would have a better change at musical sucess now. They could have been out their singing the J5 songs AND songs that could have been written just for the FOUR of them. But alas, they spent too many years waiting for Michael to join them.

I'm afraid that, on a grand scale, their ship has sailed!

True. I've been hearing about Austin and Siggy since the early 00s. And now years have passed and still nothing. I do feel sorry for them cuz they sure do deserve a shot of fame. As for the brothers I do think it's too late. They should be happy and thankful for what they already achieved with Michael Jackson as the Jackson 5. They should be glad and thankful they are still alive.

if the Jackson brothers tried to tour apart from Michael, while Michael was touring, himself, years ago, you know the media would have had a field day with that, asking many questions as to why Michael and his brothers wouldn't tour together, though other acts who seperated, even if they were family, would not get that grief from the media, on nearly as grand a scale.

I'm not sure about that vncwilliam.

I mean, in the beginning the media "might" have inquired as to the goings on with Michael, but after a while I believe those types of questions would have been moot.

As the brothers continued to tour without Michael, I'm sure the media would have moved on to other things.

Aside from the fact, that Michael more or less made it clear a long, long time ago, that he was no longer interested in touring with his brothers. So it's not like that was NEW news anyway.

i disagree, because with the media, MJ was the first person to ever get plastic surgery. the media always made mountains out of molehills with Michael on everything, apart from everybody else. so anything involving him would be set apart. they never let go of anything, regarding him. they held onto their sentiments, especially if they were negative. even now, with the investigation, ongoing, they hold onto the sentiment that MJ overdosed. that is their negative spin. they only let go of the child molestation buzz line, because he died, and they have something new to hang onto. so, they would look for negatives about separation between Michael and his brothers. and the media would hang onto them.

Yeah, but everything you mention is regarding MICHAEL, not his brothers.

To be honest with you, I don't think the media would have been that interested in the brothers. Like I said, had the brothers continued on after Michael left (what year did Michael leave the group?), they may have gotten some heat in the beginning, but 10-20-25 years later, I doubt the media would have been reporting on them at all.

Tito did his little club thing, nobody said a word or maybe nobody noticed. Either way, Tito obviously wasn't worried about what the media may have said about his musical aspirations. The brothers could have followed Tito's lead and just done solo projects, instead of waiting around for Michael to rejoin the fold.

He left the group in 1984 after the victory tour along with Marlon.
 
I think the reason they so desperately wanted Michael on board was, money, and attention. They knew that success would come with Michael only. They wanted the big bucks and huge success, something they were aware that they'd be unable to get Michaelless. Michael's gone for half a year now,.. they will never be able to bother him again. No one will.
 
I think J5's legacy is set in stone, what they've done for black musical groups is obvious...that's the brother's place in music history. MJ's legacy is obviously set in stone, I don't think I need to talk about his mamouth place in history, and Janet's place is set if for nothing more then just being apart of that family...of course having some hit albums on her own and being an influence to some female stars today does not hurt.

I wonder though who can bring NEW and FRESH life into that family's public image. The brothers can do there reality show but its drawing power is based in the past and I don't think the intrest will last a second season. Janet can continue doing her films and music but her audience is her hardcore fanbase and not, imo, the GENERAL music loving/buying public (nobody seeems to be checking for her like they used to).

So I'm hoping that the new year (and years to come) bring out some new Jackosn talent. I'm checking for Austin and Genevievee (however you spell it lol) lol...hopefuly they bring it.
 
I think it's pretty much over sadly, unless Michael's kids decide to do something some years down the road. I'm sure attention will be drawn to them, but I don't think they will be a force like Michael or The Jackson 5/Jacksons were. Time will tell...

Okay, let me rephrase my statement....

Janet's acting will NEVER be Oscar worthy! better?:cheers:
 
The jackson5/jacksons were and are a talented group if They put there heart and soul to there music along with dance moves, they will be very successful they still look youthful they will capture new fans along with old fans michael will always be missed but not forgotten, the jacksons brother along with janet in concert would sell out, all they need is the right producers they still have the looks and talents.
 
i dont think the children of the jackson brothers will ever be able to bring that "excitement", but if michael`s kids ever choose to make a career in music business than yeah, but they will forever be compared to their dad and its never going to be easy. So i am gona say no.

Janet isn't able to sell out her own concerts and you are talking about Janet and them to sell out? There was a reason why her America tour was canceled last year and it had nothing to do with ''vertigo'' but poor ticket sales. LMAO!

smh..you always find the time in every thread to point out all things negative about Miss Jackson and i don't feel thats necessary...its okay to argue a point but its to the point where EVERY thread you seem to post in regarding the Jacksons it reverts back to Janet and her not being able to sell tickets, or her lack of albums sales compared to MJ...

I hope you begin to exercise that if you have nothing nice to say then just dont say it...and before you even think about clicking on reply just know that I respect your opinion and with that being said you should respect mine.

carry on peeps :)
