Anyone remember Michael J's 3T?

They were his nephews anfd released an album back in 1996 (I think!)


Anyway, here in the UK, they were pretty big 4 a short while! "anything" was heard quite alot on raidio stations and did well in the charts if i remebber! And "why" which feat. Michael on vocals and in that crap video, hit just as big too!


"I need you" was the last thing I remember from them, it was a power ballad written by Eric Carmen! I have their album but they just vanished as far as i know?

Surely the album was a sucsess! I picked it up 2nd hand a few years back and despite the corn factor, I now quite like "anything" and "i need you".....heck they even wrote "anything" which was news to me! I shoulds known that "why" was a babyface track!


"gotta be you" is so very Max Martin pop.....my god does that track sound dated now!

Anyone remember them? Were they big anywhere else in the world?

They have released a new album in a few European countries a few months ago called Identity. It's quite nice, but nothing exceptional.

I really liked Brotherhood. I saw them live on that tour and a few months ago as well, where I met them.

The new cd sounds very now. It will sound dated in a few years time.

Interesting. I didn't know that Michael's nephews made a album.

The only Jackson members I know that released albums, besides Michael and Janet, was Rebbie, Jermaine, and Latoya.

There's even a new album coming up from Dealz, one of Jackie's sons. It will be a rap album.

I remember them. They were AWFUL.

They played one of their videos - the duet with MJ - on a run down of MJ's best videos (it's a pretty duff music channel - hence it's inclusion). It was B.A.D. and I don't mean that in the leather-buckled trouser sense.

"Why" is one of Babyface's best songs. Reminds me a lot of "Love Tried To Welcome Me" from Madonna's Bedtime Stories album.

And MJ's vocals on the chorus are awesome. Some sad MJ fan trivia for you... Originally intended for MJ to release on the HIStory album.
