Rebbie...fer sure! Heck, she even got me to do the centepede!


But centepede was written and produced by Michael smile

I think Jermaine is the most underrated, before MJ was old enough to join the band, he was the lead singer. His voice is really great. And after Jermaine, I gotta say Randy. As mentioned he's written some great songs with Mike and by himself too. Jackie is a great writer too.

Two great songs from my fave The Jacksons album

Walk Right Now
(Mike,Randy,Jackie)

Wondering Who
(Jackie,Randy)

Then there's average but underrated Jacksons especially LaToya. She wasnt much talented musically, but she could be a show girl.

In truth all the Jackson family(including Mike and Jan) are underrated in someways. They are the ultumate music family nod

Randy, because of :

One More Chance
Time Waits For No One
Give It Up
Love You Honey
I Can't Wait
The Love We Almost Had
Need You
Not Because Of Me
Luv Thang



and Jermaine, because of:

Castles of Sand
I Like Your Style
There's A Better Way
I'm Just Too Shy
You Like Me Don't You
I'll Always Keep
This Time


and Oh Yeah, theyre both Multi -Instrumentalists, as well as singers...

I always loved the Jackie/Toto written cut "wait" (but then I like Toto so go figure...) this track (off "victory") may sound very dated, but I love the sci-fi like production and it fits in with that awesome album cover so well! Woulda been great if they ever performed this live! The guitar solo is hard to, and the way Michael comes in at the end gives me goose bumps at times!


I just love the way Jermain and Mike trade verses on that song, and im suprised those dope lyrics were provided by Jackie. I still Say the most Underrated Jackson is Randy! In terms of Jermain, his voice is nice but he gets the respect he deserves. he needs no more, no less.

I second that...when I first heard Wait I really disliked because it sounded so dated, but aside from that it is really good song and I like it more and more everytime I hear it. Steve Lukather does a good job on the guitarsolo, Jackie sings lead in a kompetent way but the ad libs where Michael and Jermaine trade verses at the end also give me goose bumps

I think the Jacksons as a whole are an overrated bunch

The fact I know what her name is and the fact I own the above disc, given her lack of singing talent.

tho' I battled blind
love is a fate resigned
memories mar my mind
love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
and laughed at by the Gods
and now the final frame

Great to c a couple like the jacksons track "wait". It does sound sound very dated but who cares. I love the guitar solo too.....then the bit when jackie says "you took away my pride....." and Micheal shouts "MY PRIDE".....damn that bit is awsome!! biggrin

Rebbie.


She's a much better singer than Janet and LaToya.She just needed better producers.With the exception of her 1984 debut single "Centipede",her singles were all mediocre.

i still say Jermajesty. he can't be as bad as his name makes him seem, so therefore he's the most underrated.

They should have paired her up with a great producer like Prince or Rick James....someone outrageous who could give her some really funky jams! Her music was too "soft".
