Let's get away from some Jackson negativity for a little while. Jermaine had a great song in 1978 with "Castle of Sands"

Nobody likes Jermaine these days?

If you still rockin a s-curled fade, you don't DESERVE love

Dynamite was a good song, but most of Jermaine's music gives me gas

Niiiiccce...but it kinda sounds like the Isley Brother's say it again girl...

thekidsgirl said:

Awesome!!

Like I said on another thread, Jermaine has come out with some beautiful songs (Tell Me Im Not Dreaming, Do What You Do, Don't Take it Personal), and I think he is very talent and has a beautiful singing voice. He could've put more effort into his own career instead of depending on Michael, Janet, or his mother. He is very ghetto in having all these kids from different women he cannot put in the lifestyle he is accustomed to. He needs to lose the fingerwaves and S Curl, invest in some Proactive, and make some more beautiful love songs he does so well.

thekidsgirl said:

Not only that, most of Jermaine's music is just a little too sappy for me!

And especially when your face look so shiny like someone sprayed an oil can at his face.

He gets no love a'la Faith Evans.

thekidsgirl said:

Well damn! His dance songs and early-'70s material was nice. I dig "Don't Take It Personal" though "Let's Get Serious" was his REAL hit.

Y'all must be listen to the Arista/LaFace era Jermaine. Check out his Motown era from 72-82, it has dome funk jams and smooth ballads on their.

he needs one of these:

I wanna bash Jermaine over the head for MOST of the Arista stuff (don't even GET me started on "Dynamite" and his duets with Pia Zadora and Whitney ). But when he did "Don't Take It Personal", he tried to pull off his best Marvin Gaye vocal impersonation, lol!

For real! But I wonder if you hit him on the ground, would his head combust? I swore his hair looked as it glued itself on his head.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Let's Get Serious and Castle of Sand are the only worthy things I can tolerate from Jermaine...

silverchild said:

Y'all must not know about Jermaine's Motown hits.

Ideal Girl is the damn jam!

Personally I'm more inclined on his cover of "Daddy's Home" from his Motown days after "Let's Get Serious".

Timmy84 said:

That's How Love Goes > Daddy's Home

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Both of them fine songs by the way.

Timmy84 said:

Fo' shizzle.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

like do what you do , awesome track and if i want to have a laugh i listen to word 2 the badd

Yes, I agree. "Castle Of Sand" is great. Two other under-appreciated Jermaine tracks are "You'll See" and "You're Supposed To Keep Your Love For Me" (which is really a Stevie track with Jermaine singing on it )

What about the classic "You Like Me don't you". That's song is evergreen. It's the type of song they play consistently on "Quiet Storm" radio. It's Jermaine at his very best.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Great track by Jermaine, from the "Frontiers " album!! That song was a Quiet Storm staple here in DC, back in the day....
