That shit was not LIVE. 
Pure lip-sync, and not even a good one. His band (and I use that term loosely) wasn't even attempting to pretend to know how to play the instruments or sing the background vocals, which were identical to the album version of the song as were Jermaine's lead singing. 'live' .... please ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've met Jermaine a few times this past year through my job. I showed him this link. He laughed and said he had those girls there purposely doing nothing so the focus was on him at all times. Also he said the suit was intentional for the song. He wanted to project a non personal image for the performance. Thus the song's title. "When your in a business suit it's never personal." he said to me.. then gave his slanted smile. So now you all know. I found that quite interesting. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

So Jermaine is not the sharpest knife in the drawer is what you're pointing out right? If he wanted the focus totally on him then the women wouldn't have been there at all.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like this one: Great song love the chorus but this was typical of the '80's...get a couple of skinny models and have them play air guitar. Jermaine witout the guitar had no stage presence he was just standing there in a suit preparing for a job interview  I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

What do you expect from a dude who names his kid 'Jermajesty'? |

On the serious note, Jermaine was under rated. That Jackson clan was a powerhouse of performers and singers. I hope they can all pull it together and work as a group again. Why You Jive Turkey You.... | |

Horrible 80's cheese. I hated that one also.
If you want to hear a good Jermaine Jackson tune, listen to this I can't see the clip. Which one is that "Let's Get Serious"? When it comes to Jermaine Jackson, I love the "Let's Get Serious" album. After that, the only Jermaine Jackson songs I can think of that I like is "Paradise In Your Eyes" and "Let Me Tickle Your Fancy". Later, Jermaine had become too adult contemporary sounding for my taste. You know he recorded a song with Shitney before she even had her first album.

Funkenstein doesn't like much stuff from the 1980s. However, I think he might like some of the "Let's Get Serious" album. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I do like 'Let's Get Serious' to some extent though, but I prefer the stuff he did in the 70's. I've got all his 70's albums except 'Frontiers' (released in '78). It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I only like the first couple of years from the 80's
They still made music that didn't sound too plastic up till '82-'83 or so. After that...  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

FRONTIERS is definitely a funk album , but it is hard to find because it's rare. I am so glad my cousin brought it for me when it came out. Great Album! | |

What do you expect from a dude who names his kid 'Jermajesty'? Apparently Mike and Jermain have the same idea....they are royalty. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
