They should tour around Christmas time and perform "Up On The Rooftop". When Michael sings about the toys he wants, it will still apply.

I just thought of something. That whole family was Jehovah's Witnesses during that time. Ain't it funny how folks who claim to be so religious will just throw it all out the door when money is involved.

They should think about a different opening act. I hear Janet's a bit unstable.

I think Rebbie, Michael and La Toya were the only devoted ones. Now it's just Rebbie and the moms.

Maybe Jehovah is punishing them for making that "evil Christmas album".

vainandy said:

I know. Remember, even Prince did that, saying he wasn't going to perform the "sex" songs anymore. Hell, he got offered a shit-load of money for the Musicology tour, then that tune changed.

As for th J5 Christmas album, I remember reading that Berry Gordy cut a deal with Joe to get them to record it. As we all know, Joe doesn't practice any religion except money (especially in the 60s and 70s).

You KNOW you ain't got control of your careers when Motown tells you to make a Christmas album and you're Witnesses.

I'm sure Michael hated it.

Timmy84 said:

Shit yeah. I remember that Ed sullivan footage in 69 wishing them well and all the Xmas presents they could hope for and little MJ laughing nervously.

Kind of make me sad when i hear it.

PS fuck Jermaine, he's full of shit.

Marrk said:

True I can't even enjoy their Christmas songs. And yeah Jermaine is full of shit but he's also full of Armor-Oil too.

He has to keep people interested.

I saw a timeline/schedule when they were at Motown from the recording of I Want You Back to the Moving Violation 1975 tour, I was like then because they worked ALOT

NDRU said:

I have no doubt they still got it. That performance in 2001(although 7 years ago) sons most of Michael's performance that followed

NDRU said:

Exactly.I can't believe how lazy these guys are.Jermaine could have been touring all these years,playing small venues and theatres.Howard Hweitt does it.Jeffrey Osborne does it.What's Jermaine's excuse?

SoulAlive said:

Funny thing is, Tito, the last Jackson to release a solo album, has been touring for the past couple of years with his blues band and has gotten alot of positive reception

whereas Jermaine spends all his royalties on child support and Blue Magic Hair Conditioner

For those of us who are not good at American slang, what means sons, please?

Annika said:

it was better than

Jermaine, just shut up.

bboy87 said:

Oh okay! From the context I figured that was probably it, but it's hard to be sure.

Yeah RIGHT!! I highly doubt that Michael is on board with this. I would be SHOCKED if he is.

bboy87 said:

I saw footage of Tito a while back and was shocked to see he was pretty good. It was obvious he did it because he enjoyed it, not in an effort to cash in on his name.

I would love to see this.

They're running this on the CNN ticker tape. If Jermaine is pulling our leg I swear... If I hear he hasn't even talked to Michael he needs to be locked up.

JackieBlue said:

well that amazes me. Jermaine should tour on his own, pull his pants down and show everyone just how he's mastered talking out of his ass!

Didn't CNN run the same thing when Jermaine announced it late last year?

Ugh, my sister mentioned that she'd heard this on the radio and was kinda excited. I had to pause and try my hardest not to roll my eyes at her and just was like "That'll be Jermaine talking"

I wonder are they still gonna reunite without Michael

Yeah, they're gonna reunite all right:
