Let's face it Michael Jackson needs to grow up and get back with his brothers he's 50 dam it Come on he's acting like a washed up singer...maybe because he is, his best move now would be to get back with his brothers ..he would at least have a band that worked and have an act...it sad to say it but he's lost the plot!
They could still get a CD out that not a joke he last one had some good trax but the money is made now days live...mike to lazy to get in the gym with his brothers workout and get on the road..he still wants to be a star and demand star monies...record companies are not going to pay! Face it jacko studio albums take you to much money to produce and having teen boppers like ne-yo and A - CON (akon) can only take your cd sells so far.. Look it would be a tribute to james and the greats who have passed by if he got back with his brother and re-writes HIStory so it ends with some class. Their i've said it  Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..

How is getting back with the group he was with as a child/young adult "growing up"? Seems more like trying to relive the past to me.
Plus, MJ is "an act that works" all by himself, at least in terms of bringing in the money. People will still pay money to see him perform, I suspect. Far fewer people would pay to see the Jackson 5/Jacksons perform - they would still be going to see Michael Jackson, not the other 4/5 middle aged guys on stage with him. Why should MJ want History be a tribute to JB/other greats? It's by far his most personal album, and it's about him, not his idols. (And I happen to love it just the way it is.) | |

They sing and dance that's what people want ...mike on stage just would not cut it...he's 50...unless you want a slower version of mike with a backing track playing i'm not sure?

There is a lot of love for the J5/Jacksons. it's not all about Michael. Alot of his older fans would get a great feeling seeing them all together as a group one more time. They would fill arenas the world over, accepted, Michael would be the main draw of course, but don't underestimate the love for The Jacksons as a brand. And if it would mean less chance of him lipsynching (which it would), i'm all for that. |

Oh, don't worry, I'm not underestimating the love still out there for the Jacksons, especially among older fans. It's just that the original post seemed to imply that Michael was not a draw on his own, and needed the rest of them to be a draw, which is I don't think is the case.  | |

Yep he's not... thats it ...a tour needs to make money ...mike by himself would not make money the quicker he does get back with his brothers the quicker he'll be able to kick start his career again "solo".Any promoter would his salt would they him this...unless you want a really short gig with backing tracks and bad press....his PR has taken alot of hit's he does not need anymore..but hey someone must be buying all these remix..special editions? or are they?

As soon as Michael realizes that he will never make another album like, "Thriller" he will be fine. The fact that he is always trying to make another "Thriller" has gotten in the way of making music. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

I didn't say I was happy with what Michael is doing right now. I would love for him to drop all those shit hoppers he insists on working with. And yes, it would be fun to see them all back on stage together. However, I really don't see how this equals him growing up, unless they dumped all the old preteen/teen hits and did something a little more age appropriate (which would kind of take the fun out of the whole thing). A lot of their old hits relate directly to childhood, coming of age and discovering yourself. Somehow, I have difficulty imagining a bunch of middle aged guys singing songs like ABC and Dancing Machine in all seriousness. :p Personally, what I would like to see is MJ doing some of his own lesser known but more grown up songs, which he hasn't performed before (and I would want him to do it live, if possible). It would also work with the Jacksons, I suppose, but I don't see them as a prerequisite for MJ growing up artistically. | |

Look this is Jermaine live "Having a laugh at the Jackson Days" on Big Brother 2007, but if you look closer, you can see that this is a man who brothers are a world class act who have a talent that's just waiting for the right deal...that deal needs Mike ...and Mike needs them...Mike will never deliver "artistically" what people want because he's too old to do BAD and Thriller...but with his brothers he could show the world what we know is their...talent. Alot of the kids in the video was not even born when the Jackson made it big...but you can see they have respect for the talent...and fun..if mike grows up puts aside the ego..he will become again the king of pop! http://uk.youtube.com/wat...re=related Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..!

I thought he was stupid for turning down touring with them, he could at least be humble about his success and roots, but just comes off as an asshole for turning them down. My dad hates him so much and was even hating on him for turning down touring with his brothers and called them all washed up | |

He's stupid for not touring with them? The only thing stupid is this thread...
Michael has been a solo artist for almost thirty years now, and has rarely if ever shown any interest in reuniting as a group. The MSM thing was not a "tour", just a three-day show.... The Jacksons disbanded a LONG time ago. WRONG! There is a lot of love for the J5/Jacksons. it's not all about Michael. Alot of his older fans would get a great feeling seeing them all together as a group one more time. They would fill arenas the world over, accepted, Michael would be the main draw of course, but don't underestimate the love for The Jacksons as a brand.
Its not all about him? But he of course would be the main draw? If you care so much about The Jacksons, go and find Tito, Jermaine, Jackie, and Randy and ask them why they haven't reunited.. Once again..Bullshit thread.. Hope the NWO shuts you down! [Edited 12/4/08 6:38am] | |

Even in his prime, like "Thriller", MJ refused to do the "Motown 25" show with his brothers, and he didn't want to do the "Victory" tour. It may be personal, but maybe he is tired of being used as their mealticket,understanding that he was part of his brothers success to begin with. | |

Easy..... The Jacksons-era (NOT Jackson 5) was a more funkier time as far as music is concern. And funk is "grown folks" music. | |

See when you have a family member who becomes the MOST prominent of your group, it's hard to do it without that person and it's different with groups who are not related versus groups who are families. And since MJ was the most prominent, it has been harder and harder to do it without that member so in turn if you ain't gonna do with Mike, don't do it at all. They DID try in 1989-1990 but it flopped. | |
