84-98? Yes u're right very short.

Anyway I still think she's better than Janet,

trueiopian said:

so you think Janet sings better than Regina Bell, Mikki Howard, Karen White, etc.

There's a long list of women that sing better than Janet and who had careers that were short lived.

TheResurrection said:

None of them had any dancing ability or retained anything of relevance to the pop generation at the time like Janet. Rythm Nation shot her rocketship off. The rest of them kinda stayed in the r&b passe.

TheResurrection said:

Rebbie doesn't sing better then Janet! Are you crazy?

can we start up the thread again about Randy and Jermaine?

paisleypark4 said:

So...it was just dancing.

are we talking about real TALENT?


Please understand that I get Janet's appeal and I love me some Janet and I'm of that generation but I'm going to be a realist too...TALENT goes to those ladies mentioned.....entertainment...Janet.

midiscover said:

My opinion, your opinion....you'll live through it. Just breathe.

Yes....maybe this for you is like Thready saying Tiny is cute.

TheResurrection said:

Talent- endowment: natural abilities or qualities

and Janet has lots of it!

midiscover said:

I didn't say Janet wasn't talented per se....I'm just saying that there are some who have MORE talent that didn't make it for whatever reason.

I just heard Baby Tonight for the first time last night, it's a nice effort. I like Lovely Eyes and another joint (can't think of the name right now.) I've heard Jackie first record, but only snippets of his second. I'm pretty sure both have nothin'n Randy & the Gypsies though ...

TheResurrection said:

As in having the ability to sing, dance, act and write songs and produce them? Um right

I wish the Jacksons would have continued to record. Two of them have or currently run there own label (Jackie and Randy). I'm pretty sure they have some music of there recorded.

For some reason, Jackie Jackson is only member of the group that I always forget about.

You're not the only one! The media seems to mix him up with the other siblings or end up leaving him out Though he's the hottest out of the all the boys. I just found out he was drafted into the Chicago White Sox at 19 but declined to pursue music!

Does anyone know if it's true that Marlon works at a supermarket stocking shelves I find that hard to believe ....

midiscover said:

I heard about that but don't believe it.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Yea, I read somewhere that he's in real estate.

Graycap23 said:

Gray done bumped his head.

Don't forget, Tito is actually a very good guitar player as is Jermaine on Bass and vocals.

I always thought The Jacksons would have been better off if they had stayed a group and showcased the others as well as Michael. Why couldn't they do solo projects and still perform as a group too?

***CAN WE PLEASE RE-OPEN THE JERMAINE AND RANDY THREAD THAT I CREATED!***

DigitalGardin said:

Yeah, they shouldn't have locked it.

Prospect said:

I tend to forget about Randy.

midiscover said:

orgNote who ever locked it and ask them to reopen it. I have no reason why they locked it.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I already messaged them and they haven't responded to me
Maybe if all of us that want it to be re-opened message them maybe they eventually will

midiscover said:

I will right now, byt the way, here is the last post from that thread.


Pleae use MJ stickies. Thanks.

There's a tribute magazine to Michael and the part about his family, they mix Randy up with the American Idol judge

I'm looking like "That muthafucka don't look nowhere near like them!"

Motown has a solo album by Marlon from around 1972-1974 in their vaults...

bboy87 said:

Tito's is from 72 on the MoWest label. Marlon's was from 73'when he started to get parts in songs "Mama, I Got a Brand New Thing" and Corner of the Sky" and "It All Begins and Ends With Love."

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I dont believe that for one moment.

dreamfactory313 said:

you shouldn't because it ain't true

Here's Tito performing with the Barkays

bboy87 said:

In a LIFE magazine book I have which has a picture of the all the Jackson kids
They mixed Rebbie up as the mother - Katherine Jackson! and mixed Marlon up for Randy! WTF? It can't be that hard to know their names! and a few magazines I've looked at that are in tribute for MJ mixed up a lot of their names!
