In the book, Jermaine's ex wife implies that the family with the exception of Michael, Janet, Marlon, Rebbie, and somewhat Tito are selfish, jealous, and golddiggers, especially Jermaine and Joe

One of the many different turns the Jackson family could have taken.


-What if they get that deal with Capitol Records in 1967?
-What if they decide to go on the Jack Frost show instead of the Motown audition in 1968?
-What if the J5 stay at Motown in 1975?
-What if Michael decides to leave his brothers after 1977?
-What is the Jacksons are let go from their CBS deal in 1978?

It leaves you with an imagination of what may have been had they decided on each of those five things. What if they had gotten with Stax?

utopia7 said:

this was cute. Thanks for sharing.

Timmy84 said:

Two things I know for sure had they gottin' with STAX.

-1. They would not have had that pop success straight of the bat like they did at Motown.

-2. STAX would have kept them in that raw form Motown had the boys get rid of by mid 1970.

Plus they would've been on a Sam & Dave tip with Isaac & David writing and producing them.

Is this really him or a dodgy cut and paste with someone else? Thoughts anyone?

Did you hear that? Around 4:13 he says something,but I can't understand it. It almost sounds like "taping",and I'm not sure.

My favorite MJ short film.

The widescreen version of this should be remastered and released on DVD like that movie "Spy Kids: 3D Adventure," or whatever it was called. That way, we would be able to watch the film on our televisions with 3D glasses and see the cool effects, like people did at Disneyland!

I remember visiting Disneyland and in one trip saw Captain EO 13 times, lol. I also to this day still have the Captain EO tshirt I bought and the Captain EO one sheet promo poster.

Really him, I have Seth Riggs audio tapes I use myself, definitely is Seth too. Speech Level Singing is his famous technique. All those warm up exercises I hear are also in the book I got.

Cool thanks for clearing it up. Just you know with youtube these days a lot of fakes around - especially of late.

Wow, that's awesome! When I went to Disneyworld when I was little, it had already been closed at Epcot (it was replaced by another 3D film in 1994). And I never got the chance to go to Disneyland before '97 to see it there either. It's amazing how long EO lasted at all the Disney parks though. It's the coolest theme park attraction ever, lol.

bboy87 said:

You forgot adulterous, abusive and in Jermaine's case a total deadbeat as a father and a poor excuse as a man!

That's the second time I've tried to watch Captain Eo, but I still don't understand anything that's happening in it.

It's interesting to see him in that one though, because his physical appearance is somewhere between the Thriller and Bad eras, and there's so very little proper footage of that "break" -period available. I'm not just referring to his skin colour or the nose, but the way he moves and his gestures are also like a mixture between Thriller and Bad material. He changed quite a lot in that regard too between those albums, but this thing sort of "fills up the gap" quite conveniently.

say how you really feel!

btw,

It's a shame that the Pepsi TV ad that utilized the Dangerous album cover imagery was not turnt into a proper music video. Had it been used for example for the single release of the title track, I think it could have been one of his best videos. Visually at least.

LOL

I believe it because imo since MJ's death Jermaine has exposed himself. Why does he keep insisting on burying Michael at Neverland when MJ himself said that the place is tainted and he never wants to go back there? He wants money and doesn't care about his brother's wishes imo. & I heard that Katherine is really passive, (I haven't read it yet myself) which again isn't surprising because how could she still be married to Joe? She needs to grow a spine. I could see when the kids were young she couldn't support herself but what is the excuse now? & speaking of the brothers I saw an interview with one of Michael's security guards from Access Hollywood which I can't find now but he said that once the brothers were at the hotel where MJ was staying looking for him. MJ told him not to tell the brothers that he was there because they kept asking him to go on tour with them and he didn't want to.

Timmy84 said:

Exactly! Their refusal to tell the truth is what creates all these silly rumors in the first place.They go around keeping all these secrets,the press finds out about it,it gets reported in the media and the Jacksons remain silent.The story doesnt die.Most of these bizarre rumors would have been forgotten years ago,if the Jacksons didn't always act as if they have something to hide.
