Jermaine is the star!! Don't you forget it. (insert sarcastic look) Who cares about Jackie, Tito or Marlon! Why were they even in the group...why was MJ even in the group?? It shoulda just been called 'the Jermaine 5.' Its all about him and Halima! (sarcasm)

Now 'Let me get serious' and get out of this thread

Yeah, I remember that. She was trying out for a spot on the show. She didn't seem like the brightest bulb in the box and spoke in monotone. The others on the panel were saying some unkind things about Michael and she laughed along nervously.


I'm liking Jackie, Tito, and Marlon. Jerm makes my skin crawl, though.

Oooo Tito was getting sexy lastnight.. hahaha

Ok, does Jermaine really think he can replace Michael? Now someone told him I love you, and he said I love you more.. Now those were Michael's words.

He needs to take some of that grease off his hair...

I don't think Jermaine wants to "replace" MJ in any way. He just wants a chance to shine. THroughout his whole career, he has been overshadowed by Mike and Janet and he and his wife feel that this is his opportunity to shine.

daPrettyman said:

Perhaps you are right!

sag10 said:

BTW, I agree Jermaine needs to do something with that Max Headroom wig he's working.

daPrettyman said:

At his age, it takesa certain level of TALENT 2 shine and he does NOT have it.
He needs 2 wake the hell up.

I'm not going to jump on the "I can't stand Jermaine Jackson" bandwagon just yet. Half of this reality show shit is scripted anyway, so Jermaine is playing that role of "hellraiser"

While I will admit that he has "diva" ways, don't get it twisted that he is the only brother who's like that. Jermaine, Michael, and Randy were the "divas" and/or most spoiled, difficult, whatever you want to call it, in the group. Jackie, Tito and Marlon are the brothers that goes with the flow.

People are talking about Jermaine trying to steal the spotlight and take Michael's place. For one, Jermaine was the lead singer from the beginning and he was the lead singer on the Jackson's last recorded album, so it's only natural that he takes the place as lead singer. Plus, second to Michael, he's vocally the most talented of the brothers if not him, then who? Marlon?

I will give Jermaine credit for something, at least he has a track record of success compared to the living brothers. No he's not Michael and never will be, he made his mark in music as well as well as contributing to the success of other artist like Switch, Debarge family, Whitney Houston, Stephanie Mills, he was responsible for getting Michael on Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me.

Jackie has this record label, but who has he put on..nobody. Marlon had a okay album in the 80s but that was it. Randy had a great opportunity to branch out and make great music but he failed. Tito got my respect because he's into the blues and jazz.

First... Damn Tito's chick was a butterface!

Marlon's grandkids are cute, but his daughter Valencia strikes me as a little odd. Everytime I've heard her talk, it's like she's struggling with her words

Siggy and Jackie have a real good relationship. They have totally different personalities

Jermaine.....when Halima said "You never speak up, you always bite your tongue" I was like "Are you sure you talkin' about YOUR husband?!"

Actually, everyone who has worked with Michael claims he is very kind, easy to work with (but a perfectionist) and is NOT a diva (just ask Akon).

HOWEVER, Michael was doing his brothers A BIG FAVOR by doing albums and performing with them (something his siblings never understood) and, therefore, wanted to call the shots. Since he was doing them a favor, since he didn't benefit NOTHING from working with them, at least he wanted things to go his way. Since he was working FOR his brothers, since he was delaying his career in order to put money in his siblings' bank accounts, at least he wanted to boss. Nothing more natural. But, despite the fact that they were completely using Michael and were dependent on him, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie, Randy and Marlon still wanted things to go their way, still wanted to call the shots, still wanted to boss. That's why Michael was difficult for them: because he didn't allow himself to be 100% used and abused. The most famous and successful person on Earth still had to share concerts with his brothers (remember the Victory Tour? Remember its purpose? I'll help you: Michael didn't even want to do it, he did it for his brothers)! But, despite that fact, his brothers STILL wanted to call the shots. Even though Michael was fdoing them a favor, they still wanted things to go their way.

Interestingly enough: Why does everybody who worked with Michael (apart from his brothers who think he is their slave and should be grateful for that and do exactly what they want) claims he is an amazing, easy-going, humble person?
WHY?

Diva? Jermaine was more than that, honey. That I can guarantee you and there's a reason as to why pratically nobody can't stand him.

No sir. Randy is distancing himself away from his family, mainly his older brothers.

Timmy84 said:

Something he should have done during the trial, by the way. I think everyone knows what happened when he was Michael's manager.

daPrettyman said:

seems overly shiny to me

Oops...wait! Valencia? The one who claimed Michael's relationship with 3t wasn't that innocent? Ahhh! I hope her former husband gives her a pain in the ass!

bboy87 said:

I KNOW!!! I can sell her some Avon Anew to clear up that acne problem she has. She looks like a pizza face!



Valencia sounds like a typical "valley girl" to me. She seems sweet, though. Now, she was a bit choked up, so she may have a personality and voice similar to Latoya.


You know, it sounded like their personalities were too much alike is the reason they butt heads. Not to mention he seems to be the roughneck Jackson.


She does seem to feed his ego!

BklynBabe said:

Maybe I should have said "simmer" (like MJ did in This is It).

When Michael first died, I actually thought Jermaine was hurt more than the rest of the family but his real intentions were really showing through last night. He wants to be a star and is trying to use the timing after his brother's death to become one.

And if you notice last night, all he kept talking about was "trying to get a hit" with the record. That was his only concern was getting a hit. Well, these days, a hit is shit. The song the guy had for Jackie was waaaaay better sounding than the one that Jimmy and Terry had been working on which sounded like a shitty shit hop mess. I would actually buy the one the guy had picked out for Jackie (if they don't ruin it before they record it) but I wouldn't touch that Jam and Lewis track with a ten foot pole.

vainandy said:

I'll never forget what Teddy Riley said about Jermaine. "He desperately wants to become famous, a star." and "He is so consumed by jealously, he is so desperate to become a star, he is obsessively desperate with becoming the number one Jackson, the star..."

How many hits is someone who has not recorde an album in YEAR going 2 get?
In addition, the guy is damn near 60.

vainandy said:

Jimmy and Terry didn't do anything but talk to them and didn't have any songs together. They don't work that way. Try "interview" their artists first then write for them.

Graycap23 said:

Jermaine hasn't released an album since 91 or 92 (his LaFace album). It was a really good album for the time, but he should know that he is not relevant to the music scene anymore. He should just focus on making a solid album and not a hit.

Well, whatever song that was they were working on in that first episode that got erased sounded absolutely horrible. That song last night sounded pretty decent.

daPrettyman said:

Do you know how many times Jermaine has married? Anyone knows?

The last thing I bought of his was the "Dynamite" 45 and even it wasn't up to par with his Motown stuff from the early 1980s.

*laughing my ass off*

Priceless! She is so cheesy, so talentless, so deluded, so corny, so ridiculous...that she becomes amazingly entertaining!
Doesn't Latoya realize how ridiculous she is?

I can't believe Prince (according to Latoya) once fell in love with this corny-deluded human being!
BTW, does she even realize she's too old to be dressing like a hooker? Does she even realize her laugh is simply outrageously stupid (hear her laughing in the Big Brother promo!)? Oops...I guess it was Jack Gordon's fault. Wait, the fact that she is deluded, corny, talentless, cheesy, ridiculous and laughable is also Jack Gordon's fault, OK?

We all love Latoya, don't we?

Her laugh is so stupid in this video! But it's, OBVIOUSLY, Jack Gordon's fault!

He married 4 times. Three of them ended because his wives realized he had 110996542636 mistresses and couldn't care less about his own kids. I guess his current wife sees through her ass.
Poor Jermaine. Always being bullied by Michael's fans. They actually think Jermaine is obsessively jealous of Michael. Ridiculous! Besides, what's wrong with a man having hundreds of mistresses? What's wrong with a man not giving two shits about his sons? Every man does that, don't they? People just need to leave Jermaine alone!
