Me and my father just debated this. NOT most successful, success and acclaim is something else. But who's name is more recognizable to the general public?

I'm interested what the org thinks.

Joey Lawrence.

Well Jermaine had great success with the Jackson 5 and did well in his solo career, he definitely has a bigger fanbase, but I think maybe Latoya is still more famous. She's more infamous than famous actually but she's well known nonetheless.

I'm going with Latoya ftw!

Latoya has an advantage in the reality TV circuit in the USA & UK. She was the first of the Jackson siblings to go that route.

But musically, Jermaine is definitely the most famous. He was the secondary lead vocalist of the Jackson 5 right back Michael. He also had a r&b/soul solo career. He also a member of The Jacksons for the Victory album AND tour, as well as the 2300 Jackson Street album.

Since you specified "famous not successful", it's a tie. Actually, it depends on where you go in the world. The Jackson 5 is known all over the world, so Jermaine has the upper hand over Latoya, but he will always be trumped by Michael for the simple reason that they're brothers. Now you could say the same about Latoya and her sister, but she has a more infamous reputation, with the allegations about Joe and Michael, forced or not and now she's the voice of justice for Michael because she was the one who first said he was murdered. I don't blame her entirely, trust me I heard the stories, but she is the main reason the family is looked at in the media as dysfunctional.

Tito is more famous than both. He's always the butt of Jackson jokes.

Im pretty sure that anyone in the world who knows Jermaine also knows LaToya. They are both pretty famous. Im gonna say its a draw. Afterall this is the most well known show business family in the world.

Wrong. The Jacksons are consider dysfunctional because of Joseph getting carried away with the spankings and going too far with the verbal abuse.

Latoya jackson is more famous, people want to see latoya. She is so interesting and my top favorite jacksons. I want her to have a reality show. Just following her around. Latoya should have branched off into tv/movies/shows instead of music, she had the personality for it

I'dlike to say Jermaine.

Stoney.

I think it's jermaine, everyone recognizes him on tv or jokes about him online these days, but I agree it's also cause of being the second most famous of the jackson 5. Jermaine is the second Jackson I ever heard of after Michael when I was really young.

I think Latoya may be known overseas better than North America, but that's just me.

What's it matter, FameJunkie318?

I think these covers settle the argument:

LaToya, for all the wrong reasons.

Verne Troyer would agree with you. And he is the most famous Latoya-fan ever.

Jermaine has that alien symbiote attached to his head but Latoya has her boobies and did Playboy.

Boobies win! Latoya is the more famous of the two more obscure Jacksons!

Jermaine used to be the more famous of the two, but Latoya with all her craziness and drama in the last 20 or so years has surpassed him at this point

I heard Jermaines hair signed a deal with BET for a reality show.

No I heard it signed a book contract.

I've reach a decision.

Based on the facts AND opinions from everyone, I dare to say that as of 2010, Latoya Jackson is more famous than Jermaine Jackson, which also means that THIS same Latoya Jackson (aka Breasts) has earn the responsibilities that goes with being the 2nd best Jackson alive right after THE best Jackson alive which is Janet Jackson (aka Booty).

Rest In Peace to Michael Jackson. Case dismiss.

I heard it signed a 3 movie deal with Paramount.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

It kind of reminds me of Venom from Spiderman 3.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

And the first movie would be titled Jermainator.

Timmy84 said:

Ad his 2nd movie, "Jermaine's Gonna Git U Sucka!"

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Third movie would have to be Jermaine's Juice.
