your first jackson family encounter?

When and where was the first time you saw a member of the jackson family and how did you feel at the time?

Michael in concert. Then Michael a whole bunch of times (probably about 10 in total). I brushed shoulders with Tito and Rebbie once on a red carpet and saw Katherine and Jackie at a Gladys Knight concert. I think that's it.

I said hi to Jermaine and his wife Halima Rashid at the Walmart strore in Woodland Hills, CA in early 2009. Jermaine looked relieved, as did she, after I neither asked for an autograph nor probed with questions. I looked back at them and proceeded to finish my shopping. It must be one of his favorite stores because I saw him again (by himself) around 2011 entering that same Walmart.

When I first worked with Janet(my childhood crush) on the short lived defunct TV sitcom "A New Kind Of Family"...She was just as beautiful & humble then as she is now....

Seeing Rebie on stage back in the 80's was surreal. Last year, I briefly saw the brothers when they were on tour rehearsing & later met and took pictures with them. I was always a fan of the family. I grew up on their music, yet didn't expect to be so excited when I met them, but I really was! I made an embarrassing faux pas though.

I was about to take the picture, but had the overwhelming desire to hug them, starting with Jermaine who was right next to me. Then, Marlon and Jackie. Then it occurred to me that I was taking up their time as other fans waited so, I didn't hug Tito. I didn't think anything of it, but the guys began laughing as if I didn't want to hug him! I was so embarrassed! I just said "oh, no!" Because it wasn't a diss! And I went over and hugged Tito. I just thought that they wanted to get on with the pic and here I was being some fanatic, taking up their time.

Oh, and Jermaine is much taller than I thought. I always thought Jackie was tallest but Jermaine is. I'm 5'8" and even in heels he was taller than me.

The Unity Tour in Manchester earlier this year. It was a great show. Happier than a pig in doo-doo, I was. :-D

But I don't really 'do' the whole celeb worship thing, so I didn't chase them for an autograph afterwards or anything. Didn't even buy a T-shirt. Meh.

But it's certainly not worship if meeting prince right?

Thanks for sharing. I've seen 5 members of the family, but not Michael though it nearly happened a few times

I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!
