You wanna be jackson 4 should be ashamed. Yes you had big hits from motown, but who was the lead singer in all the songs. Where are your dancing skills at. Jermaine your the worst. Whatever you get your 15 min of fame from your dead brother who is probly turning in his grave to see this stuff that has been going on. Micheal Jackson is dead now lets all cash in. I want to see A & E's contract. Where they going to pay Michael for using his name as well? Did they changed the contract when he died to pay his children for this show.I'm glad Katherand is in charge of the childern's well being. I was scared when I seen them in the press when that wasn't how they were raised, but she seems to be tghe only one who isn't cashing in. No wonder why he hated his father and brothers. Jermaine I hope you bring up the song you wrote about Michael "WORD TO THE BAD". Let eveyone know how upset you were for not being michael jackson. I hope you guys are happy. Your brother is dead and now you can make
Make your couple dollars. Whats so funny is Michael fixed all you buy pre recording songs and writing them, but not one of you are in the will. Just your mother and his kids. I guese I was wrong though. None of you loved him. If you did you wouldn't be in the press so much geting all your pinnies for talking about your late brother. GOD bless you sorry brother's and go join your sorry father in his lable deal he was talking about the day after his son died. Just remember Jermaine it was you who introduced Michael to Islam and DR. Conrad Murry. Maybe you should be in the investagation of Michaels death. Or what what if Michael knew about this and took it upond his self to end this sad life of his and blame you Jermaine. I'm sad about his death, but happy that he is in peace now and not dealing with all you guys. Remember everyting you did he got sued for. Please just don't sink to low when your fame is up and go after his children to profit. I bet Jermaine will have his own show later.
these are some weird people. my only guess is that they needed some money. Now people know why Michael called them a bunch of whiney babies.
I have more sympathy for Michael after seeing how his father and his brothers behaved after his death. Obviously Michael wasn't loved by his own family, may be except Katherine, Janet, and his own three children. Michael worked hard all of his life so he could support his lazy father and brothers. And I agree with Tasha, Michael often got sued for things that his father and brothers did, such as signing up for reunion tour/concerts behind his back. Good thing is Michael is forever at peace now, moonwalking in heaven, surrounded by angels the way he liked to picture himself. I do worry about his children, because Michael's money-hungry family will no doubt be after these poor kids for money.
Tasha you are sick
I think the show is great ,they guys showed the real side of thier life and love as brothers,this is an inpiration for all family accross the world,the godd thing also they are not stuck on any color issue.
Also I am patiently awiating for POPS( Joe Jackson) to get some credit,yes he was tough,but he and Mrs Jacson did a great job,I know it was not easy in those days for a poor black man to stay with his wife and kids.
Micheal should have never went solo
No actually, tasha's the only real one here. Although i think she's being a tad bit harsh about the relationship between their brothers. They loved each other Tasha, although it wasnt perfect. Imagine the jealously they felt their whole lives at Michael..
To be honest.. his story is the perfect story of the American Dream, and everything corrupt and ****ked up about it
tash ur wrong in so many ways. im sure the rest of the jackson brothers miss michael dearly. u dnt kno anything about wat really happened so dnt just throw the blame on the brothers. i love the jackson5 very much & congrats wit ur new show <3
Isn't there a brother missing (Randy) where is he.
The show allows us fans to see how the Jacksons really are and what I saw is that Jermaine Jackson likes too much attention and maybe was jealous of his brother Michael Jackson. His behaviour comes across as if he is using this opportunity to get the spotlight Michael always has.
But the show is awesome otherwise. If Michael was in it, it would be a bigger hit though.
I thought the show was great and im glad that your family have decided to come out with this stick together because your family and no one can break that bond unless you allow them GOD is still in contol one guestion wear is randy
I loved the show. It put to rest a lot of rumors that the press has put out. Although Micheal was the biggest star in the family, this show showed that each brother had has on career. Being famous does not make you better than anyone else so people should stop trying to make the brother less valuable than Michael. I sure that their family has problems like the rest of us and they argue just like the rest of us (example Word to the Bad). But the rest of us is not in the spotlight. To everyone have an open mind and remember that this is Michaeals family that you are critizing and that they are still in morning.
im one of the jacksons 5 biggest fan and i have met your brother micheal in the 70's in san fransico at the fishermans wharf your whole family was there i happen to have seen your speacial tonight and i wondered what happen to randy?
I think that the show was great and showed that the Jacksons are real people with real feelings. I too am from a large family and even though everyone does not always agreeor get along, we love each other and will always be family first no matter what.
the show was awesome, but i still miss michael very much. love u michael.
I thought the show was wonderful and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Where is Randy ? I will be watching the show.
I thought the show was ok. Would have liked to have seen more of what will be going on, rather than the arguing of why one of brothers weren't at some meeting. They do need to pull together, as they say, they are family! Something is missing that would make them great again. Would be exciting to see them pull together with their sister's singing voices. They can still be the 'Jackson 5'.
I didn,t watch the show yet . I hope it,s not bad that would break my heart. I really don,t wanna see a bunch of cashing in jealous brothers.
ancia: YEA THERE MORNING ALRIGHT. RIGHT IN THE THE TV CRYING LIKE BABYS. I KNOW ALL FAMILYS HAVE PROBLEMS, BUT IT IS BECAUSE OF MICHAELS FAME WHY HE WAS TREATED BADLY BUY HIS FAMILY. ALL OF YOU SHOULD KNOW HE WENT YEARS WITHOUT SPEAKING TO HIS FAMILY. YES THEY WERE THERE FOR HIM DURING THOUGH TIMES, BUT HOW MANY TIMES WAS HE THERE FOR THEM WHEN THEY NEEDED ANOTHER MILLION TO PAY OFF A HOME OR HAVE ANOTHER PARTY. EVEN HIS DAD CALLED FOR MILLIONS. SO ALL OF YOU WHO SAY IM HARSH BECAUSE HE WAS IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND ALL FAMILY'S HAV PROBLEMS.WELL THE MORE MONEY AND FAME THE BIGGER PROBLEMS!!!!!!!
Let them enjoy the sweat of their bro, poor damn bros, but interesting question would be how has each one of them been irkin a living before angel Mikey's death..
I watched the show. It confirmed my suspicsion that they are trying to gain fame and money from the unfortunate loss of their brother. The bickering over doing two new songs shows me that without MOTOWN writers and Michael's charisma, they would not have been. I was shocked to hear them say that all of Michael's succeess was born of the Jackson 5. Sorry. I think that MJ wanted out of the control of his father and his mother pushed him to support the brother's need to succeed as their hits waned. Michael is missed. I see the show as an attention getter for greedy no talent brothers. They can sing their hits. Like on Rock &Roll Hall of Fame. Those older stars are not out creating new careers. Looks like it will flop like the Victory Tour. And I don't think Michael would like to see Jermain praying to Allah. That is his thing. Not part of MJ's legacy. The less I see of the brother's the better. I would like to know that his mother, Janet,LaToya, and his children are fairing well.
sad why you have to show all those clips on his death .with all do respect the world understands very well the world loved Michael . it.s the brothers that don.t understand Michael read our hearts and bring to light all our dreams . many people in Michael.s generation grew up looking for love , the racial bull crap,why do you think the people related to Michael he sang and spook out the cry of all our hearts . Michael knew it was more than just music and a show Michael understood and prepared and prefected the gift God gave him .it,s always been about the message LOVE .AND turning the hearts of fathers to the children and the hearts of children to the fathers lease this earth be smite with a curse. that why Michael when through everything he did.the man and message are one.how is it that you,s don,t get it being you were raised with him.Because prophets get no honor in there own house .they stone the prophets .we knew who he was and we know the lost of him .you ,s don,t understand sad.
and will know he is gone. and those kids have been to way to many bury services for their dad and your showing clips from news reports on his death . when you gonna leave those children heal and stop opening up there wounds. Michael was more than a pop star to the world he was the heart cry of the world for love and peace .he is not just a icon to us he was are voice are heart and soul our cry and he listen and heard our hearts and sang it out why do you think we supported him. why we defend him why we don.t like him being used for self gain.you really have no clue .why he was the biggest artist in the world . a man s gift will make room for him it will take him before kings . to speak the heart of the people and the people will support their voice and the people will know the sound of that voice because their born of the same spirit.he may be your flesh and blood and that should be a priviage to you but there,s and army on this earth that heard the sound and will heal this world.
this show was horrible. it was exploitation at its finest. they are using mjs death as a steping stool to get into the spot light. they should be ashamed. no normal family would ever do this to their loved one who died. but when your brother is michael jackson you have free range to use his popularity as ur own when hes not around.
i dont want to say mj is rolling in his grave but im sure he is slightly questioning the intentions of his brothers.
andy by the way u have got to be kidding about joe getting credit for being an ass. becuz of him michael suffered from emotional psychological problems....this does not make him crazy. but this is one of the reasons he was so different. joe wanted money and he saw his kids as being the only talent to get him to the millions him and his own band could not make. i believe the family is taking this whole thing too far. I really hope that michaels kids and janet and katherine are all doing well. this must be a hard time and im not too sure if this show was such a great idea this early. if i lost my sister i would still be mourning and crying. 6 months is not enough time.
This show will last 2 hot minutes. The Jacksons had 3 children out of the clan WITH TALENT. Let's be real. Those three were Michael, Janet and Germaine. The others were part of the family that rode the coatails of the three. Michael, was the superstar, never to be equalled. He was indeed majic, and I enjoyed all of the brothers when they first hit the music scene, but folks, be real, when you get to the age the brothers are now, they need to ask the old folks say " go somewhere and set down" (yes, I mean set, not sit.) No one wants to see them beebopping across the stage, not even their kids. God bless them all, Mom and Pop Jackson did an awesome job, but with the exception of Janet, Jackson 4 guys go on and sit down! And for those of you asking about Randy, what role did he EVER play in their fame? Clearly he has gone and sat down!
use the message not Michael . he left you the message with the message you,ll get a sound . you guys are hopeless .the right sound will bring a voice and support.the message is the real legacy . don,t be jealous just do what Michael DID. he left the kids his estate and you guys the message use it and you,ll make your owe way to the top. using Michael you will not get to top the people will not bare it again.because the truth will prevail that includes everyone you don.t get a pass because you family. the truth will find you out.So I hope youre motives are right and youre hearts are pure the truth will tell on you.
i have not seen the shown bt i hope it has gd has what some of the jackson fans and michael fans are saying i really want to see it bt they are not showing it on the uk yet does anyone know when they will stared showing it in the uk coz i really want to see it P.S R I P MICHAEL MY ANGEL I LOVE U WITH ALL MY HEART AND MISS U ALOT MORE THAN ANYTHING GOD BE WITH THE JACKSON FAMILY AND MICHAEL BEAUITFULL CHILDERN
I wish them LUCK, I know that's what MICHAEL would do, it was a GOOD- SHOW, but I cried alot for MICHAEL. There will never ,ever be another MICHAEL--NEVER! One of the brother's was talking about how SAD MICHAEL'S LIFE WAS/ Not being able to GO OUT,WITHOUT BEING MOBBED, BEING ACCUSED OF THING'S --LIKE MOLESTATION, WHICH HE NEVER DID & SO ON. MICHAEL was so ,so LONELY & NEEDED A FRIEND SO BADLY, HE WAS HANGING BY A THREAD---& TIME RAN OUT. I FIRMLY BELIEVE HE DIDN'T CARE ANYMORE. POOR BABY, I WISH I OR ANYONE OF HIS FAN'S COULD OF BEEN THERE FOR HIM. HIS FAN'S WOULD DIE FOR HIM & HAVE. HE WAS AN ANGEL WITH A HEART AS BIG AS THE WORLD. I AM SO SAD TODAY, AFTER WATCHING THE JACKSON'S , BECAUSE MICHAEL IS NOT THERE.HE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR HIM TO DIE LIKE HE DID. HE WAS REACHING OUT FOR HELP,BUT NOBODY CAME. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL, I WILL ALWAY'S LOVE YOU, I ONLY WISH I COULD OF BEEN THERE FOR YOU IN YOUR TIME OF NEED. I'M SO SORRY. REST IN PEACE,MY LOVE XOXO:(
they suck!!
I don't have cable.
Will I beable to get this?
Precious, shame on you. This is a Talented family with no match.
you just cant bear that.
tasha: I respect that you are a MJ fan but I think everyone is taking this Michael as an angel to far. He was a fawled man just like everyone else he is not Jesus. We don't know Michael Jackson or his family all you know is what the press print out (remember Michael says don't believe everything you read). So what does everyone suggest that they never do anything else because their brother died. I am sure that this show would have come out regardless of Michael's death. If you feel that they are profiting off of their brothers death instead of watch and critizing, turn the television station off. No one has the right to tell someone how and the proper way to grieve. We would be upset if someone told us don't cash in the insurance police you are profiting off of your families' death.
Tasha: Does everyone feel the same about Lisa Marie Presely? Who makes lots of money off of her father's death. Graceland makes a billion dollars a year but no one is protesting about that. I wonder why?

Jermaine has issues. Why is he so afraid of his wifes kisses first of all lol.
2nd he seems to be taking his "headline" role a little to serious.
Do they really think this concert is going to go over well if it happens?
Doesnt any one remember the failed attempts at a Jackson 5 reunion concert when Michael was still alive?? yeah.....that fell through also.
There well is about to run dry......We've had plenty Michael Jackson tribute concerts...i think it was a sad "for the fans" excuse to attempt to do this. I wanna hear numbers....how much are they getting paid....for the concert and from A&E....dont sit there and act like them camera's just showed up out the blue......they (captain obvious) already knew about this and thats why they agreed to the show.....all this jermain b.s is just camera filler....
and i wanna know how many of you are going to go cop that "Tito" record lmao.
PU OK you no t hat fote ras goiunj junk get hi...... poiu
what happened 2 MICHAEL really hurt me HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY KING OF POP AND I FILL and i wish michael's family good luck u all can do ur show 4r michael im watching every night i even watch the movie from when u all were younger!!!!!I loved u then and I loved u now and 4r these people that dont like michael if u dont like him dont look at him there are alot of people that do !!!!!!!!~*~*~*I LOVE U MICHAEL~*~*~*~AND I LOVE JACKSON5!!!!
PRECIOUS HOW COULD U SAY THAT ABOUT THEM LIKE THAT THEY HAVENT DONE NOT NOTHIN 2 U IF THEY SUCK U SUCK!!!!!!
The show was very interesting because you can see what a truly dysfunctional family they are. Tito looks, acts, and sounds like his father - he even says "I'm just like my father." Negative all the way and a bully. He absolutely destroyed Jermaine's confidence in the recording studio - says Jermaine is sharp - now he's flat. Jermaine finally gets a good recording and Tito and Jackie erase it - on purpose! Then they tell Jermaine he has no right to be angry because he's not "blending" with the others to sound like the old group. Mean people - Jermaine definitely has major issues - with his wife's touching and kissing him, with being very nervous and sensitive, with his hairline that looks like he colors it in with a black pencil, with his high collars and scarves - looks like he's hiding. Jermaine schedules a Tribute to MJ for the Jackson 5 in Vienna and his brothers read about it in the paper - then Jermaine wonders why they won't come and he has to cancel! They're all immature!
I watched the show which only confirmed my suspicions about these four. What in the world have they been doing all these years except living off the awesome fame and talent of their deceased brother? Jermaine can't seem to decide what to do with himself. Where did they get the money for the lifestyles they seem to be able to afford? Hope Mother is not giving them money intended for Michael's kids! Please no more of this; there will be no "concert".
I,d like to take my foot & stick it so far up joe jackson,s ass ,not even a doctor would be able to get it out. Alway,s looking to get more money off his dead son,but the court's denied him------GOOD!
ancia: there is no point of this. First of all I never said I was goin to watch the show. Y would I, so I can help the sorry jackson 4. I read this article and wrote my comment. 2nd why are u bring the kids up. If I read this right u said " tasha Does everyone feel the same about Lisa Marie Presely? Who makes lots of money off of her father's death. Graceland makes a billion dollars a year but no one is protesting about that. I wonder why? Now why would u ask that If I was old enough I would of been concerd about Lisa .I don't find anything wrong with Lisa's mother turning husbands estate into a billion dolar empire and I would same about Michaels kids. Thats there dad and they should get the money not his brothers. I bet when there 15 mn is up they will be after those kids next. I do belive Lisa should have her fathers money. why not? ISN'T THAT HER DAD. NOT HER BROTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF MICHAEL. NOW THERE SUCKING WHATS LEFT OF HIS BONES. Whatcha think about that
Also I never said Michael Jackson was a angle, but you can't say he didn't help alot of people with the money he made with his talent. No matter how flawed he was I never said I didn't love his music and drawings. Those brothers of his have been callin for a million here and there since the Victory tour ended. Oh yea they got that from papa Joe. I feel this show I WILL NEVER WATCH UNLESS IT'S ON ENT TONIGHT AS A FLOP. Lets take some bets. Who thinks there will be another show from Jermaine. 1st him and his wife than at the end maybe they will split up and there will be another show.FOR THE LOVE OF JERMAINE LMAO. Don't let me leave out the songs that are coming out from Tito and LaToya. anyone remember her ramshaking the house hous after his death. Now Ancia say something a bout how mena I am to LaToya and I will writ u tens times a day about her sorry self. The only 2 have keep there face out the publicis Katheren and Janet. U don't see them on TV every other day.
I watched the show. I think that they need to grow up and let go of the past. Forgive and Forget!!!!! They already lost a brother due to foolishness. They left him alone and look what happened. Now he is gone! Honestly, the only one that could somewhat sing was Jermaine outside of Michael (the greatest). They should do this in honor of their brother.
tasha: You are writing about people you don't even know. What evidence do you have that these things occurred except the media? Those brothers were apart of the Jackson five. It was not the Jackson 1 so they have a right to perform any songs that has to do with that group. Those brothers are apart of his family and if he was alive and needed support he would turn to them! If you remember in the movie "This is it". He called each one of his brothers and told them how much he love them along with both his mother and father name. If you think so highly of Katherine, how could you berate her children this way? Especially when she is grieving? I hope you don't have to judge anyone on judgement day.
Michael is an angel, he may never be equalled by any living being. Cant stop watching MJ Live in Bucharest. Where were them brothers when Michael needed moral boost.
ancia: I don't listen to the media, because half of what they say is wrong. I'm judging them by the words out of there mouth. Maybe you just jumped on the band wagon, but I have been watching this family for a while. I commented on them putting the funeral on there show wich I seen from the news. Im judging how they acted before his death as well as now. If its not money than why keep throwing Michael's name in it. Im thinking of the kids sorry.
ancia: Can you tell me 20yrs from now how Michaels children are going to feel after they see all this. Trust me the ten years they were alive they knew there father's feelings about his family and they knew Michael was a private man. There going to see all this stuff. There own uncle's, grandfather, and aunt looking for ways to profit from there fathers death. You will see them distance themselves just like there dad did. Your looking at how you feel. I'm looking at the whole pic.
