The Jackson Family is a big joke. the four brothers trying to come up with something after all of these years is truly sad.Michael was one of a kind. eventho he changed the way he looked. that in itself was unique. the other brothers are old and ugly and I just can’t imagine what MJ would have looked like had he not changed. the length of time it has taken them to come up with just one record, MJ would have producted alblums, videos, and anything he wanted. they are in their 50’s singing ABC’s. they need to get some 9 to 5 gigs.

I personally like the show because it is not often that we get to see a talented, African-American family! It let’s me know they are human and like every other family. We have our differences, but we are still family. However; it is very disturbing that none of them have black wives or girlfriends. It is sad and they don’t even realize it is just a form of self-hatred.
Jackie is compassionate, loving and a wonderful person. I love Marlon’s humor, stability and how family-oriented he is. Tito possesses a lot of the father’s characteristics, which is not bad at all. He is firm, yet, loving and caring which is a great combination.
Jermaine, on the other hand is very vain, shallow, selfish and lacks self-confidence. He needs a woman to validate him and that is so feminine. He acts like a 12 year old and needs counseling! I get tired of looking at Halima on the show and everywhere he goes! He would not have a black woman on the show like that. It really just shows his true character. He couldn’t handle being alone and has his balls caught up in her purse!!! She is not pretty to look at and neither was Tito’s girlfriend. All in all, they love their children and are there for them, love and respect their parents which are very admirable qualities.
It is sad that such a beautiful, talented, black family are so enamored with other skin colors.
I have to give credit to Joe and Katherine. I loved Michael; he was a musical genius and gave us talent beyond our imagination. It is so sad that he couldn’t ever live a normal life or ever be true to who he really was. It would have been nice if he had fathered children of his own race, but his children are beautiful and I recognize every race is a precious gift from the Heavenly Father.
You don’t see a lot of white men marrying black women. Our men are going to have to wake up and get it together!!!

To the person that wished Jermaine dead, you should be ashamed of yourself. Please remember that there was a group called the Jackson 5 of which these four brothers plus Michael were a part of. This is what catapulted them to fame; they are all talented. However, Michael was blessed with more. The brothers are not capitalizing on his death, and these brothers are not broke by any means. They are about family. The point that they always drive home in interviews is that at the end of the day the Jacksons are a family. If you are such a fan of Michael Jackson, why would you call his family ugly? They come from the same mother and father. If you are such a fan of Michael Jackson, why would you wish someone in his family dead? Shame on you. A lot of so called fans fail to remember that Michael and his brothers (Jackson 5) were famous for many, many years before Michael went solo. The Jackson 5 have the albums and awards to prove it. If you love Michael so much, I don’t think he would be too pleased to know that you said such ugly things about his family. As someone mentioned earlier, they have lost of loved one but they have to go on, and this series was taped well before Michael’s death. Please let’s learn to have compassion for others.

I am glad that the brothers are re-uniting and happy to see them healthy and productive ppl. I don’t see why ppl have a need to hate on them. They are legends. Think of all the hits they had — ABC, Dancing Machine, I Want You Back, Never Can Say Goodbye, Can You Feel It, the list goes on. I loved all of them–especially FINE Jackie and cool, low-key Tito. (Tito quietly is one of the best guitarists pop has ever seen but never got his due! Check out his solo on This Place Hotel. Awesome) I think due to their musical dedication, familial bonds and unity, they are owed a bit more respect.

Sincerely,
A Real J5 Fan

I find it very interesting that no one even mentions that Randy is missing. Isn’t he also a member of the Jackson family? He also recorded and toured with the group. By the way, he also had a solo career. I find it remarkable that Randy doesn’t even get a footnote. I believe that he deserves to at least be acknowledged.

This had to be reposted!

It may make people who feel inadequate about them selves to speak ill of other poople, demean, belittle, disparage, libel, slander, repeat lies about, and discredit celebrities, yet celebrities are real people. They have feelings, and when they are mistaken enough to read things published about them like ‘the death of their brother is a godsend,’ it us upsetting and hurtful, and rubs salt in the wounds of pain they are already feeling. Life can not stop when a loved one passes, and The Jackson’s have every right to make money from the memory of Michael, which will help preserve his legacy, their son and brother. Better them than a hundred venture capitalists peddling counterfeit t- shirts and the like of Michael on streets around the world. I expect better reporting from an entertainment trade that used to be about truth and quality. I hope THR and its affiliates will use better judgement in the future.

I think its time for them to do something. I would like to see them find their own identity. The O’Jays and Isley Brothers are still performing and doing well; why can’t the Jacksons’? Oh, where is Randy ?

People don’t just stop living because a family member has died. The way the economy is, it’s a struggle for everybody in this world. Micheal just happen to be the most talented one in the group. This would be a great opportunity for the young generation to watch what this group went through We all have to survive in this world.
