In Jermain's defense, nobody saw Michael Jackson coming. He took the world by storm in a way that had never been done before. Michael's extra hard work paid off. He totally took advantage of every opportunity he had. That's why Michael Jackson became the greatest entertainer of all time.

@@alecaquino4306 you pretty much just said the same thing I just said.

The most interesting aspect of the Motown 25 reunion was that Michael sang Billie Jean. That is not a Motown song. It was Michael Jackson’s way of rubbing it into Berry Gordy’s face, in effect saying “See what we have done after we left Motown?” Berry Gordy wouldn’t let them produce their own music while at Motown and their relationship with that label ended in a bitter lawsuit. Michael agreed to do the reunion if he could perform his own non-Motown song. Now THAT was badass!

There’s a lot to be said of why Jermaine didn’t blow up like Michael and Janet…less drive, womanizing, loyalty to Motown, envy etc but I believe the single biggest piece missing was a producer that could focus and expand his talents. He was missing his Quincy Jones/Jam Lewis. Nobody can say where MJ and JJ legacy would be today had they not had great producers at precise times in their lives but I guarantee not as large

Yes. Berry Gordy was so focused on one person that he missed out. Jermaine and Michael were the most popular members when came to fan reaction. Plus there's Randy waiting in the wings. Three possible lead singers. He should have explored that possibility. The Temptations have had four different members sing lead. They were multi dimensional in that aspect. The J5 were basically one dimensional with Michael handling the majority lead vocals and all the single hits .

Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin' is an amazing song. Both Jermaine and MJ deliver stellar vocal performances. It's my favorite duet of both artists. So glad they performed it together on the Victory Tour.

Jermaine was a good singer but Michael was born to perform. That’s the difference and what sets him apart from many artists. He could move a room

I think what sets apart the likes of Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, The Bee Gees, Elvis, and Paul McCartney from their peers is that not only they have such an amazing musical talent, but they also possess a producers mindset, instinct and salesmanship that enables them not only to creates a good song but also how to market and elevates those songs and if needed, hire the best people to help them as the result they could achieve that nearly impossible point when marketability meets quality

Jermaine had modest success just as Michael started his Off the Wall success, and if Michael didn’t hit mega success, Jermaine would have had more staying power..Michael completely overshadowed him…. It’s amazing Janet was available crave out a successful career…

The difference between Michael and Jermaine is simple: talent. Michael's talent not only made the difference between him and Jermaine, but it also made the difference between him and all other artists.

Jermaine's biggest weakness was his ultra ego and self absorbing persona. His version of saying he felt his brothers left him for Epic Records is utter rubbish because his own wife advised him to follow his brother's, but he was obsessed to be a mega solo artist. He underestimated his father in law, Berry Gordy, who had no desire to make him great, but to control him. By the time he left Motown, he had missed out on so many of the Jacksons string of hits from their Destiny and Triumph albums. Jermaine had the wrong production team around him after his brothers transformed with the music times of the 70's to disco funk.

Jermaine should have left Motown when his brothers left. Motown was unable to adapt with the changing times and seemed to be stuck in its golden era of the 1960s. When Jermaine finally accepted the fact Motown was holding him back and decided to leave it was too late for him to gain a foothold in a market Michael had already put a flag in. However, I think Jermaine could have broken through if he had managed his solo career better, built his own image, instead of falling into the trap of copying Michael which did nothing but label him as a discount clone.

He's an ok bassist. His vocal range was limited, but he could have done so much more with better producers and challenging his vocal range. Listen to Brothers Johnson and tell me Jermaine couldn't have sung "I'll Be Good To You" & "Strawberry Letter 23" and sung them with ease if he added a little bit more soul to his style. He could not play the bass nowhere near as well as Luis Johnson but he could have tried a little harder, damn. He and the other brothers didn't really try to develop their individual sound and that's why that ship sailed long ago. Janet did well while Michael was doing his damn thing. They depended too heavily on Michael. If he wasn't trying to pull them up, he wouldn't have been doing those Pepsi commercials with them. Which was the beginning of the end for MJ. After Motown 25 they rode his fame until he cut them off. And because they depended on him, they were lost and dropped from their label after 2300 Jackson Street their last album. That Motown contract was horrible and they should have been financially set for life. Jackie is 70 and still touring and they sound horrible without MJ. Shame they can't do what Journey did without MJ fans losing their minds.

Jermaine's intention was never to compete with Michael. He had family ties, married with hazel Gordy, that forced him to stay in Motown when the Jacksons signed with Epic Records, and the best way to keep singing was pursuing a solo career. I think "Do what you do" and the duet with Pia Zadora are the pinnacle of his solo career.

One of the main reasons why Jermaine did not thrive like Michael Jackson apart from envy was because he tried to be another mj instead of being himself.Even till date, he still sings mj songs, dresses like mj and a lot of people noticed these things. What worked for someone else might not work for you. Janet was successful too because she focused on her own talents instead of copying mj. That is just the difference.

This is partly why the artists on the label, including The Jackson 5, started having dwindling sales due to lack of focus and attention.

If I were alive from the time of the start of The Jackson 5 first entered the music world and was able to listen to Michael grow up through the years from his songs Along with his brothers, I would have been able to tell anyone after hearing the songs: Michael’s 1973 solo ‘Call on Me and The Jacksons 1976 Let Me Show You The Way To Go’ that Michael Jackson was going to most likely become the biggest breakthrough singer in the world and change the course of music forever. For me, those were the only songs I could hear Michael’s subliminal vocal tone with superb diction, colossal control, and projection. It was a stupendous falsetto sound I fear the human race may never come to hear again.

I wouldn’t exactly call this a battle. Michael swept the floor with him decade after decade. Jermaine never stood a chance.

Против Майкла ни у кого не было шанса и уж тем более у его братьев! Майкл был номером один в мировой индустрии, ему не было равных! Он легенда!

Forgive me, the audience, no matter how dressed Jermaine, but he will never catch up with Michael in the Voice and in the dance.

I agree totally with you

That wasn’t no rivalry that wasn’t even close.

I'm sorry but this is not even a contest. It's been a while since I heard Jermaine singing but if memory serves his voice wasn't even close to Michael's level nor was his charisma. Michael had the "it" factor times 1,000. Did Jermaine even have the ability to dominate the stage the same way? Nope. Sometimes you need to just accept your limitations.

Yes, this is true. MJ was a one of a kind Superstar and a kind hearted loving person. I love MJ❤

Thanks !

I love you Michael Jackson!!! You are the best!!! Forever MJ!!!❤

Jermaine could ever come close to Michael Jackson.

You should’ve added how jermaine told Michael thriller would flop lmao.

One of my favorite J5 songs led by Jermaine was (Mama)I Found a Girl. Outstanding song, the background was amazing by the brothers.🎶🎶

Not taking anything away from Jermaine Jackson. He was a great singer, and guitarist. However, Michael Jackson had something that Jermaine Jackson didn't have,..... charisma.

People always trying to divide family members especially the outsiders

Infelizmente, essa família já era dividida há muito tempo, começando pelo pai monstro de Michael Jackson, que o deixou com sérios problemas psicológicos.

Jermaine was not only a good vocalist, but an above average bassist!

I love M.J.❤ for all time and i'll looking for him❤ far away in a better place, just needing to hold his hand❤fly high great King of Hearts ❤❤❤

This feels like a cliffhanger! Seems there's more to be told! Jermain always blamed MJ, for him not being as successful in his music career. I felt Jermaine didn't work as hard and it seems, all he thought he had to do was sing. No my dear brother,you need a focus point, image,jestets,dancer's, women and although your was nice. Vocals training was a must. MJ simple put,did the work!

All Jermaine needed was a a Good Producer after The brothers left Motown.

Ele se casou com a filha do dono da Motown, foi amor ou interesse em facilitar a sua carreira como artista solo?

Saw the Victory tour in Jacksonville, FL in the 80s when I was a kid! Still one of the best concerts of my life.

Here it is, the classic sibling rivalry to see who can do better than the other.

Sentimos saudades! 🌟

I’m a huge fan of this legendary family 🤗 they all were talented 💪🏾 Michael was more in the spotlight and career took off 🔥 but we love and respect them all the same🎶👏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽

I'm so glad I was born in Detroit. The Jackson 5 used to record at what's now called Hitsville U.S.A. My dad used to put on VHS tapes of Michael Jackson: The Legend Continues, Moonwalker, and Dangerous: The Short Films for me and my big brother. But my dad is not from Detroit.

Can’t wait for the Victory Tour Documentary between Michael and his brothers that’s gonna be good

Here they go again on rivalry. Same thing they did with MJ and Prince, putting them in a box against each other. Just like Prince said in an interview there was no rivalry between him and Michael. Matter fact there is an interview with Lenny Kravitz saying the 3 of them where friends. Lenny said him and Prince would go to MJ concert and wait backstage for the 3 of them could hangout. Between the media, tabloids and others are putting them against one another. Now I can believe there was some jealousy on Jermaine side at one point.

Michael Jackson never really liked Prince. He saw him as competition and morally beneath him. Prince was more just indifferent to him (and a lot of performers really) and I think that really would rub Jackson’s ego the wrong way.

Jermaine's dedication was phenomenal. Decade after decade he didn't give up. 😮

There was no battle. Jermaine is talented and he had his share of hits. Its his fault that he didn't punch through with more solo efforts. Its not even reasonable to call Michael 'competition'. There was none. Since they were very young and just starting out it was clear to all that Michael was the cornerstone of the Jackson 5. When you're touched by God that way there's just no question about it. After Off The Wall there could have been no doubt that MJ had outgrown the group. Thriller moved MJ into a whole other league. He had no competition at all. His 'BAD' follow up was also mega mega but got no love from the media or the award shows. I love them all, but the Dangerous album is the most special to me. It has my favorite song 'Will you Be There'. That song is STILL my favorite because it resonates on many levels...especially spiritually. There's just nothing else at all that compares in any way to it, and it's why, in my mind, MJ stands out forever as uniquely the best.

Everyone talks about how fine Michael used to be before he started messing with his face but I had no idea how gorgeous Jermaine was! Woooow! Her was absolutely beautiful. Black people of that era really should have never gone under the knife. I don’t think doctors ever really figured out what to do with us until late 90s or early 2000s. They’d just put tiny white doll noses on our faces and it never really fit. Tho, MJ’s first nose job was nicely done. Janet’s was never right. Latoya and Jermaine both look crazy.

Safe to say Jermaine lost that battle... but "Don't Take It Personal" is my song
