Jermaine Jackson on Jealousy, Rivalry & Growing Up With Michael | In His Own Words | the detail.

They are all talented, but Michael was truly a natural born star and everyone saw it. People were immediately attracted to him and his undeniable presence. I believe they were all a little jealous. I mean who wouldn’t be. Nobody is running out looking for albums by Jermaine. Michael’s music is still selling worldwide as we speak. He was truly a phenomenon.

Michael Jackson was: unique, an original, a light to the world, a joy to watch, a legend, and simply marvelous. He can't be compared to anyone. I miss HIS Light. When Michael came on T.V. especially the Motown special, I remember my mother watching and fell in love with Billie Jean. He could capture any generation's attention. He was astounding.

[@brittanysapology9528]

What Jermaine said at @10:44 is so spot on. Hollywood definitely isolated MJ from the rest of his family and singled him out. And sure enough, he lost his mind. He was the glorious Michael Jackson, but he was extremely lonely. And it is true, if you are not apart of a tribe or a family, you are less likely to survive in the world.

[@wesdon8131]

At the end despite there being sibling rivalry (I mean there’s bound to be when your younger bro becomes one of the most biggest artists in music history lol) but at the end of the day you can see the love was still there between them

I think that despite the rivalries and the bickering, Jermaine truly respected and admired MJ'S abilities. Also, siblings argue over dumb things all the time; but it shouldn't allow a strain on your relationship. Great video from the detail. Long live the king of pop, and Jermaine. 🎉

[@ashleyjones5396]

I think people around Michael were in his ear as well. Same thing happened when Janet got big. We know Michael was hard on himself but he didn’t have people around him that truly loved him and could be honest with him. Too many “yes men” smh

[@elisageorge2261]

Yeah and Michael continued the money rolling in after J5'S era.. And I'm sure the brothers and their families lived well off of chunks of money MJ through their way.. Let's talk about that!

[@bonniemoore3461]

@@elisageorge2261 OH YEAH !! TALK !!🤣

[@sweetblaqcoffey962]

​@@elisageorge2261Let's! It is common knowledge that Jermaine and Randy were but two of several members of the family that used Mama Katherine to get Michael to give them $$$$$$ and she would do it. It frustrated Michael so much NO ONE could just pop up to Neverland. Saddest part is when Michael passed Janet and LaToya went to the house where he died grabbing money, filling garbage bags of his belongings. Basic scavenger styff. And I think you might have heard.or read about a particularly ugly time when Janet, Randy and Jermaine mobbed over to Mama K's DEMANDING to be given some of MJ's money. I will never understand Janet's participation in this extremely ugly incident as she had HER OWN money, but I do know I haven't been able to look at her the same again.

[@usmc6004]

​@sweetblaqcoffey962 , What's the big deal, my siblings ask me for $ when they need it all of the time. I am my brothers & sisters keeper period. Also when my father died of course we went to his place to clean up, gather important papers, family momentous $ etc. Family should get it not the state bottom line. Michael felt responsible to help his brothers & sisters when they were in need. There's nothing wrong with that. My problem is everyone else besides family using Michael. He had a very kind & big heart. That sometimes got him into big trouble.

[@RihaPregels]

Michael carried the Motown songs to the end of his days. This suggests that he always remembered where his career began. As for the brothers, everyone was on equal terms. It's just that Michael is a genius, a nugget, a man- music. He needed to develop and move on, which he did.

[@johnwebb2442]

Facts.

[@MsTrueTy]

Michael was a genius. He pushed the envelope not only musically but technology wise as well. He was a show man and had no problem using illusion technique like the screen to make him bigger. Clay animations in his short movies like moonwalker. Making short movies was popular back in the 40s I think so he something old fresh. Michael was a study. A forever student and kind hearted.

I say that for the Jackson brothers..and Joseph also. Nobody knows what his true pressures were. 9 living children, a young wife...in Jim crow era...working 2 steel mill jobs 16 hrs A day 6 days a week in a 2 bedroom house...all the children need and want something different everyday. No matter what tho, Joseph didn't leave Mrs. Katherine with the load. He could have went to work and kept driving to California on his own. He never left his family. Joseph did what he could to make sure his family HIS CHILDREN were successful. Ppl, men now a days can handle 1 child and a young wife in a 2 bedroom working crazy hrs because the family depends on him to provide. Most men today find ANY REASON to leave. We gotta give Joe some credit. He was very hard, strict, controlling...sometimes abusive and worked those boys past exhaustion. But he used his know how from the steel mills and molded his family into icon status for all time. The Jackson name is the golden ticket in Hollywood. We can fault Joseph for ALOT of things but just as bad as he was he meant well. He was from a different time. I bet parents now call Joseph Jackson from the grave and want him to whoop their disrespectful, ungrateful... intitled kids into shape so they appreciate... understand and respect their parents. Some kids now a days could benefit from ol joes switch or belt 😅.

It wasn't all Michael, the family was dysfunctional and Michael put distance between him and his brothers for a good reason. If Michael didn't step away and do his own thing they would have held him back to no end, he was already feeling the pressure at the start of the 80's when he waned to branch out on his own. Michael was always close to his Mother and he never stopped supporting his family financially, but his brothers did a lot of things that affected him throughout his life so I don't blame him for needing space fro them. Every time they did get together MJ was pressured to have some reunion tour with them because they wanted the money, even going as far as getting his mother to try and talk him into certain business deals that weren't good for MJ. There was a lot of pressure put on him and he did the right thing in keeping some distance in my opinion.

@@hannaz4617 Thank you my friend, yeah it was totally about money. I don’t think MJ would have distanced himself from them if he was shown unconditional love and none of that pressure to be the cash cow all the time. Did you hear what Michael said about Joe calling him up on Father’s Day to get £500,000 from him? He sounded so exasperated with it all and his brothers were no different. No wonder he distanced himself a lot of the time eh.

[@hannaz4617]

@@mjsilverfox Yes, totally, I agree with you, my friend! Michael always supported his brothers and his father financially. He helped his brothers with his their solo careers. He was nurturing and supportive to Tito's sons, Taj, Taryll and TJ. He was their mentor and he signed them to his label MJ Productions. I do understand that Michael didn't wanted to be always responsible for the financial problems of his brothers. They always wanted something from him. They behaved almost like all the other people in Michael's life. It's so clear to me, that this was a big problem in Michael's life. The brothers often asked Katherine to ask Michael for more and more money because they had house payments, child supports...Michael didn't want to provide them with a life long financial support. Michael didn't include his father and brothers in his will. Michael's father demanded a monthly allowance from the Michael Jackson Estate. So, yes, I fully support your statements!

[@mjsilverfox]

@@hannaz4617 What you said is so true and on point! You know. He was always helping them out of some financial situation or another and never truly got that unconditional love from them. Apart from Katherine, Janet, Rebbie and his nieces and nephews, the rest of the family seem to always want something from him, or doing something out of spite because Michael didn’t give in to some of their demands on him. He had a tremendous weight on his shoulders. Jermaine even released that awful dis song about him. He always forgave them but understandably withdrew. I hope he’s in a better place and resting in peace x

[@Diwani_Spark14]

I’m always one to give Jermaine his props and the rest of the brothers. Jermaine was extremely talented and his solo albums were pretty good they just weren’t pushed as well. It’s just hard to hold a candle to a once in a lifetime talent as Michael Jackson. Some stars shine brighter but than the others but they still shine. Was Jermaine jealous? I don’t know if that’s accurate but was their competition heck yeah. Michael was competitive himself. I think in the early days Michael looked up to Jermaine. Their co leads were magical together.

Jermaine wanted that the family stays always together. Michael had to follow his own career, to develop his own style of music and dance moves. He had to break away from the family to find his own unique, authentic way of creativity. The way he pronounced his words with his own flavor and his own style and swag set influences for years to come and changed music forever. They still do it in pop music today. He had to do this alone, his brother's were not able to hold him back or they realized that they just were not equal at his level of talent.

Jermaine first cheated on Hazel Gordy with a woman named Margaret Maldonado and they had 2 sons together and yeah he did leave first and was insanely jealous of Michael and his success, hence the song Word To The Bad, a jealous and insulting shot at Michael. Jermaine 's love for women is public knowledge, he has always been into himself, sure he loves his family, and is very talented but personally and speaking for myself he is just too egotistical and self centered, always craved Michael 's success and popularity. What he did to Randy was absolutely horrible, writing a song like that about Michael is one thing but doing what he did to Randy was inexcusable and so very hard on Randy, that's why the bond between them is broken ( and Alejandra, well don't make me lose my religion, please) she's a jezebel personified, but no Randy and Alejandra never married.

He and his wife Carol are still very much so together and happily married, Jackie cheated with Paula Abdul on his wife Enid Arden Spann but I can't be sure about others, maybe, maybe not 🤔.

definitely had a valid point but I think Michael had to probably see some things for himself without his family, learn more about himself...his entire upbringing was based on touring with his brothers and dealing with an overly strict father, we probably would've never got off the Wall and Thriller MJ had he not stood his ground against his pops and filmed the Wiz and met Quincy Jones

Michael just gave into the Hollywood hype manipulation the situation once Michael saw that the industry and outside world was pumping him up he took that and ran with it. It’s ok to do your own thing. He didn’t have to treat his brothers like that cause for real Jermaine was the lead singer Jermaine has great songs , they had different style of music.Jermaine and Jackie was like a Marvin Gaye , Jackie Wilson grown folks music .only cause Michael was lil singing and dancing. The smallest always get more attention Michael let that industry Hollywood manipulation turn his back on his family, Michael turn his back on his brothers but it was his big brother Jermaine who got him out of the country paid for everything so his lil brother can have peace..No one was hating or jealous of Micheal y’all really believe Michael was perfect y’all act like Michael was a lil a&& boy he knew better, using that manipulation.

If you read the bodyguards' book, Remember The Time, you will recall the line one of the bodyguards said which is 'dealing with the Jackson family was the most confusing aspect of our job being a bodyguard for Michael. You would think family is the closest people to you, but for some reason, it was the hardest part of our job interacting with them.' Michael wanted to stay as far as he could from his brothers/sisters and overall Jackson family- Katherine was the only exception. He put his bodyguards in an awkward place to have to tell "the" Janet Jackson' or "the" Jermaine Jackson they couldn't speak to Michael.

[@johnlucas1543]

Jermaine is consistent as hell. Outside forces tried & continue to try to crack that family unity. The siblings fight & get on each other's nerves but when all is said & done, THEY ARE TOGETHER. Remember, it was BROTHER RANDY who got Michael in contact with Tom Mesereau, the lawyer who saved Michael from the kangaroo court Tom Sneddon tried to snare him in. The family came to that courtroom in all dressed in White UNIFIED. The family always said they were trying to get through that barrier between Michael & Michael's circle. The barrier began forming after the move from Motown & definitely by Off The Wall after Michael removes Joe as manager. But Thriller is when that barrier became almost insurmountable. Too much fame forced Michael into seclusion. Even from his own family. And he kept looking for outside families to befriend to get that family feeling back. Once his brothers & sisters grew up & had families of their own, it would never be the same as the old days. Michael hated when his brothers got married & moved out in the Jackson 5 days. In a strange way, Michael's Witchhunts forced him to reforge bonds with his family again. When his professional life had a setback, it was an opportunity for his personal life to repair. His fans are a family too but way too crazy for a proper family life. He needed to stay bonded to his blood family. Success cracked the Jackson Family, there's no doubt about it. But the Jacksons are not broken. Katherine made sure of that. She holds that whole family together to this day. Jermaine remembers what it was all about.

@@rhondapalmer1564 I think unfortunately Jermaine knew that they could only be a successful music band with Michael. He knew without Michael they wouldn't have any real success or money. Michael on the other hand knew that his career with his brother would always be limited. Michael didn't want to have nothing to do with the family, he wanted to follow his dreams. He needed to express himself through music and dance. He was so much more than just an artist. Michael knew he had to follow his self-transformation. He had so much more potential and he wanted to live it. That has nothing to do with the family. He wanted to be true to himself, to be in his authentic self. They often had regular family meetings.

The mistake MJ made was to allow the Jackals to pull him away from the family so they could use him to mint money for them. He would have remained under the wings of his father as manager with little support from outside and the brothers to watch his back. He opened up himself to dangerous people.

@@dezpoppin8380 Exactly. People love to talk about how you need to stay close to family. Sometimes your blood family treats you worse than anybody else. There is no obligation to stay close to toxic people just because you happen to be related. You have no control over what family you're born into nor how those people will treat you. I only wish that Michael could have found better people to surround himself with after distancing himself from his bio family. He needed a better "chosen family" and people who really understood him.
