MJ did the jackson 5 a favor by even doing the victory and triumph albums. those were done after he dropped off the wall and thriller. he literally had no incentive to do those albums OTHER than keeping his brothers employed.

jermaine need to STFU somewhere. the ONLY hot song jermaine jackson has ever done is this:

and that's only cuz jay-z sampled it.



This is facts

Originally Michael was NOT going to tour with his brothers. The brothers begged and pleaded and Michael said no. Joe threatened him and Michael said no. It took Katherine to convince him, he only did the Victory tour for HER sake.

Michael was also on the verge of quitting once they hired Don King as promoter. Michael HATED Don King and convinced the other brothers to fire him but they had already signed the contract.

Michael didn‘t want to call the tour “Victory Tour”. He wanted to call it “The Final Curtain” but was outvoted.


Near the end of the tour Michael announced live on stage that this would their final tour as a group, which shocked and angered the brothers.


also fact- Joe and Kate tried to convince Michael to take the brothers on the Bad tour but this time he and his manager Frank Dileo held firm

When Michael figured out what he wanted to do with Dangerous, he was reaching out to all the hot producers at that time. He wanted the new sounds, the fresh sounds. He called up Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, but they were loyal to Janet and said no. L.A. and Babyface were next. We at least got "Slave to the Rhythm" out of it. Then Michael reached out to Teddy Riley and the rest is history. Originally, Dangerous was going to have a bunch of tracks from Bryan Loren like "Serious Effect" (which easily could have made the album).

And I always thought Tito was the afterthought. It has a lot to do with his name. Tito. You're never going to hear a guy named Tito involved in anything important. :mjlol:

If MJ didn’t take LAFace Jermaine would’ve possibly been as big as Janet during that era. MJ knew what he was doing …

Myself and my own.
This is old news.


Jermaine was hurt and frustrated that Michael was basically sharking his producers. Jermaine was trying to mount a big comeback and was working with Babyface and I think LA Reid if i’m not mistaken. Michael basically put the call in that he wanted to work with them instead and that caused them to start giving MJ all of their best ideas and production.

Jermaine was FURIOUS and released Word To The Bad. Michael tried to call Jermaine to hash it out but Jermaine refused to speak to him. Then one night MJ got word that Jermaine was having dinner with their parents and he MJ came through dolo and CLIMBED THE ROOF AND SNUCK INTO ONE OF THE BEDROOM WINDOWS came downstairs to both surprise and confront Jermaine.

They hashed it out and as a result Jermaine switched up the lyrics on the song so it wasn’t so much a diss.
I'm imagining MJ rolling in like

See why I say MJ was the loneliest man on the planet despite how it may have seemed externally.

That said he was also super grimey when it came to his competition. Ask Terrence...
