- A quick BREAK-DOWN at the career of one of the baddest Jackson brothers.
Jermaine Jackson is one of the smoothest singers one has ever heard. He had more duties than his brothers in the Jackson Five, he was one of the backbones to the group; he is truly an "Unsung" musician.
Who were better The Jackson 5 or The Wootens?
• The Jackson 5 or The W...
I do not own the footage, music in this video. Footage is used to entertain, educate and inspire.
I disagree. He was not a better singer than Michael. Nor is he in the top tier of the best male vocalists of all time. But.. to his credit, his voice was the butter to the Jackson 5 sound. When he left the group, that lush harmony they had left as well. To put it better, Michael was the pancakes of the group. Jermain was the syrup. Though he can sing, he can be pitchy at times. But still a legend and one of the most recognizable voices in music.
Thank you for your comment sir, but it seems a bit paradoxical. You say, Jermaine is not even top tier of male vocalist of all times, but you end your text with he's a legend and one of the most known voices in music. How can he not be a top tier singer and a legend in the same speech? The real question to you is, name me a famous black singer that is 60 years or over that still can sing and sounds good other than Lionel Ritchie, Mr.Ron Isley and Jermaine Jackson? And who do you know like pancakes without the syrup?
@@thebreak-down796 Yes. He is a legend. I just wouldn’t put him up there with Michael, Marvin, Stevie, Donnie, Al, Smokey or Luther. Sorry.
@@thebreak-down796 good point
@@incozijoe and many wouldn't put Michael up there with no Luther, Stevie, etc..so what's your point?
You a lie jeramine jackson had that soul
Jermaine is my favorite Jackson. To be able to play those difficult Motown bass riffs James Jamerson played and be able to dance at the same time at the age of 10 is just incredible. The make it look so easy. I watch the Jackson 5 live performances all the time on CZcams and I'm always amazed by his playing. He inspired me to pick up a bass and learn most of the Jackson 5 songs. I watched every Jermaine interview but no one ever ask him about him bass playing. I wish CZcams would upload all those clips from Soul Train playing bass and acoustic. Thank you for this great content!
Give Jermaine Jackson his flowers💐while he still here God bless you for your talent and your soul for smooth voice and I'm a fan of Jacksons
The greatest entertainers family Are the Jackson’s.
Mike is the greatest talent but I would take the Burke family from Chicago better known as the 5 StairSteps
Jermaine could go home and Mike carried the group
Daddy's Home was a winner. I caught Jermaine at The Apollo 1986 and the opening act I believe was Skyy. Rick James appeared on stage to sing Daddy's Home with Jermaine.
That had to be soooo cool!!
Wow I live in New York and I don't remember that I wish I was there.
@@MrBarrywesme neither the only time Jermaine was at the Apollo was in 1967 with his brothers then in 2017 when their UNITY TOUR
@@MOLICIOUS69 no he was there in the 80s at one point because he was on Showtime at the Apollo he had a hit with don't take it personal. Jermaine definitely had some hits from back in the day if you are from my generation . The thing is he is Janet and Michael's brother and there is a certain amount of pressure that comes with that. The Jackson's age while in terms of their talent they pretty much sound like they always do I hear Jermaine's voice and it pretty much sounds like he always sound and I like Jermaine but he probably will not tour. There are acts out here still performing who did not have as big of a solo career as Jermaine. Jackson different breed. Sad to me I would like to hear him sing those songs.
@@MrBarrywes that's was in 1989
I'm 65 yrs old and still love Jermaine Jackson!!!
You guys around the same age so it makes sense.
His live renditions of "Smile " after Michael passed was off the chain!
according to Earthquake lol
It wasn't that good. Mike did better
@@finderkeeperrrsit was great, especially considering he did it while fighting back tears performing in front of his dead brother
@@XP9724 point still stands MJ did better. But Jermaine did good
Jermaine's bass playing live is off the chain.
Awesome bassist and lead singer,one of the greatest natural talents of our time
You nailed every point. It's clear you know how to listen to music without bias. Most people can't.
I still go for michael ..
Brilliant analysis. I agree with all your points. A lot of Jermaine’s music deserves reevaluation.
Jermaine was my fav as a kid but I still like MJ voice better.
One of the greatest vocalist of the 21 century😘 no doubt
Beautiful jermaine jackson.
You have to think Jamaine was more popular Then Michael When the Jackson 5 1st came out He was the 1st black teen idol jermain was People forget about that
They were all popular, but yes, Jermaine and Jackie were the teen idols. Michael was too young to be a teen idol but he was popular with the younger girls.
Definitely underrated #JermaineJackson
Love that but i still love MJ
I think Jermaine is better a slow love songs than Michael..
Nope
Such great memories 🥰🥰🥰
He is good singer and I love him Very much ❤️
He really is a good singer!!!
Bringing back memories a beautiful song , I love the hold Jackson family they such a sweetheart family God choice them to be angel of the family for my family in the world , God bless America 🥰
I love the Jackson 5 and great music and talents and singers but Michael Jackson is my favorite he is the king 👑👑👑 of pop and he is a genius and a great artist and Dancer ever and the the Jackson's family has so much talent and beautiful voice s and I will always love the Jackson's family
Do you have that Soul Train performance of My Touch of Madness or that other show with Jermaine at the piano?
I like Jermaine, but to say he sang better than Michael is TOTALLY DELUSIONAL!!! Listen to “Tell Me I’m Not Dreaming”. It’s a good song, but when Mike come in on that 2nd verse it’s like a totally different song. The song came ALIVE when Mike started blowing. Totally forgot Jermaine was part of the musical process....
Facts! If Joe REALLY felt Jermaine was a better singer, you KNOW he would have put him up front for that mula!!
Jermaine is a good singer just say that and compliment and admire him that is deserving for him. But just DO NOT say he was a better singer than Michael. If indeed that was true... Joe, Barry, Motown and any and EVERYONE else in the music industry wanting to make MONEY which its ALLLLLLL about in that industry they would have MADE him be lead period
@@denisebrown2622 I hear what you are saying but better voice is not always it. They will push who is the 'money maker'. Michael appealed more to the public and he was an all round entertainer. You can't beat MJ's energy and dance moves.
@@NickyM_0Mike was a better singer. Point blank
@@denisebrown2622That's Real Talk.👍
Jermaines problem is his character and negative ego....It shudnt be about Michael vs Jermaine but instead Jermaine standing on his own, offering his talents, having said the above; Jermaine has the slight edge over MJ in being a type of Marvin Gaye singer but MJ has an enormous advantage, over Jermaine, as a James Brown, Jackie Wilson type of entertainer, the game changed frm 1950s onwards, no longer about vocals
Jermaine is nothing like Marvin Gaye, no comparison.
@DeVante Cooley Jermaine said it best when he admitted to having been jealous of Michael, it was more than just a brief moment of anger; I wudnt be surprised if Jermaines marrying Hazel Gordy, and his decision to stay at Motown was part of this competition with Michael, the Jacksons are a successful, competitive, clan, even Michael, in the 90s, showed a lil bit of sibling jealousy towards Janet. Jermaines crossing over to Randys girl, was a no, no. It comes as no surprise, Jermaine is now the family spokesman; "my brother Michael" but he seems to question MJs childrens claim to inheritance, many times, he reminds us, Michael wud have been nothing without the J5. As for LA Reid & Baby Face; MJ, like JB, was more inclined to music with a pulsating, captivating, drum beat.
he shouldve stayed in his R&B lane
@@Kay-fv7cw Many of Jermaine's albums were inspired by Marvin in sound (especially during the Motown years).
@@user-jj6nz7th3q I don't know what was going on in his head to inspire him, but Jermaine's music is nothing like Marvin's music.
Props to Jermaine !
At 0:28 where did you get that footage or what show was that? Can you give some info please because that looks every rare
Younger Jermaine in my opinion was a better singer than Micheal . I am not talking about all that dancing and performing just pure VOCALS. Jermaine was better when he was younger
Nope. Young Mike and young Jermaine. Young Mike comes out on top. I don't think you understand that Mike was above every child singer and his vocal range.
he sounded like a grown man
The clip that starts at 0:27 seconds, does anybody know what show they’re on?
he's unsung is his own fault! he decided to leave ..oh well! but he could sing! had a nice voice! mike had the charisma ! and a voice...MJ was the FRONT MAN! he was what David Ruffin was to the Temptations! a bad brother!
Rest in peace Joe Jackson raise a good family 🙏🏿🕊️
Jermaine was it for me, until Michael grew up. I loved how his voice fit with his brothers. But he was not a show man, like Mike. Since Michael has been gone, Jermaine’s poor choices show on his face. His misogyny, ego, and possible narcissism have evaporated his handsomeness. And that damn Astro Boy, dyed hairstyle is a complete turn off. The reality is painful.
Everybody past or now has made poor choices, and the things you mentioned has nothing to do with his art.
Thats the facts! To sing, dans and play a instrument(bass) is difficult!
I like the song you like me don’t you
These simple-minded beings missed the boat of this video simply showing Jermaine Jackson as a great artist...they get lost because Joe Jackson who knew and trained his sons thinks Jermaine is a better singer...you people are crazy! Jermaine was a BADD MAN!!!
A lot of people also don't know that Michael look up to Jermaine no tabloid the truth his harmony do your research also Jackie also has a high pitch voice and had a solo motown album a song called love don't want to leave you will hear how great they really are listen to Marlon and Betty Wright and Randy on How can I be sure and Tito on I ain't going nowhere
and mj is better than all them
Young MICHAEL Jermaine couldn’t touch vocally / got to be there /Ben/morning glow/wanna be where you are/ simply put MICHAEL is 1/Jermaine is #2
He’s great on ballads, not so on uptempo songs- at least on Jackson’s songs where he seems to have lost the ability to sing on key. And I can’t figure out why he doesn’t do more of his own hits in the new Jackson’s shows. That’s how love goes, Daddy’s home, Dynamite would be great. They should also do Torture- with Marlon (I guess) doing Michael’s part. They need a better lead singer- cmon Randy. I’ve got ideas to keep them going. IM me Jackson’s! 😂
He sound like a grown man at age 15
Absolutely!!!
If you dont mind sharing, How did you get to hear jermaine sing i found that girl in 1971? Im a huge jackson 5 fan/collector and jermaine is my favorite jackson. Ive recently been trying very hard to get my hands on rare footage/audio so if you would be willing to share then i would appreciate it brother
I don't think there's a comparison between Michael & Jermaine because the both of them have good singing vocals, it's just that Jermaine is a smoothe operator when it comes to singing.....& Michael is a energetic fire-storm! Two different styles but both great! I agree that Jermaine was definitely underrated & did mot receive the recognition that he should have....due to the outbreak of his younger brothers artistry & talent with his solo music, songs, videos, etc....And for the record, as was stated in this awesome video, Joe Jackson, the father of the Jackson 5, definitely discovered his own children's talents....& he taught them everything they know....NOT Berry Gordy & Diana Ross & Motown! Those people just proudly & accepted the Jackson 5 group's vocals & talents.....and moved them forward in showbiz!
he was not a better singer than michael, but he also a fucking great star and great singer and great influence!! like this video brow!! congrats
Cause people hate the brothers and is only program to like michael and Janet only that's all they see it's only 4 or 5 percent sure of people who like and fans of the brothers and whole family
I'd also like to see that footage at 28 sec. What show did that come from?
Your LOVE for Jermaine is appreciated But, Michael and his brother had 2 differant STYLES which should NOT be compared as, ONE is BETTER THAN THE OTHER...... JOSEPH SHOULD HAVE NEVER DONE THAT EITHER. RIFFS IN THE FAMILY CAUSES TOXICITY. That being said BOTH BROTHERS ARE PHENOMENAL......KEK FRUIT PEACHTREE LOADED WITH PEACHES....🍑🍑🍑🍑..... THANK YOU for Sharing......KEK...... 🐸🐸🐸🐸 WWG1WGA! With LOVE 💘💕💖💗❤💓💘💕💖
KISS KISS 💋 DARLIN
Jermaine can blow only him and michael can but clearly it's only one king of pop
Why does his hair look like plastic and he put Armor All on his face?
Love all the Jackson's but Jermaine is not nor was he ever better than Michael imo
Joe jackson love Jermaine Jackson because Jermaine n him was fuckin Randy girl n both are just alike q
Michael will always be a better singer than jermaine. No competition.
LETS GET SERIOUS WAS A SMASH HIT AND THAT WAS NOT A BALLAD
His art was and is a ruse. He used it to get chick's! It was never as pronounced as Michael's, which is why he was replaced by Michael as the lead singer. He was taught to play bass guitar by their uncle Luther Jackson, a professional blus guitarist. Yes, we all make mistake, especially myself. But, I didn't ruin any lives,, that I know of, or ruin my career! I'm only expressing my opinion.
Let's do a challenge where y'all can mention Jermaine without Michael. Cause y'all can't give Jermaine props without shitting on MJ. That's how I know MJ is better than your favs. Pathetic
Jermaine jackson was looking over his shoulder after leaving the jackson 5 😭😭😂😂 joe was fooling
czcams.com/video/_TSuGQra4dA/video.htmlsi=yG5xN0rGIV-afVRS
Yes he could sing but hell no he wasnt better than Michael..period....
😂
I do like his 80s solo stuff, but: Heard Jermaine singing live during the 2000s. He messed up so many performances (check out the ones he did in France and Germany). I friend of mine went with me to one show and she was like: Didn't you say he can sing? 😂 Plus: Jermaine could never put on a two hours show.
You ever heard of people having bad shows when they are on tour? We all know Michael Jackson didn't have any bad shows vocally, care to guess why.? Jermaine over Michael all day. Michael couldn't create nothing without his brothers or stealing people's music!!!
@@shonterrareed7061 You know at how many tv shows Jermaine used playback too? Although around that time he had released some good songs and he could have done them live. Around that time he had an oportunity to tour in Europe. He didnt do it because that wasnt "big enough" for him.
As for the tour I went to: I went to a few of their concerts in the Netherlands, France and Germany. And it didnt sound great live. And it wasnt just "one bad show ". As I said: He sounded good back in the days, but he didnt sound like that anymore.
As for putting on a whole show: He just cant do it - and Jermaine said so himself.
Michael didnt need his brothers anymore. He did great without them. Jermaine couldnt do anything without Michael (movie, tv show, book).
By the way: If you like Jermaine - fine! As I said I liked his oder stuff too. But you sound like a jealous Jermaine in your replies sometime.
What made you go see him in three countries if he sounded bad the first two what made you go to see him a third time? I CALL BIG CAP!!! And Michael needed somebody all the songs he stole. He was better with his brothers. I seen Michael live and he lip synch and sounded very rough, but that don't mean he couldn't sing though.
@@iknowimright4037 I bought all the tickets for the Jacksons BEFORE I went to the first show. Since I met up with people, I knew for a long time, I went along to the ones I had tickets for. Plus I do like the Jacksons songs in general. But they just didn't sound good (and I don't mean only Jermaine). As for the solo gigs of Jermaine: I just happened to be there because I wanted to see some of the other acts who performed there too.
Oh, I forgot: Saw Michael at the Bad, Dangerous and History - Tour. In none of my replies I said Michael is perfect.
But Jermaine's problem wasn't Michael. He was the problem himself. Jermaine had opportuniies and didn't take them. It's not Michael's fault, Jermaine didn't take them.
If MJ was 10 Jermaine was a 2! He couldn't hold a candle to Mike! Y'all sound stupid! Look at the careers ........ I'm done!!
Hey bro, a little known fact... the J5 had two people offstage playing bass and guitar.. which allowed Jermaine n Tito to dance and sing. Show business is all about illusion!
That's 100% a myth and can be easily proven wrong with facts.
From 1965-1974, the live lineup of the Jackson 5 remained unchanged. It was Jackie- percussion/vocals, Michael-vocals, Marlon-vocals, Tito-guitar/vocals, Jermaine-bass guitar, vocals, Ronnie Rancifer-keyboards and Johnny Jackson (no relation) on drums. By the time that the J5 arrived at Motown, they had thousands of hours of rehearsals and gigs under their belt being a live band. Berry Gordy rehearsed them as a self contained live band and NEVER sent them out with supplemental musicians on tour (they did provide occasional horns and/or strings for television appearances like Johnny Carson or the Jerry Lewis telethon but NEVER supplemental bass or guitar players)
For proof of these facts, I would suggest you listen to the "Live at the Forum 1970-1972" double CD. which shows this original live lineup of the J5 at the peak of its powers. The liner notes from this CD detail Jermaine's bass playing in detail and you can actually hear how his bass playing improved from '70-72. (his bass playing on the 2nd disc is ridiculously ferocious).
For visual proof, here's rare footage of the j5 soundchecking. There are plenty of shots of Jermaine playing a plugged in bass where his fingers are matching the notes that are being heard: czcams.com/video/_Fk84O8dPqI/video.htmlsi=SoJOkQoWl31Ivj6x
For more (better quality) proof, here's footage from the J5 live in 1971 in Indiana. There are plenty of crystal clear shots of Jermaine playing his Candy Apple Red Fender Jazz through his Acoustic stack and his fingers are completely in sync with the bass notes that you are hearing. If you can't see that he is playing live here, you simply do not have a deep understanding of the bass guitar: czcams.com/video/6EtxrIpyuQY/video.htmlsi=vbQTRdMw7gRqgHBv
If you still need more proof of J.J's prowess on bass, here's a clip of him playing and singing "Let's Get Serious" live on Arsenio from 1991:czcams.com/video/JeapaltJEx4/video.htmlsi=sX-I7xgElblCbMaq
The Jackson 5 were all about authentic talent, not illusion.
Lol you actually took the time to post that mess!!??
Go back and watch n early vlip if them in American Bandstand, performing THERE WAS TIME. their dancing is flawless! There is a wah wah guitar playing, but Tito has no wah wah in that clip! Good try tho, you are way off in your statement!
@@lynwoodme8558 acts on American Bandstand was always lip-synch. Whether you’re Elton John, Michael Jackson, David Bowie or Kool And The Gang……there never was a live performance on American Bandstand, ever. I performed on Dick Clark Rockin’ New Year’s Eve, and that’s his policy. All lip-synch all the time. Try again
Reading is fundamental!! I said listen to Tito guitar... he's dancing n singing... his guitar definitely has a wah on it, yet he's not in a foot pedal. I'm really tired of talking to you. I have played with Johnny ronny. Johnny's cousin lives with Sean Jackson( 1st cousin to j5) he stated the had a guitar n bass player offstage, in their concerts!! Please, please don't bother me anymore!! PLEASE!!
No way he better than michael he aint even good
DEBARGE is right up there and are better musicians
Berry Gordy ruin the joe jackson life when he sic Hazel on Jermaine ritual
