J5. The Jackson's. MJ. Janet.



The Jackson family have seemed to be in our musical consciousness since forever! What better way to celebrate them, than to give them their own thread!
I'll start the ball rolling.

Rebbie
Big sis. Always on the periphery of fame. Choose to settle down. She recorded"Centipede" back inaday. Of late, she pops up on various talk shows.

Jackie
Big bro. Lives up to it! Level- headed. Until he decided to produce his wannabe rapper son. Not! Knows his way around a studio.

Tito
Bass player. Got the young girlfriend. Also tried his hand at producing offspring [[3 son's, 3T). Like bro. Jackie, results were middling to mediocre at best. Bucket List - blues player. [[see Jackie) Eddie Murphy: "Tito, stop teasing"!

Marlon
Love's to dance! Court jester of the brood. Entrepreneur. Family man. Level-headed like Jackie. Sharp dresser.

Jermaine
Believes he is MJ 3.0! Only one, other than baby bro., could actually carry a tune! Needs to recognize the conk has played out. He too knows his way around the studio. Got the young chica too. [[ see Tito) Last wife divorced him. He and Randy once played Celebrity Wife Swap! Self-designated Jackson family spokesman.

Randy
Loved his bongo/conga playing in the 70's.! Had a horrific motorcycle accident in the 90's. Led Randy & The Gypsy's. Why? Family scandal. [[see Jermaine) Doesn't appear in public or private with "the brothers".

Janet
Good Times. [[Jenny) Diffr't. Strokes. [[Willis' girlfriend) Married a DeBarge. Annulled a DeBarge. Secret child?! Married a gazillionaire. Child. Music career stalled. Enter superproducers, Jam & Lewis. Rhythm Nation and Control. Career soars and takes flight! Young girl grow up to be Janet. [[ Hi! Ciara) Hall of Fame. More hits. Vegas residency. [[,bumps off Celion Dion's 16 year run)

Katherine
Not Mom or Mommie. Just Katherine. Sometimes Mother. B.J. [[ Before Joe) wanted to be a country-western singer. Heart & soul of the clan. A few publizied health scares. And some, perhaps, "fake news". Stayed with Joe til his death.

Joseph
Not Dad or Daddy. Just Joseph. Never Father. Hard taskmaster. A good boxer and musician himself. Reason for Jackson family's fame, wealth, and world renown. Not an entrepreneur.

Michael
GOAT!!! 'Nuff said. UK - Wacko Jacko. US - King of Pop, MJ. Many grew up to Be Like Mike! [[Usher. Chris Brown. Ne-Yo., etc., etc.)

Your turn! Have fun!!
