Michael Jackson is often seen as the standout talent in the Jackson 5. However, before he took the mic stand his older brother Jermaine was the original lead singer for the group, and later acted as a complimentary vocalist on all the Jackson 5’s early hits.
The brothers were pitted against each other by the press as they developed solo careers outside of the family group. A rivalry that only grew once Michael left Motown with the rest of his family. Jermaine’s attempted to forge his own path, to create a name for himself. Which became more and more difficult as his brother’s career continued to skyrocket to new and unimaginable heights.
In this series of videos, we uncover the complicated stardoms, musical rivalries and family dynamics of Michael and Jermaine Jackson.

Уж не такой он был и несчастный, этот Майкл, как его многие считают… Как не посмотришь, – везде на видео и на фотках – веселый и счастливый! Всё таки хорошо иметь большую и дружную семью!
Благодаря отцу они стали такими известными и знаменитыми…
Jackie had a 70’s solo album as well
Джексоны все видели и понимали что Майкл особенный одарённый, даже их отец говорил что не видел никогда чтоб кто нибудь запоминал тексты песен с мелодией как Майкл, они все им восхищались гордились ну зависть тоже вэзяла своё
Who broke my guitar🤔? 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑👍
Part 2
Thank you for your channel man. MJ legacy never dies. Cheers from Russia.
On One of Jermaine LPs He Said "Yes, I'm My Brothers Keeper Because My Brothers are the Keepers of Me". May Michael R.I.P.
It's a so called rivalry because u said it idiot
Didn’t even see this yet but I know this should be good
Randy hates Jermaine. And you know why.
Michael Jackson is the only one in his family and in the world. Never existed another singer dancer human man never compared to anyone. Michael Jackson is ONE👑💫❤️💙🌻🦋🦚
Olá poderia traduzir ou legendar para português (Brasil)? Obrigada ❤
Jackie Jackson actually released a album during the Jackson 5 era. It just didn’t do well
The whole Jackson clan is demonic and hellbound. Michael was Satan's chief ambassador in the music industry. He was literally demon possessed.
All the siblings were jealous of M
It’s ridiculous to compare Mike and Jermaine. They were 2 totally different men, with 2 totally different talents. Some people just have a gift. Michael was one word: special. I personally prefer the vocal tag team of Michael and Jermaine. Jermaine staying at Motown was his downfall. It would’ve been cool to see him at CBS with the rest of the brothers.
Nobody gave a shit about Michelle's brothers .the only talent in that group was Michael that's why he went solo if the other brothers was that talented they would have did well solo act .not even there children 3T & the other kids only one talent in that entire family. He's dead not
Been waiting for this one!
The thumbnail is everything I can’t for more parts
Jermaine loved his brother…nothing wrong with a little sibling rivalry.
Jermaine loved his little brother, and his family’s Legacy to this very day.
Good and positive video; could've been longer!
Michael and Jermaine both needed each other since they're kinda opposites in personality; they sharpened each other. The rivalry did get kinda nasty in the 80's but I think Jermaine was being protective and didn't know how to express his more alpha male aggression healthily. Michael was more sensitive and possibly found Jermaine too overbearing at times. Jermaine was majorly overlooked by the public and I think it's because he's a Jackson that was always compared to Michael (Randy had the same problem). He is very talented though, and gave us 3 duets with The Voice, Whitney Houston. Their song, "If You Say My Eyes are Beautiful" is one of the best duets any Jackson and Houston ever did. I think his son, Jafaar will do an amazing job in the estate's MJ biopic.
Michael was in a class of his own. Jermaine is a good singer & it stops there with him. Michael on the other hand had the total package plus more. His light was just to bright to share the stage with his brothers🤷🏻♂️
Jermaine looks alot like his father Joseph.
Maine, shouldnt have left the group.
Them Epic Jacksons records wouldve been ten times fire with him do co leads with Michael.
Another minor talent when compared to legend-toyah.
Jermaine was my favorite because he was in my age group.
Thank you for telling the truth about this normal sibling rivalry !! Those guys loved each other . I can totally relate to Jermaine’s feelings about Michael . He was only concerned and rightfully so about the people MJWas surrounding himself with . I read Jermaine’s book and it was soooo interesting and enlightening about their family dynamic . I also understand MJS dilemma also as I have a son in the business and sometimes the business can be so demanding he may not always pick up or answer my calls , not because he doesn’t love me or want to talk . Just because the business is so frickin time consuming . Ultimately Mike and Jermaine loved each other and were very close .
It was hilarious when Jake Tapper(?) was talking to Jermaine about Michael’s death and said that he was the closest one to Michael when he was literally the brother Michael was always the most distant from.
Jermaine was a talented individual, I remember his solo career. He had some really decent hits, your in good hand, let’s get serious, let’s be young tonight. He was a force for sure, but Michael had a dedication to his craft like no other. He was determined to be great and he was!
jermaine married Randy baby momma so nope i dont trust dude lmao
Jermaine was more of a co lead not just a background singer
It's so sad that Jermaine has always been jealous of Michael and sadly still is til this day
I never knew that Michael had him a Hot Curly Afro and How Long did he keep it ?
MJ looks totally different with that Hot Curly iron Afro !
Michael and Jermaine were the lead singers but michael was the frontman of the group
Jermaine is extremely talented in singing well and playing bass at the same time, however, Michael was a once in all lifetimes talent. The group Hanson had a similar issue where the record deal was signed based on one brother as lead singer and another brother took over and did all their hits. The BeeGees had a similar dynamic. I'm not criticizing the excellent video, I am pointing out that sibling drama is an issue in sibling groups
@7:38 looks more like Jason Weaver from “The Jacksons, An American Dream” than young Michael Jackson
Nice, but you didn't delve into any rivalry they had.
The brothers are all wonderful and have talent but MJ is the King!👑✨💕No one could and can do it like Michael. He was truly gifted!🌟💎MJ Forever❤️🔥
I am a big Jackson Five fan I never knew there was jealousy between the two! I am a Osmond fan there was jealousy with them to!
The only reason Jermaine came to his defense was so he could be on camera. His jealousy was blatant with his little song, "Word to the bad".
I Really Liked The JACKSON 5 BROTHERS ,POPULARITY AS I'd Remembered As A,FUN LOYAL FAN In My Own Right,Back In The Late 60's and Early 70's
Adoramos The Jacksons no Brasil. Please coloquem legendas em português. O vídeo é muito bom.
