I started reading it a bit. So far , he comes across as a very lovin , caring brother who only wanted the best for MJ. I don't quite buy it, LOL It's like he took the things that were important to MJ and made it important for himself. I'm not saying he did not love or care about MJ, but so far, he comes across as a very unselfish brother wanting only what was best for MJ and MJ's success, and I don't quite believe it. I don't think Jermaine is bad, but I do think he had a bit of jealousy over MJ, but u likely won't get that impression here in this book. In any case, I want to get in his head and see what he says. Should be interesting.
I do think it's likely he tried helping MJ, though. To what degree, I'm not sure. He starts by saying he had a plane, pilot and a place for MJ in Bahrain ready to go in the drop of a hat if things did not go well with the trial. Do I believe him? To a certain degree I do.
I am enjoying the childhood stories. Learned a couple of things I did not know about MJ, such as his love for trains, speed, and "playing store". He used to buy candy for 5 cents and sell it for the same price and his father would get annoyed, and Michael didn't know why he couldn't sell it for the same price he bought it, lol
I will read the book from tomorrow on. I have been so beat today that I just slept again. I did see that you wrote about the JOE in MJ´s name. As we have said nothing in our lives seems to be a coincidence so once again this book has its meaning. Jermaine is probably totally in on it.
And possibly answering questions many of us have asked or wondered about, except he may be doing it in a covert way. I didn't read today, so am only basing this on the first 3 chapters.
On page 12 I thought this comment was interesting: Our minds are preprogrammed not to entertain doubt or half-heartedness.
Especially when thinking of the theories that Joe was some kind of programmed leader? remember!!!!
Also this comment: I find myself constantly reflecting, going back to a time when we believed Hollywood to be only a magical place;when we believed in the Yellow Brick Road Hmmmmmmm, does it mean that something came in between that illusion?
I find the choice of words interesting -- "yellow brick road"--- that has been associated with this hoax from the beginning. As for Holleywood being a magical place, I do think their illusions were shattered when they realized just how controlled everything was. That's what MJ has been fighting over for years.
I have reached the second chapter and he has interesting thoughts indeed. Like saying MJ paid a price for being famous and you know the trip to Bahrain that has been so well discussed, well I have a feeling it is something that happened but just in 2009. I think the Jacksons are not good in keeping secrets so in one way or other the truth will prevail if in no other sense but at least " between the lines".
Carre, I really think Jermaine is saying hidden stuff in his book. As u read more, u'll see what I mean. I can't pinpoint anything now (coz am dead tired), but I swear, there are messages there... btw, I'm really enjoying this book; much more then I thought.
Jermaine mentions over and over what a prankster Mj was, and how he loved magic and illusions. There's some very funny parts too,lol such as one time Jermaine sneaked a girl into his room, and he's getting all firsky with her. he has his eyes closed and he's carressing the girl, and she says "Ohh I love when u touch my thighs like that" and Jermaine thinks, 'I'm not touching ur thighs" Then he opnes his eyes and sees MJ by the side of the bed with his hands on the girls hands, LOL Jermaine gets really upset and doesn't talk to MJ for the rest of the day. That night, as they lie in bed (they slept in same room), MJ, to break the ice says "she had really soft thighs", and they both burst out laughing.
I'm actually quite enjoying this book. I'm surprised. There are things he writes that really make me think it's for the purpose of the hoax, but what I'm enjoying more then anything, is the picture he's painting of how MJ was like. I'm not sure it's all true, but I think it might be true as he sees it. It's well written, which makes me think he had a lot of help writing it. The Michael he describes, fits in perfectly to what I imagined. More human . But still a great loving being.
Absolutely. I think I have to re-read Moonwalk someday too. We can have that as a project after this one. I have it in my shelf but haven´t read it in years and maybe there could be some clues to MJ´s brain that I have forgotten. But you are right it´s so nice to hear of MJ as a little diaper baby etc, stuff he would never tell himself. As you mentioned MJ might be more involved in this book than we think!!!! I´d love that though.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I just finished reading Jermaine's book, and I'm a little stunned right now. He did a great job honoring his brother, and I think the affection he felt for Michael really shines thru in this book. I think I've misjudged him. What got to me was the ending when he talks about MJ's death. The stuff he says makes me wonder if we aren't wrong, and maybe Michael really is gone. I don't want to spoil it for u, but let me tell u, I have tears in my eyes. The book is emotional. U can FEEL Jermaine's emotions. Especially as he describes the hell Michael went thru and then the events as of June 25. I've been emotional for the past 2 days anyway (don't know why since there's no particular reason), so maybe I'm over -reacting. But I have a lump in my throat right now, and feel really sad....
I can understand if you believe in MJ being gone, especially since you are having a moment where you share the feeling of Jermaine and how he see´s it. I would understand and at the moment since I´m not finished with the book ( not even close LOL) I will continue believing. We will see if my opinion changes after finishing it? We do have to remember all the clues and for instance the feeling you got when you saw cirque du soleil!!!!!
He did install a doubt in my mind, but when I went to bed (at 2 am,lol) I started thinking of some of the stuff he wrote, which would fit in with hoax, and I wondered if this book wasn't just part of the hoax itself "Play with them a little....and then bam" There's lot's of references to magic and illusions, and TWICE, he makes a point of saying that his middle name is JOE. That's NOT the name on the death certificate, making it a different person. Of course, that's IF we've seen the real certificate. Another thing that has bothered me is the official cause of death "propofol intoxication" , That's NOT and official reason, and u'd have to be in the medical field to know this, and to be in a field where u deal with a lot of death , which unfortunately i do. The cause of death should have been: respiratory and cardiac arrest, due to propofol intoxication. There's protocols in medicine and just the propofol intox is NOT legally recognized. The REAL cause really is resp/cardiac arrest. See, at work , we fill so many death certificates, so I KNOW the jargon and correct terminology, and I'm pretty sure the US has the same standards we do. Just look at Steve Jobs (resp arrest due to pancreatic tumor) http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/10/10/8257110-report-steve-jobs-cause-of-death-was-respiratory-arrest
MJ's should have said "Resp arrest due to propofol intox". Get it? It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it IS. Just like having a different name on a death certificate.
So although at first I started doubting the hoax (and I got really sad, like June 25 all over again), once I ran things through my mind, I realized there's still too many things that don't fit in. And jermaine has a role in all this, this book being one of his roles.
Anyway, I'm surprised how much I liked this book, and I have to say, my feelings towards Jermaine have changed, LOL I kind of like him, LOL
Couldn´t resist to comment this quickly before sleep. Just thought a a lot about the whole hoax and Jermaine and all and as I can see it, I think he like the rest of the family have been sad since start. Always when I hear someone talking about Janet, La Toya, the brothers, Kate, the kids they say it seems MJ is gone and I agree. I cried so much in the memorial that don´t know when I did so much last time. BUT and I mean BUT there is always something between the lines...you know they leave little clues that doesn´t make sense. Just like you said that this whole death reason doesn´t make sense, same as the name Joe doesn´t. I have been confused about this since start and why would Jermaine mention this even???? I mean especially if the death certificate would be real? also it cannot be known if the clues are to keep people interested but then again I just trust my senses and since I have this powerful feeling I can´t deny it. One other thing bothering me are the little details, like why did Jermaine do the official statement of Mj´s death??? and why is he so in this whole MJ solving case. He was the one in Neverland, he is the being interviewed, the one singing smile, the one writing a book. MJ was closer to the other brothers I think. Well at least at some point he and Jermaine were fighting , especially after he left Jackson5. well I haven´t been able to read the book this weekend at all so maybe there is some more explanation there but these are just some of my thoughts. I will tell you more of my insight after reading some more I promise.
Actually, I think MJ was closer to Jermaine then the other brothers. They were the ones who were always together as they grew up, sharing rooms, doing pranks. It's not only in this book that I read that. Later, MJ became very close to Janet. The fighting is explained in the book. It was really about one incident. Jermaine was SO angry at MJ coz he thought he went behind his back on a deal, that someone gave him that song and said, let it all out, sing. He says he didn't realize it was going to be out in public. He just sang it coz he was upset, but it was supposed to stay private. He made up with MJ shortly after, after he explained everything. It's true that Jermaine probably thinks he was closer to MJ, then MJ himself thought. But as they were growing up, I really think they were. When u look at Motown 25 u'll see their genuine hugs and smiles. That was done at a time when the brothers hadn't performed together for a long time. Look at MJ and Jermaine... they LOOK close.In many ways, they're are similar. They gloried in being onstage, much more then the other brothers. No matter what, u can;t say MJ did NOT love to be onstage. he admitted that the stage was where he felt most at home. Jermaine too. So , u get the impression that jermaine was jealous of MJ coz MJ succeeded his career much better, and I'm sure there was a bit of jealousy, but maybe not to the degree we think. I know this is Jermaine's book, and of course he's not goin to admit jealousy or whatever, but u can get the FEEL of the truth by reading what he write and how he writes. There is true emotion for MJ in all this book, not just during the trial or at the end. Throughout, u sense love there. I know, I know, he could have just written it this way to score points with MJ's fans. But then u just look at his actions. He was THERE with MJ throughout his whole trial. If he was worried about himself and his image, he might not have been. U understand? And when u look back at videos whre the two of them are together, look at his face towards MJ. There's no resentment, I think. They shared a very strange childhood together and I think they formed bonds that perhaps wouldn't have been formed if they had led a normal life.
Jermaine claims to this day, he didn't leave J5, THEY left him. I kind of agree, u know. Put urself in Jermaine's position. he's married to the daughter of Motown, and he also felt Motown made them what they were. His sense of loyalty was strong. And MJ wasn't mad at him, or fighting. he was just sad the group wasn't together. Even in his own book, MJ mentions how sad he was, how he missed seeing Jermaine to the left of him when they were performing. This was not why they faught. it was about that song Jermaine did.
As to why he was the one who announced MJ's death, he explains it, but I don't buy it, LOL But u'll have to read it urself, lol Can't give away everything. He and MJ also had another thing in common that none of the other brothers did--- the love of exotic animals. The first snake pet was actually Jermaine's, LOL And Jermaine had a tiger as a pet too that he took with him on tours..
I read some pages now before bed and just came to the part where he mentions the name Joe as MJ`s middle name, the site 58 you mentioned before. I don´t think it´s a coincidence he mentions that 7 is MJ`s favorite number, I mean I think this has a meaning since this has been spoken a lot about in the hoax and just that how important numbers are and always will be to Michael. In any case just had to mention that since I truly think this book has a purpose. Maybe it´s made for us hoaxers? like confirming our suspicion and research?
A little further in the book, when he talks about MJ's wedding to Lisa Marie, he brings up the name "joe" again. There are various references that make me think the book wants to give us clues bout the hoax. He writes often about "illusions", "magic", "disguises".... U can't help but feel he's saying something, lol At the end , though, in regards to June 25, then the tone changes, and that's when I started having doubts. Until I started thinking about all the clues again.
Always when I see the Jacksons talking about MJ I get emotional, especially with Janet, Jermaine and Kate, that all were "close" to him. I do understand the feeling you get and if MJ is gone of course it´s the way to react. The only thing that bothers me are the hoax clues, you know the name JOE, the nr 7 and stuff like this. I feel as if Jermaine looked at hoax videos and then decided to write a book telling about the suspicions etc. In that case it would seem as the Jacksons are truly interested in the clues we hoaxers are suspecting. Also he says the weirdest things like the one with the airport. These little things keeps me hanging on to the fact that something is not right. It can be that MJ is gone and that all the clues don´t even exist but as always I trust my gut and it´s telling me something´s off. Also the funeral, memorial, the court, Murray, Dave Dave, the green man, the kids...well too much stuff has been happening that just don´t make sense. Plus the fact that it was told Mj would die six months before he did etc. And you told me tha feeling in cirque du soleil was incredible. Well I´m close to a 100 pages soon in the book so will continue my opinions when we get closer to the end all the time.
Kate write a book too remember and Janet!!! would love to see their side of the story too.
One thing that I find interesting is how can Jermaine remember details so well? I mean I have an incredible memory, fantasy and even remember all my dreams. But I have to say I don´t remember stuff I did under 10, maybe some few here and there but most are told by my parents.
Oh and one thing I forgot to mention is that while reading the book I can see how important it was in the family already as little to act and show feelings so to say. In other words not saying that they all act feelings, but I think they could be good at it. I love them, I do but I know even I used to be an actress sometimes, especially when out!!! if you know what I mean! and didn´t Paris want to be an actress?
You're right about that, that whole family are good actors! And that's the feeling I have now as I think of the book, and how Jermaine played with our emotions at the end--ACTING, but in bookform. And it's true about all the clues. Just too much things to pass off as coincidences. And I don't believe in coincidences anyway, LOL Don't worry, I totally believe this is a hoax. Jermaine had me for a minute, but it didn't last long, LOL That family reunion they had to celebrate their parents anniversary on May 14, THAT was about reviewing everyone's role in this hoax. First of all, the parents anniversary is Nov 5! LOL So, yeah, don't buy the anniversary get-together.
I find it interesting that one page 151 Jermaine especially mentions ( once again close to the hoax) that MJ was into magic tricks and even did some for his 5 dollars a week!!!!!!! He also mentions the word illusion once again. I just have to feel this has something to do with MJ as a person and what he is capable of!
He mentions a few times about Michael's fascination and love for illusion and magic. And he says how good Michael got with all this. So, yeah, I agree with u, we're getting tips from Jermaine, about "illusion" which I think has a lot to do with the hoax. Even latoya has referred to illusion MANY times.
HAHA, didn´t have time to read today but forgot to mention yesterday that who do you think that naked woman was that the Jackson´s saw when meeting the queen????LMAO, the queen herself. So typical Jermaine to not want to mention who it was.
Havent been reading for a week but today read some pages and think that Jermaine describes events in MJ´s life really well. Stuff that I always wondered about and that MJ really wouldn´t talk of himself. I will continue reading the book this week :D
I think Jermaine was probably close to MJ when they were young, but not so much so at a later age. But I have no doubt that they loved each other, no matter what.
Yes yes, here we can read a little about the mind of Jermaine!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI started reading it a bit. So far , he comes across as a very lovin , caring brother who only wanted the best for MJ. I don't quite buy it, LOL It's like he took the things that were important to MJ and made it important for himself. I'm not saying he did not love or care about MJ, but so far, he comes across as a very unselfish brother wanting only what was best for MJ and MJ's success, and I don't quite believe it. I don't think Jermaine is bad, but I do think he had a bit of jealousy over MJ, but u likely won't get that impression here in this book. In any case, I want to get in his head and see what he says.

ReplyDeleteI do think it's likely he tried helping MJ, though. To what degree, I'm not sure. He starts by saying he had a plane, pilot and a place for MJ in Bahrain ready to go in the drop of a hat if things did not go well with the trial. Do I believe him? To a certain degree I do.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the childhood stories. Learned a couple of things I did not know about MJ, such as his love for trains, speed, and "playing store". He used to buy candy for 5 cents and sell it for the same price and his father would get annoyed, and Michael didn't know why he couldn't sell it for the same price he bought it, lol
ReplyDeleteCarre, u have to read page 58 in Jermaine's book! It confirms his real middle name and what 777 meant to Michael.
ReplyDeleteI will read the book from tomorrow on. I have been so beat today that I just slept again. I did see that you wrote about the JOE in MJ´s name. As we have said nothing in our lives seems to be a coincidence so once again this book has its meaning. Jermaine is probably totally in on it.

ReplyDeleteYeah that was my thought too, the controlled environment!!!!!!! so yet here we have a saying of the hoax

ReplyDeleteYou've got a point there, that the trip was actually in 2009! Didn't think of that...
ReplyDeleteknowing the slip ups of Jermaine On the way to the airport, I mean the hospital..... I have a sensation he is trying to tell the truth this way!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCarre, I really think Jermaine is saying hidden stuff in his book. As u read more, u'll see what I mean. I can't pinpoint anything now (coz am dead tired), but I swear, there are messages there...

ReplyDeleteAlways when I see the Jacksons talking about MJ I get emotional, especially with Janet, Jermaine and Kate, that all were "close" to him. I do understand the feeling you get and if MJ is gone of course it´s the way to react. The only thing that bothers me are the hoax clues, you know the name JOE, the nr 7 and stuff like this. I feel as if Jermaine looked at hoax videos and then decided to write a book telling about the suspicions etc. In that case it would seem as the Jacksons are truly interested in the clues we hoaxers are suspecting. Also he says the weirdest things like the one with the airport. These little things keeps me hanging on to the fact that something is not right. It can be that MJ is gone and that all the clues don´t even exist but as always I trust my gut and it´s telling me something´s off. Also the funeral, memorial, the court, Murray, Dave Dave, the green man, the kids...well too much stuff has been happening that just don´t make sense. Plus the fact that it was told Mj would die six months before he did etc. And you told me tha feeling in cirque du soleil was incredible. Well I´m close to a 100 pages soon in the book so will continue my opinions when we get closer to the end all the time.
ReplyDeleteKate write a book too remember and Janet!!! would love to see their side of the story too.
One thing that I find interesting is how can Jermaine remember details so well? I mean I have an incredible memory, fantasy and even remember all my dreams. But I have to say I don´t remember stuff I did under 10, maybe some few here and there but most are told by my parents.
Oh and one thing I forgot to mention is that while reading the book I can see how important it was in the family already as little to act and show feelings so to say. In other words not saying that they all act feelings, but I think they could be good at it. I love them, I do but I know even I used to be an actress sometimes, especially when out!!! if you know what I mean! and didn´t Paris want to be an actress?
ReplyDeleteYou're right about that, that whole family are good actors! And that's the feeling I have now as I think of the book, and how Jermaine played with our emotions at the end--ACTING, but in bookform.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's true about all the clues. Just too much things to pass off as coincidences. And I don't believe in coincidences anyway, LOL Don't worry, I totally believe this is a hoax. Jermaine had me for a minute, but it didn't last long, LOL That family reunion they had to celebrate their parents anniversary on May 14, THAT was about reviewing everyone's role in this hoax. First of all, the parents anniversary is Nov 5! LOL So, yeah, don't buy the anniversary get-together.
I find it interesting that one page 151 Jermaine especially mentions ( once again close to the hoax) that MJ was into magic tricks and even did some for his 5 dollars a week!!!!!!! He also mentions the word illusion once again. I just have to feel this has something to do with MJ as a person and what he is capable of!
ReplyDeleteHe mentions a few times about Michael's fascination and love for illusion and magic. And he says how good Michael got with all this. So, yeah, I agree with u, we're getting tips from Jermaine, about "illusion" which I think has a lot to do with the hoax. Even latoya has referred to illusion MANY times.
ReplyDeleteHAHA, didn´t have time to read today but forgot to mention yesterday that who do you think that naked woman was that the Jackson´s saw when meeting the queen????LMAO, the queen herself. So typical Jermaine to not want to mention who it was.
ReplyDeleteHavent been reading for a week but today read some pages and think that Jermaine describes events in MJ´s life really well. Stuff that I always wondered about and that MJ really wouldn´t talk of himself. I will continue reading the book this week :D
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It really is well written, and very compassionate towards MJ.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this book is well written and is interesting to see Jermaine´s thoughts and how close to MJ he was.
ReplyDeleteI think Jermaine was probably close to MJ when they were young, but not so much so at a later age. But I have no doubt that they loved each other, no matter what.
