Janet Jackson to Open for the Jackson 5 Reunion Tour

Vertigo is keeping Janet Jackson from performing at some her own concerts, but a quick break after the calendar flips, will give Janet plenty of space to stop her head from spinning and put in work for her brothers. Her biological brothers. Speaking at an Australian TV station event, Jermaine Jackson confirmed that The Jackson 5 are getting back together for a new album - that includes Michael.

The Jackson 5 - original flavor

The brothers are currently in the studio: the plan is to bang out a new album and in 2009 The Jackson 5 will be at a stadium near you. To make the family connect complete, Jermaine has tabbed Janet Jackson as the opening act.

“This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together,” Jermaine told the Australian Associated Press. “It is just the timing, so what we’ve been doing is working on the music and all the logistics. It is going to be more like a family affair..
Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 ... Michael, Randy and the whole family. ... We’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year.”

Forget Janet, can Michael even stand.. much less, moonwalk across the stage?

I think Michael shouldnt do the J5 reunion. I mean, as much as I would love to see all of them together and Janet open for them, I think its kind of a regression ton his part o go out with his brothers again. If he’s gonna tour, then it should just be him. To re-establish his standing as THE pop icon,  I think that thats vital. Then again, Jermaine has talked about them getting together for a few yrs now, and with Janet being on the sick side, Im not sure of how valid a statement that could be.
Personally, I don’t think Michael needs to tour with J5 again. He was always better on his own.

AARTZ1, this can be the beginning of getting Michael out there to re-establish his career. I think he should tour with them. It would be like a 40 year coming out party for the whole family.

Sorry guys, they are like a dollar short and a day late for this.  They are several fries from being a happy meal…uhmmm…oh heck! it got too late pretty early for them.

Im more interested in seeing A tribe called Quest reunion or a CNN reunion or an En Vouge reunion…NWA anyone?

I don’t think that there is enough public interest in ANY of the Jackson’s for them to pull off a successful album release and tour. ALL of their times have come and gone. I can almost guarantee that this is going to be an embarrassing flop.

Okay “But Why….” you just need to keep your damn mouth shut. I’m SO SICK of people bashing Michael and his family. Janet is still amazing, and so is Michael AND the rest of the family. And excuse me, but there is no “time” for MICHAEL JACKSON. He’s STILL the biggest selling artist of all time and his music will always be TIMELESS. His “time” will never be past, thank you very much.

I agree with AART1. Michael is so much better solo. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love J5 and Janet, but Michael is still better all by himself.

And for the IDIOT who wrote this damn article… “Forget Janet, can Michael even stand.. much less, moonwalk across the stage?” EXCUSE the F*CK outta me?! Just because Michael is 50 doesn’t mean anything. 50 is NOT old either. A lot of singers still sing and dance WAY after they are 50 so shut up! Michael can still dance. His body is still VERY fit, he doesn’t act 50, and is still amazing.

I can usually keep my composure when it comes to defending Michael and his family but sometimes it’s just too much and it gets to me and I can’t hold it in anymore. So you people heard it.

“Haters only hate the things they can’t have and the people they can’t be.”

To BADEraChick…

Umm don’t get mad at the messenger. Current record and concert ticket sales clearly indicate that Janet is no longer the powerhouse that she once was. Half of Michael’s fans still believe that he’s a pedophile and must we even go in on the others? It’s cute to be a loyal fan and all but boo boo you’re borderline delusional if you think this reunion thingy is a good idea.

To BADEraChick…

Sweetie, it would also be great if you would think for yourself and learn the difference between having opposite opinions and being a hater.

Michael Jackson is doing this tour and family reunion because he has to drop a beatle bombshell soon.  John Lennon has an heir on the beatle catalgoue.  She is a lovechild that John conceived in 1963.  Yes, that is why the 600 million that Jacko is holding in escrow in Beatle catalogue is not his.  He still didn’t have enough money to pay Neverland Ranch.  Let’s face it if that 600 million beatle catalogue was his he would be very wealthy and not broke.  That money is not Yoko Ono or Paul’s either because they get their royalty check every year.  That money is accumulated over the last 22 years.  You see this daughter was a secret that caused John Lennon grieve.  It is a long story but when it hits the airwaves you will know what I put in this e-mail makes sense.  Jacko knows once he releases this info to the news people everywhere will be in shock.  It has to happen.  He has no way out.  That is why his tour has taken so long.  It was suppose to happen last year.  He had it delayed because of FEAR!  John Lennon was depressed in 1973 because of this daughter he fought to see.  Her mother said no she is not your daughter.  It was a secret custody battle because this mother was a married woman.  It is a tragic story.

I think Michael and the Jackson’s need to go out and tour together. Black America wants to see them together. Not only would it be financially good for the brothers, but it would also help Janet get back on track. Michael himself needs to come home. He needs that family support and they need him. Yeah him touring on his own was ok, but seeing how it all started makes it even sweeter. Mainstream America loves Their Stones, Aerosmith,Blondie,Duran,Duran,ect. They love em and support them. We can do the same with ours, like The Jacksons. I would love to hear Mike sing “The Lady In My Life”. Jermaine and his brothers harmonize on “Daddy’s Home”.“Turn This Disco Out” was another favorite. And who wouldn’t love to here them all sing the song “Everybody”. That song was a gem that never really saw the light. Michael needs his brothers and they need him.

madonnabdfan1@dayg715 yes she did. and dont bring Madonna into this. STFU. Madonna maybe talentless. But she still sells more tiktces and albums and brings in the big BUCKS. and her last tour was the highest gross concert of all time. Janet is WAAAAY MORE TALENTED but she doesn’t know how to market. And Michael did teach her how to dance. SORRY
