We don't know that.
You can tell they had more of a relationship that with other members.
We don't know that.
I believe it's Marlon, considering the fact that they're both in the same age. Though, I do have second thoughts. I believe Michael was very mature for his age so it could also be a possibility that Tito and Michael were quite close.
I agree with other posters said about different siblings at different times in his life.
It's really splitting hairs because all those siblings are close.
Janet obviously saw Michael as "Big Brother" especially with them sharing a lot personality traits in common. To this day I say that Janet's music career is linked to Michael's cosmically. Her rises echo his rises. And when he's absent, she doesn't have as much success. Take the 2000's for example. 2001's All For You came around the same period as Michael's Invincible of 2001. Then Michael got caught in all this drama for most of the decade & Janet's performance on the charts has been weaker compared to her earlier albums. Not taking away from her music just talking about her commercial success.
What? :blink: :lmao:
If that's the case, how do you explain the Velvet Rope selling over 10mil records in 1998? And how do you explain the Top 10 hit in 1999, and a #1 the following year? And Mike isn't the reason why her album weren't selling in the 2000s. If you didn't notice a little thing called Super Bowl happened and that explains Janet's commercial decline. Not Michael's absence. And you can't possibly think people were buying her albums because Mike had just wrapped up with his solo efforts.:mello: I guarantee you half the ppl on this board don't even own a Janet album. So to say he's the reason why her albums were selling is completely false. Stop trying to give him all the credit for her career.
I'm not. Her breakthrough album "Control" would have been a hit album even if she had been a white girl from Germany with no relation to Michael whatsoever. It didn't even sound like any of the records that Michael had released up to that point. If anything I actually thought that some of the songs on Michael's next album "Dangerous" were a bit influenced by the Janet sound on "Control." On tracks like (among others) "Jam" and "Why You Wanna Trip On Me" he moved away from the sound of his Quincy Jones albums and started using those harder beats like Janet did on her album.Like I said, many of you on this board probably don't even own a Janet album and rarely give her her credit because you all are stuck on Mike being the reason behind her success.
If this is the case, why didn't it work for Marlon, Randy, & Jermaine who all released solo albums around the same time Bad was released?Janet obviously saw Michael as "Big Brother" especially with them sharing a lot personality traits in common.

Janet had been on TV before she even made a record. She was an actress on the 1970s sitcom "Good Times".P.S.: Janet's 1st 2 albums got her on TV (she was on Soul Train & American Bandstand). But they weren't as successful because Janet's heart wasn't behind it like she was from Control on. Those pre-Control albums did have some top ten representation on the R&B charts.

I think I read that La Toya was but I'm not sure that is true.
Reading all of these posts it's pretty obvious that depending on the circumstances he was close to different members of the family at different stages of his life. There were probably some petty arguments between some siblings at certain points in history - they are after all only human and you have that in any family. But when all is said and done it's safe to say that Michael loved all of his brothers and sisters and that all of them loved him.
Maybe, yes. Especially since Michael and Janet are the two with the most high profile careers and so they could relate to each other because they had similar experiences with pressure from the media, expectations of the public and the critics and so on. On the other hand, I can also imagine that because of that they saw less of each other than of their other brothers and sisters. I mean, I can imagine that when one of them was at home the other one was on the other side of the world touring or something. In one interview they ask Janet when she last saw Michael and she answers "about two years ago."you made a point about something i was thinking
about
but michael turn normal first missing out on his childhood by doing music
and his father doing this out of love and desaplane michael was belted
(and that kind of hurt/pain did stay with michael for rest of his life )
he moved on buy himself his own neverland home
if you look at michael's private home movies/videos
from 2000-2009 you will see michael was closes to janet
Testy Janet fans on this board today. Getting back on topic. The topic title is "Which of Michael's siblings was he closest to?"

The Ultimate Collection Booklet in 2004 where he wrote
Randy Jackson - I am honored to have you as my brother, I love you unconditionally...:better:
Thank you!!
It's not about being testy...you just need to learn how to come out of your mouth correct. If you don't know how then I suggest you just don't post.
Which of the brothers was it that still produced music with Michael during the later years, was it Randy?
I came out of my mouth correct.
You just didn't like what I had to say.
But such is life. You can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time.
