The comments under the scream video makes me wanna laugh. Basically Jermaine's cover was not appreciated, but he does not care. He will continuing filling his tours with Michael songs. He is too old now to change......I think Michael sang a song as part of the jacksons about it being too late to change the time or something like that.
 
In one interview Jermaine said:
"even thought Michael is very talented, a lot of his success has been due the timing and a little bit of luck. It could have been him, or it could just as easily have been me".

This video proves once and for all, it wasn't luck or timing, Jermaine has 1% of talent that Michael had, and his singing?
Is that his normal voice, does he sing like that all the time?

Was that live singing or playback? I noticed that when he extended the microphone to audience to sing along, he wasn't finished with stop pressuring me, but voice came out clearly without any change to it, check it out starting at 0:52.


Btw, if I see Jermaine wearing gold pants, that's it then :D

Oh please don't mention the gold pants and Germaine in the same sentence. The idea of that happening will simple crush my spirit. It would be the last and final sacrilege.

About his voice--his tone is different from Michael & only a certain type of melody suits his voice. That is why he could sing certain songs during J5, but not others. Now, he tends to forget that & tries to sing songs that are not suited for his voice. To me he sounds better singing songs in a low range with a sort of off beat melody--like the songs he sang solo.
 
Wow, seeing Jermaine singing Michael's songs... makes me wonder... Is he allowed to do it? Doesn't he have to pay to the Estate for getting rights to eprform Michael's songs??
 
uh-oh the situation is not good. Thanks to marc for the links.

Music. Low blows around the flop Jermaine Jackson

21: 30 pm Friday at the Casino Barrière de Deauville. David Serero joins Jermaine Jackson on stage, the kisses, hugs before interpreting duet song Autumn Leaves ( dead leaves ).

But behind the facade of smiles, divorce is consummated between American artist and producer who has come to France for a tour of eight dates, entitled You are not alone .

"I knew nothing about the working methods of Mr. David Serero, says the former member of The Jackson 5. My family and I are on scene for over forty years and we respect the music, the people who work with us and our fans. We do not allow David Serero to discredit our reputation by his behavior. '

For the first time in Bordeaux, January 19, criticism down on the spectacle of the brother of the King of Pop. The show was presented as follows: " A musical in which Jermaine tells the whole story of Jackson's birth until the death of his brother, Michael, illustrated with photos and new videos. '

"Jermaine Jackson has-beens "

Finally, a show at a discount. The American ¯ that occurs before a sparse audience ¯ appears in the middle of a scene for the less kitsch. Sept. red armchairs and three tables, four lighted lamps. "I asked Mr. David Serero and Louis XVI décor that sound equipment and professional lighting ... I've never achieved, " Jermaine Jackson lashes. Behind him marched slides revealing Internet addresses. All translated very roughly ¯ voice- off ¯ by David Serero.

As for the songs, they are interpreted in playback. It was agreed that, Jermaine Jackson, he is accompanied on stage "an orchestra" but "David Serero was canceled at the last minute."

"False," says the producer, who had proposed musicians "he refused." David Serero against attack: "I had him however said that the French public would not accept it in playback singing. I had a lot of cancellations, I saw the spectators leave the room in the middle ... Criticisms are fully justified. " No wonder, he says, that "nobody but me has wanted the last twenty years, producing this artist has-beens . " It is in this atmosphere execrable as the tour's brother Michael Jackson ends Wednesday at casino Barrière Lille.

:)

Jermaine has his priorities right, show is not show without Louis XVI décor.
Did I understood right that Jermaine wanted to "sing" playback, but Serero wasn't having it?

Yes that decor would have made all the difference. Keep dreaming Jermaine.
 
and that was the reason the audience walked out, no Louis XVI décor:cheeky:

It would be funny if it were not so sad. FAIL
 
Oh Jermaine! The producer has now called him a "has-been." That has got to sting a person with Jermaine's giant ego.

Funny thing is, from the start, in my opinion, this so-called musical made out of his book was a bad idea and just never made any sense.

He wants to be Michael so badly, that he is not taking advantage in the correct way, in my opinion.

I mean, first of all, he needs to pick up his dang guitar. In my opinion, he has no stage presence at all, but at least with his guitar, he can get into a "groove" and it won't be that noticeable. Without it, he just looks lost on stage.

This little venue would have been the perfect opportunity for him to do his OWN songs and maybe a few new songs. Letting the audience get to know him and his music again. Thus far, in my opinion, his continuing to ride Michael's coat tails, in a sense TRYING to be Michael, has done nothing for him. Poor thing!

No, I disagree. It was definitely the decor. Fill that stage full of Louis XVI furniture and taadaa.... Michael

:hysterical:
 
^ Or more fittingly, louis quartorze furniture, the sun king.

Clear a space in the trials forum for the next lawsuit, jermaine jacksun v david serero
 
Other newspaper like Le Parisien are trashing the show.

That sentence from David Serero is funny.

« personne à part moi n'ait voulu, depuis vingt ans, produire cet artiste has been ».
"Since the last 20 years, noboy wanted to produce this has been except me"

Maybe Jermaine took up more projects than he can chew. He had this "musical" comedy, tour and recording with brothers. If he had concentrated to get back with brothers first, start small venues and get their names back to peoples mind. He obviously thought he can take up where he left his career after Victory tour, but after being out of business over 25 years, he cannot expect people to come and see them the same way they did in early 80's, and the fact that their front singer is not there anymore. After doing some touring with brothers, then they should have gone to studio to record new stuff, and after that other things if he hd too much of time in his hands. To me it looks like he wanted many thing at the same time and all of them fell flat.

In my opinion, the biggest misconception the brothers had, not just Jermaine, but all of them, was that Michael's MASSIVE fan base would just fall in line and follow EVERYTHING the brothers decided to do.

Big, HUGE, mistake on their part. That's what you call "Learing The Hard Way," in my opinion.

I don't know how accurate this version of event is, but Jermaine holds some culpability. If David was running a cheap one man show why didn't Jermaine see that when the album was being recorded? Why didn't Jermaine have a French speaking staffer of his own to check the venue and stage set up? Why did Jermaine agree to perform if the rehearsal had proven unsuccessful. Did Jermaine pay attention to the controversy about Beyonce and the guiding tape playing during her song at the Presidential Inauguration? Did he think people wanted to pay to see him lipsync a performance? If his finances were limited in achieving this project why didn't he tone things down? I understand he wanted the staging to match his new costumes, but if he had financial limitations he should not have bought new costumes. The audience would have been satisfied with him wearing a good looking suit and seeing a couple of smart leather chairs on the stage.

It still goes back to the album he recorded with David last year. There was nothing unique or memorable about that standard song cover album. Other artist who have recorded albums of standards made the songs unique, they owned the songs as if they had never been done before and the songs reflected their style. That type of effort was not done with Jermaine's album. The duet Autumn Leaves was not really a duet, it was more like I'll do the first half, you do the second half. Their voices never came together or harmonized. I admit, I only listened to a couple of the songs completely and to a couple of more in part, it was too boring.

A not so bad google translation :

Jermaine Jackson Tour in France cancelled for unclear reasons


Jermaine Jackson has decided to cancel the last leg of his French show "Y'oure not alone" on Wednesday evening, January 30 at Lille. Officially, the singer is sick (double ear infection and eye infection). But since several days, many rumors have already been reported that the cancellation is due to serious dispute with the producer of his show, which was said in the Jackson clan would not keep his promises.
In addition, other rumors point out that the tour's older brother Michael Jackson was a fiasco, a flop in terms of attendance. And another show planned three concerts scheduled in February with his brothers are also canceled, this time due to clearly insufficient filling. A flop that produces these concerts, dubbed "the Jacksons" modestly puts on account of the confusion in the public mind between the two tours.
