“People always want to know what it’s like to be a Jackson,” laments Tito Joe “Tj” Jackson, youngest son of The Jackson 5 favorite Tito Jackson and one of the stars of Lifetime’s new The Jacksons: Next Generation at the start of tonight’s series’ premiere. “I don’t know how to answer that, because I was never not a Jackson.” The Jacksons: Next Generation isn’t the first time we’ve seen members of pop music’s First Family on an unscripted series since Michael died in 2009. Lifetime’s sister network A&E debuted the short-lived The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty later that year and Tj’s aunt La Toya had some success with … Continue reading →

Music fans the world over can mark June 25, 2009 as one of those eerie days that force them to recall exactly what they were doing in the moments before they heard tragic news. Michael Jackson died that day, at the age of 50, and the world was not ready to see him go.No entertainer could ever fill the void that Mj left behind, but his memory has not faded in the three years that he's been gone. In the past 12 months alone, we've seen Jackson-inspired productions, heard narratives from celebrities who continually cite him as a key influence, and this summer his face will be plastered on Pepsi cans to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his classic album Bad.

Burbank, Calif. -- Guided by a thumping bass line from their backing band, the Jackson brothers strut forward to a row of four microphones, thrusting their pelvises along the way, before launching into "Can't Let Her Get Away," a song their superstar sibling released on his "Dangerous" album. If they had afros and matching powder blue suits, it might feel like 1977 again.
It doesn't. They're casually sporting sunglasses, workout gear and a few more pounds than when they, along with the future King of Pop, were simply known as the Jackson 5. (Also, "Can't Let Her Get Away" was released in 1991 after the group fizzled out.)
Nearly three years since Michael died while preparing for his comeback tour, four of his brothers – Marlon, Jermaine, Tito and Jackie – are set for their own return to the stage as The Jacksons. It hasn't been easy.

Straight from the tabloids to the television, The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty chronicles the personal and professional lives of the Jackson brothers as they reunite in the aftermath of the passing of their beloved brother, Michael. This six-hour docu-series provides an intimate behind-the-scenes peek into the daily real-life drama that the Jackson brothers experience due to the tabloids, documenting their relationships with one another, their children and their wives as they struggle to balance the demands of their professional commitments and celebrity. Prior to Michael’s untimely death, the brothers planned on celebrating their 40th anniversary with the ‘rebirth’ of the Jackson Five and a small concert. But both the preparation and performance become extremely emotional as family members and longtime friends come out to show their support in the wake of tragedy. Primarily shot ‘in the moment,’ The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty also includes some documentary elements to illuminate...

Words are, Janet Jackson will be joining Jackson Five in place of late brother Michael Jackson on their rumored 2010 reunion tour. According to The Sun, big brother Jermaine Jackson has come out with the revelation when he was promoting his new reality TV show "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty" in Australia.
"We had a conference call and Janet has agreed to join us on tour," Jermaine allegedly said over the matter. The British tabloid, additionally, reported that although Janet has been persistent in refusing to join her surviving brothers on stage, she finally gave her thumbs up considering that it will be a fitting tribute to Michael, who passed away in June 2009.
Jermaine Jackson has constantly pursued his brothers for a Jackson Five's reunion tour since late 2007.
Youngest brother Michael, however, was reported to be opposing the idea when he was alive. "My brothers and sisters have my full love and support,...

One would think that Michael Jackson’s brothers would do anything for a paycheck right now. But that isn’t necessarily the case. A&E has reportedly offered the family a second season of their reality show The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty. But sources tell TMZ the brothers haven’t responded to the offer yet. Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Jermaine are the ones predominantly featured on the show, and would probably benefit by having a steady paycheck for another season. But insiders think the brothers are holding out for something bigger and better. We don’t blame them—the show...

Tomorrow night, Michael Jackson's brothers will move into minute 12 of their 15 minutes of re-found fame. The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty premieres on A&E and is certain to finally show why Michael was such a fool for leaving the Jackson 5. Actually, my bet is that A&E's Freaky Family Dynasty will prove that Michael was saner than we all thought. According to A&E's website, the show will allow "unprecedented access into their world as they record new material and rehearse for a concert celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Jackson Five." Never mind that the lead singer is gone. Are the Jackson brothers capitalizing on Michael's death? A cynic would say that Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Tito are crassly capitalizing on their brother's tragic death in a desperate attempt to rescue their own forgotten careers from irrelevance. But the brothers say...

Sunday night (December 13) saw the premiere of "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty," the reality show that began as a documentary about a Jacksons comeback tour that would be a tie-in with brother Michael's "This Is It" concerts. After Michael's sudden, tragic death, the idea morphed into a show about the aftermath. The two-hour premiere focused on the four surviving members of the Jackson 5 — Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon — but the real star was absent brother Michael.
The four brothers quickly defined their roles on the show, but they essentially fell into familiar reality show roles: Jermaine is the group's alpha dog and leader, Marlon is the jokester, Tito is the no-nonsense brother and Jackie is the ultra-laid back zen master. Problematically, the show only really offers drama through conflict, but most of the confrontations on the show felt less than genuine. In the key scene, the quartet are working...

Earlier this year, the Jackson brothers teamed up for their A&E miniseries "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, which premiered Sunday, but in the middle of the show's production they lost a vital member of the family, their superstar brother Michael. Even though they suffered a great loss, they decided to complete the show they had already started.
Still, they made sure they took much-needed time off from production to mourn the loss of their brother. "We took time off to mourn, a lot of time," Marlon told MTV News. "And what I should say is that we appreciate the fact that our production team gave us the time and made sure that we were ready to come back."
Marlon added that the crew behind the series,...

Jermaine Jackson has said that he and his brothers never considered cancelling their reality show. Jackson, who appears with his brothers Tito, Marlon and Jackie in The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, said that they decided to continue making the programme after the death of their brother Michael. "The fact that [Michael died] right during filming... we never had any question in our minds to stop the show," Jackson told the New York Post. "We wanted to continue. We felt this was the best connection to continue to keep [Michael's] legacy alive in a dignified way. "We had to stop and mourn - and we're still mourning for God knows how long - but we feel the fans are the reason we're here and wanted to continue that connection [with them]."

Michael’s brothers are making their big reality debut!
Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon Jackson are premiering their new reality series, “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty,” at 9 p.m. tonight on A&E — but will you be tuning in? It’s been less than sixth months since Michael’s tragic death, and now the brothers are allowing “unprecedented access into their world as they record new material and rehearse for a concert celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Jackson Five,” according to the show’s official Web site.
The show will reportedly give a lot of new insight into each of the brothers’ lives, including their relationship with their families and each other. It will probably be interesting to see what they’re up to, since they haven’t really been in the spotlight for a while, but we’re wondering if an entire series is really necessary. Couldn’t...
