Just for fun, which siblings did you think were the most talented and why. Of course I am assuming 99% of us will put Michael number 1 and Janet number 2, but where you rate the other 7.
Rebbie Jackson (Maureen Reilette)
Jackie Jackson (Sigismund Esco)
Tito Jackson (Toriano Adaryll)
Jermaine Jackson (Jermaine LaJuan)
La Toya Jackson
Marlon Jackson
Randy Jackson (Steven Randall)
This is my ranking Scores 10 = Musical God, 5 = Moderately Musical 0= Dead musically
1. Michael Jackson - no one even comes close, the king of pop wrote performed and danced like a God. Wrote some of the best and most mermorable music of all time, greatest dancer and showman, pure musical genius, could even play piano and guitar and had melody. An inspiration of global success. 12/10
2. Janet (Damita Jo) - Very talented singer and dancer, also wrote, had major success - charisma and could act too. She really proved herself and would easily be number one in any family, if not related to Michael Jackson! 9¾/10
Then a big drop to......... 4 Jacksons with some musical talent
3. Jermaine - Despite the fact he is crazy with this Nation of Islam thing, goving his kids wacky names and can't keep his pants up, Jermaine can sing, play and has had a few hits. He definitely has musical talent and stands out in the other 7 Jacksons. Long but not that successful career, plus he is one greasy looking dude with that activator in his hair. You Jermaine the 80s are over, but is forgiven for his bookabout Michael which almost atoned for Word to the Badd. 6/10
4. Tito - He played guitar and is the man. Also apparently wrote some of the Jacksons music, closest to be a sensitive Jackson liie Michael and he also was father to 3T, another Jackson family success. 5/10
5. Jackie - The eldest Jackson known for his singing and dancing ability, Jackie actually had a solo album or 3 of his own and contributed the more mature baritone in the early J5 and Jackson stuff. Jackie also wrote many of the hit songs for the Jacksons with Michael and Randy. 4/10
6. Randy - The drug stuff and wacky behaviour is compensated by the fact he was in the J5 and Jacksons and he was also a writer and led his own group for a while. Randy like Jackie also wrote with Michael many of the Jackson hits and even a few solo ones. 3½/10
A huge drop to 3 siblings with little or no talent.
7. Marlon - Had the bad luck of being next to Michael in age, Marlon could dance but only after much intensive training, his singing was mediocre at best and always in Michael's shadow, still a good background fill in and he had a bit of success in 1987 with a hit called "Baby Tonight" which was a #2 R&B smash, follow up songs and albums went nowhere though. Still he at least had a heart and was known to be the jovial and talkative Jackson. For those of you who forgot who Marlon was, he was the one with the really big lips. 2/10
8. Rebbie - Never really into music and effectively left the family by marrying in 1968 so independent of the family circus, She returned in 1974/76 for the variety shows and the Jackson girls project. Michael wrote a song for her in 1984 which gave her a top 20 hit. Her voice was alright but teh catchiness of Centipede is what sold it, also the song was about a penis. Has not bothered the world of music since. 1½/10
9. La Toya - Easily the least talented of the lot, recorded many albums that all were dreadful and never troubled the charts. Known for her plastic surgery, Jack Gordon and selling Michael out. She was controlled by abusive husband Jack Gordon and stripped for Playboy. La Toya was always the family joke and this was reflected in her musical abilities of which were non existent. -3½/10
