Wow, the things you learn on Wikipedia...I know this might be old news, but I had no idea that he was married to his brother's ex-wife!
No mentioned of Word to the Badd!! the dis record he made for Michael, basically telling him to shape up. Donmega60645 15:24, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Word to the badd
Shouldn't there be anything in here about that song? Why he wrote it and stuff? Isn't that song the reason why Jermaine never got a record deal again? Aeneiden-Rex 08:54, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
There is a mention of the incident in the article for his album, You Said, which can be found under Discography.
This song is mentioned in the article but is incorrectly titled "World to Badd"
[edit] Celebrity Big Brother 2007!
I wonder if Michael Jackson would really watch his brother on Big Brother. Untitled and unidentified1 19:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Apparently so. http://www.musicrooms.net/cm/live/templates/?a=3930&z=3 — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
The YouTube clip [1] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJZEOkqTSuU) has been removed due to copyright infringement. Maybe this could be used, instead ??: http://notw.typepad.com/celebbigbrother/2007/01/defending_jerma.html Daxx wp 03:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)Daxx_wp
[edit] Wrong information currentlty on the page
I have been watching Celebrity Big Brother and Jermaine is not hard to converse with at all, he appears talkative, smiling, and chats to the fellow housemates in a mellow and calm way. Who ever thought it was right to put on page that it is hard to talk to Jermain, is very wrong. It will now be removed.
It has now been changed to an accurate representation of what is actually happening in the Big Brother house.
[edit] Name
Can we confirm that he is officially called Muhammad Abdul Aziz rather than just a.k.a.? I think if he wanted to be called Muhammad, he wouldn't have gone into Big Brother as Jermaine Jackson. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 11:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Muhammad is his muslim name. He may use it when he lives in Bahrain and use Jermaine when he is in Christian nations. Though he is muslim, many members of his family are Christians (Jehovahs witness).
[edit] Racism
Given the numerous comments in various fora over phraseology employed in Celebrity Big Brother, shouldn't this article have a subheading "Racism" (as has Jade Goody's) over the use of the term "white trash" by the subject of the article?

I'm not sure what point the last person is making about racism. In all cases should this not be "alleged racism". I have seen letters to the newspapers from people saying it is racism, and comments on blogs (e.g. commentisfree) to this effect. As somebody who watched this live at the time I think that it has been taken out of context. Not only was Jermaine trying to calm the tensions in the house, but he was telling his distraut housemate that they should remember that the programme producers put contraversial personalities in the house to stir things up. He said some people find that entertainment, saying (in relation to the latest antics of Goody's mother Jackiey that "they are what in the USA they call 'white trash'". (He mouthed 'white trash', he did not say the words, and he was clearly not applying the label himself. He was actually making a profound comment about the people who look down on others and use them as a form of entertainment. He has been the most respectful and kind person in the house - towards all the housemates - that I find it shocking anyone can twist what he was saying to say it is a form of racism.

And I find it shocking that you watched the show live on the internet. ;)
--- I think its quite important to mention the 'white trash' comment as according to some newspapers this is being investigated by the poice. the link was on this page but has since been removed, i assume by fans of jackson. if the pages relating to goody, o'meara and lloyd carry info on the "racism" then jermaine jackson's page should too. wikipedia is meant to be an unbiased collection of info remember!!
I changed the sentence on white trash from the Daily Star's false versions of events (this is a very low brow tabloid, not a reputable source) and replace it with what actually happened, backed up with a reference.Fay06 00:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
