Man, what a fuckin’ asshole this guy is. I don’t find this offensive. I thought it was a cool little tribute to the Jackson 5. Looks to me the only racist here, is no one other than Harry Connick Jr. himself.
Here’s the video segment of this controversy from the Australian show, “Hey Hey It’s Saturday”, which is pretty similar to the Gong Show.
Harry is an idiot.

Michael Jackson’s 1984 Pepsi commercial shoot with the Jackson brothers was never released to the public. 25 years later, US Weekly is the first to make it public before anyone else.
Watch it here:

This could explain Jackson’s troubled personal life. The man hasn’t been the same since this. Maybe this is the reason for bleaching his skin white and being addicted to drugs over the years?
This is shocking stuff.
The incident was in the Jackson 5 biopic TV movie, “The Jacksons”, by the way…but it will probably be in the Michael Jackson biopic for the big screen too, but the big screen movie version of this incident will probably be better than the TV version.

The Jackson 5 reunion maybe happening, but Michael Jackson himself isn’t joining them for a tour and album. Geez, talk about joining the Robert Plant bandwagon.
The King of Pop is currently busy in the studio working on a new solo record. He’s not doing a record with the Jackson’s.

Look like Jacko thinks he’s too big and famous for a Jackson 5 reunion. Oh well.

Jermaine Jackson one of the Jackson brothers confirmed that the Jackson 5 are reuniting sometime in 2009 for a new album and tour. The group is currently in the studio working on a new album too.

Wonder what their new stuff is going to sound like? Will the Jacksons stick to their old disco dance like roots? Or will they go to something completely different?
Either that or how would the classic Jackson 5 songs like “ABC”, “I’ll Be There”, “Rockin’ Robin”, etc. would sound like today since they are not kids anymore? That’s another scary thought.
