Where was Randy?


Down here in Australia we've seen the first two episodes. I've seen bits of each and was just wondering why Randy isn't in it? I think he was there in the first episode when they were playing basketball but besides that, nothing. Not even a mention of him.

I have no idea as to why he has chosen not to participate, which is clearly his right. I've seen all episodes and he is not in it. Was he part of the J5?

reply

No he was too young to be in the Jackson 5- he joined the group after Jermaine stayed behind at Motown when the J5 moved to Epic records and became known as "The Jacksons".

Based upon what Randy has said I gather he is very private these days and is mourning MJ's death too much to participate.

reply

Thank you. That's more of what I meant. I know he was too young to be a J5.

...and this show is called 'The Jacksons', not 'The Jackson 5', and Randy was a member of that group.

Carpe Noctem!

I realise he was never in the J5, only The Jacksons after they left Motown. However, I'm surprised if there was a decision made to not include him in the reunion. He's the most talented musician out of all the brothers so I can only guess that his head and heart isn't in it.

reply

He did mention on his twitter that he is a private person and it was too soon after his brother's death.

reply

Makes sense and we should respect Randy's wishes for privacy.

reply

He wasnt even mention on the show.

Randy *beep* up so much. He was once arrested for beating up his wife and I think his daughter as well.
