If you haven't heard already, the original members of the Jackson 5 (Jermaine, Jackie, Tito, and Marlon) are reuniting for the first time to go on a nationwide tour. Now, upon hearing this I was super excited. I am pretty sure that I told you all about how my FANDOM developed and matured, from being a teenybopper Jackson 5 fan, to a full blown Michael Jackson fan. Now we know that Michael is Michael is Michael but, there's a difference.
I have always stressed the importance of learning to appreciate the entirety of Michael's career and I've always been SUPER into the Jackson 5 but, I haven't decided whether or not to splurge on this tour.
I have no doubt in my mind that it'll be emotional to hear Jackson 5 songs without Michael there. I am depending on my fan friends and really just going to open my heart to accept the fact that the Jackson 5 will be performing without Michael, the 5th member, the 5th brother, the VOICE.
What say you?

And of course, stay tuned to MJFANGIRL to hear about MY final decision.
This is a touchy subject for many. There are some hardcore J5 fans who say that J5 can do just as well without Michael as they did with Michael. As much as I want to give the brothers their just due respect, I find that very hard to swallow, I am not sure if they really grasp how MUCH Michael's voice AND charisma, as you said, is integral to the J5 sound and stage presence. Since the announcement of Bad 25, I made the *not* so difficult decision to save my money.
