    The Jackson Five to set foot in Armenia

    YEREVAN, February 6 (RIA Novosti) - One of the biggest American phenomena in pop music during the early 1970s, The Jackson Five, is planning to build an entertainment center in the Armenian capital of Yerevan, the group's bass player said Monday.


    Jermaine Jackson, an older brother of "King of Pop" Michael Jackson, said the center would consist of a hotel, a restaurant or cafe and the Jackson 5 television company.


    The musician, who is currently visiting Armenia, did not reveal the estimated cost of the project, but added that after the center was completed, the rest of the band would probably come to Yerevan to hold a concert.


    Grigor Seropyan, an American businessman and the organizer of Jackson's visit to Armenia, said the main goal of the new entertainment center was to attract foreign musicians, so that they would tell the world about Armenia and its culture.


    Pop sensation The Jackson Five - brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael - was formed by their father Joe in 1966 in Gary, Indiana. Michael Jackson, the youngest in the band, was the lead singer who propelled the group to the peak of popularity in 1972 during a tour in Britain.

    Jermaine Jackson Plans Armenia Project




    YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) - Jermaine Jackson has revealed plans to build an entertainment complex in Armenia and said he hoped that his brother, Michael Jackson, will join in a reunion concert marking its opening.


    Jackson, a singer and bass guitar player who has pursued a solo career, is on a 12-day visit to this impoverished landlocked Caucasus Mountain nation. The 51-year-old said the complex could include a hotel, a restaurant and a television company.


    The Jackson 5 - which included brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael - was formed by their father Joe in the 1960s in Gary, Indiana. Michael Jackson, the youngest in the band, helped propel the group to its peak of popularity in 1972 during a tour in Britain.


    The Jacksons' last album was released in 1989.

    Next up for Jacksons -- Armenia?


    Jermaine's plans don't exactly rock city of Gary

    GARY | Tuesday's news that Jermaine Jackson plans to build an entertainment complex in the rugged mountain nation of Armenia was not seen locally as, well, germane.


    Gary Mayor Scott King said the announcement didn't appear to affect the long-running but idle plans to build a performing arts center in the Jackson family's native city in cooperation with Jermaine Jackson's more famous brother, Michael.


    "Everything ... is on hold," King said. "(Jermaine Jackson's announcement) is really of no impact either way."


    The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Jermaine Jackson revealed plans to build an entertainment complex in the former Soviet republic of Armenia, which borders on Iran and Turkey in the Caucusus Mountains.


    Jermaine Jackson's proposed complex may include a hotel, restaurant and television company. The 51-year-old solo entertainer said he hoped that Michael Jackson would join him for a reunion concert marking the opening of the center, the news service reported.


    Jermaine and Michael were two of the five members of the Jackson 5, a group formed by their father Joe in Gary in the 1960s. The group peaked in popularity in the early 1970s and released its last album, "2300 Jackson Street," in 1989.


    That address was the site of the Jackson family home, which would have been moved to the south side end of Gary in the 1990s to anchor a 400-acre Jackson family museum and theme park along the Borman Expressway.


    The plan never came to fruition. But in 2003, Michael Jackson appeared in Gary to announce his intentions to cooperate with the construction of a Michael J. Jackson Performance Arts Center in Gary. King said Jermaine Jackson never included in serious talks on that project.


    Michael Jackson signed a letter of agreement, but details like the cost and location of the project were never released.


    Progress toward building the center halted when its namesake was charged with molesting a 13-year-old cancer victim. Jackson was eventually acquitted of all 10 criminal charges against him in the trial.


    King said Tuesday he wasn't sure where the performer stood on the project, especially in light of news reports speculating that the trial may have seriously depleted his financial reserves.


    King said that Jackson has been living in seclusion in a small Middle Eastern state since the life-changing trial.


    "We'd be receptive to any conversations, but I'm not going to try to track him down in Dubai," King said.

    :spinnen

    Michael und Madonna streiten sich, wer wohl reicher ist von Beiden. Madonna:" Ich bin so reich, dass ich die ganze Welt kaufen könnte."
    Michael grinst, zuckt lässig die Schultern, schiebt die Hände in die Hosentaschen und meint lakonisch:" Ich verkaufe aber nicht."


    Die ganze Welt ist ein Irrenhaus,
    Aber bei Mir ist die Zentrale.


    Fragt nicht Wo, fragt nicht Wann, fragt nicht Wieso
    ABER wir werden uns wiedersehen !

    Let’s Get Serious: Prince of Pop (brother to the King) wants to bring his kingdom to Armenia


    [unneccessary 'introduction' redacted]


    Brother Jermaine and his Afghan-native wife are in Armenia this week and plan to stay for two weeks. Says he’s here as a tourist. In February.


    At a somewhat surreal news conference Monday, journalists asked the kind of questions you ask someone when you really don’t know who he is or why he’s in front of you.


    Is it your first visit to Armenia? (Yes.) What are your impressions? (It’s a great place.) Etc.


    Then this stunning revelation: JermaineDon’tJustCallMeMichael’sBrother Jackson says he’s thinking about opening a “Jackson 5†musical complex. In Armenia.


    The King of Pop’s royal brother, age 52, is here, according to a press release “to get personally acquainted with the Armenian show-business marketâ€.


    Living in California, Jermaine, naturally, has an Armenian business partner. Grigor Serobyan told the Jackson 5 bass player (not to be confused with Tito, who of course you remember) about Armenia back in the 1980s, when the brothers reunited for a world tour that was four Jacksons’ resurrection to momentary stardom, and the beginning of Michael’s descent into permanent weirdness.


    Asked if he knew any other Armenians, Jermaine told reporters: “Kirk Kirkorianâ€.


    Jermaine Jackson says the family has an intention to build complexes in Europe and Arabic countries, with concert halls and hotels and TV companies where world-famous super stars will give concerts.


    “Studying Armenia, I want to understand what similar complex is possible to open here,†said Jermaine.


    Serobyan, who was born in Armenia but hasn’t lived here for 30 years, says things are only in the talking stage now but: “If it’s possible to realize then the world’s superstars will come to Armenia and tell about this country all over the world.â€


    The Related-to-King-of-Pop was aided by beauty queen Gohar Harutyunyan (Miss Armenia 1998) who said that interpreting for Jermaine and Mrs. Jackson was “not simply work, but a great pleasureâ€.


    At the end of press conference one of the reporters asked Jermaine to sing something from his hits.


    “When the complex opens, then I’ll sing,†he said.

    Die amerikanische Musikerfamilie Jackson will in der armenischen Hauptstadt Jerewan ein Unterhaltungszentrum unter dem Namen Jackson-5 bauen. Das teilte laut Meldungen der Nachrichtenagentur Novosti-Armenija am Montag der afroamerikanische Sänger und Bassgitarrist Jermaine Jackson, der Bruder des weltberühmten Sängers Michael Jackson, auf einer Pressekonferenz in Jerewan mit.


    Er berichtete, dass das Zentrum aus einem Hotel, einem Restaurant oder einem Café und einem Fernsehsender mit Namen Jackson 5 bestehen werde.


    Jermaine Jackson sagte, dass die anderen Mitglieder der Familie Jackson, auch Michael, nach Abschluss der Bauarbeiten in die armenische Hauptstadt kommen und wieder zusammen als Jackson 5 ein Konzert geben könnten.


    Der amerikanische Unternehmer Grigor Seropian, Organisator von Jermaine Jacksons Besuch, sagte, dass er ausländische Stars nach Armenien einladen wolle, "damit sie der ganzen Welt über Armenien und die armenische Kultur berichten". Er sagte aber auch, dass noch kein Antrag auf ein Grundstück für das neue Vergnügungszentrum bei der Stadtverwaltung eingereicht worden sei.


    Die amerikanische Popgruppe Jackson 5 wurde 1966 in Gary (Indiana) von dem Familienvater Joe Jackson gegründet. Mitlieder waren die Brüder Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon und Michael als Leadsänger. Die höchste Populärität erreichte die Gruppe bei ihrer England-Tournee 1972.(RIA)
