The Jackson Brothers In a secretly recorded interview, the late pop singer Michael Jackson, slammed several members of his family. Katherine Jackson The recording indicates Jackson wanted these segments of the interview off the record. The journalist agreed, but kept recording anyway. Now the tapes have been released online and they are very embarrassing. The entrance of Forest Lawn in Glendale, California, where Michael Jackson is buried Hear secret Michael Jackson tapes Shock Neverland tapes reveal what Jacko really thought about family MICHAEL Jackson made a series of blistering attacks on his family in secret taped interviews, we can reveal. The singer branded his brothers in the Jackson 5 LAZY MOANERS who just sat around relying on him to make them money... One by one he dubbed them DULL, a COPYCAT, a WOMANISER and ARGUMENTATIVE. Then he bitched about sisters La Toya and Janet. And he even called MUM Katherine "disappointing" in astonishing rants recorded with the ghost writer of his autobiography Moonwalk. Then Jacko, who died in June, realised he'd gone too far several times, snapping: "You can't print that." ... "The brothers didn't give me support," he snipes on one tape. "We'd be working on a TV show or video and they'd be sitting around moaning and groaning but I'd be watching and learning. "It takes a talent, but some people are lazy and don't want to develop anything." Then he goes through the original band members - Jackie, 58, Tito, 55, Jermaine, 54, and Marlon, 52 - in turn. ON TITO: "Tito is into the anatomy of how a car is built," scoffs Jacko who pinpoints him as one of the biggest whingers in the band. "He is a grease monkey. "He still goes to the hobby shop and buys airplanes and flys them. He loves putting them together - they're on these plastic things and you glue them. That is so boring." ON MARLON: "People used to call him ugly and make fun of him - and people would say, 'Which brother is that one?'. "He constantly imitates me on stage. Whatever I do he'll do right after me. I hate when that happens because he looks too "doo woppy" and so old-fashioned." ON JERMAINE: Jackson accused Jermaine - who split from first wife Hazel over a fling with another beauty - of being a womaniser and not having the self-belief to follow him as a successful solo act. Jermaine would either be looking for girls or going along with the jokes," said Jacko. As a songwriter he lambasted him for "always letting outside influences change what style and beauty he's created. "It always ends up not being his creation and changed in some type of way." ON JACKIE: The eldest brother was simply dismissed as stubborn and argumentative. "He approaches everything with so much negativity and doubting," stormed Jacko. ON RANDY: His youngest brother - who joined the group when they became The Jacksons - made the mistake of never taking Jacko's advice. "He doesn't listen and is real hard-headed," he said of Randy, now 47. "You say it's dark - he'll say it's daylight. And he has to be macho. I'll never forget the day we had a meeting with our producer who said you've got to stand up on your own. "Randy stood up and said: "I'm a man' - we are all started laughing." ... ON HIS MUM: Publicly Jackson has always insisted that Katherine, 78, was "the closest person in his life, a great mother and provider." But on the secret tapes he said: "She disappointed me. She did an interview (about him). I don't like her to talk. It's none of those people's business." ... ON JANET: ..."Janet is a tomboy. That is why it kills me to see her off and married. We did everything together and were just alike. We write a whole schedule for the day and follow it. It's a terrible loss." ... ON DAD JOE: "I would suffer if I had to spend a whole day with him... http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk
