How often would he beat you?
2
Too much.
3
Would he only use the belt?
4
Do you remember any time in your whole life when you weren't performing?
5
Wow.
6
Not really.
7
No. We've always performed.
8
Yeah.
9
Even when we were small kids.
10
My mother caught me making my bed one day and I was singing.
11
And she said to my father that I could sing and he didn't want to hear of it.
12
You know, he said that Jermaine's the lead singer, not Michael.
13
My mother said, Joe, you really should hear him sing.
14
He can sing.
15
He goes, no, Jermaine's the lead singer of the group, and that's it.
16
She forced him to listen to me.
17
And once he listened to me, From that moment on, I was the lead single in the group.
18
Yeah, we weren't wealthy, but we weren't poor.
19
My father always prepared for the family, as well as my mother, always wonderful.
20
That's very important.
21
They made sure we got the right things for ourselves.
22
Strong parents, I think, are very important, especially in our situation.
23
Well, on stage for me was home.
24
I was most comfortable and still most comfortable on stage.
25
But once I got off stage, I was like very sad.
26
Really?
27
Yes.
28
And sad from the beginning?
29
Sad since it's first started?
30
Lonely, sad, having to face with popularity and all of that.
31
Christine, what school do you go to?
32
Do you go to a school?
33
Yeah, I go to a private school in the valley.
34
Do the kids stare at you because you're so rich and famous? Do they?
35
Do they stare at you? not because of it.
36
It's kind of a school like the kids already in the business.
37
There are other singers, dancers, and aerialists, and jugglers and tumblers and so on.
38
I remember precisely going to Motown Studios to record.
39
Right across the street from the studio was a park
40
and I could hear the roar of the you know the little league team and they're playing
41
soccer and football and volleyball and they were playing baseball.
42
And I remember a lot of the times looking back and really hiding my face crying.
43
When I was really little, around 11 and 12, I was under contract with Motown
44
and I would have to go to the recording studio go
45
and make these albums because the summer tour was right around the corner
46
and right across the street from the recording studio was a ballpark
47
and I could hear the kids you know the roar of the crowd
48
and playing and catching ball and having fun and playing tennis
49
and some of those times I
50
so passionately wanted to just go over there just play a little bit
51
and not go to the recording studio
52
and sing just to you know have some fun with the kids
53
and i couldn't i mean on tour backstage without musicians
54
and the singers and i feel growing up for ages for a lot of my life
55
when i was i remember all the time when i was still they used to call me a 45 year old midget, wherever I went.
56
I used to always hear that and I just would hear it.
57
Never thought about it.
58
When you were little and you started to sing, did you know you were that good?
59
I never thought about it.
60
But you don't miss then, not ever having had what they call an average childhood?
61
Like a- No, not really.
62
We get to do things kids do in the neighborhood.
63
Well, you don't get to do things that other children get to do.
64
You know, the simple things that they so much take for granted.
65
Having friends and slumber parties and buddies and just hanging out.
66
There was none of that for me.
67
I didn't have any friends when I was little.
68
My brothers were my friends.
69
In bed, sleep at night, I was up doing clubs.
70
I was doing club dates.
71
Three in the morning.
72
The striptease would come on after us.
73
You know, I was, we were performing.
74
And we were, we did have friends.
75
My brothers were like my friends, but we worked.
76
We worked, we worked them for Christmas, they were my birthdays, and we were very strict to Hopelessnesses.
77
From one concert to the next, it wasn't concert, it was the recording studio.
78
It wasn't that, it was TV shows or interviews or picture sessions.
79
There was always something to do.
80
What would you do if you had a vacation?
81
I mean, a real vacation where you just get off and away from singing and anything that looked like work.
82
What would you do?
83
What would I do?
84
I really don't know.
85
You've never really done it.
86
In my life, I really had one vacation and that was last Christmas.
87
Outside of that, let me think what I did.
88
I just stayed home.
89
I watched television.
90
I read.
91
And I remember one time we were getting ready to go to South America and everybody was packed up in the cars, ready to leave and go, and the plane was about to.. and I hid.
92
I was crying while I was hiding, because I really did not want to go.
93
I wanted to play.
94
I did not want to go.
95
No, he's gonna kill me.
96
He's gonna get you still worried about me.
97
Well, he feels that he was stretched.
98
I'm glad he said it.
99
Now I'll say it yes.
100
Did he ever beat you?
101
Yes, he did.
102
And that was difficult to take, getting beaten and going on stage and performing.
103
Yes.
104
My father would always say, don't mess up, you know?
105
And I felt I knew every part.
106
And if something went wrong, I felt I could cover it.
107
Well, I didn't have it that hard because he used me as the example.
108
It was like, do it like Michael.
109
You know, and he practiced us with a belt in his hand.
110
And if you miss a step, expect to be...
111
He'd look in the audience, he'd make a face like this.
112
He'd go, I can't mess up, he's going to kill us.
113
It would just scare the bejesus out of you.
114
He'd be like, everybody's clapping, he'd be like, looking at your heart, like, don't you mess up.
115
And I'm like, oh, God.
116
I'm in trouble at this show.
117
And he would tear you up if you missed.
118
And so we, not only were we practicing, we were nervous rehearsing because he sat in the chair and he had this bell in his hand.
119
And if you didn't do it the right way, he would tear you up, really get you.
120
And I got it a lot of times, but I think my brother Marlon got it the most because he had a hard time at first.
121
And he tried so hard.
122
And it was always, do it like Michael, do it like Michael, you know,
123
but the others were very nervous And I was nervous too, you know, because he was tough.
124
He wanted me to, I guess maybe, I don't know if I was his golden child or whatever it was.
125
Some may call it a strict disciplinarian or whatever, but he was very strict, very hard, very stern.
126
Just a look would scare you, you know, and- Were you scared of him?
127
Very, frightened.
128
There's been times when he'd come to see me and I would get sick, you know, start to regurgitate as a child or as an adult.
129
I don't think he realizes to this day how scared, scared.
130
I mean scared, so scared that I would regurgitate.
131
You would vomit?
132
Mm-hmm. When would you vomit?
133
What would produce that sort of reaction in you?
134
his presence just seeing him and sometime I'd faint
135
and my bodyguards would have to hold me up I don't have you hearing today.
136
I'm scared of my father to this day.
137
My father walked in the room and God knows I'm telling you the truth.
138
I fainted in his presence many times.
139
I'll say once, to be honest.
140
I fainted once.
141
I've thrown up in his presence because when he comes in the room, and oh, it just aura comes, and my stomach starts hurting.
142
I know, like, I'm in trouble.
143
Now he's so different now.
144
He wants to be a better father.
145
I just wish he had learned that earlier.
146
Why are you still scared of him?
147
Because the scar is still there.
148
So I'm like an angel in front of him, not scared.
149
One day he said, why are you scared of me?
150
And I couldn't answer.
151
I felt like, and children, do you know what you've done?
152
How often would he beat you?
153
Too much.
154
Would he only use a belt?
155
Why do you do this to me?
156
No more than a belt.
157
What else would he use to hit you with?
158
Arnie cords.
159
whatever's around.
160
Throw you up against the wall as hard as you could.
161
He was left.
162
The way he would beat you was, you know, was hard.
163
Sometimes you take, you make a strip of nude first.
164
He would oil you down.
165
Your whole ritual, he would oil you down.
166
So when the flip of the, the ironing cord hit you, it would just, you know, and it was just like me dying.
167
And you just flip all over your face, your back, everywhere.
168
I always hear my mother, but no, Joe, you're going to kill him.
169
You're going to kill him.
170
I would just give up.
171
I thought there was nothing I can do.
172
And I hated him for it.
173
He would lose his temper.
174
I just remember hearing my mother scream, Joe, you're going to kill him.
175
You're going to kill him.
176
Stop it.
177
You're going to kill him, you know?
178
And I was so fast, you know, he couldn't catch me half the time.
179
But when he would catch me, oh, my God.
180
It was bad.
181
He hit me, I would hit him back, which was terrible.
182
And I would run around the house and hide and all that stuff.
183
But I would really get it more than anybody.
184
His car coming down the driveway drove, always throw this big Mercedes.
185
He drives real slow.
186
Shut up home.
187
Shut up home quick.
188
Boom.
189
Door slam.
190
Everybody runs to their room.
191
I guess sometimes I'd be in bed at night sleeping.
192
It's 12 at night.
193
The door is locked.
194
I'm giving you five seconds.
195
You're not open.
196
I'm going to kick it down.
197
He starts kicking it.
198
Boom.
199
Kick it.
200
Like breaking the door.
201
Why did you sign that contract today?
202
I go, I don't know.
203
He goes, well, sign it.
204
If you don't sign it, you're in trouble.
205
Did you decide?
206
I had to.
207
He was very physical.
208
He'd throw you and hit you as hard as he can.
209
Did you begin to feel that you were like a money-making machine boy?
210
Yeah.
211
I'll never forget one day he said, you guys ever stop singing, I'll drop you like a hot potato.
212
That's what he said.
213
You're going to hurt me.
214
He don't say that to children, and I never forgot it.
215
When he was beating you, did you hate him?
216
Yeah.
217
Strong hate.
218
That's why to this day I don't lay a finger on my children.
219
I don't want them to ever feel that way about me.
220
Ever.
221
And he didn't allow us to call him daddy.
222
And I wanted to call him daddy so bad.
223
He said I'm not daddy, I'm Joseph to you, you know?
224
I never felt love from him.
225
And he would never hold me or touch me.
226
We used to say to our mother, we'd say to each other, I'll never forget this, Janet and myself, we'd say, I'll say, Janet, shut your eyes.
227
She'd go, okay, let's shut.
228
I'd picture Joseph in a car and he's dead.
229
Did you feel sorry?
230
She'd go, no. That's what we'd do to each other as kids.
231
We'd play games like that.
232
She'd go, nope.
233
She'd go, nope.
234
That's how hateful we were.
235
He just, I don't think how much he hurt me with me as well.
236
But he's a genius.
237
The man is a genius.
238
At the same time, he was a genius.
239
He really is.
240
But Michael, he injured you when you were a child.
241
Yeah, but look what came out of it.
242
Well.
243
Maybe I wouldn't have the infection for the kids that I have today and wanted to help them.
244
And I totally forgive him for all of it, you know.
245
You have to.
246
but uh i don't allow my children to call me michael i say i'm daddy it's just the opposite
247
so when people say the abuse abuse that's not true that's not true at all

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
