Today...

...she spends most of her time watching her grandson, London Blue. Is this really worth mentioning? Rogwan 23:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No its not worth mentioning.--70.149.148.56 (talk) 16:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second Paragraph

I think the both opening paragraphs needs to be reworked. "Maureen Reillette "Rebbie" Brown (née Jackson), professionally known as Rebbie Jackson, (born May 29, 1950 in Gary, Indiana) is an American singer, best known as the oldest child of the successful Jackson family and sister of pop icons Michael, and Janet. As a singer, she is most famous for the 1984 hit "Centipede".

Born in Gary, Indiana, she was the oldest child of Katherine and Joseph Jackson. She had a musical family background; her brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael were in a band known as the Jackson 5, which later included Randy under the name The Jacksons. She is also the older sister of La Toya and Janet."

The first paragraph states that she is the oldest child, there is no need to mention it again in the second paragraph nor does it need to state that she is the older sister of Janet and La Toya,we've figured that out.

I think you should combine both paragraphs into one strong one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by destiney67.171.3.253 (talk) 02:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to the discography?

Even though the discography section still exists on the page, the page which had it more analyzed is not here anymore? What happened? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.167.114.164 (talk) 04:26, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Latoya jackson is not a pop icon.

Why does this article state she is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.192.46.157 (talk) 05:27, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
