He wasn't necessarily mean. He was just raising his kids the way he was raised.
And look what they turned out to be, they all turned out respectable, nice, well behaved, successful, and nice people. Do you think if they had a father who didn't care they would've turned out how they did?
And Michael said that he had become a much nicer person in more recent years.
He raised his children as he was raised. As people are different, some of his children where more sensitive and got extremely sad lives (Michael Jackson). But he wanted only that his children wouldn't work at a steelwork their whole lives for a poor amount of money, however he accomplished it extremely wrong.
Michael Jackson did not create the Jackson 5 his father did!
Michael Jackson was the lead singer because his father created the band The Jackson 5. His father noticed Michael liked to sing, and that was how he was the lead singer.
In my opinion his father was very greedy and when he heard Michael sing he knew that Michael was good and he will make a lot of money off of him so, he forced Michael to sing the lead to the Jackson 5.
As he said in his own words, ever since he started performing with the Jackson 5.
The Jackson 5's father, Joe Jackson, managed the band.

No, there is no relation between Randy and Ne-Yo.

His father had originally wanted Jermaine to be the lead singer, but his mother Katherine made Joe listen to Michael sing and that was it. He made Michael the lead singer of the Jackson 5! that's how he got into the group, he was a Jackson brother and a very strong singer.
The Jackson five rehearsed for several hours a day, until their father Joseph Jackson though they did satisfactory.
His father pushed the boys every day for rehearsal so they could get small gigs around Gary and the Chicago area. After their appearance at the Apollo theater is when they got the audition for Motown. That's how Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 got started. I would give the credit to their father.
Joe abused him when he was a child. Hitting him, whipping him with his belt. But Joe also did start the Jackson 5. Michael did not have a good relationship with his father
The brothers, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Michael were the original members of the Jackson 5. Jermaine left the band when they moved from the Motown record label, so Randy, the youngest brother, became a part of the newly christened The Jacksons, as they had to leave their previous name with Motown.
The Jackson five was a singing group of 5 brothers... Jackie,Tito,Jermaine,Marlon and Michael Jackson. they called their singing group the Jackson 5! That is all that it means,5 boys by the last name of Jackson... needed a name for their band or group..like the Jonas Brothers!
