The Jacksons: The Next Generation

So, you may not know or maybe you do, but there's a new Jackson breaking into the "biz". Austin Brown is the third child of Rebbie Jackson (the older sister of the late, great Michael Jackson) and his album 85 is set to be released sometime this year.  Now, immediately, the question that comes to mind is "is he as good as his uncle?" I think it's a little unfair to automatically compare him to one of the greatest stars of all time, but it's a little hard not to. For one, his vocal approach is similar to his uncle's - light and simple.  If that wasn't enough, he's also a dancer. Now, this is not to say that these characteristics are not present in many, if not all, of the Jacksons, but for right now it's all about Austin Brown. YouTube "experts" declare that he is bringing "real music" back. They're calling him the next Michael Jackson (in my opinion, there was only one and there will never be another Michael Jackson).  Michael Jackson fans seem to be behind him, but I'm not exactly sure. I want to know what you think. Check out his album trailer:
