Jackson confessed that she wasn't a fan of the Jackson 5's iconic track 'I Want You Back' when she first heard it in the '60s.
The mother of ten children made the revelation in David Gest's documentary Michael Jackson : The Life Of An Icon, reports NME.
She explained: "I didn't like it at all, the song that the children sang were more like soul music and to me 'I Want You Back' didn't sound that way at all.
"The songs that were out at the time didn't sound like that. I guess (Motown head and co-writer) Berry Gordy wanted it to bring out a different style."
Gest's documentary Michael Jackson : The Life Of An Icon will be released on DVD on October 31.
It was recently reported that the Jackson family are organising a Michael Jackson tribute concert to be held in Tokyo, Japan in December.
