Is New Michael Jackson Single, “Breaking News,” Really Him?
Epic Records is cashing in on Pop legend Michael Jackson by releasing MICHAEL on December 14. The album will contain unreleased tracks that were recorded over the past few years. The first posthumous single to be lifted from the project is “Breaking News” but close relatives of Jackson are arguing that the vocals on the new single are not Jackson. Below, is what what Jackson’s nephew had to say about the whole situation:
There’s many MJ vocal impersonators. Some better than others. But there is only ONE Michael Jackson. Deceptively merging shady vocals with MJ samples (from prior MJ records) will never fool me. Why they would ignore the obvious, look the other way and rush a suspicious track that was NEVER on my Uncle’s radar is beyond me. I’m disgusted, disappointed and saddened. And before the media starts to smear our name, just remember we are COMMITTED (as our Uncle Michael always knew) to protect his name and his amazing legacy he worked his whole life for. We have nothing to gain and we know they will try to drag our name through the mud. But we know how much he valued his legacy and his fans. And cheating either is unacceptable. “Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons”
Sounds like Jason Malachi to me too. The vibrato is a dead give away that it’s not my uncle. Fans, I am so sorry you were put through this. If you heard the acapella you would be even more disgusted. Sampled breaths after sampled breaths mixed in with fake vocals to try to fool you. They said this is 100% my Uncle. Not 70, 80 or 90 but a 100%. Every line, every word. My Uncle’s legacy didn’t deserve this! [SOURCE 1] [SOURCE 2]
The single is pure garbage, not much else to say. At least if the main reason for releasing a new Jackson album is primarily for financial gain, give the fans quality. Wow, people are just too bold nowadays and lack respect. View the Kadir Nelson-painted artwork for MICHAEL after…

Congratulations BET: You Put On Your Best Awards Show, In Years
We just wanted to take this post out to congratulate the BET Network for finally finding the right formula to produce an entertaining and well organized award show. Keeping in tradition, the show clocked in a 3+ hour runtime but that was okay because the performances were brilliant with the exception of maybe 1 or 2. Kanye West’s performance was filled with egoism but more importantly, power.
Fast forward to Chris Brown’s Michael Jackson‘s tribute performance and the guy displayed his admiration for Jackson the best way he could, his dance moves. Brown did eventually break down into crying making him unable to get through his cover of “Man On the Mirror.” Many people had negative comments for the young entertainer but it was a great moment; it completely showed how gracious and grateful Chris brown was for the opportunity.
It was also nice to see El Debarge return to the stage; jamming to the old school hits was so nostalgic. Accompanying that greatness was Prince, receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award. With the help of the amazing Janelle Monáe, Esperanza Spalding, Alicia Keys and Patti Labelle to cover some of Prince’s hits and Prince’s so humble yet icon exuding speech, it was 20 minutes of good television.
The night was filled with other great moments: performances, acceptance speeches, deserving award winners. The atmosphere was just drenched in happiness and positivity, good job BET.

“This Is It”, Michael Jackson
Just a short while ago at midnight the title track to Michael Jackson’s documentary, ‘This Is It’, premiered on the official site of the King of Pop. This song will be the lead from the two-disc soundtrack to be released on October 27. “This Is It” features background vocals from his brothers and was recorded during his 1991 sessions of the Dangerous era.
Now that Jackson has passed away hearing any sort of new music from him will be a treat. The song, like this one, does not need to powerful, epic nor classic to be appreciated. The finger snaps, the “woo’s”, the harmonies etc… priceless!

This Is It: New Movie Clip + First Single from Soundtrack
The documentary revealing the footage from Michael Jackson’s rehearsals of his This Is It tour will indeed have a soundtrack. In fact a song that leaked about a year ago between himself and Akon will serve as the lead single. The song is entitled “Hold My Hand”.
There is no denying that Akon has certainly become one the greater melodists of this decade. With that being said, “Hold My Hand” is a cool mid-tempo track in which both of the males’ vocals complement each other to the point where they’re almost an identical match. We can see this song being played during a montage of clips in slow motion stirring up some emotions.
Also, a clip from the documentary of Jackson performing “Human Nature” teases the viewers of just how great the concert would have been. What got us the most was the fact that he sounds identical to his records, wow. He sounds exactly like when the record was first released, that’s amazing.
