You think so too ... I hoped it was just me!

I don't get it. A lot of people use those tricks cuz they can't sing. Mike can sing, so what's the point?

LOL ask MidnightMover.... he will tell you!

TRASH

You guys complain too much. I, for one, am glad that mj can still sing...and it's a nice song.

I don't like Akon so I'm not enjoying this song.

Thank you!

while I don't like the song a real lot, MJ's vocals sound awesome, and I am sure it will be a massive hit.

Big shout to PatrickS though for posting this... I heard it here first!

That line will be confusing to parents who know about Michael's 2003 trial but not Akon's production company.

This song is very forgettable. If I had any hope in this song being any good, it was quickly evaporated once I heard Akon wailing "Konvict Music!" . MJ can come up with A LOT better than this and this song is proof that Akon and Michael Jackson are NOT a winning combination together.

MJ is still a great singer. I just hate Akon.

Like everyone else here, I'm ignoring the Akon bits and trying to pick out MJ's bits. Mike's ad-libs at the end don't have the power you'd expect from him. Akon's ad libs seem stronger. Maybe Mike was holding it back because this is Akon's track, but then he didn't seem too concerned about that when he sang with Eddie Murphy.

UPDATE: Fuck, this song gets annoying REAL QUICK! I just listened to it for the third time and it's already wearing out my last nerve.

a disgrace to Michael's legacy

Medicore rubbish. Sounds like every Akon or Ne-Yo song you'd expect to be churned out on the radio from their little factory of averageness.

1) I love Mike.
2) That was boring as hell.
3) Get rid of the excess fools Mike!!!

Still waiting....

It's aight. Still hate Akon tho.

i dont hear mike clear , why does his voice sound that weak. sounds like mj is trying to sound like gaykon

Glad to hear something new from him, but I am not that impressed! MIKE WORK ALONE PLEASE! Akon is so annoying!

@ the responses.

But in hindsight, this WILL be a hit on the charts, lol.

We can all hope the new album will be real good tho...WHENEVER it comes.

You know, about the only people under the sun I wish MJ did not collborate with are as follows:

1. Nickelback
2. Akon

And here we are.

Are these Michael Jackson vocals recently recorded???

Or just a 1982 demo recently processed/auto-tuned?!??

Cinnie said:

You wrong for that!

It´s really nice to see that MJ is doing something musically and maybe the album is going to be out "sooner than they thought" as he said. This gave me a little hope, even though I am dissapointed with this song. This sounds like an AKON song not an MJ song. Akon sucks and his voice is annoying.

ya'll hate too much
#1 this is Akon's song
#2 this is Akon's song
#3 this is not Mikes song, its Akons

for ya'll to hate on it is basically like hating on mikes duets with Paul McCartney because they didnt really capture the essence of Mike, because they were songs for Paul, like this is a song for Akon!

I'm just glad he still has vocal chords that produce more than "I love you more"
