I don't know if it was posted yet but apparently that "Opus Nine", which was a fake all along, was not released by Katherine but rather by someone working with her or something to that degree. Jackie and Tito said that Katherine didn't know of an "Opus Nine". | |

That's what I'm saying. I mean, when art is unfinished or hasn't been finalized before someone's death, it's just a devastating situation when you think about what should've and could've been. It's also a test of loyalty and generosity. What they did here is just....I can't even express in words of how I'm feeling right now. Check me out and add me on:

Well I hated Sony anyway so I guess I'm not as stunned by this. Hell I'm not even shocked. I kinda expected them to do something this foolish. [Edited 11/7/10 22:08pm] | |

that's so bad it's funny.. Couldn't they do better than that? I see a backlash coming over this, its not really even an attempt to be by michael, they'll probably say "we didn't say mike was on lead vocals" or some bullshit. Even the backgrounds are questionable, just bad man, really fucking bad. | |

Taryll just posted this ten minutes ago on Twitter:
to all the mj fans… regarding the song "breaking news" i am so sorry you have to deal with this. my uncle loved you so much and would not want it this way. However there are songs that ARE my uncle singing on the upcoming album and I will support those 100% But I will not support "Breaking News" and a few others because it simply is not him. They tried to fool me and they tried to fool you. I told them it would never happen. | |

I know one thing, they better take "Breaking News" off the album or else. It BETTER not be on the album. | |

Me too, but bringing somebody in to record shit that's supposedly Michael and then considering it to be a "new and rare" thing? This is messed up... Check me out and add me on:

I wonder if Sony would do something similar after the bullshit we heard. The Jackson family need to get on Sony's ass now. | |

2000 Watts IS Michael. Teddy Riley is mixed in the left speaker while Michael is mixed in the right speaker.possibly a little pitchshifting was used as well. overall, it's Michael singing in a lower register.
matter of fact, imma go play it now. it's one of my favorite tracks from "Invincible"
Two-Thousand-Watts......WHAT? | |

Hold my hand is a slow track, not MJ singing in a up tempo voice which is totally different. The slower the song the easier it was for older MJ to sing.
There is no evidence of older MJ on faster tracks singing at a faster pace.
Bottom line is if its MJ or not dude has not had a great up tempo track in years and was better off just relating to the KGLH audience in LA California. 102.3
Fans expect Triumph MJ who could sing fast and clear. Dudes voice is clear on slow tracks but when he has to to speed up its a struggle.

@Timmy
They're probably fishing for another lawsuit to get that $$$
The songs sounds like MJ.
The back-up vocals are a little computer generated and layered since it was demo. | |

the song is so fucking stupid too, it's like an imitation new jack swing/bobby brown/justin timberlake song with the man's name being repeated in an inescable way undoubtedly to draw maximum attention, the whole goddamn thing is a mess, they should be skewered by the record buying public and fans for even trying to do some shit like this. | |

Not wanting to get into issues but there may be a case of fans overreacting and wanting to hear a "Thriller" Michael.
From what I have listened to (and I've listened to it over and over for the past hour) this is my opinion (and I know we all have them)
Majority of the lead vocals are MJ but some are augmented. Backing vocals on key words like JACKSON are not MJ. The chorus is a mix of MJ vocals and backing vocalists. Bridge is mostly MJ with backing vocalists.
As far as having a song that says your own name... My Name is Prince Me against the Music (calls out Britney) Jason Darullo Usher most Darkchild productions have a call out.
That's my 2 cents worth based on the mp3 I ripped from the site. "I'm not human I'm a dove, I'm ur conscience. I am love" | |

MJ's family hates when the media disses him but they are the ones who make him look like a drug addict. Pops making comments last year as if there is no possible way he could get up on that stage and perform like that. Thats basically saying my son can't do that now days. Thats a insult.
If MJ were still alive and he had a bomb ass concer how much you want to bet Latoya and Joe would say that wasn't him. SAD | |

Eh why are some of you doubting this is MJ in the first place?
and no this "Breaking News" song sounds nothing like Jason. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
It's poorly produced too to me. I think why I'm doubting it to be him besides from the voice not being recognizable (those who heard him sing on "This Is It" compare it to this, it sounds like two different folks to me | |

The vocals on "Breaking News" in no way shape or form sound like a natural Michael Jackson voice from say, 1997-2009. The hooks are bogus...the whole song is bogus. Maybe it's a demo, but they had to do something to those vocals and create that rhythm from scratch because it doesn't sound anything like MJ. Sorry...*shrugs*

So you think that the songs that are going to be on the new album are not really Michael? Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach | |

How egostistical was Mike? That's debatable, but what isn't debatable is that he never sang his own name that many times in one song. Mike didn't go around saying "Michael Jackson this, Michael Jackson that" in his own songs. The opening clip was very MJ-like, and the beat has somewhat of a MJ beat, but once the vocals hit... it was instant "wtf" moment.
I can't believe this is how they'd choose to promote this album. They easily could have released Another Day, an updated version of Hold My Hand featuring more of Mike's vocals, or another track from the vault we haven't hear with clear MJ vocals. Instead, they put a "teaser" up and then release an overproduced track with fake vocals.
Unbelievable. | |

For those interested in the lyrical content of Breaking News - here is what I have pieced together. Feel free to alter to more correct lyrics as time passes. The italicised lyrics are ones that are difficult to hear exactly.
Breaking News
Everybody wanting a piece of Michael Jackson The court is [reporter's] stalking the moves of Michael Jackson Just when you thought he was done, He wants to give it again. They could print it around the world today He wanna write my obituary.
No matter what you just wanna read it again. No matter what you just wanna feed it again.
Why is it strange that I would fall in love? Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of? How am I crazy cause I just don’t know. This is breaking news. This is breaking news.
Everybody watching the news on Michael Jackson They wanna see that he fall cause it’s Michael Jackson You write the words to destroy like it’s a weapon You turned your back on a love and you can’t get it again.
No matter what you just wanna read it again. No matter what you just wanna feed it again.
Why is it strange that I would fall in love? Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of? How am I crazy cause I just don’t know. This is breaking news. This is breaking news.
Why is it strange that I would fall in love? Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of? How am I crazy cause I just don’t know. This is breaking news. This is breaking news.
On the news today, they say “crazy celebrity” {unclear}
Why is it strange that I would fall in love? Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of? How am I crazy cause I just don’t know. This is breaking news. This is breaking news.
