Based on his Twitter, he did sang on MJ's "Michael" album (track(s) not specified).

The Wikipedia entry for the song "Behind The Mask" for the album does list Alfonzo Jones as one of the background vocalists. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...on_song%29.

Having listened to the song, I suspect that he did more than just background vocals, particularly the adlibs and vocal runs starting at the 4:35 mark. Listen to that crazy high falsetto (not in a good way but rather it sounds forced) and that just doesn't sound like Michael.

Is it possible that Alfonzo appeared on other tracks in the album as well?

Let's not forget this from a few years ago: http://www.rollingstone.c...m-20101118

For those unfamiliar with Alfonzo, check out one of his songs below.

I never thought the high notes at the end of BTM were supposed to be Michael. I always assumed hs ad libs transitioned into a female vocalist and thought it could have been put in by someone who finished the track or possibly even Michael himself as he had at least one other time I can remember (HIStory) had his vocals transition into someone else. In HIStory it was a child.

I forget which tracks but definitely when the album came out there was at least one if not a few songs where instantly I was like, "that's not Michael". I just read that Teddy Riley, who originally vouched for the authenticity of the vocals, came out a couple of years later and said he'd been 'set up', whatever the hell that means.

The whole thing is so unneccesary. We know Michael had tons of finished songs left over from each album sessions. THOSE ARE THE TRACKS THE FANS WANT. Not these cut and paste jobs they've put out. Although I must admit I really liked the FEW modern touches to Behind the Mask.

Some tracks I'm really curious to hear are the Teddy Riley tracks from the HIStory sessions that I heard about only a few years ago.

I think it's clearly the same guy who did the adlibs from the 4:35 mark who transition into the high notes. It's really high for a male to hit those notes but some people like Eric Benet or Phil Perry can achieve that easily.

I'm really curious if there's any comprehensive database that lists all MJ's sessions and the unfinished tracks that he has done until his death, some kind of "The Vault" for MJ?

That's Shanice Wilson singing at the end of Mike's song, not a guy.

Heal The World?

Shanice took time out to chat with The Black Star News, as she reflects on how Michael Jackson impacted her life.

Since childhood, it had always been Shanice’s dream to meet Michael Jackson in person, she told BSN. “Having the honor of being on his newest release is an amazing and sentimental experience for me.”

John McClain, the current executor of Michael Jackson’s estate, is also the man who discovered Shanice at age 11. Ultimately, McClain signed Shanice to her first record deal. Shanice vividly recalls during negotiations with A&M Records, the tween siren practically made meeting Jackson a term in the contract.

At age 14, Shanice’s dream became reality. She had just gotten home from school when she got a call from someone at A&M Records saying, “Somebody would like to meet you today.” Shortly after, a limo arrived outside her home, scooped her up and delivered her to the set of Michael Jackson’s “Moonwalker” video. “It was incredible,” reminisced the star. “We sat in the trailer for about an hour. We talked about Bubbles, ( Jackson’s pet chimpanzee) and how Bubbles was doing commercials. We talked about how we shared the same vocal coach (Seth Riggs). Michael was so down to earth. I have been in the entertainment industry for a long time and have met a lot of people and I can honestly say that Michael Jackson is the biggest star that I have ever met, but he was also the most down to earth of all.”

While the album was still in the production stage, John McClain reached out to Shanice via John Nettlesby to be a part of the project. Naturally, she was thrilled. The call took her back to her early childhood, an 8-year-old child in a state of uncertainty riding a Greyhound bus, moving from Pittsburgh to California. She had no idea the future would hold such good fortune. “People kept telling me I was going to Hollywood where all the stars were! I was so excited because I thought there would be stars everywhere, just walking down the street. As soon as I stepped off of the bus I asked, ‘Where is Michael Jackson?’ But to my disappointment I found out that the stars on the streets of Hollywood that people were referring to was the Walk of Fame,” she giggled.

Working on “Behind the Mask” was poignant. Many of the songs on the new album were in their rough stages and had to be completed after the King’s untimely passing. Shanice had difficulty holding back tears in attempts to sing the song. “As soon as the music came on and I heard Michael’s voice, I would start to cry.” But the seasoned professional got it done with the support of others around her. John Nettlesby, for instance, who contributed to production of the vocals, eased the pain by chatting and sharing fun stories about Michael throughout the recording session.
