Alright, Michael Jackson fans—we need you to step up and verify whether or not this is actually the real King Of Pop’s voice on “new” (read: unreleased track that originally went into production three years ago) MJ tune “Breaking News.” Because our ears, which grew up with Michael’s music constantly playing somewhere or other in the background, are having major doubts. Listen below.
Sony unveiled “Breaking News” today as the first preview off forthcoming posthumous Jackson album Michael (due out December 14). And indeed, there is plenty of skepticism revolving around the fact that is supposed to be The Gloved One’s actual voice (imagine that?) on the track.
Hear for yourself:
Michael Jackson - Breaking News
UK paper the Guardian is reporting that Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, is claiming that several songs on the upcoming Michael LP are fake. Katherine and other Jackson family members are set to be interviewed today on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Says the Guardian:
“The songs in question were apparently recorded in 2007, while Michael was living in New Jersey with his friends the Cascio family. ‘[Katherine] says the Cascios have added some things and given the Sony corporation false tracks,’ reporter Diane Dimond said. Jackson’s father, Joseph, and his children, Paris and Prince, also claim it is not always Michael’s singing voice.”
Either way, “Breaking News” is kind of a breaking snooze, and you can hear why this song remained unreleased all this time, even with the additional glossy production cleanup that likely went on following Jackson’s death. Besides, that is the weakest “Eeee-heee-heeee!” we’ve ever heard.
Guess we’ll wait and see if Oprah gets the scoop as to which songs are allegedly not the real deal. And until then, we’ll have Michael’s Dangerous single “Who Is It” playing on repeat .
doesn’t sound real to me, even if it was, it’s not a hot track… It’s not Michael Jackson
Definitely not MJ.they hired jason malachi to sing lead vocals and sampled the aahhs fom earth song.Iwe fans are pissed off.
noooooooooo

noooooooooo
not mj at all
i’m pissed right now!!!
NOT MJ
Seriously!? He had so many unreleased tracks and they put out a fake one?? WTF is going on at that estate.
SO OBVIOUSLY A FAKE!
Wow
Stunned!
This is NOT Michael Jackson. I have listened to his music for over EIGHTEEN YEARS and know his voice!! This song completely lacks the passion and creativity of the genius Michael!! If the album contains songs like this, I will not buy it!!!
Sony will not fool MJ fans!
FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!!!!!!!
How stupid do they think we are??????
Please release REAL Michael Jackson songs!!!!!!
They said the same thing about Kurt Cobain’s voice on You Know You’re Right. That being said, sure doesn’t sound like Mike. If it is, autotune mess up a voice that bad?
Sounds like an old Justin Timberlake song.
The song is awsome! Like his best hits. Of course it is his voice, don’t you remember 2000 Watts from the Invincible album?, the same tone……I’m a Michael fan since 1979 and I can tell you it’s genuine…do not boycott this wonderful album
It is CERTAINLY Michael Jackson…trust me – I know his voice ! Cnat wait for the new album and the new DVD box set called VISION of all his extended videos – see link for that http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Jacksons-Vision-Jackson/dp/B004498KPU/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1289506767&sr=1-3
Ive been listening to MJ my entire life and am a vocalist myself. I can tell you that it really is Mike’s voice.
Being a fan of Michael Jackson since I am 8 and now being 22, I definitely don’t recognize his voice…
His voice is smooth but it can also be very strong and I don’t find any strenght in that song. Why did they need to put so many other voices on his voice which is just beautiful?? Did they want to hide something?? We even have some difficulties to hear him singing…
Another point is that we also know that he was very angry against the media and I don’t notice any anger in that song…
Michael was not only singing but living his songs…And here it is not the case!
(Sorry for my English but I am French…)
well i like it either way
THIS IS NONESENSE.. THE KING IS TURNING IN HIS GRAVE.. COME ON SONY HAVEN’T YOU ROBBED HIM AND HIS FAMILY ENOUGH? I GUESS THERE IS NO REST FOR THE WEARY.

Who posted this crap?!!!
“Monster”, “Breaking News” etc. DO NOT have MJ’s vocals. It can see a tremendous difference between these tracks and “Hollywood Tonight” or “Behind the mask”. Please fans, WAKE UP! That is not Michael and you know it.
this is not mj
way worse………
y do people post bad stuff on these websites???
