Two previously unreleased tracks by Michael Jackson popped up on Oh No They Didn’t today, a slow, 70s-sounding ballad “All I Need”, and an uptempo, sexy, rockin’ tune called “Blue Gangsta”. Unlike the previous songs that Sony and Jackson’s estate desperately want you to believe feature the King of Pop’s voice, these two numbers (not included on the forthcoming compilation album Michael) sound like pure MJ from the very first note he sings. Listen to both songs below.
Note: We had to remove “Blue Gangsta” by request of the label.
“What you’ve done to me, baby, I can no longer smile / And I waited to long just to carry on / I’m the blue gangsta,” sings Jackson, ripping through the verse with his beloved, powerful growl on this slinky R&B track.
Note: Sorry, folks — “All I Need” has been taken down, too.
“Come together all the people, we can do it now / Use your chance to make it right, go take a chance,” Michael sings on the uplifting ballad, backed by the whispering vocals of a childrens choir on the chorus.
Of course, we live in an age today where voices can be manipulated, so until these songs are confirmed from Jackson’s estate, take it all with a grain of salt. That said, we’re buying that these are from the King of Pop, though we’re unclear from what studio sessions either song was recorded during.
What do you think of these two tracks? Do you like them more than “Breaking News“, “Hold My Hand” and the other tunes we’ve heard so far that will be released on Michael?
[ONTD]
Definitely Michael singing, and I like them much more then the other 2 mentioned above. This is more his style for sure. I hope they release them soon
I like all of them but “All I Need” and the new “One More Chance” video are the best so far IMHO. Sure wish we could get him back, I miss him :(
looove gangsta!!!!!!!! finally THis is the king!!!!!!!!!
LOVE these tracks! I feel strange that all the vaults are being opened up now — I wish we could have experienced this wonderful influx of MJ music while he was still alive…
Wow this is really our love Michael ..I love both ..I love all of our songs Michael ..
Wow thank you Michael for your great songs ..
I love you Michael and always will do ..
All I need: Does NOT sound like Michael…it’s Jason Malachi for sure!!!
Blue gangsta IS Michael Jackson.
I have the most useful detector of Michael Jackson authencity- my skin. No goosebumps in All I Need. Trust me I know.
I agree with you! There are three songs I have heard now that are NOT Michael! Although, in two of them I do hear Michael in there. Blue Gangster, Hold my hand, Another day and much too soon ARE MJ!!!! HEEEE I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!! Man BG could be a radio hit!!! I do like all of these songs even if they are not all MJ. $ony needs to be honest with the fans. We have ears and have over 40 yrs of being connected to MJ through his voice. Don’t play, $ony.. If you’re gonna throw a song out there with the Michael name attached to it, just make sure it’s Michael JACKSON!
I like the songs, but I can’t believe what they did to the production, it soundnt much sharper and hotter in the demo that leaked online search it on youtube its called “gansta feat pras”
Another two brilliant tracks from the king of pop. Few artists manage to have a posthumous career. He is an amazing artist. Unlike the song title, michael has proven that this really isn’t it http://davidhatton1987.blogspot.com/2010/06/is-this-it.html
All i need is NOT Michael Jackson singing, it’s weird how thousands of his long-time fans instantly recognizes which vocals are him and which isn’t, but music journalists can’t. I can understand that alot of his younger fans and people that don’t know his style and nusic get confused, but professionals should really notice how different these vocals are to the real Michael Jackson’s voice and styles. It smell’s conspiracy all the way! The interesting question is not which vocals are MJ and which isn’t (it’s obvious), it’s who is paid by whom to say what!
I have listened to all MJ’s music, all the time, for 28 years. I truly believe that “All I Need” is Michael Jackson’s voice. He had an incredible ability to shape his voice for however it was needed for the song’s mood, and this is no exception. This is a very sweet, breathy, but authentic version of his voice (I’m guessing it’s from the Invincible recordings), and to pollster I disagree — it definitely gives me goosebumps!
Gagsta son is definitely Michael, as for the other one, yes I agree he sounds different but when you listen to it through the headphones just those small voice details I think you will find that it is Michael. I think it was recorded when he did not feel his best though. He does not sound his usual enthusiastic self but the tones of some words are definitely MIchael Jackson. I have listened to Michael through headphones for most of my life and my humble opinion is that All I need is Michael.
The dirst one is a “No friend of mine” and is quite old ;) the second one….hmmm..it’s hard to say. We haven’t heard MJ’s voice since 2001 ( a little bit in This Is It) so we cannot be sure
jadore en plus c’est vraiment la voix de mj c’est mieu que les 3 premier extrai du nouvel album de mj
i agree all i need is NOT MJ
All I need – thank you for this gift MJ! So beautiful, so peaceful, so moving. This is the side of MJ that many people never heard. Its along the lines of Speechless, Carousel, ,Cry, Much Too Soon and You Were There (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfxCe2mfAEk)
THILLER IS WAY BETTER!!
MJ forever ..:)
Love Blue Gangsta and Hold My Hand – so awesome … listen to these other great MJ songs (some from the Ultimate Collection released in 2004 – please SONY re-release some of these terriffic songs and some of these unreleased songs–they are dynamite): A Place With No Name, Shout, For All Time, Beautiful Girl, The Way You Love Me, Got The Hots, Someone Put Your Hand Out, Streetwalker, Carousel, Fly Away…and so many many others. LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP….
All I Need is not him.
Blue Gangster is from the Invincible recording sessions, around 1999-2001.

i love blue gangsta i have it on c.d. from somewhere in china got it off ebay… would be awesome if it were released for real!
Buuuaah, como se nota que la de All I need es Jason Malachi. A mi no me engaña nadiee ! Gangsta Blue es puro amor ! como me gustaa ! Ah.. y habeis escuchado la de Another day completa? meeeee encaanta ! jajaaj solo digo Quee Jason Malachi canta bien , si. PERO QUE NO TIMEN ! lo que hace la gente por dinero.. MICHAEL TE AMO !
In order to guard against confusion, here’s a list of other tracks by JASON MALACHI, the guy that sings “Mamacita” (also typed “Mamasita”)
Bigger Man
Don’t Walk Away (not to be confused with the real eponymous MJ track on INVINCIBLE (2001))
Hydraulix
If You Wanna Get With Me
I’ve Got What You Want
Let Me Let Go
Tell It Like It Is
You Don’t Have To Do
Note: All these songs feature low-budget computerized instruments and sound effects. Jason’s voice sounds a (VERY VERY) little bit as MJ’s voice did in the early ’80s (just listen to the album Thriller once again).
But MJ’s current voice sounds A LOT different (just listen to MJ’s recent work 1999-2004).
Also note that Santana has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with “Mamacita”.
(Santana’s guitar playing sounds completely different and is on a high and professional level – nothing that can be heard here.
And what is most important is that in “Mamacita” there’s not even a real guitar featured!)
Actually not to be confused with MJ if you have good ears.
By the way, some die-hard fans who cannot believe THAT THIS 100% NOT(!!!) MJ, started and continue telling fan-fiction stories about “Jason Malachi” being just a nickname for MJ (or that Malachi would mean “Michael”) and that it would be MJ in disguise.
BUT THIS IS BOTH RIDICULOUS AND COMPLETELY UNTRUE!!!
Don’t waste your time in believing this.
If you like Jason’s songs, then nobody has a problem with it!
But it’s NOT(!!!) MJ as some fans want to believe by themselves.
Some of Jason’s tracks are also featured in a 14-track FAKE-compilation which is simply called “Pre” and consists of OLD / UNRELEASED OR LESS KNOWN MJ material (1992 – early 2002), songs by 3T (1995, most prominently “Why” which was a #2 hit in the UK in early 1996!) and EVEN SONGS THAT ARE NOT(!!!) SUNG BY MJ – but instead by Jason Malachi or Ayhnik aka Nicolas Piedra (“Get Out Of My Mind” – a song that has always been free and legal
gangsta is 2006 – production
Ok, since we are all on this website, listening to Michael Jackson songs, then we obviously are fans.
We OBVIOUSLY know what Michael Jackson sounds like, right?
Sony thinks we are idiots.
Yes, Blue Gangsta is 100% Michael. Hopefully everyone realized that. It has the passion and creativity every Michael Jackson song contains. Michael is a musical genius. All of his songs portray that of a genius.
But…
the second song…. who are they trying to fool??
Songs like Breaking News, Monster, and KYHU….they all have this LAZY, amateur, distant voice, that IS NOT MICHAEL.
I am so sick of this!!! Really, really, really, really sick of someone singing songs and pretending they are MICHAEL JACKSON!!
FIND A NEW HOBBY, Jason Malachi!!! OR TAKE SINGING LESSONS FOR YOUR OWN SAKE.
Thats all.
God bless.
I love you, Michael. And I hope one day you can finally rest in peace.
All I Need is not Michael singing.
Word up. 100% behind you mate.
All I Need is “NOT” MJ: It’s Jason Malachi. http://www.myspace.com/jasonmalachi
Blue Gangsta (2006) is MJ.
I love “Blue Gangsta”! Listen to the lyrics. I believe this could be about Lisa Marie. “You said you’d be my wife- just a bunch of lies. You ain’t no friend of mine. Look what you’ve put me through. It all fits!
All I Need and Blue Gangsta are both Michael’s voice. I’ve been listening to him for 25 years. Remember MJ could change his voice to suit whatever he was singing. Why these werent on the album is beyond me, they’re both great! Certainly would have given a little more meat to the album
I love the verse in that song too.
He expressed building rage. He started off whispering and went into a shout by the time he was at the end of the verse. Go Mike!.
Absolutely LOVE this song…could listen to it over and over again.. love the horn arrangement…the passion, anger and desperation in Mj’s voice….the painful moaning at the end. It has a vintage..bluesy sound that you NEVER EVER here now-a-days…absolutely classic MJ. I just wish this was released on the new album ‘Michael’.
I really do believe this song could be written about Lisa Marie and maybe that is why it was never released as MJ thought better of it after recording it.
All I Need is not MJ. There are alot of MJ impersonators, but the real Michael has a very distinct voice that even the best impersonator and replicate…. I never heard this original mix of blue gangsta.. I’ve heard the remix with Pras a few years back.. I really like this version
I have Blue Gangsta on MP3. Not the watered down Pras version. This one! I love it.
Magnifique Blue Gangsta du tout grand MJ.Elle vaut a elle seul,les 10 chansons de l’album Michael.
I have my doubts about “All I Need” also. It does sound like MJ. But, different somehow. But, I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt because MJ’s voice did have a lot of range. Remember “2000 Watts”? I swear, I did not believe it was him, until the song got past the first verse, because he sounded so different. Now, I am positive “Blue Gangsta” is him. No doubt. I heard it first a few days ago and thought that it was a great song. But, not enough MJ. It was just dominated by rap, with MJ at the end. I finally heard the original version tonight (no Pras) and now I can’t get it out of my head. It’s just, well, perfect. Now, just like “Best Of Joy”, I can’t get this song out of my head.
yeah ALL I NEED IS NOT MIKE!!!
All I need, this is the Michael Jackson I know, it is so beautiful , and Blue Gangsta, is so smokey and sexy, way better than Breaking News, big difference. I hope that these come out soon. Michael sounds as amazing as ever. All I can say is wow!
I was given the new CD for Christmas as a gift, I like Hold My Hand and Another Day, but these are even better than those. I want to hear more.
My humble opinion…….these are both MJ…… as some of you have pointed out, MJ had the remarkable talent of changing up his vocals to fit the song, or “mood”. Just listen to “2000 Watts” if you don’t believe me! Took me a while to recognize that MJ was the one singing in that song—- he’s brilliant……. and for those of you “non-believers”… listen closely to All I Need…. it’s MJ !! :O)
It’s true Michael had a amazing range of voice, he could do the lower range. There is no one like him in the industry today.
I really believe All I Need is Michael. I can define between him and the other guy. Michael has more drive and vibrato to his voice. So I know its him. Plus if the other guy had done this cover, he’d be getting the pants sued off him for using a bit of you are not alone at the beginning or at least trying to correct ppl that its him. Why would you do all the work to make a song like this, then let Michael Jackson be recognized for it instead of you. C’mon guys, quit putting down Michael’s work because you are too suspicious.
Love both these songs; Gangsta has all MJ’s signature sounds; All I need sounds like MJ but not a finished version. Would love to see them both come out, along with lotsa others. Sure miss MJ’s voice; I play his songs over and over; when will Sony release his tours? All we can get is Dangerous. If S.wants to make money, give us the tours! Wish “Michael” had done better but too much controversy. And I don’t want to see any “videos” from tracks from “Michael”. Without MJ why?
i do not think that all i need sounds like MJ the vibratto is way too thick and not the same light ethereal sound that MJ had
Blue gangsta and All I Need is Michael Jackson. Definitely Michael is singing All
I Need. I am absolutely 100 percent certain that Michael is singing All I Need. If you all will go back to the Video and listen to Michael sitting down singing She’s Out Of My Life , and also when Michael were being sue for someone accursing him of steal the song call The Girl Is Mine. Michael sung the song, The Girl Is Mine, and he told the lawyer how he created and wrote it. Michael did not steal that song. He gave credit to God for giving him that song. Michael alway’s say it come from above as well as all his other song’s. Michael also say let the song create itself. Michael Jackson is a remarkable amazing brilliant genius that the world has ever known. I am a fan of Michael Jackson, but to me I feel he is my family because he been a big, big part of my life every since I was a kid. we are the same age. I miss you Michael Joseph Jackson every single day. I know you are with me in spirit. Michael I watch your Video’s every single day, and it’s not one day I miss looking and listening to your song’s. I love you Michael Jackson with all my heart, soul, and spirit. For the people who mistreated Michael in this world; please, please leave Michael Jackson alone, because he did what God wanted him to do. Now Michael Joseph Jackson is Resting In The Arm’s Of Our Father. Michael You Is Truly An Angel Of God. No one is perfect on this earth. Michael you are a good descent human that definitely deserve to be Respected from all the people of this world . Michael Joseph Jackson you are love with a smile. we have truly lost one of our most precious Angel of this world. May God Bless And Protect Your. Father, Your Three Kid’s, And Hold Family. I love you Michael and you will never die. You are alway’s with us in spirit. Thank you Michael Joseph Jackson for all those special year’s you have given to the hold world.
y
May God Bless and Protect Mrs. K. Jackson. I did not mean to leave you out. I truly love Mrs. Jackson. Thank you for sharing Michael and your hold family. Michael has thisamazing brilliant talent vocal’s that he can make his vocal’s’ in certain song’s of his have this special trumbling voice when sing a song like She’s Out Of My Life, and some of his other song’s. also like The Girl Is Mine. love you Michael Joseph Jackson.
