Michael Jackson Sings About Himself on New Single, “Breaking News”
http://breakingnews.michaeljackson.com/
Here’s the new Michael Jackson single, “Breaking News,” written by Michael Jackson (lyrics only), Eddie Cascio and James Porte (aka Bobby Ewing). Yes, it’s Michael singing about himself. It’s a song they wrote in the Cascio home studio together in August 2007. Eddie’s brother, Frank, was Michael’s long time friend, confidante, and protege. It was his work with Bobby Ewing that brought Michael into the studio.
“Who is that boogeyman you’re thinking of?”– the song is tailored for Michael, and addresses all the gossip that was leveled at him, the accusations, etc.
“Why is it strange that I would fall in love?” Michael sings. Is he referring to Lisa Marie Presley, Debbie Rowe, or someone else? Anyway, the production by Teddy Riley, is terrific, giving Michael a modern sound and horns. And, yes, that’s him singing. There is only one Michael Jackson.

This is 100% NOT Michael Jackson, almost certain it’s Jason Malachi. Really disappointed in you Roger, you have been well and truly duped on this one…. go do some research before making yourself look even more foolish.
Joe Jackson
Yes, of course it’s Michael’s voice. You don’t think I’d recognize the voice of my own kid!!! When he hits those high notes, it’s reminiscent of the times I’d smack him across the ass with my belt. Yep, that’s my Mikey alright.

That 100% is not Michael Jackson. They’ve sampled some of his sounds like the “stop” from Scream but it’s not him. I thought Roger would know better than anyone. it’s 10000% obvious it’s not him. i’ve been a fan since I was 8, it’s not Michael Jackson. I hope the reschedule the album and sort the mess out.
Robo
In a seance I asked Michael if he was happy now. He responded, “Yes. There is no law against pedophilia in the afterlife.”
Jason Malachi
Hi you all,
I hope you like my new single. I really sound like MJ, don’t I ?
Thanks Sony for this opportunity. It’s a dream come true for me.
Love
JM
James
To Ronan – You all have been duped! The man is dead and his music stinks like the addicted crack-head he was.
MBrad
This DOES NOT SOUND like Michael Jackson at all. What an awful song.
Mike
I don’t think it’s his voice either, but can someone tell me why Sony would release a non MJ song when they have actual songs that are MJ? If hold my hand is next to be released, why go through all this bother, when they can release hold my hand instead?
I’m just curious
Janet Jacksom
This is not the voice of Mike. More lies.
Ray Harmon
I have logged at least 20,000 hours listening to Michael’s voice and that is, heartbreakingly, not him. He doesn’t even pronounce his OWN NAME authentically. They dropped in a couple shouts at the beginning and the end, but the scratchy vocal parts aren’t him, the vibrato is too tight, the Indiana accent is decidedly gone. It sounds like an O-Town song. Teddy Riley just tweeted directly to me that he only had the master track, not the a capellas, and that he never produced the vocal track. Only offered to come in FOR FREE and help at the end as a favor to MJ.
LaToya Jackson
Come on boys & girls! That’s my bro! Why you dont belive it! I told that’s Michael!

He communicates through song
Elena
C’mon people! Can’t you see this is an internet campaign with hired people to stalk internet blogs all day to discount that this is Michael Jackson?!
OPEN YOUR EARS! IT’S HIM!
Everyone on here who is discounting it is him is either being paid, is a troll or is not a fan of MJ.
Jennifer
it is truly not Michael and here some things to point out:
Lyrically (“he wanna write my obituary”) the lyric is in “Tabloid Junkie” and “D.S.” Those tunes were on 1995’s HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I
There’s certainly lots of cutting and pasting here: Jackson’s floating trademark “hee hees” are out of sync with the lower, burnished choruses.
These were, after all, the unreleased songs of an perfectionist whom Quincy Jones remembers responding to the initial mixes of 1982′s mega-smash Thriller with tears and threats to shelve the album
And at the height of a narcissism that never defined his best work, the singer keeps saying his own name – “Everybody wanting a piece of Michael Jackson/The artists stalking the moves of Michael Jackson.”
the track Breaking News recalls 1991’s Teddy Riley-produced Dangerous and specific percussive elements and horn lines of “Remember the Time” and “Jam.”

This isn’t the first time he wrote a song about himself. Remember, he wrote a song about himself in 1988, called “Just Leave Me Alone.” Yet, the video, about his life, gave an indication as why the world could not leave him alone.

IT’S JASON MALACHI SINGING, NOT MJ!!! DO SOME RESEARCH PEOPLE!!
Leah T. Garvin in Atlanta,Ga
Michael. I love and miss you.

Michael Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, Jersey Shore, all distractions. As the Mainstream Media creates illusions, the US gov’t (and their corp. friends),start more illegal wars, ban books like “America Deceived II” and bail out banks.

Roger do you have any video proof or early demos of this track that could sway the skeptical fans?
If you’re 100% certain it’s him, then please could you provide us with the proof.

I am a fan, but this isn’t him.

There are some sad people here.
As a long time fan of Michael’s, it’s is his vocals, there are words he sang that if you knew Michael’s voice you would detect, it’s a little lisps in some words and he speaks (spoke) in that manner.
Michael’s vocal coach, Seth Riggs gave a interview once to Rolling Stone magazine and stated that Michael can sing the high C notes that great tenors have as well as sing the lows of a bass singer.
If you listen to the Superbowl performance when he started talking about “No child should ever suffer”, you heard the deep voice of Michael. The deep voice that only close friends spoke about.
Everyone expects Michael to sing and talk in a high tenor voice and that is what people wanted and he gave it to them.
Why on earth would Sony or Teddy or anyone else try to do something as dumb and as wild as some of you all wrote here along with those that have nothing better to do than stir the pot?
I believe it’s all about John McClain and certain faimily memebers who have come out from the dark, because their version didn’t get selected for the CD, and believe it or now we now have two of the 3 T’s writing about it, verifying Roger’s story with their own little twits.
Yes, they are destroying Michael’s legacay more than they realize. They are by no means ensuring Michael’s legacy for his children, it’s all about what they want out of all this. Exactly what do they want?
Teddy gave a interview sometime yesterday about all this and it was the family that asked him to work on the CD, now they want to destroy what he created? What gives with that?
What was the last thing that John McClain produced that makes anyone, especially a Michael Jackson fan say, wow, that’s John McClain’s work, I know it anywhere. Oh, wait… This is it! That’s the song – that a John McClain song. He is no Qincy Jones nor a Teddy Riley, who has worked on the last 4 CD’s of Michael’s.

TwoBirds, its got nothing to do with the depth of the voice, we’ve all heard MJ sing with his low notes b4..it’s all in the tone, the forcefulness and diction of the vocal on breaking news..MJ doesn’t sound like that!
Funkymoondancer
Mr Roger Friedman I have been a Michael Jackson since 1983 and the only part of Breaking News is Michael Jackson is some section of the chorus..
They should have disclosed and label it as : Jason Malachi featuring Michael Jackson-
If SONY did this from the beginning then it would have been a different story.
The lead singer and the background vocals are NOT the same.
I have several “acapella” recordings from Mr. Jackson and the leading singing does NOT match Mr. Jackson vocals.
Sony is gambling with this “unknown singer” and holding true unreleased Michael Jackson Material for ransom..Michael was 1000% right about them in 2001. I should have listen to him..he was so right. Sony has shown there true colors and NOW they have been exposed!!

Guys in my opinion it is def MJ but theres something more important to discuss to get fans pulling in smae direction again.
*This is a serious breach by the media and timing is critcial here*
Something outrageous happened this morning on November 9, 2010 on British Television that needs to be addressed. It is a very clear case of an abuse of Michael’s memory and use of media to do that. Forwarded below is the substance of the issue.
At 10:35 am on November 9, 2010 on ITV This Morning, a breakfast show programme, media commentator and ex-editor of The Sun newspaper — Kelvin MacKenzie — basically accused Michael Jackson of being a child abuser, mocked his parental link to his children, and essentially said Michael’s children and other children were better off now that he is dead.
TRANSCRIPT:
After they showed a clip of Paris saying MJ was a great father and saying they used to go to Art galleries together and play tag in the garden,
Kelvin McKenzie said:
” well it’s nice of her to say that about her dead father but I have a much more significant question about how and why some of those children were born, and under what circumstances and whether in the end he would have turned out to be a great father. Certainly there are aspects of him that your audience would raise their eyebrows at. In fact the death of Michael Jackson may well have saved some children from a lifetime of being mentally corrupted. ”
Philip Schofield (the presenter with Kelvin) then said: ” we don’t know that though. ”
Kelvin Mackenzie: ” No, but at the same time he has faced a number of charges and allegations and I feel the children are better off now he has died. ”
Philip Schofield: ” I am sure they would disagree with you’
* End of transcript*
Mr MacKenzie made his comments in response to the airing of Oprah Winfrey’s programme with Mr Jackson’s parents and his surviving children on November 8, 2010.
ITV this morning is a breakfast show like Good Morning America, there to provide news and magazine style items — not disseminate unproven, seriously accusatory monologues about a dead man to an entire country while they eat their breakfast cereal.
Below are the contact details, both telephone number and email. Obviously it important every single legacy member gets on this. It is also important if they are not resident in the UK, that they do not mention that – or they will not have complainant status.

realy?very realy opinion?
i think not,because i listen michael jackson every day in my house,the vocals in the song,in the new song,are dificult to know,realy!michael was a good time without singing, maybe his voice is more smooth,change.but,sincerity is never enough, it seems the voice of Jason Malachi.i don’t agree the new albun because michael don’t like this musics.
I do not agree with the new album because he did not like these songs, he dismissed them, for me this album is only for sony to make money which is very unfair, Michael would not like this initiative, but the sony does not care! to it does not matter!
this is the worst sin of man: greed!

Hi Roger,
Finally someone with some sense. Of course the vocals are Michael’s. It sounds like Michael, and Sony wouldn’t risk releasing it if there was any doubt.
Cheers,
Jenna

Stupid idiots at Sony working with things they dont understand.
Guess you do anything for money.
