Just thought I'd copy/paste my post from 5mins ago in Sean's thread here...As I have realized it's more appropriate to be posted here.
I have refrained from posting anything about this mess since it all started, mainly out of frustration towards so many members here who's posts and opinions I have enjoyed reading these past two and a half years...More on this later.
To me, it's quite clear that certain members of the Jackson camp have an agenda here, releasing statements about some tracks being false etc...They have done this knowing full well that many "hardcore" MJ fans would instantly buy into it and become skeptical, which is exactly what has happened! Who knows, maybe the Cascio's rejected some 3T material 15 years ago? Of course, that's random pure speculation that I've used and it's most likely totally incorrect lol but the point I'm trying to make is that there could be inumeral reasons as to why some of the Jackson's have said what they did. Citing LaToya as a credible source is mind blowing in it's inanity! Are many of you forgetting 1993?
Sure, Mike's vocals sound a little different in 'Breaking News'...and that's the point! I firmly believe Michael was attempting to add more dimensions to his vocals. There is no law stating that Michael Jackson has to sing every song the same way! I find his vocals sung in a lower register to be really refreshing...As I'm sure Michael himself did too.
As Sean stated, anyone with doubts as to the authenticity of Mike's vocals, go and buy yourself some good stereo headphones and give it a listen...Yes, the vocal track is a little rough due to the demo nature of them, however, there is no doubt in my mind that 'Breaking News' features 100% Michael Jackson lead vocals. Period.
Since so many fans here have used their Parents (lol) in there examples to "prove" that Mike isn't singing in BN, I thought I'd play the track a couple times to my own Mother! She's one month younger than Mike and been a fan since the absolute beginning, She is the main reason why I became an MJ fan as a young child in 1989.
I played her the song, after explaining all about the "controversy" without giving her my own opinions and thoughts about it. You know what? after hearing BN, she says it's Michael through and through.
To wrap up this post, as I alluded to earlier, I would just like to add that so many fans here have disappointed me exponentially with their behaviour these past couple of days. Threatening to boycott the album etc is absolutely retarded. These same fans are making these drastic decisions based on hearsay and a sheep mentality.
By that, I mean following a crowd, peer pressure. For those fans in doubt, at least wait for this matter to be looked into properly before slandering MJ's good name and reputation with this horseshit. Many of you should feel very ashamed at the way younger members here have been influenced by many of you and your uneducated, speculatory opinions.
Finally, in my opinion, 'Breaking News' is a killer track, although somewhat unfinished...It has the potential to crack the mainstream in a way that Mike hasn't since You Are Not Alone!
