Yeah I admit.... the mix is quite poorly done.... Even if I recognize Michael in the main vocals.....
Firstly the 'Jackson' word is doubled, and that voice doubling it is
horror. I've listened attentively and felt gonna puke when I heard it. ( this doubling voice is easy to take out )
The rest is normal, ordinary track, but pleasant, enjoyable. However the stranger voice from background is inundating main vocals.
For ex. why not put instead, an evil female reporter voice there.... to create difference between main vocals and background. To not get Mike vocals inundated by impersonator. It would have been edgier, nastier and like a nasty dialogue with the press....
a metaphor for the press, giving answers back.
They seem to lack ideas, badly..... But this was always my impression regarding Sony. They feared Mike originality and wanted him just stay trendy in safe mode. Well Breaking News is just them wanting to play safe, with this trendy thing,
Teddy Riley boasted he remixed the song in - 5 hours!! Common he knows Mike would have hated that rush!Lazy.....
So my point is that they should have done a better job if they wanted BN released. Clear Mike vocals, clear different voice in background ( to not muddy Mike vocals ), a smarter mix, more carefully done, and not in 5 hours. lol
