I agree, thank you for posting
you know..it feels to me like they're trying to mock MJ through song..
only he had the courage to write a tabloid junkie..
but now, this breaking news sounds like they're going to parade him in front of the world as a complainer with a first class big ego, who says his name in third person.
there is a difference between responding to persecution the way 'junkie' sounded..and ego tripping, like breaking news is being touted..
he just didn't sound full of himself in 'junkie'. but this song, breaking news, lyrically, is trying to portray MJ as full of himself, and it feels like those behind it, really hope that MJ gets it from the media, like never before(while they make money). and that's saying a lot.
sony never wanted him to chronicle his persecution in life..now suddenly, they 'want him to chronicle it' in death? at least, they could be original with their ideas like he was. and have courage, like he did. imo
and 'junkie' doesn't sound like it was trying to be a hit. 'breaking news' sounds like it's TRYING to be a 'modern' hit. 'junkie' sounds totally original. 'breaking news' does not. i know this has nothing to do with the technicalities of the song, but i just felt the need to talk about this..
