I think it is Michaels voice, as I said in previous post he has enormous wide voice range that sounds different from every album. Heaven Can Wait voice sounds different from Why You Wanna Trip On Me which in its case sounds different from I Can´t Help It. Now if the Jackson family are dissatisfied with the song and what Sony has done they can not blame on anyone but themselves.

They were aware of Michaels relationship with Sony, how it deteriorated over the past 10 years when it came to the promotion of the Invincible album, the refuse of releasing What More Can I Give single and finance the possible Invincible World Tour. Not to mention about the Sony/ATV Catalog that cause all the trouble between them 10 years ago.

Yet they were the same persons that wrote the contract with Sony, that would allow them to release upcoming albums of Michaels material for the next 7-8 years, back in January/February this year. Why wouldn´t they sign a contract with a new label instead like Universal, Def Jam or whatever? As long it wasn´t Sony. But they did and this is the result they got.

Gaz Smooth Elenora Damien MKgenie and all the other insiders- help us out here - what are your sources sayin- surely they must know something -

I don't think that will help because all of the insiders work for Sony (??) and Sony have already confirmed that they believe it is 100% Michael :(
 
Re: Do You Believe Breaking News is an authentic MJ track

No, I don't believe this is a Michael Jackson song. I do believe he may have very loosely come up with the lyrics and idea, and sang minimal amounts but most of it absolutely does not sound like Michael. I'm just angry, upset, I feel like we're being laughed at. This may sound dramatic, but yeah...I just heard it for the first time so I haven't had time to get used to this situation yet.

I just don't know anymore. How much more are we fans supposed to take?

Maybe John McClain was right.. This Cascio songs are fake! I would really like to hear Love Never Felt So Good now..
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

I understand. But this is not a board for the "most". This is a board for the "all". So, by saying something like this, it takes a crap shot at those who would like to think differently. It is ok what "most" think. But it is also ok for those who are in the minority to think as they choose to without being made to feel less of a fan or person. Because, at this point, all we have is what we feel as individuals until more information is released.

I agree. I agree with the majority too but as ginvid said this is a board for all not most. We need to respect everyone's opinions, not calling people deluded.

Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

...just go on YT and type 'breaking news - acapella'...there's only one that we've been listening to...and to tell you the truth..it doesn't convince me it's actually Michael :(
The beginning is what imo sounds the least like Michael..
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

....this is STILL surreal for me...I can't believe this is actually happening...To be so excited for this album, and then this happening...is so crushing..so so crushing...We need answers...and FAST...:no:
 
Re: Do You Believe Breaking News is an authentic MJ track

Thing is i think the people who think it is him are either talking themseleves into it by going against their instincts (it took me the first line of the first listen to realise, wheras from the first word of do you know where you children are i knew it was him). Or they have never heard jason malachi before. For me to even consider this to be him, it should sound much closer to him than to jason malachi, instead it sounds much nearer to jason malachi than to Michael Jackson. Just listen to the way he says his name at the begining, there is no way that is him.

I think you are right. All of us who have heard Jason Malachi think this sounds more like him than Michael. If you have never heard Malachi, then you think it sounds like Michael.

we have to wait for a comment from $ony or at least for the album in about one month.

No one can be certain except the people who heard the bare tracks before any editing.

Technology can do anything I'm afraid including altering Michael's voice to the point it not obviously his.

It doesn't sound like him but I'm aware that as technology has helped some people's voice in the studio it can harm others.

I vote- give us the unedited tracks and we'll know if it's him. I can tell this one has been compressed a bit but I'm not certain to what degree or why.

Maybe if it is him and they thought it would be cool to alter his voice because the lyrics start off talking about him in a third party so perhaps it was a creative concept... He's pretended to impersonate himself before right? Maybe he wanted it to sound like an impersonator impersonating him???

All I know is I don't trust Sony and I'm waiting to see what the family has to say.

Re: Ted Riley confirmed in a tweet he worked on the song "Breaking News"

and this is what Taryll tweeted:



and the drama continues :doh:

Taryll should know and I believe he is telling the truth here. I mean if you have been listening to MJ for the last 20 years like I have you can instantly recognise that he is not singing on 'Breaking News'
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

I've raised pitch of the ad-libs for 3%: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10507085/BN.mp3
to me it sounds even more like Mike now


Doesn't really mean anything really though. In some other songs this Jason sounds much more similar to Michael than on BN, by raising pitch, naturally its gonna sound more alike.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

okay people I have to quote myself to take back all I said.
I recommend to all of you to listen to the song via headphones. I have just got the chance to do so and I must say it is Michael. He worked on his voice and he takes another direction. To me it is clear that it is MJ when it comes to how he finishes singing every single line. his voice is vibrating and it is just him.

I don't wanna do Michael any wrong.

Please guys, give it another try!!!

It is MJ.:yes:

No no let's try that. Because the part where he sings "breaking. the . news" has gotten way better now
 
Re: Do You Believe Breaking News is an authentic MJ track

NO that is not Michael. I have been listening to MJ for many years and I can tell its not him.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

The way I see it is, Sony aren't stupid and wouldn't publish a 100% fake MJ song. I think it's about 20% MJ vocals and the rest padded out by others.

It's not 100% truthful or honest but probably within the law. They have admitted the work was finished by others, they didn't stipulate how much.

I, like most of you, are disappointed but I say this, for those making out like it's the end of the world; there are people giving up their lives in Afghanistan and elsewhere, or coming back with horrific injuries; there are still in 2010 children dying from starvation & malaria; there are large parts of the world coping with recent natural disasters that have killed hundreds of thousands. This is an unfinished & average Michael Jackson track passed off by an record company trying to make some cash.

I know the legacy of Michael Jackson is important, but the man made Thriller, Bad, Off The Wall, Dangerous et al, he won't be damaged by this track.

A little perspective.
