This one is great, Heartbreaking News.
i believe this thread should be closed and it should be deleted as it holds no place here

I think this thread is just as important as the others. People need a place to go here where they can feel free to talk without being hammered by those who think it is definitely him and those who think it is definitely not.
It's ok to have doubts about this song and to seek people who feel similar.
Sorry if already posted, but Dominic Cascio admitted lead vocals on 'Breaking News' are performed by James Porte. It might be the same for the other Cascio tracks on the forthcoming album. Please MJ fans sign this petition :

I hear very little authentic, true Michael Jackson in this song. The only place where I hear 100% MJ is the "breaking the news" part at the end. I am so puzzled. I have heard quite a few MJ demos and have never doubted it was him I was listening too. Even in the demo for "If you don't love me" (my favorite so far) his voice is a little more raw but it still sounds like MJ. I just don't get this. And I'm confused as to why all the so-called experts and forensic software that was used verified that this was MJ. Am I crazy?
That being said, I think that I will keep my pre-order for the CD. Even though I am highly conflicted. Part of me wants to give my 2 cents to Sony and another part says just let it be and enjoy the other songs.

What i'll never understand is how The Estate had 100's of songs to choose from and they choose Breaking News as the albums launch track.
Well let me ask a perfectly logic question. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
If they could only release an old unreleased 80's song from the vault then they should have released that. Better to release an 80's song which we know is 100% Michael instead of releasing a modern song which is clearly not 100% Michael
Surely those songs are not enough marketable
They may be great songs but you have to listen carefully and several times to realy appreciate all the subtility like the Dangerous album or History
They want something catchy immediately for young people to appreciate and buy immediately cheap productions a la Rihanna
This Breaking News is the perfect example
All for Money
Just to tell you my opinion..
Since I've heard this song for the first time I realised the singer wasn't Mike. At least in many parts. I didn't know anything about the voices telling the singer in the song was not him (before it came out, of course); so I listened to it without many thoughts in my mind (though I was sceptic too before LOL). And I didn't hear Michael in the strophes; but the chorus was OK..
Anyway, the point is: Many of us realised it (and we've always listened to his songs); Sony admitted that they had a tough work to "fix" the songs. And admitted they also let sing another guy (James Porte). So, whether it's Michael or not in the song, they told us they did a filth. That's why I don't understand how many people still want to buy this album! WHERE is Michael in this song? His sound, his rhythm, his style.. his voice.
I cannot hear him. And you?
Just another thing: I wouldn't have bought the album anyway. I'm sure all the upcoming material regarding MJ is just done for money. But in this case.. We better tell everybody about this garbage.
And for those of us claiming we'll ruin Mike's legacy I say: Where's your brain? We are ruinin' his legacy!? And what is Sony doin'? Celebrating it?!
I'll never wrap my head around how so many people will insist that the vocals are 100% MJ's. Did they just believe the statement that The Estate put out? Or are they so desperate for a new MJ album that they'll take anything that's given to them?
Let's be logical. Why use tracks that aren't MJ? We know there are tons out there that are, so why would they use fake ones? It's silly.
The a capella sounds like Michael. Let it go, already.
He's probably either laughing at his so-called fans who think its not him or sad that his so-called fans have nothing better to do than think they are smarter than the people who actually worked for him.
Like Teddy Riley is going to lie. Please!
I've posted this in other spots and I'll say it again: This is supposed to be a joyous time. Stop creating negativity.

To Sony, the Michael Jackson Estate and the Jackson family
I sit here with a broken heart. My hero, Michael Jackson, spent half of his short life being ridiculed and abused by the media; he went through 2 trials for crimes he didn’t commit and finally he died at the hands of another. Is it not enough that the fans have gone through all of this with our hero, been emotionally drained time & time again and grieved for someone we could never say goodbye too? Now, when we finally get some good news about some new, never before heard music, it is shrouded in controversy. Fans are already cancelling their pre-orders and vowing not to buy the album. They are confused, angry and sad.
The track Breaking News (and other Cascio tracks) are clearly causing division between the family, the Estate, Sony and the fans – did Michael sing these songs or didn’t he? The answer, quite frankly, is irrelevant. The tracks should be omitted from this album regardless of whether or not they are authentic so the drama can cease. I am begging you to stop this from going any further. Michael reportedly left 100’s of songs for you to pick from… choose 3 others. It’s quite simple. Check the fan forums to see what they want. They’re the people that will (or won’t) be buying the music. Please, please, think about what you’re doing and reconsider.
The fans do not deserve this after all they’ve been through.
