Mmm.... My 2 cents?
1) Anka is someone in the music industry, no matter if we are aware of that now in the 2010. He wrote great music.
2) That doesn't mean the whole world has to like his music, not to mention like the guy (I don't like
him -_-).
3) He
DID work
WITH Michael. That means, they worked
TOGETHER, and so Michael has as much right to the song as the man. We are all aware of that too.
4) The man
DID call Michael a Thief. Right from his mouth.
We saw the video, so there is no question on that.
5) As for $ony making an mistake... sorry, but it is their work to find out about the things they are about to release.
I don't believe for a second $ony didn't know it was an old song. I mean... fans knew. How could they not know this? No way. And their explanation of they just "finding out the song in a box labeled "This is it" was just as stupid as going to TMZ to call MJ a thief.
Let's remember the real name of the song: "I've never heard", previously released by Safire in the early 90's and please!! The song was registered for copyrights
as late as 1983 going back to 1978!! So please don't say they did an innocent mistake, for the song couldn't just be "found" in a box. Besides that, Sony said it was one of MJ last works for This is it tour, and that it would be such a terrific song just to remember the world the real gift Michael was to the world.
And see what happened...
If I can do the search being just noone... how can it be that powerful $ony couldn't do it? And why were they so worried about avoiding any leakage? For the knew the minute that would happen, fans would find out their lies. And that is exactly what happened.
Here's the registy entry (

So thank you very much, $ony!! And thank you, Anka, for helping $ony to turn something
BAD into something
WORST :angry:
