Yeah, he didn't.

It was obviously not Michael singing in that Simpsons episode

I always thought "Lisa It's Your Birthday" was him. Quite sad to find out it wasn't. I knew he was credited under another name and thought that was what the thread was about but obviously not. Still at least it was him talking even if he didn't do the singing.

I thought everybody knew that he didn't sing in the episode.

He wasn't aloud to sing for the episode because of his contract with Sony or something like that.

It was Kip Lennon who did the singing part for Michael.

Old news by the way NME, Probably after the poll they realized anything with MJ on it will sell :smilerolleyes:

It is strange,'cause on the official Facebook of MJ,, they have this 'trivia day'
The question yesterday was:
Trivia day: How was Michael credited when he voiced a character on “The Simpsons” in 1991?
The answer is just posted on MJ''s FB:
Answer: Michael was credited as “John Jay Smith.”

Why are they asking this particulair question now, when yesterday the article about the Simpsons popped out of nowhere?!

I think it was due to legal reasons hence why Michael wasn't allowed to sing.
