Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

It's gonna be the Akon version: confirmed by Sony 5 mins ago.

Might not tickle all your fancies but I strongly believe Sony are making a smart call here.
I just saw this, there goes my hope for MJ only. I doubt they add "more MJ vocals" as well.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Really? Well how much did they sell and how long did it take to sell it?

The demand for Take That tickets was DOUBLE the amount for This Is It tickets. Just like This Is It, sold out in minutes.

That is old, there has been updates stating a new version with more Michael will be released. Confirmed by Akon via Twitter.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

am I the only one that likes HMH just the way it is? I thought their voices blended beautifully. I won't mind hearing more MJ of course, but the version that leaked 2 years ago is a really nice track.
No, you are not. I like HMH too :girl_happy:
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

After being baffled about the report from michaelmania that Hold My Hand was down as the lead single I emailed Sony and low and behold they immediately confirmed that it IS the lead single.

Omg you can only hear michael at the beginning.. the rest is just Akon... For god sake :/!!
(As long it's only Michael in the song and not Akon, then it's just fine..)
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

If Hold My Hand is the first single i hope that Akon singing ''Konvict music'' at the start is taken out. If i wanted to hear that i'd buy an Akon album
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

DO u guy think the new album have a chance at selling a million in its first week

Yes.

The few people who've heard it say it's incredible. Look at this TMZ Live clip (11/05/10 - Part 1) -- at around 3:17 Harvey says he talked to a source who heard the album and who said it was absolutely amazing and could be "in Thriller territory" in terms of sales.

He also makes a good point in saying that MJ's music is no longer a limitless commodity -- there are only so many unreleased songs, and after they've all been released there simply won't be any more new music... I think this album will have massive mainstream appeal and might reach record-breaking sales.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat....
THEN IT'S NOT A MJ SONG?
Ughhh..!!
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

500 pages and going strong.


HMH was reworked guys. And Akon confirmed this and that is has more MJ vocals. HMH is a more radio friendly song. If yall hadnt heard it already, I dont think we'd be getting this reaction. BUT we're getting BN too so its win win IMO
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

No! Akon has since confirmed that the version released will have more Michael. My posts need to be confirmed by a moderator before you see them... so all I can do is watch you spread wrong rumours. So annoying.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Well, yeah, BUT we could've gotten another new song that could've been even better than Breaking News.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

:)....

Let me add links and screenshots as well. I was trying to get the news here quickly but then I realized that it seemed like I was talking with Akon and showed no source. That's not the case I just copied his tweets from his OFFICIAL AND VERIFIED Twitter account.

Akon answer: yes it does. Your going to love it!

Q= It's rumored that Hold My Hand will be the first single of new MJ album. did you listen to the finished version and like it?

Akon answer: yep! I can't wait!!
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Hold My Hand is not my favourite song, but I am not surprised that it's the first single. I am really curious to hear the extra MJ vocals, the ones we've heard so far were really good in my opinion. I remember finding it striking that his voice sounded so young on it, almost early 80ish, when I first heard it back in '08.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

17 hours back to the first single: Breaking news!!
:D
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

l remember in 2008 ,l was listening to Hold my hand with my niece and she fall asleep

have you even HEARD breaking news?????
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

I know this has probably been asked already, but what time in the uk will it start streaming?
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -MICHAEL Release date Dec 14th

--- From today TMZ Live Q & A Harvey Levin comments on the album

Q = Do you think MJ's songs are real?

Harvey = Do I think they are real? Yes. So here's the thing. I know somebody who has listened to the entire album. they say this album is unbelievably good. Like unbelievably good. Dare I say that this could be in Thriller territory.

TMZ staff member = wow

Harvey = Yeah because think about it, it's not a limitless commodity anymore. Michael Jackson is dead, so there's only gonna be so many songs. and people have an appetite for it right now. and this album is apparently is awesome. not just good but like really really good.

TMZ staff member = you mean sales will approach thriller?

Harvey= that's what I'm saying.

TMZ staff member = you don't mean the quality of the album.

Harvey = well all I know is I talked to someone who said it's unbelievably good. I don't know about the quality, thriller is so unbelievable but I'm talking about sales. I'm just saying that I think that this thing is going to sell off the charts. And I hear it's just great. Great. And it's not like retried(?) Michael Jackson, it's really interesting great stuff I heard.


--- Another comment from today TMZ Live Q & A Harvey Levin comments on the vocals

Q = With all the hoopla about the validity of the upcoming MJ album, I was curious if there will be any legal ramifications for Sony if it's found out that a) MJ wasn't actually the singer or b) if they found out that Sony enhanced some parts?

Harvey = It's him. Look guys it's him. He was in this house for 4 months recording these songs. It's him. This is JFK conspiracy theory stuff but it's absolutely Michael Jackson. I mean everyone that I talked to, there are people who listened to this who are experts. It's him.

TMZ Staff Member (another lawyer) = but if Sony was to defraud the public it would be a bad thing for them.

Harvey = but it's him.

---------------------------------

See even Harvey Levin (who cannot be classified as a fan of MJ) can be real positive and supportive about this album.


Its strange seeing him being so postive bout mj.......i dont know whether to belive hes sinerce or not.

I hope it's indeed an amazing album.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

That makes me sad that one day there won't be any more new songs. :( It had to happen one day i guess...

What're you talking about?
No more new album from him at the future? I think so there will ;)
The King never dies.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

I believed that HMH will be flipped compared to the other version. Akon sings the first verse and then Michael takes over the rest of the song.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

What're you talking about?

The King never dies.

What i mean is that there will only be a certain amount of songs that Michael recored that we haven't heard & are unreleased.I know there should be another album after this one coming up, but after that, who knows? One day there won't be any new songs that will be released because they have all been released? Do you understand me now?
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

I have to say i totally disagree with anyone who dislikes the HMH song.
We first heard it in august of 2008 and i like many others were blown away at the thought of getting a new song like that.
HMH is a classic right up there with the likes Heal The World, WATW etc and furthermore we are all familiar with it.
To hear another "finished" version along with Akon's vocals will be amazing and im just a little surprised that this isnt the song being released this monday.


A classic right up there wiht HTW? Sorry, but that's just nonsense. This song isn't even written by Mike nor Akon, by somebody else named Claude Kelly. It doesn't touch a Heal the world. Let's just not exeggerate things now. Heal the world gives you the goosebumps cause of the lyrics and his incredible voice, the song is as heartfelt as it gets...HMH is incredibly cheesy compared to it.
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

I think the next 'new' album will be released in /2013/2014
just a guess off course
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Well, yeah, BUT we could've gotten another new song that could've been even better than Breaking News.

Cant please everyone can he? And youve heard how much of BN?
 
Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Can you guys settle a dispute for me? On the Wikipedia article for this album, there are people arguing whether this album is a studio album or a compilation album. What do you think?
