Exactly. They will accomplish nothing with faking the title. The song is called DYKWYCA and should be released with that title.

DYKWYCA is one of the song I am looking the most forward to !!

Reviews have been very positive about that song !!

The stupid Wade case is in june right. - Then maybe in July Michael will be found not guilty - and THEN DYKWYCA should be released as a single!! :)
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Clear proof that Roger Friedman is the biggest moron in this world and that he is not a journalist. Clear proof that he is tone deaf. He posted some fake She Was Loving Me on his page thinking that that is Michael Jackson. Same happened with Cascio-Malachi songs when he said that Michael's vocals sound incredible!
 
“Slave to the Rhythm” — there was a controversy about this track because one of Michael’s kids gave it to Justin Bieber, who then released his own bootlegged version with his vocals added.

So Tricky Stewart is one of Michael’s kids?? I didn't know that..

Proper channels have been informed about Roger's post and I think videos will be removed any time soon.

Don't give any clicks to Roger's article, he is trying to sabotage this release.

Haha, Roger is such a douchebag. I bet he can't get over the fact that there are no Cascio songs on the new album.

"Here Are All The “New” Michael Jackson Songs, Including Rip off of “A Horse with No Name”
Click to expand...
by Roger Friedman - April 2, 2014 1:47 am

All the songs from Michael Jackson’s posthumous “Xscape” album have been available for eons on YouTube and other places. Not only that, one of them is a total rip off of America’s 1972 classic “A Horse with No Name.” I’d like to know what it cost to license those rights. What a payday for Dewey Bunnell. He must be thanking his lucky stars. I hope his lawyer and his music publisher got him seven figures.

“Slave to the Rhythm” — there was a controversy about this track because one of Michael’s kids gave it to Justin Bieber, who then released his own bootlegged version with his vocals added. I wrote about that at least 18 months ago. Now it’s back.

That awkward moment when America themselves actually approved of the song half a decade...

Great! - And I could not agree more about the cover needing to be current! - He did a great job!!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Was Bruce Swedien involved in this project?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I can't wait for the booklet!!

I hope for some new never seen before photos of MJ - and some handwritten lyrics would be VERY VERY cool too!!

I hope for a booklet with a lot of pages - like the HIStory booklet - it was amazing!! - But pictures of MJ in the studio and some of MJ's handwritten lyrics would be fantastic!

What do you hope for?

Of course he does because this time his friends are not on the album and he doesn't have a financial gain!

What a piece of crap. A few months from now when the album is a hit he will be praising the songs. I hope Sony goes after him. Lies.

I hope they release "Do you know" first. It's time for this shit to end, all of it. MJs voice will have the final say in all this BS. Have faith and be strong people we knew this was coming. Nice rant lol! I do believe we will prevail.

I agree. I hated that they used a Pic of MJ from the Thriller era on the Michael album. I thought it was insulting

Is it just me or is the cover based on the same picture they used for the 30th anniversary celebration promo picture (the one with the candle)?
I love the cover, and no 80ies MJ. the jaw/mouth part could be a bit better, but I love it! What an improvement (compared to the cover from 2010!)

Candle picture?

Nice find (the infos)! I love the cover! It's certainly not perfect, lot's of room for improvement imo. But I'm not complaining.

Maybe a small Q+A with him would be possible?
