Let's email Sony and Estate as a Community and stop this drama before it's too late!

I can't take this, we've already had enough!!
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread!

I feel pretty much the same as you...

I also thought that maybe they have the other similar voice(s) singing about Michael alongside Michael to see how that would go over as a different type of filler. :scratch:

I've only listened to the song through headphones, about 10 times and I agree there are some strange things, like layers which kick in out of time. I like the song, i like the beat etc. Im sure the horns and violins are 'extra bits' - but who knows for sure?

I was trying to get on here to celebrate but then i saw all the reactions....I went back and listened again, and YES this time I noticed that the heavier vocal sounds like sombody else, especially the chorus, BUT Michael's vocals are extremley clearly present for me. You cant deny his vocals are on this track. Not 100%; there's definatley other voices on there too. UNLESS its just very heavily layered, with new technilogy and like everyone is saying experimentation.

I can't write this off as not being Michael. I just can't - cause I HEAR him.

:yawn: 7am..just got up...just listened to it...LOVE IT!!!
do people think its not MJ? im confused ??? :scratch:
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

I'm seriously confused now
As I said before, one must be crazy to try to fake MJ, it's just impossible, everybody knows his voice...
Well, considering lyrics... I really hope it's a PR stunt. If it is, they got the attention they wanted. But what would they do now? One thing for sure - they definitely won't claim this is Mike.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

Its MJ and to me his voice sounds more mature. I hope everyone re-listens to it. And listen to Jason Malachi and then listen to this.

Oh yes, LISTEN! You won't be able to find the difference! :smilerolleyes:
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

All I know is, this doesn't sound anything like the guy who sang Human Nature and IJCSLY in TII.
 
Lets just wait and see what happenes! I'm not gonna drain any emotion i've got with this! I'm just gonna go with the flow. I'm just tired of fighting to get anything that is Michael… So i'll just wait like Teddy said and see what happenes.



Good NIght--Good Morning-- Good Afternoon y'all! <3

Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread!

OMG!!! Chill Down? I Have Been A Fan Since February 2009 And I Have Listend 24/7 To Mike. And What If I Am 13 Years Old? You Think You're Smarter Just Because Your Older? And Btw...Got Proof That It Is Not Michael?

I have PROOFit is NOT Michael my EARS after listening to him for over 25 yrs every unreleased every accapella every leaked not released snippet

You can belive if you want :wub:
but seasoned fans know .. please trust them
also TJackson TarylJ ackson Kathrine Jackson and Paris jackson
say it is NOT MJ _ I said they were wrong before i heard the song
and I have to say they were 100% right

When Jason malachi first started to release his songs
many fans said it was MJ and swore to it but veteren
seasoned fans told them it was not _ finally Jason came
out and they found out the truth _ there may be some
MJ vocals in that song BUt the LEAd is Jason malachi
and I wont settle for less than MICHAEL.

There's many MJ vocal impersonators. Some better than others. But there is only ONE Michael Jackson. Deceptively merging shady vocals with MJ samples (from prior MJ records) will never fool me. Why they would ignore the obvious, look the other way and rush a suspicious track that was NEVER on my Uncle's radar is beyond me. I'm disgusted, disappointed and saddened. And before the media starts to smear our name, just remember we are COMMITTED (as our Uncle Michael always knew) to protect his name and his amazing legacy he worked his whole life for. We have nothing to gain and we know they will try to drag our name through the mud. But we know how much he valued his legacy and his fans. And cheating either is unacceptable. "Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons"
However there are songs that ARE my uncle singing on the upcoming album and I will support those 100% - Taryll

I'm glad to see MOST of the fans see this isn't Michael at all.

For the rest of you: Listen to more Michael Jackson.

LOL I'm the one of the 'REST' joined MJJF (the former group of MJJC) in 06 and you who joined in 09 told me to listen to more Michael Jackson LOL

This is SO FUNNY I know you are upset but why be sarcastic.
I don't think this song is in great quality or natural, either.

Please be respectful to others. :angel: then you would get more support. OK?
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

Im really not liking this

I'm reading thru teddy's posts and seeing things like god is the only judge, and we'll see if this gets too far...and all this about the truth will come soon even though this is terrible news...sounds like Teddy's on the MJ is alive conspiracy.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

Can we contact SETH RIGGS and get a statement from him. I feel like he would be a fantastic person to contact right now.
please!
but even so... our hearts can't be fooled :(
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

I am certain it's Michael. I love this song. I understand how some people can get confused about his voice in the verses where he's singing "Michael Jackson", it does sound unusual, but the chorus and the bridge are the usual MJ, and the pronanciation is his, especially L's.

it's him.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

Guys! Many of you say about "heavy layered sound" - listen to "2000 Watts" - you can still hear MJ's true voice no matter what electronic effect was made. But not in "Breaking News".
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

All I know is, this doesn't sound anything like the guy who sang Human Nature and IJCSLY in TII.

Exactly. Unless it is a rough recording? Whatever the hell that is.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

Why do people keep saying how different MJ's voice would be because he's 50 etc.... UMMM!! did anyone forget about THIS IS IT!! and how he sounded?? I know not ALL was live but enough to recognize that he does not sound like a complete different person.. Now I would not be suprized if there was more than one person making this vocal..

Possibly MJ, along with 2-3 other vocalists.. there are singers that can match MJ's lower registers like Jason.. (close enough to trick some people) and others that hit different notes that sound simular to MJ.. it could be a few people.. don't forget the number of those people who have sounded pretty simular that tricked people in the past..

But wutever I want to wait to hear where Teddy is going with his comments but I'm honestly not patient right now about it!
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

REALLY disspointed :(

I don't believe its MJ. Ive listened to MJ for years and years. I know when its not him. 2000 watts etc - his voice was manipulated but you could still tell its him - the raw MJ was STILL there.

Here the voice sounds like a young guy in his 20's. It's obvious!

A real shame, cus I love the song, very MJ-esque. Its obviou its got the teddy riley touch to it.

WHY is everything so complicated with MJ.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

For my two cents, i think Michael is on there, but with background vocals & fill in vocals from other people. Then again the song was unfinished or perhaps the quality of Michael's vocals (in the way it was recorded wasn't great) so all sorts of digital trickery was performed to get the best out of those so-so quality recordings. Also peoples voices change as they get older, that could be a factor of course.

IF sony are tricking us, they have gone to a lot of trouble as there are supposed to be a fair number of unreleased tracks that Michael had done, so i don't see the sense in it.

I love the song, hopefully the truth will find it's way out & i agree, Seth Riggs should hear the album & give his opinion.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

100% MJ!!!!
His voice sounds different due to the effects (just like it did on Privacy and 2000 Watts)
The song is catchy as hell! Great classic Beat and I LOVE it!!!
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

SUSAN, this part of your post:
"My guessing is maybe a certain amount of record sales had to be produced before MJ would start earning profits or regaining his intrist in the catalogs. What is the big 250 million dollar secret?"

had me thinking, but would they go to these lengths to sabotage him. I agree, though, that we have to find out more about this.

Sony needs to say that a small part is Michael and the rest is not.

It's actually Sharon, not Susan. What I am saying is that nothing makes since and in my attempts of coming to a plausible conclusion this is the only thing that makes since in my mind.

"would they go to these lengths to sabotage him?" Are you familiar with 2005 trial? A lady testified to having been hired by her boyfriend who was hired to sabotage Michael... What lengths would they not go??????????

What Sony needs to do is tell us what's in that secret contract the estate signed. That's what I want to know!
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

I kept hearing that MJ's mom and kids say its not MJ etc.. Are there any quotes by them or articles saying that they said things??

I read his nephews, and brothers quote(s).. but I'd like to read/hear theres too

Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

(From a 42-year-old who has been a fan since 1976).

This song is ..........

1. Lame: Do we really need an M.J. song post-death of him ragging on the media yet again. What, he's supposed to be defiant in death, now? Silly. We really need to put that nonsense behind us and focus on positive things about M.J. and this song does not help in that regard.

2. Does not sound like Michael. Every TRUE Michael fan can pick his voice out and tell a fake in a nanosecond. I'm not saying 100 percent it's a fake, but not at any time during the song did I feel like i WAS TRULY LISTENING to Michael.

3. Regardless of the above, even if it is Michael, is this really the song they wanted to leak to the public first??? It's completely mediocre. Nothing special about it at all. Hold My Hand is 100-times better and in that song, it sounds like M.j.

4. Everyone remember that leaked track, Gangsta?? At 15 seconds in this clip...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJIRivHVzBU

...MJ's voice comes in with a melodic wail and you can totally tell it's him.

In Breaking News there is NOT ONE moment like that where you feel as if you are listening to the true Michael Jackson.

Very disappointed. Very sad. Shame on Teddy Riley for even producing this garbage. He should know better. And even if it is M.J., the song is beneath his standards and should have remained buried.

100% MJ!!!!

LOL :wild: I would go for a 0% MJ
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

I JUST EMAILED SETH RIGGS

Here is what I wrote to him

"Dear Mr. Riggs,

The Michael Jackson fan community is really troubled by the song that Sony just released on the official Michael Jackson website entitled "Breaking News." As his vocal coach I felt I should try to contact you on behalf of the community. Is this really Michael or is Sony trying to release a track with an impostor? You worked with our beloved until his death from my knowledge so if you could let us know the truth/your opinion would would greatly appreciate.

I think you from the bottom of my heart for the time you put into reading this. God Bless.

Richard T. .........."

We don't need Seth Riggs to confirm anything. As fans we know better than anyone else what MJ sounds like, especially the ones who have been fans for decades. We've heard his every song a hundred times over, we've heard the Jason Malachi BS, we know how to spot the difference. This is clearly not MJ, i hope Sony dont try to convince us that it is, they just need to admit they messed up and hopefully theres still time to fix up this mess before December 14.

This is EXACTLY what I'm thinking. MJ's voice is there in the back... but wtf, why would they do that. -___- The other vocals are just so questionable. It does sound like a rough unfinished song though.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]


That first song is beyond amazing. If that's not on Michael I will be so displeased.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS Countdown and Reactions thread! All discussion in here. [Merged]

The song is a killer :lol:
