When 3T and family said new tracks arent MJ, I scoffed at them thinking they were crazy. First line of BN, I owed em an apology.
Exactly, when i was playing breaking news for the first time, i just wanted to see how it went, the melody and so forth, I was thinking, oh those are lovely harmonies in the strings at the begining. Then it started to build how it did in the preview snippet, i got a huge rush of exitement, first line as soon as i heard whoever it was say michael's own name, and the way whoever it was said Jackson i cringed, emotionally dead, the rest was history. I had forgotten the fake vocals story completely, i was just so exited to hear how the track went, get the feel of it at all, but as soon as whoever it was opened their mouth the vocals shot to my attention, it was screaming at me that this was not our Michael. I felt the emotion in his live this is it vocals, he didn't loose that skill, how strange that it should be absent from just these particular tracks, especially breaking news and monster. The vibratto just isn't right, the hamonies don't make that classic michael jackson harmony sound, the way they kind of shiver and swell. And the lead vocal is just......... well the pronunciation is just not the way he says things, the vibratto isn't right, the phrasing is careless, even in demos MJ always had good phrasing. And lastly the composition is terrible, MJ would never go for those harmonic choices, when asked about Britney or justin timberlake by interviewers his response was always very polite and humble and he enjoyed working with them, but you can tell musically he wasn't interested in that kind of pop, which is what these new tracks are like. I've listed to Monster once and that was enough, i didn't feel i needed to listen to it again, it left me cold, wasn't interested in it any more. No MJ song ever in his entire back catalogue including leaked demos has ever given me that feeling. I've listened to slave to the rhythm and BG 70 times combined since yesterday, monster has had just 1 play. It's just such a travesty, i can't believe fans believe this is him. It's a bit frustrating when i read stuff like, at first i thought it wasn't him, but now i think it is. What's changed there mind? well the track hasn't changed at all the vocals are exactly the same. All thats happened is more people have being trying to prove to them it is him, and they are going against there own mind in following the official word, surely your own mind is the only thing you can be sure of in this life, it's the only thing thats really reality. The phrase 'always trust your instincts' wasn't invented for nothing, and it most definantly applies here. What a nightmare. I'm just going to try and enjoy what is him singing.
