[quote]After controversy surrounding Howard Mann, Katherine Jackson and the new Michael Jackson single that was really just a remix of "Destiny," the King of Pop's latest, posthumous effort has actually been released, and "Breaking News" is terrific.
It's the first song from Sony's new Jackson album, due out later this year. "Breaking News" is vintage Jackson, from the vocals down to the catchy beats.

The much-anticipated song is a harsh look at the media through the eyes of MJ, who knew a thing or two about scrutiny. The lyrics have the feel of a defiant, comeback proclamation from an unparalleled entertainer with something to prove.
As we previously reported, the song was recorded at the home of music producer Eddie Cascio, where Michael and his children lived for four months in 2007.

Sony is copyright claiming the youtube videos with the song.
Just heard it on the radio a moment ago, his voice is deeper than usual.

Preview of the song if that matters
Is it like puberty deep?
Kind of, he doesnt sound all high anymore

Well, you're not all that high when you're six feet under.
Song isn't too bad, though.
It sounds more like electro.
Someone on the radio said it was like a Britney Spears song
Uh it doesn't sound like Michael Jackson at all.

Does anyone else find that cover a little creepy?

It sounds like some of the vocals were edited out and a very white impersonator took over.
I do not need that many Michael Jackson's staring at me.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;25938006]Does anyone else find that cover a little creepy?[/QUOTE]
No, I think it's pretty awesome.
well he never wanted this stuff to be out on stores right
How is it "leaked".
It is officially released on his website.
[QUOTE=pieman26;25938034]well he never wanted this stuff to be out on stores right[/QUOTE]
Most bands have songs they think are crap/dull and never release them, or put them all together and sell them as a 'Fan album'. This is just his... fan album! Yeah, that'll justify it.
Help me guys.
And yes, it sucks compared to his other unreleased stuff. Awful production.
It's rubbish.
[QUOTE=MrEndangered;25938019]No, I think it's pretty awesome.[/QUOTE]
I would have done something with his moonwalk.
Michael wouldn't have given two shits if his song got leaked, because it would NEVER have gotten leaked. Sony put it out there on purpose, and to make them seem like big dog they're making Youtube their bitch.
Michael, your cover is so modest!
Sounds like Supermassive Black Hole with a little bit of Bartman mixed in for good measure.
i dont see why it's so bad
I thought it was fine
Wtf is this shit.
It doesn't sound like Michael Jackson
Sounds like him, but incomplete. It's like they just tied the song together in bits and pieces. Something is too off. Justin Timberlake anyone?
MJ wouldn't have released this had he still been alive. First off it's too self involved, and it doesn't sound like a MJ song.
It's garbage
I don't like the references to third person at the start. These were unreleased for a reason. He knew they weren't his quality level. Shame on Sony to milk his fans and ruin his reputation.
Oh god the thread in video section was right all along
Michael Jackson sucks anyway
