Will against new Jackson album

Will.i.am thinks a new Michael Jackson album featuring unreleased material from the late King of Pop is a bad idea, and that Jacko himself would have been against it.
The Black Eyed Peas frontman, who worked with Jackson in the past, is vehemently opposed to the album, which is expected by the end of the year, and will be culled from unreleased material in the Thriller star's vaults.
"I don't think that should ever come out. That's bad," Will said. "He was a perfectionist and he wouldn't have wanted it that way. How you gonna release Michael Jackson when Michael Jackson ain't here to bless it?"
Will.i.am collaborated with Jackson on the re-release of Thriller in 2008, with remixed versions of some of the album's classic songs. He said Jackson was very particular about all aspects of his musical productions, from his vocals to arrangements to instrumentation.
"Now that he is not part of the process, what are they doing? Why would you put a record out like that? Because he was a friend of mine, I just think that's disrespectful," he said. "What's wrong with what he already contributed to the world?"
The Jackson estate did not respond to a request for comment.
When asked about the high demand for any new Jackson music, Will replied: "So what? You don't disrespect someone when they're gone ... How much can you suck from his energy? ... Freaking parasites!"
Not much is known about what will be on the album, but Michael's brother Jackie has said he and brother Marlon are working on the record with John McClain, Jackson's former manager and executor of his estate.

NEW YORK (AP) — A new Michael Jackson album is expected by the end of the year, culled from unreleased material in his vaults. But Jackson collaborator and Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am is vehemently opposed to the idea.
 
    “I don’t think that should ever come out. That’s bad,” he said. “He was a perfectionist and he wouldn’t have wanted it that way. How you gonna release Michael Jackson when Michael Jackson ain’t here to bless it?”
    Will.i.am collaborated with Jackson on the rerelease of “Thriller” in 2008 with remixed versions of some of the album’s classic songs. He said Jackson was very particular about all aspects of his musical productions, from his vocals to arrangements to instrumentation.

LOL, yes how do you do that?  :lol:

[mjjglory]

Well, maybe it's not good  of me but I 'm eager to get this new album. I want to listen to new Michael's music.  I know Michael is a perfectionist and that's why I don't think the estate will choose  the unfinished stuff for the  new album.

Maybe Will. I. Am simply knows Michael's new music is perfect and will have a great success and he simply  envies Michael. Just a thought.

[hope]

I agree with him 100%. I said those almost exact words to a friend a couple of days ago...freaky. :shock:

[TrustNoOne]

Interesting. Looks like some people will buy this new album, with "previously unreleased" material. I will not. There is many "previously unreleased MJ material" on the web, and most of it is not by Michael     .

Insiders also said that most of Michael's own "unreleased" material is from the late 90s.
There's far too many doubles, impersonators, look-alikes, dance-alikes (and some real good ones!), sing-alikes (e.g. Malachi). And, I don't trust SONY   :twisted:

So, if I read this right, Will I. Am must also believe that the release of TII was a bad idea. I'm not sure what to think - he does make some good points. I don't want to be considered a parasite... :?

Jodi Gomes on Facebook :

Jodi Gomes : " What are your thoughts on this as an MJ Fan? Knowing what I know, MJ
wouldn't release the material because his love of the craft and EXCEEDING his fans expectations was key to his soul. HE was his music and nobody else can achieve that. But the demand for
his new music is beyond anybody's understanding and if it benefits his children, I'm for it. If it doesn't.."

I have been thinking about this for a while and I have come to the conclusion that I don't really want to hear new "old music". What was cut from the past albums, Michael wanted cut for a reason so I want to respect those wishes. The last thing I want for mj is for him to be judged yet again and give critics a change to say negative things. I do want to help his kids though but maybe there is already enough money flying around that they should be fine right. So no I agree with Will.i.am. And I hope he meant sony was the parasite not the fans. The fans aren't parasites just desperate to hear his voice sing again. I would love to hear the music he collaborated on lately though. Hopefully he left instructions that it was ok to release the recent albums with the collaborations with Will.i.am and Akon and whoever else.

[hope]

Michael was/is a perfectionist and perfected his music and albums himself before releasing them. To have someone, other than Michael himself, release any of his music without he himself okaying it, does not sit well with me. I would always wonder if he is ok with me listening to it. I feel that way everytime I hear TII. As anxious as I am to hear any new MJ music, I DO NOT feel comfortable with sony, McClane, Jackie and Marlon putting it out there. If Michael cannot release his own music, then nobody should. I would feel better waiting a few years and letting his children release it.

Looks like Will I Am isn't in the loop. Unless theres a hidden messages to this that will be more obvious as time goes on.

[Truth_or_Dare]

He makes some good points....Of course the fans want it, they want anything with MJ's name on it and the "parasites" are more than happy to provide it  :evil:
But didn't LaToya take some songs from his house the day after he died? Did she do it so she could release them now? I sure hope this is a hoax and it's all in Mj's plan ..otherwise...it's just all too sick. I feel sorry for those kids, if he's really gone.
I'm still optimistic though...maybe Will I am will end up supporting it, which would mean another "point" for the hoax    We'll see.
