First review of new Michael Jackson single
Breaking News
Cameron Adams, Music Reporter From: Herald Sun November 09, 2010 2:25PM

HERE is what we know about the "new" Michael Jackson song Breaking News.

It was recorded in New Jersey three years ago with a no-name producer.

And if Jacko hadn't died it would have no doubt stayed unreleased.

Breaking News sounds like an outtake from 1991's dated swingbeat album Dangerous.

There's already debate - started by the media-shy Jackson family – about whether it's even Jacko singing.

Certainly bits sound like him, and bits could easily be a sound-a-like considering the vague confirmation the song was "recently brought to completion."

It's kind of weird hearing Jackson - if it is him - singing about himself in the third person and talking about reporters wanting to "write my obituary."

Actually, scrap that.

On the scheme of weird things Jacko did, it barely cracks the Top 100.

But Jacko gets the last hee-hee with the accidentally ironic opening line "Everyone wanting a piece of Michael Jackson" christening the first of seven planned posthumous albums on Sony.

Let's hope they've got better unheard pieces of Michael than this.

This is a "review"?  Have music critics sunk so low?  Sorry, but I see this only as another dig at "Jacko".  BASTARDS.

That's not a review. That's just a bunch of name calling and verbal abuse.

Any publicity is good publicity.

Things are getting back to normal. There is buzz about Michael again and let's hope it's he who has the last laugh.

and talking about reporters wanting to "write my obituary."

That's so odd coming from the tabloids, .. as he wrote that ..

That has this strange coming from the sensationalist press,... as the who wrote that..is not what we have always done? :geek:
