JAMON. JAMON. JEEWKNOW. JEEWKNOW. In news that is surprising to no-one, Michael Jackson’s last recorded song is apparently an attempt to cash in from twenty or so years ago. And it was co-written by Paul Anka. And given to a freestyle singer named Sa-Fire. Yes, that’s right. We can’t have any Michael Jackson news that isn’t intrinsically weird.
This Is It, the song that’s already tearing up the billboard charts, heralded as Michael Jackson’s triumphant return to form, is actually from years and years ago. It was written in 1983 by Paul Anka and Michael Jackson, answering the question, how many people does it take to write a hit for Michael Jackson? It takes 26 years. It was recorded in 1991 by Saffire, and actually has Michael Jackson singing on the background vocals. The only problem is, Paul Anka didn’t get a writing credit. So he will probably be pressing charges soon.
I don’t know, I don’t think the song is that great. The fact that it’s been released almost twice before makes me sad. Michael Jackson was capable of putting out much better material. He does all he can with the songs, but without big-name collaborators like Quincy Jones, I think he’s missing something. But people will eat it up.

Not only is the song old, but this is OLD NEWS. Where have you been? Anka won't be pressing charges either, and you can find out what happened by Googling what happened last Monday. And I can't believe you actually made the statement "He does all he can with the songs, but without big-name collaborators like Quincy Jones, I think he’s missing something." LOL He didn't do anything, he's dead, and had nothing to do with this song's release. If he had - it would have come out more like a Rembrandt. Cut the crap - The media slant against MJ is getting so old, and in the very near future, you will see and hear more from MJ's fans, and what they think.

I just did. They never disappoint with the crazy. And if Jackson had something to do with it, chances are, it would've never been released.
