Is it really Jacko's voice?

You make call.

The newest single from Michael Jackson is about being Michael Jackson, and having to deal with the press making up things about you for no reason other than you're Michael Jackson. Boo and/or hoo. Sample statement from the ominous opening: "The plot thickens to destroy Michael Jackson." No one realized it would make more sense to say "The plot to destroy Michael Jackson thickens," but we're not dealing with people who watch a lot of news.

There's been some questions about whether it's him. Probably; sounds as lame as most of the pop he did in the last ten years. The entire song is here. There's the same harmonies, an occasional whee-heee and it's about something to which we can all relate: being Michael Jackson!
