A bombshell revelation was confirmed today by Paris Jackson, daughter of the late Michael Jackson. Following the ‘King of Pop’‘s shocking death, his record label (Sony) began scrambling to release his last and final album.
Jackson’s posthumous LP hit stores on December 10, 2010 under the mournful title, ‘Michael’, and was promoted as a self admitted copy-and-paste job of Jackson’s last recorded vocals beefed up with heavy post-production. When ‘Michael’ was released the album was berated with claims that the vocals being heard was an impostor and accused Sony of blatantly trying to swindle fans.
See what Paris had to say about the Jackson legacy’s ‘Milli Vanilli-type’ scandal after the jump and sound-off below.
In an online chat with friends in late 2010 Paris knowingly acknowledged that ‘Michael’ did not feature vocals from her iconic father. The young Jackson added gas to the fire by pointing the finger at the person whose voice is actually heard throughout ‘Michael’–Mr. Jason Malachi. Malachi is a well-known and professional Michael Jackson sound-alike and impersonator. To be quite honest, anyone with ears could hear a discernible difference between the vocals on ‘Michael’ and the ones heard throughout Jackson’s 40+ year career.
From TMZ:
“During the video chat, Paris played one of the songs from the album, “Hold My Hand” … and one of her friends asks why the singer doesn’t sound like MJ.
Paris replied, “It’s NOT him … the whole album isn’t even him!! Go online … go on YouTube and look up Jason Malachi. That’s him!!”
She continues, “I should know if it’s him or not because he would sing to me all the time.”
Listen to ‘Hold My Hand’ to judge for yourself.
According to TMZ the video is currently being shopped around for the biggest pay-off before it makes its [inevitable] way online. On the business hand we can understand (though not agree with) Sony’s reasoning behind wanting to capitalize on the death of the world’s greatest pop star–with that being said it doesn’t negate the fact that their actions were unjustifiably deceitful to MJ fans as well as highly disrespectful to his legacy.
If these allegations turn out to be true: shame on those involved.
Does that ho even know who Whitney is?
People who bought the album, should be refunded.
oh s***
I know this for the very first time i heard the songs from the album, Jason Malachi is a huge Michael fan, if you are a fan of Michael a real one you know it from the beginning.
i know this was not the king of pop F*** SONY!
That’s why I never buy posthumous albums. They always seem like a way for the label to get money they are owed. This is just shady.
Sam
you need to stop riding on Sony and Jay
what do you get out of the Deal? Sony is as bent as Roc and Rihanna
stupid as she is at time-sucking up to Rita and Jay cause they are making childish records called “Rip” is just plain being a follower
Sony is illuminati Headquaters and Roc is illuminati blood sacrificing
false idols getting rich off explotation.
Ummm does she know that Hold My Hand’s vocals were recorded in 2008 – when the demo leaked. She -should- know that considering its her dad, wtf?!
I knew it and I want my money back.
not denying that the rest of the album is faked….but did everyone forget that Hold My Hand leaked in 2008 while he was alive? Its just funny that the only song that Paris specifically mentions is the one that IS authentic.
This is not new news. When ‘michael’ was released alot of Mj fans were protesting the album because his record company released a statement saying that they had mixed MJs voice with other singers to complete the unfinished songs.
Most mj fans hate Sony for things like this. Very money hungry
It’s not ALL faked. You can clearly tell which ones are MJ and which ones are not.
Paris is totally wrong! All the songs are totally Michael’s voice.
Yes, the song hold my hand was leaked in 2008 as a demo and was incomplete when we lost our King of Pop, then the final release was slightly enhanced but that one is definitely MJ. This whole thing seems like its made up because TRUE fans were already aware that 70% of the vocals on the MICHAEL album were dubbed – Rodney Jerkins admitted this not long after the release. DARKCHILD’s “reasoning” behind it is that MJ was such a perfectionist that he would not have wanted a less-than-perfect album released.
I personally would have preferred to hear the raw sounds rather than enhanced songs like Hollywood Tonight that clearly is not our beloved MICHAEL, but that’s not what the label decided to do and it was successful. Hopefully one day they would release some kind of home demo style cd/DVD.
Love MJ for life – AUSTRALIA’s #1 FAN!
Is this new information?
There were rumors swirling when the album came out. Those who bought the album did not care. Let it go.
Funny how “Hold My Hand” leaked about a year before Michael’s death so obviously it is him. The Jackson family wasn’t making money from the album “Michael’ so claimed it was Jason Malachi but it really is Michael Jackson singing.
If Paris Jackson can confirm false identity of an album, why cant she confirm if she really is or isn’t Michael Jackson’s blood child??:?????
This story seems to be as far-fetched as the claim that all the songs are Michael’s vocals. For her to really say “The whole album isnt him!” seems off the wall, especially with songs that were released and recorded well long before his death, like “The Way You Love Me” (which was released in 2004 on his Ultimate Collection), “Behind The Mask” (which was recorded during the Thriller sessions) as well as “Much Too Soon”. But I will say that only 3 of the songs are completely not Michael. “Monster”, “Keep Your Head Up” and “Breaking News” which are all produced by the infamous Casios. But to say the whole album is not him is completely false. I’m not saying Paris is lying, nor telling the truth, Because that is HER father and she would know what her father sounds like. But she is only 13 and this so-called “video” is just a rumor so far.
Sorry guys I mean Teddy Riley not Rodney Jerkins. Was getting confused between Invinsible… duh…! But yes, seems quite far fetched and it’s a shame that this has now made worldwide news. It really puts a bad stamp on MJ’s name. People were saying on the radio here in Australia that Michael must have been “too sick” to even record his own album. My god, I wish I could slap them!
i just want to know who actually thought that it was michael jackson? the impersonator is good but not that good, the moment i heard the snippets i knew it wasnt michael.
She better shut up before they have her killed like they did her father!!
Its not MJ rip mj
I agree with Danny B. 3 songs were leaked/released before Michael died, “Hold My Hand”, “The Way You Love Me” and “Another Day”. I’m not doubting Sony could do this but this is old news now. As a fan of MJ from a baby it’s obvious he sounds different from what’s on the “Michael” album but Michael’s voice had changed quite a bit by the time he died. When I heard the “This is It” live version of “The Way You Make Me Feel” he sounded so rugged and harsh but not bad, similar to how he sounded in “Monster”.
Just to add, one of MJ’s best traits was that he was a vocal chameleon. You wouldn’t think, “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”, “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ “, “Billie Jean”, “Dirty Diana” and “Jam” were recorded by the same person. It’s likely if he was doing demos when he was retreating from puiblic life they would have been rough. I think he did the tracks in question while staying at the Cascio’s house in 2007. These are people he had known since the early 1990’s.
Anyway, none of us were there and none of us TRULY know!
I knew it!!!!! No one believed me when said it lol smh..anything for a dollar…
this guy is even better

If anything is fake it is Paris herself. She is a fraud, a phony, not MJ’s daughter. She needs to shut her famewhore mouth. I am so sick of hearing about these three bought children. Let them go live with their real parents so they can fade into obscurity.
So sick of hearing about this f@mewh0re. SHe should know all about being fake, since she is a fake herself. Not MJ’s kid. Send her to live with her real father, Arnie Klein, so we don’t have to see her anymore.
You have anger problems. So what if that is not his child by blood, he raised her. He loved her and she loved him. She lost a father and that is what is killing her.
Michael Jackson is Paris’ daddy.
I knew it. Nobody was fooled! This entire scam is disgusting and unforgivable. This is honestly the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen in music.

Tommy Matolla gotta be behind this s***.
nothing new i figured that after Paris said in on Oprah after Micheal’s death and when i heard hold my hand the min the video dropped you can hear the difference automatically
We knew this from long time!!!
That is how it was from the start..
I didn’t buy the album!
shudnt she be in school? and this albums been out for how many years now, and shes just speaking up. dont like being rude to kids but shut the f*** up paris. cos im pretty sure she and her bros get a chunk of the sales *rolls eyes*
i d/l the orig back in 08 and wen this ‘finished’ version came out i was like ‘whaaaat?’ the whole album sounded soo bad. thank god mj wernt alive to see/hear what they did
OMJ all of these comments are really rude, why would you believe sick rumors? of course anything bad that sails about michael you all tend to read it and whats even meaner is how you are mean to paris jackson how could you guys? she is the biological child just like prince and blanket get over yourselfs and stop being rude. and i bought the album and thought it was pretty great rather it was mike or not and rather if paris said it or not thats her oppinion.
Nice weblog here! Additionally your site loads up very fast! What web host are you the use of? Can I am getting your associate link on your host? I want my web site loaded up as fast as yours lol
This really doesn’t sound like Michael….Sony sucks for doing such a crappy thing. I am not shocked…look at all the stuff people did to Michael while he was alive….I guess those greedy, low-down, money grubbing blood suckers cashed in on him again. Michael was too good for his own good. Bless his heart I hope he has found happiness, love, respect, and peace….and now he has a home! Miss you much and love you mostest Michael.
