I heard a song in the background of a This Is It movie preview that I'll assume is this song? It sounded pretty good! I'll have to try to listen to this one and see if it's the same song.

After hearing this in full, I am in love with it, but I don't think it's going to be so colossal #1 song. Maybe for a month but I don't think it's going to do any BEP/Mariah numbers.

I wish they would have taken his vocals and had a superstar producer make the music better. That's what I would've wanted. Maybe get Will I am to produce since they were good friends.

I thought I read a press release that said that despite the rumors, this was not going to be released as a single. They want you to buy that overly priced CD set.

They want you to buy that overly priced CD set. anything over 1.29 is overpriced for this song and that collection. I don't think anyone is going to buy no matter how sorry they feel for Michael Jackson unless they are fans and even then some of us wont buy it because there is no reason for us to buy it.

I'm predicting that this will get a lot of spins for the next week or two until the curiosity factor wears out. I can't think of any format where this fits.

I hope not. I hope it flops! In fact, aside from the movie I hope everything connected with this project flops.

I hope this song dissapears quickly... easily his worse single ever... even worse than "Heal the World" and "Cry."

Yeah, he he has already sold over 4 million cd's since his death, no way he look bad at this point. I don't know, this is not single material- his voice sounds youthful, though the fingersnaps sound sort of the 'bad' era, probably added. it is not a strong song. the thing is, that leaked song 'hold my hand' was much better than this as a would-be single that appeared months ago- no mistake, the public will eat this up, but if they had put out a good song as a single, the public would have eaten this up and THE NEXT ONE- I don't see that happening here- people won't be burned twice. he deserves better than this.

"Heal the World" is amazing... but "Cry" isn't. And this song isn't either. I'm not sure this would be #1 on ITunes even if it were released. Michael would not have approved this production on the song. It sounds like a demo (which obviously it is because he died before he could update it).

Paul Anka Claims 'This Is It' is a Rip-Off Posted Oct 12th 2009 4:58PM by TMZ Staff www.tmz.com/2009/10/12/paul-anka-michael-jackson-this-is-it-I-never-heard/If you think Michael Jackson's "This Is It" sounds familiar, it's because the song is a rip-off that was released nearly two decades ago by another artist ... and the man making this claim is none other than music legend Paul Anka. Anka tells TMZ in 1983, he wrote a song with Jackson called "I Never Heard" -- and the demo of the song was recorded in Anka's studio in Carmel, CA. Anka says he took the tape to a studio in Hollywood to put the finishing touches on it for Anka's duets album, "Walk a Fine Line." Anka claims Jackson -- who was just blowing up at the time with "Thriller" -- got a big head and "stole the tapes" from the studio. Anka tells us he called the lawyers who repped both he and Jackson -- ironically one of them was John Branca -- and threatened them with a lawsuit if he didn't get the tapes back. Anka got them back but insists Jackson made a copy of the tapes and used the track with his voice from "I Never Heard" -- and simply retitled it, "This Is It." Anka gave "I Never Heard" to another artist -- Safire -- who recorded it in 1990. We called Sony Music who released "This Is It" ... no comment so far. Anka tells us he's talking with his lawyers about his legal options SAME SONG- almost SAME LYRICS!

I hope this song dissapears quickly... easily his worse single ever... even worse than "Heal the World" and "Cry." What are you talking about? Heal The World is absolutely beautiful. I "like" Heal the World... sometimes I love it, sometimes its unlistinable... since he died, the whole thing is just too much. Either way, it IS one of his worst singles... other than maybe Cry, MJ has never released a s**t single. This Is It easily takes the cake. Paul Anka can have his stoopid song back... the only reason anyone is giving this a listen is because of who's singing it.

I love Safire version. LOL. (Now that's the backing track that would have worked for me -- of course, a little more updated -- but a lot better than what they did.) Ah, controversy -- it will only make this explode more as it hits the headline....

I think he's only being partly truthful. It serves SONY right for trying to pass this crap track that Michael didn't put on any album for 20years as a new single.

Sony should've released the song with Akon if they needed a new MJ song to release.

Quick cut info reports 1 pop spin www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/Reports/Reg/EMD.asp?SOngID=1689536&NumDays=7 Do they really think they can afford to not sell the single individually? Like people are going to go "I wanted to buy just the single, but I can't so I'm going to buy the whole album instead because the single is SOOOOOOOOO worth it." No.
