Wow! This could explain why his kids and mom didn't think that it was him!

Source close to the production of Michael Jackson's posthumous album, Michael, claim that the singer was apparently so concerned about his new material being leaked before it was released that he sang a portion of the songs over VOICEMAIL directly to his producers!

The insider explains:

"A large chunk of the album came from voice mails. Michael was certain new stuff would get out so he decided to sing lyrics down the phone. After Michael's death last year there were question marks over whether the messages would be able to be used. Record bosses were worried whether it would come off at all. Luckily it did, but it hasn't been an easy process."

WTF?

Well no wonder there's so much confusion over authenticity!

We're surprised that they were able to salvage as much as they did!

Unbelievable. Couldn't there have been an easier way to record the vocals privately?

Just another reason they should have never tried to release any new material to begin with!

What do U think?? Should Michael be released??

It is extremely disrespectful to release an artist's work if they didn't deem it complete themselves.

Seriously, the man is dead, have some fucking respect, and leave him alone. The music he made when he was alive, will live forever. That's enough.

look Michael was not so off in thinking people were after him. That is why he left some of his songs as voicemail's. Now in terms of if he ever wanted the song to be released we will never know.But I think Sony should listein to his family at least if they dont agree on a song being released geez. I am a long time fan in my own selfish way I am glad that there will be new songs of MJ's that I can buy. But then again I can understand how its being disrespectful for him. I do think that he wrote and sang these songs for a reason. I love you MJ

I would have asked Justin Timberlake, Robbie Williams and lets say Cher to go over his unreleased music and let them pick out the tracks they like for an album or two. They are artists with an incredible trackrecord and taste across different genres and I would trust them to pick great songs. If they do not find any, forget about it all.
But as it is now, they are going to push and push and push and a few self proclaimed musical experts or some half assed artists are going to pick the songs with Katherine and it is almost 100% that the record will be average at best.

I say no. Especially since it wasn't even completed yet.

I don't think they should release anything without his consent, and he is dead, so..

This 'source' clearly was payed off by Sony to say that. In no shape or form, does the new track contain Michael's vocals. Like the family and people who've worked with him in the past have said, it just samples MJ's breathing and some of his ad-libs. The lead vocals were sung by someone else, in an obvious attempt to cash in on Michael's name. This is the truth and everyone should know it. I for one am not going to support such a project.
