Filed under: Listen To This > Michael Jackson > Akon
Once upon a time, we didn't think of Michael Jackson as a freak or a potential pedophile.
Back in the day, he was one of the best musicians of all time. Way back in the day!
Now, MJ has re-recorded Thriller, the best selling album of all time, for its 25th anniversary with some "contemporary" artists.
Some of the songs are hit or miss, but Akon's take on Wannabe Startin' Something is KILLER.
Enjoy it below!

Re: Nessie –
You know in elementary school when some kids would run to line up so they could be first. Same thing. They're childish idiots who lack any interesting thoughts to add to the discussion.
the original quincy jones version does laps around this all emulated beat garbage. it sounds like it was made with garage band.
YOU KNOW…CHILD FUCKERS…THEY FUCK LITTLE KIDS….IT IS A CRIME!
You nasty butt fucking pieces of filth!
Come Perez, you are being unfair to Michael Jackson. Even though he has not put out an album in a while, he is still a musical genius. Here's the Sony Music press release:
FROM SONY PRESS RELEASE
This first single from Thriller 25th Anniversary, is a new track produced by Akon and Michael, featuring Akon's vocal and a brand new 2008 Michael Jackson vocal track. Not a remix but a new version of this classic! MJ mixed and mastered the new cut.
PURE AND UTTER SHITE - THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO COULD ENJOY THIS CRAP ARE DEAF AND DUMB.
Akon sucks and needs to be shipped back to Senegal or wherever the fuck he's from. Who the fuck told him he could sing? And he can take no talent dipshit T-Pain and child molesting monster MJ with him.
It's KILLING my hearing!!! What the fuck? Please just bring back the good old days. MJ and janet are so over. And what kind of name is Ahole?
FIRST?!?!?! Well FIRST as a man that is bringing peace on earth. God bless y'all.
ohhh i love it
very good
I fucking hate Akon and hope he dies because his life is a big ball of burning BULLSHIT!!!!!!!
FUCK YOU AKON!!!
YOU CAN NEVER BE MICHAEL
where can I hear the other songs?
Re: Pass – I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY AND AKON IS BULLSHIT
Honestly? This version is nice, but just shows how much of a great singer MJ was. His voice in the original track is so much better compared to Akon's.
uhhh, this has been out for a while now, perez. come on now.
sucks.
And you inbred pieces of fuck are supporting them!
THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS! THEY BOTH FUCK LITTLE KIDS!
That was a horrible cover.
THEY BOTH ABUSE CHILDREN AND FUCK THEIR TINY BOTTOMS THEY BOTH ABUSE CHILDREN AND FUCK THEIR TINY BOTTOMS THEY BOTH ABUSE CHILDREN AND FUCK THEIR TINY BOTTOMS THEY BOTH ABUSE CHILDREN AND FUCK THEIR TINY BOTTOMS THEY BOTH ABUSE CHILDREN AND FUCK THEIR TINY BOTTOMS THEY BOTH ABUSE CHILDREN AND FUCK THEIR TINY BOTTOMS
What if they were fucking your childs innocent ass
NO ONE WANTS EITHER OF YOUR NASTY PENISES NEAR THEIR NO NO SPOTS! STOP THE ABUSE!
Oh jesus that is awful, I hate the way Akon sings and that song is a classic..it should not have been covered at all
this song sucks…akon is so annoying
I believe music is a matter of taste. I don't like this version and I don't like most of the music choices that Perez suggest. But then again, it's a matter of taste.
he's NOT a pedophile. it's obviously nowhere near the original, but i think it's still pretty good after all this time and what's been going on
FUCKING AWESOME! I'm impressed that the new mixes are actually turning out this good… Fuckin awesome.
I hate to admit it but I was really digging it, until Michael’s weak synthesized voice started whining. It sounded like his nuts were being squeezed in a vise and he couldn’t catch his breath? For you guys who have ever been kicked between the knees, it hurts real bad doesn’t it? When you don’t know where your next breath will come from or when or even if? Anyway; Michael should have just let others sing on the album and not ruined it by turning it into duets (pre-calculated dribble). It would have made for a better album if he hadn’t done so don’t you think? A tribute to ‘Thriller not so much an excuse to resurrect a comeback. But for the duet, I wouldn’t be typing I’d still be listening.
It's terrible..from the very start..
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!LMFA0000 THATS THE MOST STUPID PIECE OF SHIT SONG
I MEAN AKONS VERSION
MJS IS COO
CRAP, worst CRAP I have ever heard. If this is good I am not sure how that bad would sound like. How could MJ let anybody ruin one of his songs like this…the guy used to know good - from bad, in music anyway. OH LORD.
Sounds very good, but nothing like the original.
Wow…that was pretty good…NOT!
That song sucks my fat one!
MJ's a freak but his version is way better! If that song was free on itunes, I wouldn't even think about down loading it…it's just really stinkin' up the place here.
Only a fag like Perez would think a bucket o' buttchunks song like that is any good.
I can't watch MJ after all that's happened. I had a RL stalker who was a big fan of Akon.
This made me want to CRY. An incredible remake of the BEST song ever. Truly, "Wanna Be Starting Something" and "Push It" are the only two songs that make me stop absolutely whatever I'm doing, and start DANCING.
NASTY KID FUCKERS!
And I didn't even like it 25 years ago.
Re: dumbblack – DO U WISH U WERE BLACK?
HORRIFFIC!
And does anybody on this planet actually like Akon's voice??
this version sucks balls, what a piece of crap, the guy can't make any new material thats good enough anymore so he has to go and make a mess of the one good album he had? Talk about a joke! This song is horrible and i'm already sick of the lyrics sample that was used in the "please don't stop the music" song for Rianna
oo nice! i like this!
I have another version of Akon's take on this song… and it's CRAZY! Can't wait to hear the rest of this album!
first when mike didn't go to trial and people said he got away with jerking off a kid.. then when you get him into a trial with a scam artist mom/kid and can't convict him, he is still getting dogged.. so which one is it? innocent till proven guilty and then you are never innocent in this society. haters
Seriously perez, Akon is a fucking douch, he is the new pedophile of the next generation. why do you even talk about this loser. he makes some dumb sounds on a gwen track and suddenly he's cool. im looking forward to when he gets dropped by his label and he and ruben studdard can eat each other's pussies. Do me a favour and blog about better ppl. loves u
THAT SUCKED!
REALLY BAD!
I like the version Whitney did when she weighed 22 pounds, and was cracked outta her head that night
This has already been playing on the radio for like a month now…
That is the worst thing i've ever heard. Wow. Thumbs wayyyy down! I couldn't bare to finish hearing the song.
thanks Perez! itunes needs to cut you a check! I just bought it and it looks like I'm not the only one!
Mama se mama sa mama kusa! Love it! MJ used to be the shit! Why do people with so much talent have to turn crazy and deprive up of their awsomness? (Britney). I want to hear the rest! Give us some more songs!
that's just weaird,,ugggggg
That was ridiculously HOTTTT!!!!! The way they bring in the uptempo beat makes you get up and dance. I LOVE IT!!!
Dude…this song has been out in Canada for about 3 weeks on the radio…not really that new of a song…im sure most people have already heard it a thousand times.
The Girl Is Mine with Will. I. Am. is a lot better then this shit!
YOURe WAYYYYY late on this one fatty!!! my local vancouver radio station played this song about 5 days ago and ps this song IS NOT KILLER!!! ITS A HORRENDOUS DISGUSTING MONSTROCITY!!! i cant beleive anyone could possible find this enjoyable to any degree!!!!
far from killer …no thrill ..er i like the original …
this is old news perez
_______BLACKS SUPPORT CHILD MOLESTATION____
that may just be the worst thing i've ever heard in my life! I hate Akon and I LOVE some MJ, but right now my ears are bleeding
AKON SUCKS ASS! SO DOES THIS VERSION!
DUMB NEGROS,,, get a clue, Oj is a murderer, Mj is a CHILD MOLESTER,,,,,, & micheal Vick lost 113 million dollars for being a dumb black man,,,,,,, you people are straight retarded!!!
Nothing compare to Mr Jackson the King of Pop.
HIS VOICE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!!!
As a MAJOR "way back in the day when he was cute" MJ fan - I respectfully say WOW. The good kind of WOW. LOVE it.
FIRST!!!!
Why would you even give these kid fuckers any means to continue their abuse?
Re: MICHAEL ROCKS – HONESTLY I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF JACKO WACKO REALLY DID IT OR NOT , THE FACT THAT HE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING FREAK TO THE POINT THAT HIS FACE IS FALLING APART IS A GOOD SIGN THAT KARMA IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A BITCH AND NO MATTER WHAT SOMEONE LIKE JACKO WACKO
DOES KARMA WILL AND ALWAYS FOLLOW HIS PATHETIC PEDOPHILE ASS
i didn't think I would like it, but i do.
why does this song sound like "Please don't stop the music" at that one part ?
Ma ma se, ma ma sa….
wtf.
awful!!!!!!!!!!! akon is soo winey! does my head it. who ever thinks he can sing is out of their mind!
Rihanna Sampled the track
Wow
is a really great song!!
hahaha can't wait to listen to the other songs
im just going to imagine that michael is not a pedophile while i listen to it :]
Re: maryann – I can never give anyone looking like a TOTAL FREAK any respect , and don't even start with that BULLSHIT that this PEDOPHILE has a skin disease or something NONE SENSE like that
KARMA IS A BITCH AND IT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR BELOVED PEDOPHILE JACKO WACKO , SO SUCK IT , SUCK IT HARD BITCH
Re: n. –
rihanna has sampled the track on her new song
o wow
Why is AKORN famous again? He sucks.
Re: victoriaaaa – he is NOT a PEDOPHILE your FATHER is …
remember when your own father RAPED YOUR SORRY ASS and that's why you still DENY it until now???? and it made you such the DUMBASS that you are now
says the guy who thought ashlee simpson's new song was great too
I like how they're singing it an octave lower than the original. It gives a whole new twist to the song, making it brand new. I really like the sorta laid back calmness of this version as well.

Oh and btw, n:
Rhianna's song Please Don't Stop the Music sampled the original version of this song from the 80's. So technically, she sounds like this song.
he killed a classic :[
LOVES it!
Perez I love you but I am very disappointed this remix sucks Rihanna's sample is way HAWTER! Akon is way over rated!!!!
MJ LICKED MY PEE PEE

THE SMELL OF HOT LITTLE BOY
Re: Cartman –
I agree. As a voice coach, I'd work on getting rid of that annoying nasal twang he has. Horrible track. The original rocked.
You are WRONG when you say "Back in the day, he was one of the best musicians of all time".
In order for him to be one of the best musicians he would have to play an instrument, which he does not.
He might have BEEN one of the best PERFORMERS at one time, but he was NEVER a musician, let alone one of the best.
fuck that's brutal.
