Three songs by Michael Jackson are under debate because fans and even family members of the “King of Pop” assure that the works in question do not have the true voice of the idol.
According to information from portal TMZthe family of the interpreter of “Billie Jean” questioned the authenticity of the voice in the songs “Monster”, “Keep Your Head Up” and “Breaking News”.
These songs belong to Michael, the posthumous album published in 2010, which have already been removed from all streaming services.
On the subject, Billboard cited a statement from the Sony Music label, where it was mentioned that the removal of the songs will be to simplify the conversation about the tracks.
Despite the visible removal of the three songs, the company did not say anything about the possible presence of the use of voices other than Michael Jackson.
In 2014, a fan tried to file a class action lawsuit regarding the alleged inauthenticity of the vocals, claiming that the work did not belong to the singer.
The complaint was not accepted, because the ruling stipulated that the songs in question were not recorded by the administrators of Michael Jackson’s estate or by Sony.

The record company announced that thirteen years after the death of the “King of Pop”, they are working on his Broadway musical, the Michael Jackson-ONE show in Las Vegas and a campaign to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Thriller, the best-selling album of the whole story.
