Paris Jackson denies she believes impersonator appeared on posthumous Michael Jackson album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 1 March 2012
Remember all that speculation as to whether all the vocals on the posthumous Michael Jackson album ‘Michael’, which saw various producers complete unfinished MJ tracks, really came from the late king of pop?
Well, the pop star’s daughter Paris has been brought into that story, somewhat late in the day, thanks to a conversation she had with a friend in 2010, which for some reason was captured on video. In it Paris talks with said friend about one of the tracks on that album, ‘Hold My Hand’, and claims that not all the vocals are really her father’s, adding that Jackson impersonator Jason Malachi was brought in to fill the gaps.
According to TMZ, in the video Paris is asked why the vocals in that song sound different, to which she replies: “It’s not him [her father]. The whole album isn’t even him. Go online, go on YouTube and look up Jason Malachi. That’s him. I should know if it’s him [Michael Jackson] or not, because he would sing to me all the time”.
According to reports, a copy of the video conversation is being shopped around various media outlets. But Paris has already taken to Twitter to deny she believes there are fake vocals on her late father’s last record. She tweets: “People should know by now not to believe the media when it comes down to TMZ talking about my family. ‘Hold My Hand’ IS my dad actually singing”.
