Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
TMZ is reporting that some members of the Jackson family are skeptical of the songs featured on the newest Michael Jackson album.
The gossip site says that the family thinks the singing doesn’t sound like Michael’s voice. Mom Katharine Jackson is scheduled to appear on Oprah Monday, but it’s not known whether or not she’ll address the album controversy.
Paparazzi recently caught up to LaToya Jackson to get her take on the situation. The singer/actress was very quiet and polite as she climbed into a taxi, telling the paps “I listened to it…It doesn’t sound like him.” LaToya was referring to the “Breaking News” single, recently released by Sony as a teaser for the upcoming album.
View TMZ’s video of LaToya’s comments, then listen to the song for yourself to decide what you think.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Videos,

On last night's SNL broadcast, the singer helped provide one of the few bright spots of the evening -- a reunion with "Shy Ronnie." After checking out the "Ronnie and Clyde" sketch above, you can rewatch their first digital short after the jump.
