Black Eyed Peas front man, Will.i.am says he feels the new album "Michael" is disrespectful to Michael Jackson.
In a gần đây conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Will.i.am stated, "Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are ... He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful. There's no honoring."
His biggest issue with the project, it seems, is using unfinished MJ tracks. This is something he feels the King of Pop never would have stood for. "Michael Jackson songs are finished when Michael says they’re finished. Maybe if I never worked with him I wouldn’t have this perspective. He was very particular about how he wanted his vocals, the reverb he used... he was that hands-on."
However, it is worth noting here that Jackson himself did release unfinished tracks in the past on his 'Ultimate Collection' box set. The five disc set included many demos and unfinished tracks like 'Fall Again,' 'Beautiful Girl,' and 'Cheater.
Also, the album is being released bởi Sony and the Michael Jackson Estate so, Michael's children are the ones who will ultimately profit off the album.

A poem I dedicated to Michael .
I woke up one day, I found at bạn were gone
and now I'm sitting here listening to
this sad song.
When I look at the sky at night, I wonder
If I could see bạn one ngày in heaven, I can
Feel your presence seven days a week, you’re
In my dreams, they seem to be real until I wake up
And my tim, trái tim is hurting
Wherever bạn are, I feel bạn close no matter
How far hoặc how near
Why did bạn go? One ngày I will know,
bạn never đã đưa ý kiến goodbye,
There must be a reason why, that’s why I cry
I woke up one day, I found at bạn were gone
and now I'm sitting here listening to
this sad song.
When I look at the sky at night, I wonder
If I could see bạn one ngày in heaven, I can
Feel your presence seven days a week, you’re
In my dreams, they seem to be real until I wake up
And my tim, trái tim is hurting
Wherever bạn are, I feel bạn close no matter
How far hoặc how near
Why did bạn go? One ngày I will know,
bạn never đã đưa ý kiến goodbye,
There must be a reason why, that’s why I cry
