New Michael Jackson (Feat. Kanye West) - "Billie Jean '08"
After listening to this you might think, well isn't this more a "remix" rather than a 'newly updated song' as the 25th Anniversary Thriller boxset would have you believe? There's three ways to establish you'd be wrong, shamon: 1) That's clearly Kanye's voice saying "yeah! uh!" at :23 seconds (after an intro of straight pre-chorus no less); 2) that's clearly Kanye's beat du jour underpinning the track (ala "Stronger"); and 3) it clearly says "'08" in the title. And that's about it. Enjoy!
In even more depressing MJ news ... his nose collapsed after playing with his son. That can't be a pretty sight, so we have absolutely no interest in showing you pictures of what said incident looked like. Instead, we'll show you photos of Michael shortly after visiting the doc for emergency rhinoplasty.

OK! We would never leave you on that tragic note, of course, so let's pick up the pieces a little. How about with good tidings of the Rhymefest/Mark Ronson MJ tribute mixtape Man In The Mirror? Details here, and have a listen of "Never Can Say Goodbye" (featuring Talib Kweli) at RhymeSpace. And while we're talking Ronson, here's some recently excavated vid of Jimmy Fallon, Jack Black, and Mark Ronson on bass doing "Do They Know It's Christmas" @ Roseland in 2002.
See, happy fun times. This holiday season let us all give thanks that we too don't have tenderized, soggy bone structure due to a lifetime's incurable addiction to plastic surgery.

Doesn't he still swear he didn't have plastic surgery? Either way, this is just like that south park episode.

Did anybody else notice the sign that reads "weird" that MJ is walking past in the second photograph?

I vote for this being the worse post of the year.
Kayne is terrible... worse than P (whatever) Daddy... Uh Yeah and a overdubbed beat? Really? Anyone can do that! And I hated Uh huh, Yeah... for the Godzilla Come with me crap...
Jimmy Fallon... NOT FUNNY, NOT ADAM SANDLER... no matter how hard you try. Jack Black, what the hell man?
Score = -1
I have a lot of respect for Kanye's oeuvre, but this is weak.
If it took more than five minutes to download some drum samples and fruityloops them onto the track, then, figuratively speaking, and to the extent that I truly care about this, I'd be impressed.
Score = 0
The pics scared me.
Score = 0
I'm here to defend kanye. There is no way in hell he is worse than p diddy. listen to "gone" and "the glory" and you will simply agree
Score = 0
@Angelo
Um, being "NOT FUNNY" kind of does make him Adam Sandler.
The remix is terrible. I really liked the original, too.
Score = 0
Seriously, why would Michael go to Barnes & Nobles with a taped up face to pick up something to read? Can't believe everybody's posting this like it's actually him.
Score = 0
this shit was whack.. kanye west is a cocky bastardo... and micheal ... he's just a big creepo.. his son is gonna be a head case.
Score = 0
I love it, for the simple fact that it's not a Timbaland beat...
Score = 0
Well it is always amazing how people are so fast to judge.
even more amazing how people actually think they are in a position to critisize things they can never even get close too.
Fruity loops?
Yes, sure, Kanye west downloaded some drums from piratebay andthen he smoked som crack and played around with the beats.
I agree on the facts that it is not the best remake of a song.. still, I love the song and the voice.
Always king of pop.
Score = -1
This is Michael, i recognise the shape of his face...and i know why he dress up like that, it's because he wants to go out like all of us but he can't because he's too famous ... papparazi and fans are everywhere, and all he wanted is to shops like other people without any disturbance, people say he's weird, but i don't think so, he is guiness, anyone doubt that? Guess who create those briliant moves in dance now days..? And who tried hard to heal the world and do deeds so many times in his life, and brings wonderfull rythem into our lives...? I think you all have the answer, he's a good man. That's what i saw inside and outside of Michael.
