Michael Jackson

The songs are 'Breaking News', 'Monster' and 'Keep Your Head Up' that appeared on his 2010 album a year after his death.

On its release in December 2010, Michael was billed as containing unreleased songs that were “recently completed using music from the original vocal tracks and music created by the credited producers.” Sony and Jackson’s estate added that the seven other tracks on Michael would remain available. Three Michael Jackson songs have been removed from streaming sites following longstanding claims that they are sung by someone else, Sony and the late singer’s estate said Wednesday.

No matter the generational differences between music fans, one thing that is rarely disputed is Michael Jackson's place and influence in music.

Patten believes the estate’s quiet removal of the songs is a clear sign that their provenance is questionable at best. Sony and the estate say their claims that Jackson sang the songs constitute protected free speech. Sony and the estate appealed the decision in 2018, citing California’s strong anti-SLAPP statutes aimed at preventing frivolous lawsuits that stifle free speech.

“I should point out that the removal of these three songs has nothing to do with their authenticity,” a spokesperson for the site explained. A judge eventually ruled in 2018 that neither party could prove exactly who the voices actually belonged to, subsequently making Sony nor the estate not liable. Added Sony Music and Jackson’s estate in a statement, “Nothing should be read into this action concerning the authenticity of the tracks—it is just time to move beyond the distraction surrounding them.”
