It was incorrectly reported that Sony Music had conceded that the three songs "Breaking News", "Keep Your Head Up" and "Monster" were indeed performed by an impersonator, Jason Malachi, and not Jackson.
[3] On December 10, 2010, the song was officially released on the posthumous album Michael, and two original demo versions leaked online in 2015.
[5] Greg Kot from the Chicago Tribune said the song picked up "an unfortunate theme in Jackson's latter-day work as the oppressed media victim".
[10] In a statement, Sony Music Group countered that it had "complete confidence in the results of our extensive research, as well as the accounts of those who were in the studio with Michael, that the vocals on the new album are his own".
[12] On January 16, 2011, a statement appeared on Malachi's Facebook page noting he was the vocalist of the songs in question, calling it his "confession".
Malachi's manager Thad Nauden later that day told TMZ that "someone created a phony Facebook page in Jason's name.
[16] However, the next day, Zia Modabber of Sony Music's law firm, Katten Muchin Rosenman, recanted these reports, stating that "no one has conceded that Michael Jackson did not sing on the songs".
