Hopefully, "This Is [Not] It"

The first Michael Jackson posthumous single was released today. And there's a number of things wrong with this supposedly new track called "This Is It," according to Reuters.

Let's see...it was originally written back in 1983 as "I Never Heard" and co-written by Paul Anka, and it was intended for an album by Anka, who after having a falling out with Jackson, gave it away to an obscure Puetro Rican singer named Sa-Fire, who recorded it herself in 1991.

And, to top it all off, the song isn't even that good. The head pop critic of The New York Times said that the song "won't be on anyone's list of best Michael Jackson songs, even if it's a long list" and hoped there was something better in the Michael Jackson vaults of album outtakes. 

That's what's always stunning with celebrity deaths in America. We spend the three months after they pass away mourning them and wishing that they were still around to give us what we love just once last time or something. And then some rarity shows up and we all go, "I don't know, man. That shit was kinda dumb. What else we got?"

Also, I figured we should use an subpar photo of Michael Jackson from the early '80s to go along with his new subpar song from the early '80s. Bah-zing! Rude. So very rude.
