Question by Debra D: Is It Fair To Release Michael Jackson’s songs after his death?
Michael Jackson’s song A Place with No Name is going to be released. It’s not known when the song was recorded. There is no firm estimate of unreleased songs from the King of Pop. Sony Music chairman and CEO Tommy Mottola had this to say:
“There were so many recordings, and so many of them were great,” he said. “It doesn’t mean these unreleased songs were any less great; it just happened to be the other songs that were picked.”
Michael said in the interview with Oprah in 1993 he’s a perfectionist and never satisfied with his work. He told Martin Bashir (who should rot in hell) that for every song he records he writes 100 more. Is it fair to Michael that songs he wrote and recorded are being released now, especially by Tommy Mottola who Michael referred to as the devil. If Michael was a perfectionist maybe all those songs never met his standards for himself or his fans and he may not have wanted them ever to be released. I know the family has made a deal with SONY for the sake of the kids and their future estate but do you think it’s wrong to release songs? I think the fact that Michael didn’t plan on introducing any new songs at his This Is It concert if he had lived proves to me he never wanted them released or he would have planned on singing them at the concerts in London.
What are your thoughts on this? Pedophile and insulting comments will be reported. The man deserves respect for his music and other comments aren’t about this question.

I think it’s fair for the fans to hear them an get an unseen glimpse of his genius but I agree that Sony should not be allowed to make money from something Michael himself was not prepared to put on the shelves.
Remember that Michael had previously released demos before in the special edition of “Off The Wall”, “Thriller”, “Bad” and “Dangerous” albums. In the “Ultimate Michael Jackson” there are also several demos that Michael was obviously comfortable with releasing. Songs like “Streetwalker” were favoured by Michael but still didn’t make it onto the album, so I think it’s brilliant that we still get to hear them. It would be a waste to through away all that creativity, time and effort when Michael is no longer here to give us more. ☼
They did with Tupac’s music.
No its not okay. If Michael would have wanted those song released, he wouls have released them himself. They just releasing them to make $ $ $ $ .
This is why I dont plan on buying the new album!
