Talk:No Friend of Mine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
this song has become an overnight success!
[edit] Fake?
According to Raymone K. Bain, "Mr. Jackson has not recently released or recorded a single with Pras." While I agree that it sounds just like Michael Jackson, how can we know for sure that it isn't fake?
Some years ago I remember there was a French singer imitating Michael's voice on "Get Out of My Mind". Bab from the eo: wp
- Absolutely. An article here from a reliable source says that this song is not him. It is important that we phrase this article correctly- we shouldn't make judgement, but report what others have said. It has been played as Jackson's, and there are a lot of verifiable sources for that. To be quite honest, I am shocked that all of the radio stations are using the MySpace profile page of some tiny Dj as such a source. They could learn something from our policies...

- Quote: "Mr. Jackson has not recently released or recorded a single with Pras[.]" It might still be his voice, after all. He could have recorded his vocals in his private studio, and then sent them to Pras or whoever assembled the different tracks into one song... Perhaps we should wait till Bain clearly refutes that it is his voice, before making any conclusions. Bab from the eo: wp
- At mjjforum someone asks "P.S. Did he mention if Michael's vocals are recent or from Invincible sessions or something?"
- So, that's another option, which I think is closer to the truth. Note that Bain explicitly says "not recently released or recorded"... Bab from the eo: wp
[edit] Notability
I think the article does a decent job of establishing notability. Under music guidelines the mere fact that Pras and MJ (allegedly?) song vocals for it is probably enough along with the fact that it's been played on several well established radio stations (it's rather rare for something unreleased to be played I would guess?). However the article does mention it received press coverage but doesn't include any references. If this could be fixed the notability tag could probably be removed IMHO Nil Einne 13:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
