I've found more personal stuff about this guy Marcus...he is a real person and seems to be really into audio gear stuff and fascinated with Michael Jackson..<br /><br />He started singing when he was 9yo. Theres a blog he has posted on, and started topics...He has posted 75 times...He seems very curious about Michael Jacksons microphones used for This is It !!!<br /><br />Here is the blog: and he has covered MJ before his death. So, I do beLIEve he is a real person, but he does use alot of special effects on his microphone to sound more like Michael as you can plainly see by his questions on this blog...<br /><br />Gearslutz.com<br /><br />Gearslutz.com - View Profile: MarcusJoseph ..............This is all of his conversations.............<br /><br />The headset microphone MJ used during the This Is...<br /><br />The headset microphone MJ used during the This Is It rehearsals was actually a Shure WBH54B.

Let's face it - everyone wants to be Michael Jackson, and some are better at it than others! I don't have space in my brain anymore for this repeated sort of drama. :icon_lol:<br />
<br /><br />But this is so frustrating. I always thought Michael's voice unique and unmistakable. Now we have three cover of Michael. :Crash:<br />
<br />Our angel's voice is unique and unmistakable. And you know it. Because there's his heart behind that voice.<br />Oh, Michael, you are the best and you know it. Nobody will ever be like you!<br />

<br />Yep. This other guy's clearly an imitator, like so many others.
I understand Marcus and his love for MJ. I do not understand is that if you have to sing conditions and means to do so, because it makes its own style? Marcus who buy discs with songs of MJ? I do not! :michael_jackson-1135:
I have no interest at all in ever purchasing a soundalike's MJ music. Don't care if his voice is a dead ringer to MJ's. It's more to Michael's appeal than just the music. It's the total package. No one can ever measure up to that. Imitators and impersonators apparently come a dime a dozen. But the real deal, that's once in a lifetime.

<br /><br />that AWESOME Ballad is just keep rolling in my heart for a weeks now :bowdown: :bowdown:<br />and I kept analyzing on WHY?? this Marcus dude is claiming the spot of Obviously MJ-ish state of heart on this lyrics(yes, it was said to be pinned by someonelse , a young lady) BUT it was also said that this song is out take from Invincible :icon_e_surprised:<br /><br />and NO Way Marcus can collaborate 10!!! years ago for that production, nevertheless to say can be SOO worn out by public scene (if we judge from the lyrics) bEFORE even get there :icon_e_geek: <br /><br /><br />I just wanted to share with you my latest feelings for that ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SONG and then, all what I found from the researches just seems fit conception of perpetual blessing from Michael's genius mind and heart , and I admire him so very much....<br /><br /><br /><br />Michael Jackson - Belong 2 (snippet)<br /><br />Michael Jackson - Belong 2 (snippet) - YouTube<br /><br />Published on Apr 27, 2012 by MMJS0NYY<br />New demo 2012 song<br /><br />(first version: Bad album session, this version is an Invicible Outake)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Michael Jackson - The Tides Will Turn [NEW SONG] 2012 - YouTube<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_(production_team)<br /><br /><br />Element (production team)<br />From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br /><br /><br />Element<br />Origin Oslo, Norway<br />Genres soul, hip hop, pop<br />Occupations Producing<br />Years active 2009-present :icon_exclaim:<br />Website elementmusicworld.com<br />Members<br />Hitesh Ceon<br />Kim Ofstad<br />Element (stylized as ELEMENT) is a Norwegian record production and songwriting team, consisting of Hitesh Ceon and Kim Ofstad. Some of the latest productions of the team include two songs for U.K. X-Factor-winner Alexandra Burke, "Dangerous" and "Bury Me (6 Feet Under)", as well as Michael Jackson's "I Want You Back"(ELEMENT Remix),[1] and a remix of Michael Jackson's "Skywriter"(Stargate Remix) which they produced together withStargate.[2][3]<br />Element has produced the song "Yes" for Musiq Soulchild, the second official single from Musiq's album MusiqInTheMagiq, as well as two other songs on the album, "Lovecontract" and "Clumsylove".[4]<br />Element has produced the song "It's Ok" for Cee Lo Green. The song is the second official single from Cee-Lo Green's album "The Lady Killer" and is written by Hitesh Ceon, Kim Ofstad, Cee Lo Green and Noel Fisher.[5][6]<br />Element has produced and co-written the song "Glow" for Madcon. An 7:30 minute long version of the song was performed in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, during the interval before the voting. While the song was playing many flash-mobs around Europe were dancing a choreographed dance to the song and Madcon performed in the Telenor Arena where the contest was held.[7] The song was released on iTunes the same day, and has reached Nr.1 in Norway and Germany, Nr. 2 in Spain and top 10 in 10 other countries. It has sold 10 times platinum in Norway and over 300.000 copies in Germany.[8][9]<br />Element was earlier known as 3Elementz, then a 3 member team, including bass-player Jonny Sjo. Their productions include Madcon's "Beggin'" which went to become 8x Platinum in Norway, before reaching top position on the hit lists in many European countries, and reaching number 2 position on the Billboard European chart.[10][11]<br />[edit]References<br /><br /><br />Element is ELUSIVELY produce TWT Marcus song== yet its NO word about that in Wiki??<br />

<br /><br />
BUT it was also said that this song is out take from Invincible <br /><br />and NO Way Marcus can collaborate 10!!! years ago for that production,
:icon_e_geek: good research & good point!<br /><br />Although, I like the song & the lyrics, I have my doubts whether it is MJ or not because I realize music tech stuff can make soundalike voices similar to MJ's voice.... anyways, inspite of the speculations whether it is/or isn't Michael's voice on the "Michael" album, I listen to it a lot.<br /><br />L.O.V.E.<br /><br />
Sounds like MJ + autotune for me. Still think it's him.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Love the packaging. Awesome. If it's not MJ how do they use his image? I tend to think it's him. Sounds more like him than a couple of those Michael tracks.
<br />Here we go again ...... :Pulling_hair:<br /><br />How many times did we have to compare Michael's voice with some other singers??? I guess I am getting used to it now. Is it Michael? No, it's not him. Yes, it's him! No way, listen carefully..... and so and so on ! ! This never happened before June 25th, 2009. Now suddenly so many singers sound like Michael Jackson! Is this a coincidence or is it intended ?? I just don't know anymore :Pulling_hair:<br />
<br /><br />UNFORTUNATELY it is intended Diggyon.... Whoever it is oviously has no originality<br />about them. Pretty sad to say and they need to PICK A DIFFERENT HOBBY because<br />as an artist if your not original your nothing!!!! So LAME to me.... Who wants to sound/be like<br />someone else???? Pretty sad if you ask me!!
This guy is talking about releasing an album with some MJ songs. Didn't think anyone could do that without permission from the copyright owner which in this case would either be MJ himself or the estate.

<br /><br />I agree 200/100, me too I am tired of all this...<br /><br />Thémis
Have you listen the Remix from Marcus J. Williams: />From 13.30 he has the own lyrics to Keep the faith, combo to this is it :icon_mrgreen: Oookay...<br />I think, maybe there are 2 singers in his songs? Sometimes you can hear the norweigian accent clearly and sometimes it sounds just like MJ -i think it is made for purpose to confuse us all.<br />I also have wondered is it coinsidence or not that O'bee and this Marcus J. are both norweigian guys. Well, a greatest show on earth indeed :icon_bounce:
