Damn Akon just put Michael Jackson on blast with this ish right here. Guess fans won’t have to be wondering how Mike is keeping up with the dance moves and not running out of breath.

AKON has disappointed scores of fans who have splashed out on tickets for MICHAEL JACKSON’s comeback concerts by insisting the King of Pop won’t be singing live.
The R&B star, who has previously collaborated with the Thriller hitmaker, admits Jackson won’t be showing off his vocals during This Is It, his upcoming seven-month London residency, and will instead rely on a pre-recorded track.
He says, “Michael singing I’m not so sure about. He will perform but not sing.”
But Akon maintains audiences at the British capital’s O2 Arena will still be thrilled by the spectacular show Jackson is planning: “It’s going to be amazing, I can definitely tell you that. I’m going to have front row tickets. I will have the best tickets in the house and will be so close to the stage you will think that I am on it.”
Jackson is scheduled to kick off This Is It in July (09).

This tour really needs to end before it begins. He can’t dance, he can’t sing, what the hell is he going to be doing?

Why would Akon even say something like that about Michael? Michael’s concert sold out within the first hour of them selling tickets. Why does Akon even care is he gonna be there or something?

Why the hell couldn’t he keep his mouth shut. I’m sure die hard Michael fans won’t care much, but still. Shut up Akon! Damn!

He’s trying to make money like anyone else out here. Michael was once very talented – so we are not sure what he is going to bring until he brings it. Why would you say he can’t dance?

Why is this news? Most entertainers who give very high-energy performances are lip-synching during the more uptempo cuts, and then cut to live during the ballads. Audiences don’t care as long as it’s a good show.

Akon is wrong for his thinly veiled Hater comments, but as long as MJ gives the people what they came for it won’t matter.

Akon is just a dumb*****, a real jerk and talentless with an horrible nosy voice and a poor flow.
I don’t even know how he made it that big this far.
His music is bull***** and he has no charisma on stage.
Haven’t you noticed guyz that ever since he did the THRILLER remix (which btw is the m*****acre of a masterpiece like Thriller), everytime he makes a statement or he releases an album he talks abt MJ.
It’s like now to get the media attention he puts the name of Michael Jackson in every conversations or statements.
I can’t stand Akon and still don’t know why MJ collaborated with that stupid *****.

Just get down on the floor and do some push-ups, while you’re down there, try singing a song. Then you’ll know how much lip sync is needed for strenuous shows.
