I hear Bieber's getting Jackson'ed as well.

hurdboy: Well, as for number one, he was German. Sorta.

got me to suck water down the wrong tube. well done.


TFA: actually this was kind of an interesting read overall. there's not tons of proof behind this stuff but like really GOOD conspiracy theories the presented information adds up really well, especially when taken by itself.

SnakeMan: The high voice was phony. This article is full of FAIL.

so you're saying that around the house he sounded like barry white?

i knew a guy who could do a spot-on michael voice who sported a pretty bassy baritone speaking voice. it was, needless to say, freaky to listen to.

/he searched for years for two other guys he could form a beegees parody-tribute band with.

The high voice was something he did on purpose. He didn't talk like that normally off mic.

I remember people saying that the This is It concerts were going to be fake, because when he announced them his voice at the announcement ceremony sounded deeper than people expected. No... he just didn't do his fake high voice that time.

Like all Cracked articles, under-researched and BS.

SnakeMan: The high voice was phony. This article is full of FAIL.

Wouldn't say it was "phony", per se. He just chose to speak that way. But he definitely wasn't chemically castrated.

He used his real voice at the James Brown funeral:

Kazaa: Wouldn't say it was "phony", per se. He just chose to speak that way.

It was a stylistic affectation that served him well.

/trufax: Vince Neil does the same thing, singing in his head voice all the time
//Vince Neil couldn't do it very well live until very very recently, though

I gotta say, his voice is rather high.

Clicked for the Michael Jackson, regrettably stayed for the Hitler poop fetish.

But Vince Neil doesn't talk like that, he just sings like that.

Dat dun sound no black man voice.

/schamon!

Mike Chewbacca: But Vince Neil doesn't talk like that, he just sings like that.

Correct. It is, nonetheless, a stylistic affectation. MJ just committed to it harder than Vince does.

Kurt Cobain's last words...

"Courtney put down that"

List fails right off the bat. Quincy Jones once said in an interview that Michael Jackson didn't really sound like that. When he called him on the phone he sounded like a different person. The voice was just part of the act, I suppose. Not even going to bother reading the rest of that bullshiat Cracked nonsense. For those of you that think it's weird for him to have a public voice and a personal voice; you don't know much about the entertainment industry or kayfabe.

If you have ever seen the "This Is It" dvd Michael explained that he would talk in the higher pitched voice before shows or when on tour to save his vocal chords.

He was scared by Koko's ghost. Duh.

/black and decker

there their theyre: If you have ever seen the "This Is It" dvd Michael explained that he would talk in the higher pitched voice before shows or when on tour to save his vocal chords.


Yeah, I bet it has nothing to do with trying to sound more like a kid, to feed his Peter Pan delusions and sound infantile and innocent to the parents of the kids he wanted to feel up.

I'm calling shenanigans on the Michael Jackson theory. I saw an interview with him where had five o'clock shadow...and it was after the whitening and the surgery, so goddamn it looked weird.

Yeah, the Hitler bit started with "Freudian psychology states..." which means it's bullshiat pulled off the top of someone's head. Freudian analysis has the same relationship to real psychiatry that Evolutionary Psychology has to real psychology. It's speculative nonsense which pulls upon the best intuition we can muster, which in Freud's case was kind of an empty set.

Perhaps, but he also said he didn't fark kids,.

...or share a bed with Corey Feldman when you were a kid?

Why yes. Yes I did.

Poor Elvis' toilet.....

Most people who drop Freud's name when talking about psychology have not read Freud.

Just saying

A fecalpheliac is somebody who's obsessed with mookie stinks. Mmkay?

The correct term is coprophiliac.
