Will.I.Am Stands Against New MJ Album

By Elis T. Ortiz

There is no doubt that the undeniable King of Pop Michael Jackson will continue to delight worldwide audiences with his infectious music, well beyond his untimely death. In the movie "This Is It," we all got to feel a little closer to Michael and witness parts of why he was king. No solamente era talentoso, but he knew his craft inside and out, creating his art with a steadfast work ethic.

It’s this perfectionism that has Will.I.Am protesting the release of a new Michael Jackson album in which he will have no creative control. De acuerdo al integrante de los Black Eyed Peas, who actually collaborated with Michael in 2008, the late pop superstar would never have released any track that he didn’t feel was perfect.

When asked about the high demand from Michael’s fans to hear more from the artist, Will.I.Am responded, “So what? You don’t disrespect someone when they’re gone. … How much can you suck from his energy? … Freaking parasites!”

Michael’s brothers Jackie and Marlon are said to be working on the album with a projected release by end of this year, but no comment from the Jacksons has yet to reach the press on Will.I.Am’s opposition.

Queda en claro que Will.I.Am feels strongly that this album should never be heard.
