Music: We have a new Michael Jackson song. It goes like this.

  • Is This It? Yes, this is it. “This is it” is the single Michael Jackson was supposed to ride off into the sunset of a second wind of a career. That didn’t happen. Instead. It’s a painfully ironic statement of a guy who died before he had a chance to live the song’s statement of optimism. How about the song itself? It’s pretty good. It’s got an old-school MJ feel. It’s not even pretending to be a song released in 2009 (which suggests to us it wasn’t recorded recently). What do you think? Post your thoughts, kids. source
