Just when we thought nobody out there would ever sound like Michael Jackson....along comes Jason Malachi: http://www.myspace.com/jasonmalachi Listen to "Don't Walk Away". Dead ringer for MJ. This guy won't go anywhere trying so hard to be someone else.
I listened to all the songs and he sounds like a mix of MJ, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo and probably other various R&B singers. To be sort of fair, there are lots of artists out there that sound a like. *shrugs* "Don't Walk Away" sounds the most like MJ though. The beats are hot but that is all that is appealing. Thumbs down.
I'm not trying to be whatever, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I don't think it's right just to start a thread about an upcoming artist just because he may sound a little bit like another artist that just recently passed away. Please, don't take what I said the wrong way or out of context. I've seen similar threads here over the years where n00bs come in and are like "Well, this band just SUCKS!" and it gets closed or deleted immediately. Though, for the record, he is pretty bad. No one in that genre of music can compare to Michael Jackson. Ever.
