New Michael Jackson single: Is it good?

Michael Jackson song unveiled

A new Michael Jackson single has been revealed, called This Is It.

The title is the same as was going to be used for his London concerts, and the video that goes with the song has been made filming of the rehearsals for those shows.

So is the tune - which also features his brothers on backing vocals - any good?

Does it live up to his former hits, or should the people behind it have left it unheard?

Unfortunately this topic is now closed but there are Comments pages on other subjects on the main Chat index.

"I love Michael Jackson. This song is great! All of his songs are great!!!"

Jeanne, 13, USA

"I heard it and loved it! I think it shows off his voice well and is a very classic one so a lot of heart goes to this!!"

Caroline, 11, England

"The song is beautiful."

Amy, 12, England

"I think his new song is really good!! I'm a big fan of his and I don't really care if the song was written in the 80s. He must have recorded it recently because his voice sounds different, in a good way, like it's matured."

Sophia, 12, Northamptonshire, England

"I'm a big Michael Jackson fan, this song's really good. I don't think it's a match to the old classics like Billie Jean and Man in the Mirror which were pure genius. But this single is still amazing!"

Ron, 13, Lincoln, England

"I think it's fantastic because it's a chilled out song."

TC, 11, Manchester, England

"I love it! It has got the classic MJ sound. It's like he is still here!!"

Shana, 12, East Sussex, England

"The song beautiful and his voice is amazing."

Amy, 13, England

"Honestly? I don't like the song. You can tell it hadn't been finished completely with the rather thin backing. Sony are just try to squeeze any money they can out of Michael Jackson, even after he's passed! Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of MJ's music, it's just this song doesn't thrill me."

Lucy, 12, England

"Michael Jackson is a musical genius. His songs like Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, Thriller, The Way You Make Me Feel and now This Is It!!! The movie will be amazing. I am sad he is dead!!"

Joseph, 11, Brighton, England

"I think MJ's new song is great! Though it isn't new it was recorded in the 90s. The song feels like it explains his feelings about how some people don't like him or understand him. It's an emotional but amazing song! His movie is looking interesting to. RIP Michael. You will be King of Pop for ever and you will be here for ever!"

Ara, 11, Edinburgh, Scotland

"I LOVE this song. I love the King of Pop and always will!"

Sandra, 11, Scotland

"I'm in hospital right now. I've always loved Michael Jackson. I don't care what some people say about him to me he's my favourite singer! I am addicted to his voice. May he rest in peace. This song is beautiful."

Afsana, 14, Birmingham, England

"AMAZING! It will make the charts no doubt and I agree with Abbie it will be a hit! You'd have to be idiotic to say you don't like it, it will blow away all these rubbish songs today! RIP Michael."

Lizzie, 12, London, England

"Michael has amazed me again, I think it is one of his best."

Dylan, 11, County Wexford, Ireland

Aurelie, 11, London, England

"It's alright but you can't get any better than Thriller, it was the best. The only reason that everyone is psyched up about it is because is because he's dead. The song is alright but I'm not going to buy the single."
