Paul Anka... a word

This is long overdue and probably unnecessary, given that many probably expressed this sentiment months ago, but here goes... GET OVER YOURSELF!!!

MJ was not a thief and he sure as $h*t didn't steal your song. Maybe he borrowed your melodies, but hell, no one else was using them. I have yet to read or hear anyone taking up for Safire's 'interpretation' of your 'genius work' like people did when The Rolling Stones 'borrowed' k.d. lang's Constant Craving.

This is It is not The Lady in My Life. Or Rock With You. Or Human Nature. Or PYT. It's sure as $h*t ain't no Man in the Mirror - now, that's a song worth stealing writing credit for. But MJ didn't do that back then, so why the fcuk would you act like he did that to you? Given that he took back his vocal performance of your original composition, he could do whatever he wanted with it. What occured to him was to never let the recording see the light of day, which would explain why he absconded with the track. Judging your opportunitistic, over-inflated ego-having @$$, he was right to do so. I can totally imagine you using his vocal to sell the original song, which was crap!

His brothers recorded backup vocals. His estate released the song. They didn't do this with MJ's consent, so why pitch a fit about it? And, @$$hole, by showing your natural behind the way you did, I bet that the demand for downloads of this song dropped significantly because MJ fans don't want to line douchebags' pockets.

It's too bad you didn't have it within you to conduct yourself with grace and deference months back, because Lenny Kravitz completely showed your @$$ up. A leak of a vocal performance by MJ was leaked this week, written by Lenny Kravitz and the instrumentation was performed by Lenny Kravitz. Did he accuse the Jackson estate of pulling a fast one? No. He just specified that he wasn't behind the leak and that he hopes that a cleaned up, professional sounding version will see the light of day... someday.

No angling on his part.

No whiff of passive aggressive bitchery in his tone.

Just respect and calm.

And guess what? FANS WANT TO GET THEIR HANDS ON THE KRAVITZ/MJ track.

Next time, know when to STFU.

And @$$hole... don't think that every music fan buys the pantload delivered from TMZ or Inside Edition!
