Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008 is the second single to come shelving off Michael Jackson's catalog album Thriller 25. Akon was called on by Wil.I.Am to help give the original piece a new spin.
Although I will admit Akon has come up with a decent melody, his superseding vocals makes you scratch your head and wonder if if he's the guest star. I believe he should of used the 2008 demo and mixed it in with the official. While giving much more breathing space.(of course non of this remixes contain new vocals).
Now tell me what you think of his reinterpretation? There is no right or wrong answer.
