Resurfaced Clip Shows Michael Jackson’s ‘Real Voice’, Forming Doubts About His High-Pitched Tone

King of Pop Michael Jackson was known for his unique high-pitched singing voice, as well as his soft and endearing way of speaking. However, a recently resurfaced video on social media is causing fans to doubt the authenticity of the iconic singer’s known voice.

There have been several rumors about his unique vocal styling, including testimony from Conrad Murray — the doctor accused of administering a fatal dose of painkillers to Michael. Conrad claimed the singer’s father, Joe Jackson, had him chemically castrated at 12 to “maintain his high-pitched voice.”

Friends claim Michael’s voice was an act

Although the rumors have never been confirmed, close friends of the late musician claim that his voice was carefully crafted for public perception. “His voice is as deep as s**t. It was between where you think Michael Jackson is and Prince. It was in between that,” rapper T-pain once said.

His good friends, Liza Minnelli and David Gest, also gave him away at one point when they said he had a “second voice.” When Liza first heard his voice, she recounted telling him, “Michael, you’re busted. I got you now. All these years, you’ve been talking in that voice.”

Michael’s other voice could have been a defense

Liza and David believed that his high-pitched voice was a means to protect his inner child due to years of pain. “He’s been hurt too much. I mean, people have said kind of rotten things about him. The person that we know is a rather regular guy, believe it or not,” Liza added.

In a resurfaced clip from MJ’s performance in Copenhagen in 1997, fans noticed he used a deep voice, which they found unusual. “Wow, makes him seem like a totally different person at that moment,” someone wrote.

Liza further said the pop legend would often slip into his normal voice when angry. “Somewhere in there, especially if you bring him bad news or if you make him mad, his voice gets very, very deep.” She recounted an instance where someone asked Michael about Gloria Allred, an attorney who once offended him, and he responded by saying, “She can go to hell,” in a “big, deep masculine voice.”
