Not really, but that’s the way it sounds. Akon joined forces with pop legend Michael Jackson in a song titled “Hold My Hand.” The song will be released on Akon’s third album, which at this point is untitled. Akon told MTV News that working with MJ was, “A dream come true.” He also went on to say:
“Just to be in the same room, I felt everything I wanted to accomplish in life has been achieved,” Akon said. “That aura … that’s how incredible that aura is. We about to shake the world up, man. You know how you be with somebody and you can’t even explain? I used to sit and think, ‘How does somebody sell so many records and dominate a whole business genre to a point nobody can’t be a part of that without associating with you?’ The way he thinks … some artists think regional, some think national, I was thinking international. He thinks planets. It’s on another level.”
We are not insinuating anything, but given Jackson’s past we are getting a giggle out of this. With lyrics like: “We’re better off being together than being miserable alone” and “Nothing can come between us if you just hold my hand,” can you blame us? Both entertainers have a questionable past when it comes to underage sexual acts, so if they are holding hands at least they’re both of age. We’re just playing, but they could have come up with a better title.

This MJ bashing thing is all played out. It’s embarrasing now. MJ’s contribution to music and entertainment is undeniable. Most artists nowadays are copying him. So, the media needs to just stop all this childish hating of Michael Jackson and let the man do what he does best in peace, which is making music. Go MJ!!

Good Day, I fell lucky that I located this post while browsing for akon songs. I am with you on the topic of el Jackson and Akon Holding Hands – randomgossip.com. Ironically, I was just putting a lot of thought into this last Sunday.
