Michael Jackson’s ‘real voice’ after being ‘exposed’ for faking iconic high-pitched tone

Recent revelations suggest Michael Jackson’s high-pitched voice might have been part of a carefully crafted public persona. Speculations about chemical castration by his father Joe Jackson surfaced, but there’s no concrete evidence. A resurfaced video shows Jackson using a deeper, more masculine voice during a 1997 performance in Copenhagen.

Rapper T-Pain recalled Jackson’s voice as “deep as [expletive].” Friends Liza Minnelli and David Gest claimed Jackson had a second, deeper voice, implying a public facade. Journalist Diane Dimond noted Jackson’s voice deepening when angered. Despite rumors, those close to him suggest the high-pitched voice was a protective shield against years of public scrutiny and hurt.
