Jaafar Jackson is related to controversial pop legend Michael Jackson; he is the son of Michael’s brother, Jermaine Jackson. Thus, Jaafar was ideally cast to play his uncle in the new smash biopic, Michael.<\/em><\/p>\n

The movie, despite a wide gap between the critics’ and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes<\/em><\/a> (audience loved it, critics not so much), rocketed to the top of the box office. According to Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>, the movie has become “a cultural event,” pulling in almost $40 million on April 24 alone, with its opening weekend haul projected at $95 to $100 million.<\/p>\n

That means a lot of fans are seeing the movie, and many of them have the same question: Was Jafaar Jackson really singing in the Michael <\/em>movie?<\/p>\n

Yes, Jaafar Jackson Did Really Sing in the Movie on His Uncle, Michael Jackson, But There’s a Catch<\/h2>\n

The answer is that, yes, Jaafar Jackson really did sing in the movie. But he wasn’t the only one. Michael’s own voice is also featured in the biopic.<\/p>\n

“When I was doing all the performances, I was actually singing out live in the microphone on top of Michael\u2019s track. So, it\u2019s a blend of my vocal and Michael\u2019s,\u201d Jaafar said on Today With Jenna & Sheinelle<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
