Konami secures Jackson 5 tracks for Karaoke Revolution photo

Konami has announced that not one, but five Jackson 5 songs will be featured in the upcoming Karaoke Revolution. While a host of Jackson 5 content has been licensed for the series, the songs "I’ll Be There," "ABC," "I Want You Back," "The Love You Save," and "Ben" will be available on the disc at launch, along with Jackson 5 themes and photos.

As Konami puts it, the content will be the “first karaoke game to feature licensed music of the Jackson 5 across all next-generation gaming consoles.” This is true, but it’s not the first music game to feature Jackson 5’s music; Rock Band Unplugged on the PlayStation Portable featured a master track of “ABC.”

Additionally, just about every music game this Fall -- some of which I wasn't supposed to talk about yet -- will also feature music by the Jackson 5. Except for The Beatles Rock Band, I’d imagine. But that’s not confirmed.

[Update: Our original story, based on information from Konami, had only two tracks appearing in the game. That is incorrect... it's a whopping five! The story has been updated accordingly.]

Michael Jacksons' untimely passing has been painful to millions, but since rumors persist that he will be buried without his brain and people are wondering, is Michael Jackson's body missing? Whether or not Michael Jackson's body is missing, no one knows, but the talk of the brain having been excised for testing, it's highly probable. In a post mortem examination when drugs are a likely candidate, the brain has to be taken out and examined after a cooling off period so drugs can be ruled out or confirmed as having caused his fatal heart attack. Many would give major payday loan companies to find if Michael Jackson's body is missing.

Oh, they licensed ABC? That's nice of them. I remember liking that song as well - back when it was in Karaoke Revolution Vol. 3 on PS2. Come on, is Konami somehow out of popular karaoke songs to put in their games?

Singstar Legends has "I want you back" by the Jackson 5... but the range is awfully high!

I knew it! Still I'm sure people would've want Michael Jackson: Guitar Hero or Rock Band. Also, is the Beatles: Rock Band a cash in as well?
