Well said and agreed.

As for people not hearing the fakeness, what can I say...most people can't even point out the bass line when listening to a song...

Like you, I've been a long time fan 1986, and a musician. Ain't no way they will fool me.

But I will support the album because Michael deserves to be on top. He is the kang, three fake songs or not.

I have been a fan since 1982,and that is NOT Michael.

It's like when you hear an artist on the radio,you don't have to have anyone tell you who it is,you just know who the voice belongs to. Same goes for when I heard Breaking News, there was an instant feeling,and knowing that it was not him.

I am still getting the album though,I want the songs that are actually Michael,and I want to ensure that there will be more releases in the future.

Hopefully Sony has learned that they can not fool the fans,and the other releases will be better orchestrated.

I support the opinions of Militant, NMuzakNSoul, and EmeraldSkies here, as they are mine as well.

Speaking as a fan since 1992 and a musician, that is not Michael. My apologies to anyone who doesn't agree. But we shall know the truth soon enough. If I'm wrong, I'll admit to it. But as of now...I'm 99% sure that's not him.

But....*squirms*....I'm gonna buy the album. I may hate Sony...but I love Michael. Ain't no way I'm gonna let him slip away from the number one spot.

The first of the Cascio tracks to be heard -- "Breaking News" -- obviously isn't a perfect realization of Jackson's abilities. Receiving the most critical attention are Jackson's vocals, the veracity of which even some family and fans are questioning. There are understandable reasons for this. This certainly isn't a "typical" Jackson recording: there weren't extensive warm ups with longtime vocal coach Seth Riggs, no layering and polishing by Jackson himself, no Bruce Swedien and world-class studio technology to capture the original vocal. This was a guide demo, supplemented by the supporting vocals of James Porte (for which he is credited), and produced nearly four years later by Teddy Riley.

But many of Michael's ad-libs and other sounds he makes are right in his main vocals, especially in his own demos. Also, you can't change your voice. Yeah, it will change as it gets older, but you will still sound like yourself. This is why I couldn't get down with that part of the article. It's not the song itself, I know that it's was completed w/o Michael there. Plus, Keep Your Head Up was the song in question, not Breaking News. Keep Your Head Up is a little harder to tell, but if it's raising doubt then I know that something's wrong.

I think Much Too Soon is a timeless classic

What a gorgeous , simple song......

I don't understand the contempt SONY are showing Michael's catalogue. It's pretty disgusting that they're putting out three questionable tracks in his name, tarnishing his discography in the process. There is no way in hell i will ever accept Breaking News as one of his. I've not heard the two, but i have my thoughts based on knowledgable folks round here.

I'll buy the legit songs and put them in their respective eras on Itunes. For example, i have 'Off The Wall' then 'Off The Wall era' and so on for all the albums. A year or so either way, i'm not fussy. 'Behind The Mask' will go into 'Thriller era', 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are' went into 'Dangerous Era'.

That's how i'm treating this shambolic 'Michael' album. It shouldn't be that way.

'If You Don't Love Me', 'Nite Line', 'Hot Street', 'Love Never Felt So Good', 'Xscape', 'Serious Effect', 'Men In Black' and dozens more.... all legit, all releasable, hardcore fans might have some of these but these are songs casual listeners probably don't. What a shame we get fake, amateurish tracks instead. It's a joke.

It's beautiful. Must have listened to it twenty times since i got it!

I need to hear this "Much Too Soon". Knowing YouTube it's probably there.

I´ve just watched the One More Chance video and I don´t get it. Do you think that this was the whole concept for it, just him singing to the audience in what looks like a restaurant or do you think these scenes were just a part of a bigger concept? I also find it weird that his miming doesn´t fit the music. Nice booty shots though.

Sony Failed to convince the open -minded fans that those wackass songs are his....There are many songs in the vault to chose from, There are dozens of tracks finished, why they didn't put " xscape" ,"blue gangsta" instead of " breaking news " and "monster "? I'm just wondering ....and put a great ballad instead of " keepin your head up"....................SONY Is A Mess.

Screen shots from "Vision" I wish someone would uploas "Another Part Of Me" from "Vision" on youtube..

SamSamba said:

BUT you have to keep in mind two things. First, and I already mentioned this earlier: these tracks weren't finished records that were recorded in a professional studio using only the best equipment, under the guidance of a top producer and engineer, or by a man who was at the top of his game mentally or physically.

See, I don't really buy this argument, because there are times when Mike is singing on home video footage.. such as Smile during Living With Michael Jackson, the court depositions where he busts out with Who Is It and The Girl Is Mine... he sounds nothing like these 3 questionable tracks.

Exactly. And how about in This Is It when he busts out an acapella version of Human Nature and sounds just like the record. Don't give me that "he wasn't at the top of his game" crap.

I haven´t gotten it yet, not even a message that it´s being sent to me.

Ahhh... thanks for the song. I love it already.

Musically and vocally "Much Too Soon" reminds me of "One Day in Your Life".

The Earth song part is the very end of the song. But i don't understand how fans don't get why they probably did that. MJ passed away and the song was unfinished so they have to finish it.

Unless you want Sony to not release anything which they could do. They could release material from 1982 or 1988 but why promote that heavily or release it to radio stations. Then fans would complain about that.

If you want MJ music where its released to radio where you can vote for the top 9 at 9 countdowns...LOL...then it has to be new. Not 1984 finished tracks.

Majority of the new stuff is unfinished but MJ sings enough on the track for it to be a MJ song

lolno They wouldn't have to cut and paste adlibs if they were using his vocals in the first place. Plus, the only people who want MJ's music to be featured in the top 10 is Sony. Fans just want the songs that weren't released.

Though as long as Mj is featured somewhere in there it's now considered a MJ song? Even if it's some cut and paste ad-libs?

Are you sure about that? Honestly it's the fans that are obsessed with Radio airplay and please go to my radio stations website and vote so MJ can get 1# on the top 9 at 9 countdown. Constantly observing Billboard hot 100 and r&b chart.

Labels only care about the sales. They can care less if MJ is 1# on jo jo top 9 at 9 on kissfm..lol

So basically you want unfinished demos that stop after 2 minutes? How on earth can you release that to radio. Like i said yesterday that type of release would have to be without singles, without radio release. Just something for the fans ith 2 minute DEMOS

Then fans would complain...How come its not on the radio? SONY SUCKS...No radio station is gonna play 2 minute demos. You got to complete the track

It was the only reason I suffered through the song to watch it. He filled out those pants quite nicely. Personally, even though I don't know what happened to him during the early 2000s and even though when he put on that weight he lost his neck, he sure as hell filled out those pants in all the right places.
