I received my copy of the MICHAEL cd tonight in the mail. I have to tell you all...it is wonderful. <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P --> <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P --> I heard the leak songs and although hearing them got me intrigued and excited, they are nothing compared to listening to them one after another on the cd, multiple times, is like. And I have to say...it is all Michael, as far as I am concerned. OK, so he is sharing the stage on Breaking News and I know that is highly unusual in and of itself. But, the beat is catchy and the words are as what are described in the booklet, "Michael's life under a microscope....Michael's personal story." I don't know if Michael is behind its production, but it sure feels like it. <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) --> <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
No wonder the album is #1 in 8 countries. Michael....cool move, great album! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->

Breaking news, monster and keep your head up are sung by jason Malachi. Even a deaf, blind and retarded person could tell the difference between Michael's voice and any other persons.
People these days are so thick it boggles the mind.
Whatever floats your boat though.
Pathetic
Once you can provide proof that it isn't Michael, don't bash other people for their views on the album. The burden of proof lies on you, not anyone else. It also lies on all the people who claim it isn't Michael.
Whatever floats your boat though.
Pathetic

How do you know it is Jason Malachi? just because it was said by some people in facebook or my space? Michael always said "Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel"
I would never purchase this album because I know full well that it isn't the product that had been promised to the fans of Michael Jackson. They're making financial gain by ripping them off. I AGREE with you on that point.
Hold My Hand - Released 3 or 4 years ago and it barely features Michael Jackson. Not a stong opening to an album like DSTYGE, WBSS, Bad, Jam, Scream, BOTDF and Unbreakable were, either. It doesn't seem a like a song he would start an album with to me, IMO.
Hollywood Tonight - The beginning reminds me of Will You Be There with the orchestra and choir. This is one of the better song's on "Michael" and I do believe it's him, whether he wanted it released? Not sure.
Keep Your Head Up - I hear both Michael Jackson and different singer on this song. It's average at best and a pure album filler because they've been left with nothing better to work with.
(I Like) The Way You Love Me - Released 6 years-ago on the Ultimate Collection. No point in a second release of a song that he clearly deemed too below par to include on a project he cared about.
Monster - Over produced to a grotesque level, nor am I convinced that's him singing. I can also hear lyrical content from other Michael Jackson song's on previous albums.
Best of Joy - This is a dated and below par piece of work. I can't imagine he'd want this released. It's a pure album filler.
Breaking News - Not Michael Jackson. Again, grostesquely over produced. It sound's more like a tribute. Terrible.
(I Can't Make It) Another Day - Ruined by the heavy guitar and over production, lyrical content has again been stolen from other Michael Jackson song's, "We've Had Enough" in particular.
Behind The Mask - This was a apparently a song Mike covered for the Thriller album, but the person/band that originally wrote and produced this song weren't impressed and prevented it's release. I'm not convinced by that explanation, I think he DID create his own version of this song because he enjoyed it so much, he wanted to put his own twist on it, much like "A Place With No Name" but I'd be surprised if he ever intended to be used as an official release on a new album.
Much Too Soon - Exceptionally dated. Though it is beautiful, it doesn't sound finished and "perfect" to me.
That's my two cents.
You're right that it doesn't sound anything like MJ.
Sony can't use fake vocals legally and it's WAY more trouble then it's worth. Frankly, JM sounds more like MJ then BN does.
I says it's a hoax.
In my opinion, there are 10 tracks - 7 of which are really Michael Jackson. Doesn't that sound like it could really be the case? I mean, if he was going to try and trick us, wouldn't it make sense for him to have SEVEN of the songs really be him? Those 3 songs are clearly either not him, or he is manipulating his voice to sound different on purpose, which is my gut feeling. Because they are clearly different. Still good songs, but a different sounding voice nonetheless. Perhaps those 3 songs are a specific message. Very interesting lyrics and titles...
But I don't think this debate it's reason enough to boycott the album, because the rest of the songs are him for sure. Plus, if we believe Michael Jackson is alive, then we must also believe that he is behind the release of this album, right? If we want to believe that it's all Sony and their evil master plan...then we must also believe that Michael is dead. Because let's face it, even if MJ weren't dead and Sony were behind it, that wouldn't make sense because Michael would find a way to stop it - or at least find a way to warn us in a clear way. I'm just not ready to call Sony the bad guy when I think Michael is still with Sony and/or manipulating Sony in some way...Sony is necessary in this hoax, whether they know they're apart of it or not.

It's really great.
I especially appreciate Hold my hand, Keep your head up, Monster, Best of Joy, Another Day and Behind the mask...
I also got the real CD. There was a pre-sale at the official Sony store in my country! <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
When you have the album in your hands, I invite you to visit the thread I started today. Please, read my points and try to relate to them. I am collecting people's opinions - pros and cons. But please, read my points. <!-- s:oops: -->:oops:<!-- s:oops: -->

None of these songs are Jason Malachi, who may try to sound like MJ but his keys are flat and just cannot do it. Sounds more like Justin Timberlake, if you ask me. Here is an example....Please. What the heck is he doing anyway.

Some of you may be right in saying Michael wouldn't put this album out if it wasn't perfect. And I agree with you. But remember everyone....Michael is supposed to be DEAD! If he put out a perfect song or album, wouldn't more people than the 87% on TMZ's last poll, who said Michael faked his death, would think that Michael faked his death. Let's be real. This album is about controversy, hipe, is it or isn't it, sounds like, doesn't sound like, and as a result it's the top selling album all over the world. Now that sounds like Michael to me....through and through!
Anyway, I don't know how I got the cd early...it just arrived in the mail along with the t-shirt I pre-ordered. No tracking notice or anything, just BAM on my porch when I came home from work. I love it and although it may not be all Michael singing, it sure is Michael to me. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
that was VERY rude. If you can't be respectful then keep your onions to yourself. Seriously, no wonder Michael hasn't came back yet, his OWN FANS aren't spreading love to each other. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
EDIT: of course i did not mean keep your onions to yourself. apparently i misspelled opinions and my web browser thought i was typing onions and corrected me. <!-- s --><!-- s --> oopsie!
Yes!!
I say you are totally right. Come on. What's wrong with us? There are seven tracks undisputed Michael Jackson on this album. 3 others which are voice altered. Very obviously! I think sometimes were are too skeptical for our own good, I mean, what more do we want? The album to be called "Hoax" instead of "Michael"?
In regards to the Evil $ony theory, no Evil Genius does fakes this bad. As stated, Jason Malachi sounds more like MJ then these songs do, especially Breaking News. Dude. That's unrecognizable as MJ. If Evil $ony wanted to produce fake MJ tracks, why not hire someone who sounds like MJ?
I don't care how crappy the recording or how much its processed, there's no point in altering MJs voice so it doesn't sound like MJ. No point in that at all.
As a perfect example, the song 'I Like The Way You Love Me', preludes with MJ singing over the phone. Really crappy reception too. And it sounds like... MJ. So what's the problem with the Cascio tracks? The phone singing seems to have been given to us as a rough voice sample, right there, on the album!
I say, like you do jaci, that the Cascio tracks are altered on purpose to disguise MJs voice. And there's only one person who would A. think of that and b. have the guts to DO that, and that's an alive and well MJ calling the shots on this hoax album.
Now, as you also said, maybe Sony doesn't know what they are being used to do. Maybe they really did hire these voice experts, and since it really IS MJ, of course they were able to say they're authentic.
So maybe this is what the Cascios are doing to help MJ. They are the entity that sells these tracks to Sony as the "secret MJ tracks" at MJs direction from behind the scenes. Perhaps they are helping participate in this mini hoax within the hoax, otherwise I see little purpose for them. Why parade these people in the media otherwise? Like, what's their hoaxy purpose otherwise if not acting as agent between believed-dead-MJ and Sony? They didn't look super dooper thrilled about being on Oprah, they don't seem like the type to seek attention for fame.
I don't know, my thoughts are still scattered in regards to the Cascio connection, reason for it, and how it fits exactly. Lots of possibilities for this one.
But bottom line, there's no purpose for Sony to alter dead MJs voice to sound like someone else if you don't have super dedicated fan hearing, and no reason for Sony to include questionable tracks on a dead-MJ album, and if all else fails, there's no reason, frankly, not to use a better voice impersonator if it were a grand murder conspiracy.
These would have been the 3 songs that were recorded in that basement studio, not a professional recording studio. I think Michael wanted these 3 songs to sound different and recorded them that way on purpose. And who better to trust than the Cascio's, who have been friends with him for over 20 years and in all that time never betrayed his trust by going public with their friendship with him. I believe they were on Oprah with his go ahead, that much was obvious to me when I watched the interview and didn't feel for one second that this family actually LOST their close dear friend Michael.
Those 3 Cascio songs were specifically picked by Michael for the album - if Michael was really dead, Sony has a huge catalog of unreleased MJ songs that they could have chosen from, which would be undoubtedly Michael's voice to everyone, no questions asked.
But Michael wants questions asked - nothing gets attention like controversy. And nothing gets the mind activated more than questioning what's real and what's fake.

Not allowed to paste here, but its worth reading the letter Howard Weitzman wrote. Dont know if this letter is legit, though.
Thanks for posting this information mjthelegendlives. I did read the letter, and although I do not put all my trust in those lawyer dudes, I do trust the guys that have worked with MJ for 20+ years. If they say that it is MJ, I believe them.
I agree with the earlier post that this could be a wake-up call to all the non-believers. Whatever Michael has in mind, he is a true genius. He has gotten our attention for sure and the buzz is on. I truly think that more people saying don't buy it will cause more people to run out and buy it just because of the controversy of MICHAEL. <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
As for the voices, in the intro of the Breaking News lyrics there's written: "He would often disguise his voice as a journalist .." and in the intro of the Monster lyrics: "Michael actually recorded some of his background vocals through a PVC pipe..." I would say he's experimenting with voices... Just my opinion.
