Michael - The Great Album Debate

The statement:

Hello Greg,

Great to be introduced to you. Chuck from the MJ Online team here.

In response to your question, I can confirm that the three Cascio tracks on the 2010 album Michael are no longer being made available by Sony Music for purchase or streaming but I should point out that the removal of these three songs has nothing to do with their authenticity. The Estate and Sony Music believe the continuing conversation about the tracks is distracting the fan community and casual Michael Jackson listeners from focusing their attention where it should be - on Michael’s legendary and deep music catalog.

The fans have so much to celebrate in 2022 and beyond with regards to the vibrant legacy of Michael Jackson. We believe Michael will continue to make many new, first-time fans of all ages but it is up to all of us as the MJFam to focus on the things where we want the attention of those new to Michael’s legacy to be. We hope you share your love of Michael with the world so that the MJFam community continues to grow even further.

For instance, fans may want to continue to share the success of MJ the Musical, which won four Tony Awards including best lead actor and best choreography. As was reported by AP and picked up by other media outlets, MJ saw the biggest bump in sales out of all Broadway shows the week after the Tony Awards and a US tour is kicking off in Chicago in July 2023. And, of course, the immensely popular Michael Jackson ONE show continues in Las Vegas.

I am personally excited about the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. I am also looking forward to the campaign to celebrate the 40th anniversary in November of Thriller, the biggest selling album in history. I hope you share my excitement with what’s coming soon in the world of Michael Jackson.

Please reach out to me with further comments or questions. We appreciate your email and continuing support of Michael Jackson and his incredible legacy.

Thank you,

Chuck – MJ Online Team

Yahoo! News│3 Michael Jackson songs suddenly removed from YouTube and Apple Music, but not because of lawsuit, spokesman says
 
now since they removed three songs from that album, they could just add some other unheard songs which were considered for 'Michael'.... as a compensation for this insane mess.

(wishful thinking)
 
In 2019 50 Cent made some hurtful comments about the allegations. The fact, that he mistook Jason for Michael, shows that he knows nothing about the man.
 
Cascio tracks are 100 % real!! Trust me, I know his voice. No one can sing like that..
 
Glad they removed those garbage tracks from the album. All that money the executors make, and they couldn’t even manage to get 10 authentic songs onto a disc after his death. If they were doctors, that would be the equivalent of removing the wrong limb and then doing it again. Then doing it a third time.

They should have been fired immediately afterwards, or reduced to managing the books and letting someone who has common sense control the music.

I don’t care what these fools and their deep-pocket lawyers say - there was no reason to think those tracks were authentic from the start.

I still want to know how those rookie tracks came to be. I’d like to know how Eddie Cascio and his American Idol reject friend packaged these songs and how and when the lead vocals were recorded. I’m still shocked there were fans who thought it was actually him, it took about two seconds of hearing Breaking News to know they were a very bad impostor.

How did a nerdy white kid who can’t sing get three starring tracks on a Michael Jackson album? If you made that kind of snafu at your job, you’d be fired.

Seems like you have to understand how it is technically possible to "leave the pitch of the signal intact". Any detuning algorithm will result in a synthetic voice. At first you won't hear much of a difference, but the more you processs, the more synthetic the voice will become. The FORD remix stands out for its incredible production and shows what you can do with a voice.

Especially when R. Kelly is singing! Unless you believe DJ Ford, who is yet another supposed pro who can’t tell the vocals of MJ and R. Kelly apart.
