I love the whole album, even the "fake" songs! I have nothing against them musically. If somebody convinced me REALLY that this is in fact MJ who simply changed his manner of singing or did it on purpose - that would be the best day of my life. But I hate the thought I might have been deceived... This time - to believe is not enough for me. I want to KNOW. Da troot. :?
I am convinced the songs are all him, but for the sake of argument...what do you guys think the point would be of having a sound alike record the songs? I mean, I would have to assume that MJ has TONS of unreleased material that would work to put on the new album. Why would they want to go to the trouble of having a fake record these songs knowing that people would notice? I'm trying to find the logic in that but I just can't...any ideas? To me it seems much more logical that the songs are all him and it sounds different because it was recorded and produced differently than we're used to hearing (see my earlier post for details on that). As far as the family saying it's not him, I have to think that was a marketing strategy. Not just for sales but to get more people to listen to the songs, the message..and to get people's attention even more for what is to come. Because honestly, since I've listened to the actual album, I am convinced it's all him. Some parts of the songs sound different and questionable, but then there are parts that are undoubtedly him that nobody could immitate. Not to mention, I am also convinced that Michael has sang/recorded vocals for Janet since his 'death'. If he can manipulate his voice to sound almost exactly like his SISTER, I'm sure he can manipulate it to sound different on songs that he wants to have a particular feel or vibe (or simply to confuse us all and get our attention). Either way, mission accomplished! The songs rock AND we're all STILL talking about it
Just posting it in order to have all evidence in one thread:It is coming from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login :? QuoteThanks for the link! Looking at the comments, I can only continue shaking my head to this album.I agree with your starting post, too. Cully Surroga writes:"I'm sorry cause this is also a question of personal taste, but to me those songs just have "no soul" in them, it's nothing like a Michael Jackson record. All in all it sounds like a quickly produced contemporary pop album that wil be impossible to listen to in less than 10 years... (Remember Thriller?)"Yup. I agree with you too. I don't think he would've let such an album leave the studio. Listening to his old songs, they're "full", thought out. And he doesn't sound like a machine like he does now in, say, the chorus of "Hold My Hand". Why did they need to f**k with his voice? As MJ is dead, wouldn't the record company realize it is his voice the fans want to hear, as organic as possible and not enhanced? The voice is all there's left to have. Something's not right. With the "enhancing" they can release pretty much anything claiming this is Michael Jackson. Have a "malachi", run the vocals through a machine and say "we needed to enchance the vocals". I've seen and read enough to suspect anything these days, especially the true motives of corporations. And I think the greedy record company is one major reason Michael Jackson is not amongst us today. Wherever he is. Big record companies are just a part of this huge culture manipulating, money making machine. It's an industry with no morals, just for money. They're part of a bigger agenda some members discuss these things elsewhere on this board i.e. Music Industry & Mind Control. :evil: Sorry the rant...

The Cascios were only on Oprah to promote this album because the family have a vested interest in it/More money, more money!
How about all the things written in Leonard Rowe's book? I am happy to see your enthusiasm but I guess I lost mine somewhere... :cry:
Why don't they give the audience acapellas of the songs?Sony said experts have identified the songs as MJ's voice. Who paid for these tests?The fake tracks are so obvious, i still can't believe the album is actually in shops.
This is so obvious to me... i'm having more 'doubts' about the people listening to the songs.Do we not have, in 2010, good enough equipment to hear and identify someone's voice?It's nice that Teddy Riley admits the voice has been 'enhanced', my question is: to what extent? I have used 'Melodyne' many times and know all those tools quite well, they correct voice takes and retune specific notes, they don't change one's voice into a completely different one.
