Title: Malachi ... Michael ... & TMZ ...
Post by: mac5k on October 01, 2010, 05:00:10 PM
Singer Jason Malachi finds that sounding like Jacko can be wacko

Back in 2007, a Pittsburgh radio station broadcast what it thought was a brand new, unreleased Michael Jackson track. The song, "Mamacita," made it all the way to celebrity gossip site TMZ, which wrote of the single, "Either the King of Pop is on a mission to reclaim his throne, or some other smooth criminal is pulling a fast one."

The song was written and recorded by Germantown native Jason Malachi, but he wasn't trying to pull a fast one over on anyone. Malachi didn't attempt to fool people into thinking it was a Michael Jackson track, but it's easy to see why the mistake was made. Although Malachi is a  white guy from MoCo, who works for the sheriff's department, he does sound a lot like Jackson.

"With the TMZ story, it came at a low point in my career, when I started working at the sheriff’s office," Malachi says. "My best friend called me and says, 'Your song "Mamacita" is all over TMZ, they’re saying it’s not you, they're saying it’s Michael Jackson.' Then, my attorney contacted TMZ and, said, 'That's not Michael, that’s Jason Malachi.'"

The next day, a story appeared on TMZ, clearing up the whole thing. The headline: “New Jacko Tracko—Done By a White Guy!”

This was, naturally, a turning point in Malachi's career.

"It catapulted my career, people wanted me to do cameos, shows—they couldn't believe my voice was so similar," says Malachi, who will perform at the 28th Annual Germantown Oktoberfest tomorrow.

"And, I can't confirm this, but at the time, my management said they received a call from Michael, and that he wanted to work with me," Malachi continues. "Now, it could've been someone posing as Michael, but he said he was interested in doing something with me."

The thing is, Malachi insists he isn't trying to sound like Michael at all. “I don’t try to sound like Michael," he says. "Producers tell me I naturally have same vocal structure—that's really how I sound. When people say, 'You're trying to sound like Michael,' I say, 'No, if I wanna sound like Michael, you won’t know the the difference [between me and him]. If you want me to get Mike-ified, I can do it.'"

Even though the resemblance isn't intentional, and Malachi has been releasing studio albums since for years (his latest is Critical), appearing on a site like TMZ opens doors. He has performed in Las Vegas, at a party where Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, of the MTV series The Hills, put in an appearance.  He says that Suge Knight once expressed interest in signing him and flew him out to California. They talked about a record deal while riding horses (Knight's horse was named "Gangster," Malachi says), even though he decided eventually not to sign with the infamous impresario.

But with the increased fame also came increased hate. One commenter on TMZ wrote, “ok....he sounds a lil like michael, but honestly, he doesnt sound EXACTLY like him. hes good, but when mike comes back, he better hold his breath.” Malachi says some especially wacko Jacko fans even found his home numer and began calling him with death threats, telling him to stop stomping on Jackson's turf.

And then, Michael Jackson died in June 2009. And, as the world mourned the King of Pop, things took a strange, but fortuitous turn.

“People will see me and hear music on my Facebook and MySpace, and they think it’s a conspiracy, that I don’t exist and Michael didn’t die," Malachi says. "They talk about how 'Malachi' backwards is 'Michael', it’s crazy. They write these long things..."

Indeed, the Web is filled with strange rants about Malachi and Michael. One fan writes, under the Facebook topic "Jason Malachi is Michael Jackson. All of the evidence is HERE": "Trust me, if there was someone out there who sounded identical to Michael Jackson the way that "Jason Malachi" does, he'd definitely have 15 or 30 minutes of fame. And somehow, the ONLY information you can dig up on Jason Malachi is from his myspace page. This whole thing is WAY to quiet."

Those MJ fans who believe that Malachi does indeed exist seem to be more open to his music now that the real MJ is gone. In missing Michael, some seem to be embracing Malachi. "Before [Jackson died], reaction was about 50/50, of people that liked it or didn't like it," Malachi says. "I was getting threats from people saying, 'You're trying to be like Michael, he's our king, leave him alone.' And then other people were like, 'Oh this is a new chapter.'  After he passed it seemed like a total [positive] transition. "

The singer was even invited to perform at a special event at Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in June, to honor Jackson, performing with established artists such as Angie Stone.

Malachi says that despite having to cram in rehearsals between sheriff duties, he killed it. He brought dancers with him, and even moved the crowd after the CD of music brought started skipping and he had to sing a capella."

“I let crowd pick, I said, 'Y’all wanna hear a Michael Jackson song?' One lady wanted 'Gone Too Soon,' and when I started doing it, I saw people crying," he says. "I did 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin',' which is a hard song to do, and nailed the vocals. But I didn’t want to do Michael's choreography. I didn’t want to be a copycat, I wanted to differentiate."

Malachi also put a couple of his own songs in the set, he says, and passed out CDs, but the Michael songs were the highlight.

"Even my wife sometimes is like, 'Honey, I gotta be honest with you, you sometimes sing Michael's songs better than your songs,'" Malachi says.

Malachi is figuring out exactly how to capitalize on the Jackson-driven interest in his music without venturing into impersonation.

On his latest album, Malachi reworked the track "A Hero Fell," which was originally created for USA Cares, as a song for the troops, into a Jacko tribute. He also says that three of his songs turned up on a Michael Jackson ultimate collection release in China,  "I'm just riding in the Honda with my wife, and we're listening to the set ,and there are songs on there listed as new Michael songs, but they're my songs," Malachi says.

Although Malachi's attorney is on the case, trying to figure out why Malachi's music is on a Jackson comp, the singer says that he can understand the interest in his music from Jacko fans.

"I'm mentioned a lot on Michael Jackson fan websites," he says. "People will say, 'now that Michael's gone, he's the closest thing we've got vocally.'"

Very interesting character, this individual Jason malachi is. Appearntly he has been in the music business since the age of 9, is an Italian and has been influenced by the likes of artists such as Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly. he has personally stated that he released his first album at the age of 13, strange coincidences that sorta mirror michael in a sense. yet, if you look him up, you can only view his music. there is not a great deal of information concerning him, although it seems as if he is very talented. This is quite strange. you'd think that a guy of this caliber would break through and be frequently around the web, photos, videos etc, yet all you can find out about him is virtually nothing. and he's been around for a while apparently.

I wonder what websites he's been looking at? I know I haven't read this anywhere....and I am sorry but nobody in my opinion will ever sound enough like Michael to ever "replace him", even Jason Malachi. Blessings.

My personal view on Jason is that he isn't the artist that we have been introduced to, he may not even exist. I challenge everyone to do some research on this man, and you'll find virtually nothing that pertains to him. No youtube video interviews, no information. is he even touring? He's a talented man, theres no denying that, but we maybe having a discussion about a guy who could be nonexistent! undiscovered artist perhaps. My instincts tell me that Michael may have hired this guy, if he does exist, or something of teh sort, but this is merely a opinion. his inspirations are even similar to michael's! most modern artists don't really pay tribute to fred astire, nate king cole, judy garland and site them as significant influences when dealing with musical inspirations.  



I mean think about it, if hes been around since at least 2007, making music, then he would have been discovered by now or at least have gained some recognition and became a fascination of the media  and they would of gave him publicity if he was vocally as similar to michael. Anybody who is close to him vocally, has to have talent, correct?

Quote
The Mystery Man. Well, he's Jason Malachi. A mind blowing, eye-popping, break dancing Italian kind of guy ready to unleash his powered force into the wild. Born in the outskirts of Washington, DC, Jason feels that music has always been a major part of his IDENTITY.

Well, just by the voice you hear you can almost guess who his inspiration is, but believe it or not Frank Sinatra was his first inspiration and Nat King Cole, Judy Garland, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire to name a few. Growing up and exposing himself to the streets, he was captivated by the Break-Dance era and couldnt resist the temptation of breaking out a card board box. He started break dancing at age 5. But out of all of that dancing, "Nothing caught my attention more than watching this Anti-Gravity like figure sliding across stages worldwide." You guessed it, none other than the King of Pop himself.

At the tender age of 9, Jason recalls staying up late with his uncle singing old Duop songs from groups like The Duprees and The Flamingos, as well as singing all his favorite Motown classics.

Artists such as Smokey Robinson, The Jackson 5, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder had Jason hooked on that Motown sound. That Sound helped to better enhance the depth of his musical style.

Growing up as a teenager, you couldnt help getting consumed and inspired by the Hip-Hop culture. Not only can you be amazed by the breathy falsetto, but Jason has got the full package. He sings, dances, and choreographs and his ultimate favorite performing Live. He was once voted the best performing artist of his school and received a scholarship to Motion Mania Dance School. He also writes his own music, which coming from the heart is his motto. "I really love the level of creativity that can be reached while in the studio atmosphere. I feel that my best writing occurs when I am alone, however, I do enjoy collaborative work."

He has worked with producers such as: Damon Sharpe (Damon Sharpe Music), Wayne M. Wilson, Tony Kurtis (Da Platinum House), Eddy Jenkins (Midas Touch), Eugene Hanes (Divine Mill), Big Dog Productions, Yewmon Byers (East Coast Studios), & BlackHouse Entertainment.

When in the studio, he's collaborating with artists such as Dru Hill, Ruff Endz, Davinch, Ray Jay, Mr. Slick, Calico, Paula Campbell and Tony Kurtis.

"I have an influential, yet original sound and style. I always welcome criticism; whether it is positive, negative or constructive. I am confident with my talents, yet I am exceedingly grateful. I always strive for perfection and pray for the very best."

Oh, and by the way, the "Motion Mania Dance School" who offered him a scholarship, doesn't seem to exist!

one more piece of information:

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2 ... topic=5315 (http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=21829381782&topic=5315)

Quote
1) Will.I.am stated that he was trying to convince Michael Jackson to release his forthcoming album online, and to use social networking sites like myspace.com to promote his music. Perhaps not coincidentally, Jason Malachi's album is ONLY available online, and can only be purchased on Jason's myspace page in the Nimbit music store. Will.I.am announced that he was working with Michael in October of 2006, and Jason Malachi's album dropped on May 31, 2008. That is more than enough time to record a hit album. Here is a link to the story.....http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/ar ... et_1020141 (http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/william%20expects%20jackson%20to%20release%20new%20album%20on%20the%20net_1020141)

2) On Jason Malachi's myspace page, he lists Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, James Brown, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole as inspirations. Haven't we all heard Michael Jackson list these SAME people as influences?

3) There are NO tour dates, album credits, MTV promotion, or any kind of publicity. Hell, there isn't even a wikipedia article on this guy!! Trust me, if there was someone out there who sounded identical to Michael Jackson the way that "Jason Malachi" does, he'd definitely have 15 or 30 minutes of fame. And somehow, the ONLY information you can dig up on Jason Malachi is from his myspace page. This whole thing is WAY to quiet.

4) Some people say that Jason's songs are not quite good enough to be Michael Jackson songs. They say the production is the digitalized, and that Malachi's vocals aren't as great as Michael Jackson. Well, Jason Malachi's songs are really Michael Jackson DEMOs. Michael Jackson's demos are only blueprints, people. If you listen to the demos for "Don't stop til you get enough," "Billie Jean," etc, you'll see that the music sounds stripped down and the vocals are no where near as great as the finished version. Michael NEVER gives his best vocals on his demos, nor is the music at its best quality. Michael Jackson has released these demos to the public to get a reaction, and he'll hit us with a major release a little later. To hear an example of a Michael Jackson demo, click here. This is the "Don't stop til you get enough" demo. Notice how it sounds worlds away from the finished version that made the "Off the Wall" album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVW_6KsUBE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVW_6KsUBE)

5) Michael Jackson is STILL under contract for Sony Records. I doubt he can even release songs under the name "Michael Jackson." He has to wait until his contract expires. He can't release a new album from Sony. Why do you think we keep getting re-releases like Thriller 25 and such? Until the contract expires, Mike can't do too much. It's the same thing Prince went through. That's the reason why Prince changed his name to that stupid symbol; his record company owned him. He couldn't release new material under the name Prince while still under contract with Warner Bros. Michael Jackson is undergoing the same battle with Sony. Remember that before he released Dangerous back in 1991, Michael signed a $1 Billion Contract with Sony Entertainment, and to this day, he still owes them more albums.

6) Michael Jackson apparently went to Prince for career advice in the summer of 2007. Prince is notorious for using different names and aliases during his battle with his former label, Warner Bros. ( He used the names Paisley Park, NPG, Camille, The Artist, and several others.) Likewise, Prince released several albums that are only available online. It's highly plausible that Prince gave MJ the idea to release music under an alias to avoid any kind of lawsuit from Sony Music. Here is a link to the story.......http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/15011 ... d=10453478 (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1501119/story.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10453478)

7) This "Jason Malachi" character has released videos of himself singing acapella on youtube. Don't buy it, people. Tell me how can he sound like an impersonator on that clip, but somehow sound JUST LIKE Michael Jackson on the songs? The voice serenading us on youtube, and the voice on the Jason Malachi songs are obviously different voices. The voice on the songs is obviously the King of Pop. Also, the lighting on the video of "Jason Malachi" singing acapella is so dim, we cannot see his mouth clearly. He may have been lip synching. Never trust the internet, people.

8) Jason Malachi sounds similar to Michael Jackson. The only letter missing is the "K". I think Michael might as well have used the anagram of "Jason Jackson." It's really obvious.

9) Jason Malachi's album cover is him leaning against a red brick wall. This is identical to the "Off the wall" album cover. Look closer, and you'll see that Jason's body is positoned EXACTLY the same as Michael's body is positioned on the Bad album cover. Likewise, Jason is dressed in all black, just like MJ is on the album cover. Mike is sending us plenty of hints.

10) Why don't we ever see Jason sing live? If he could sing "Biggerman" or "You don't have to go" live and in person, I'd believe him. But in the few videos of him dancing and performing online, he's always lip synching. (We know why.)

11) Malachi is a biblical name that means “The messenger”. This was one of the Minor Prophets in the Old Testament, the author of the Book of Malachi, which some claim foretells the coming of Christ. The coming, in a biblical standpoint also refers to the return, like the second coming and whatnot. Michael Jackson was brought up to be, and probably still is a very religiously inclined person. The quote on Jason Malachi's MySpace is "Prepare for Malachi", so if you translate Malachi it would mean "prepare for the return."

12) Will.I.am announced that he was working with Michael Jackson in late 2006. In the late summer of 2007, this unknown "Jason Malachi" pops up, who has no previous credentials or work. On the same note, Malachi pops up AFTER MJ had a meeting with Prince (who is known for his fake names and symbols) and only released his music online through a social networking site. (Which is EXACTLYwhat Will.I.am instructed MJ to do.)

13) Last, but not least, this benefits Michael Jackson. His reputation and image have been horribly damaged by scandals. If Michael Jackson came out and said, "OK, I'm releasing an album," some people wouldn't budge. After all, people are more caught up in his personal life than his great, legendary music. However, if some young guy out there happened to sound JUST LIKE Michael Jackson, people would be intrigued by the music only. They would enjoy the music, and listen with an open mind.

He talks about how he 'must get away' and he 'must run away'..

Also his reaction to the interviewer was odd...was it a private song or did he want it to be released later on as a surprise?

Funny though is that he doesn't sound that much like Elvis live, same as Jason Malachi who doesn't sound that much like MJ live. Close enough so people wouldn't get suspicious, but not close enough.

I was listening to the song Let me go, and my son who is 21 said Nice song of Michael Jackson. I never hear it ! I started to laugh. Here is the song.
He does sound very much like MJ. More and more I am starting to believe that MJ is Jason. This is just an assumption. The Initial of Jason Malachi is JM and Michael Jackson is MJ.I think there is something there. I cannot pin point it, but yes this we need to investigate.
God bless!

I listened to the video above and it does sound like Michael singing in most parts for sure. It would be next to impossible to imitate his side notes and sounds, IMO. I have been thoroughly confused by this Jason Malachi - especially after learning of MJ's "self-claimed" son with the similar name. There's another song called Let Me Let Go and it sounds too much like Michael as well. The only way I will believe it is him is if Jason is standing in front of me and I can see that he's not lip syncing.


The other video - that is funny. What's up with the mask? It's easy to see that it's not Elvis and Elvis didn't wear masks...

It's Jason Malachi. I actually went to Middle School and High School with this guy. His real name is Jason Cupeta and he's from Gaithersburg, MD.As long as I had known this guy he was obsessed with Michael Jackson: listened to him, sang him, danced him... channeled him. He took a lot of s**t sometimes for it, but he didn't care. He's a really nice guy too

I thought he came from New jersey or New York maybe I misunderstood. Lucky you.. so you went to school with a dude who sang like MJ. I still have a hard time to believe. I am not saying you are lying, don't get me wrong, all these impersonators who try to sing and even dance like MJ have difficulties sounding like MJ. Why doesn this Malachi kid have his own voice, he should be himself, even if you are obsessed with MJ, don't be him? I don't understand people.

I don't know what the truth is about Jason Malachi... Someone posted a comment on YouTube saying that Malachi is just a stage name, not his real family name.  Could be!  I do think his voice is similar to Michael's - while lacking a certain quality, maybe the full spectrum of emotion that Michael could convey, with the hiccups, the HOOs, the crying etc.  What intrigues me most is that Malachi's songs are in MJ's style.  There's just something about them that screams Michael to me.  

In any case, JM made this tribute to MJ, "A Hero Fell" (which I actually consider one of the best tributes out there - it made my cry like crazy):
[youtube:2a0qeeep]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DRZPcI1gDM[/youtube:2a0qeeep]

Intro: "You came into this world to fulfill a purpose.  You came to fulfill a destiny.  Your spirit shines forth and touches the very soul of all those you inspire.  Your character emanated greatness.  You saw the world with the heart of a child and the eyes of a legend.  Michael, now you are free.  We love you.  You'll always be our hero."  Then the music hits: "Because a hero fell... I can see those broken wings..."  :(   :cry:   :cry:

Post by: truthprevails on October 03, 2010, 10:43:01 PM
I think it would be interesting to know who writes the songs released/sung by Jason Malachi.  I haven't been able to find out, but then I haven't tried very hard either... Will have to look into it.
Title: Re: Malachi ... Michael ... & TMZ ...
Post by: voiceforthesilent on October 03, 2010, 11:32:39 PM
That song was beautiful and quite touching, especially at the end with the little girl saying "we'll always love you, Michael". Funny thing - that didn't sound like Michael at all. So, how can he change his voice so much? Hmmm....interesting.
Title: Re: Malachi ... Michael ... & TMZ ...
Post by: truthprevails on October 04, 2010, 07:34:52 AM
I thought that Jason did sound like MJ in "A Hero Fell", especially at the beginning (when he starts to sing, that is, not during the spoken intro) and at the end.  But um, maybe he uses Autotune sometimes?!  I'm not sure if Autotune can make one sound like another person...  :?:

I've done a bit of digging on J. Malachi and here's what I found:
1. He's a member of MySpace since 30 June 2006.  (MySpace has existed since 2003.)
http://www.myspace.com/jasonmalachi (http://www.myspace.com/jasonmalachi)
Isn't June 2006 around the time that BACK started his posts on that MJJ forum?
Interestingly, June 2006 is exactly when MySpace is said to have became the most popular social networking site in the United States -- at least according to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySpace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySpace)
2. The MySpace page says that JM is not signed to any label.
3. There are references on the Internet to the Motion Mania Dance Center (to which JM is said to have obtained a scholarship at age 12), so the school does seem to exist - or at least to have existed at some point... The address is 327 Muddy Branch Rd., Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878.  
Here's JM's bio:
http://www.germantownoktoberfest.org/entertainment.html (http://www.germantownoktoberfest.org/entertainment.html)
4. Malachi's "Revelation" album (the first album we've heard of, I think?) was released on 31 May 2008.
5. In the only interview with Jason that I found he says his family is Italian; he's 23 and singing since age 9 (not sure when the interview was held, though); made his first record at age 13; his first performance in Vegas was gonna happen that night.  He also said that he wrote "Don't Walk Away".  Interview:
[youtube:2gm9utq4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJui31IwYvU[/youtube:2gm9utq4]

Based on the fact that the Motion Mania school is in Maryland (MD) and so is Germantown (where the Oktoberfest mentioned above is held), I would guess that JM is from Maryland - which is close to Washington DC.  And based on my knowledge, many people who work in DC live in Maryland.  Anyhow, that's not really important - unless some people want to discuss JM's accent.  

I must say, I like this guy and the way he sounds in the interview... Seems humble.  He laughs a bit like MJ at one point, and says "Bless you" to one of the people who call in, and says something about God's grace when the interviewer asks JM whether he's strong enough for the industry... He's very agreeable overall.  And toward the end he sings live on the radio!

What surprises me greatly is that we haven't heard much of this guy prior to 2008-09 (not till 2009-10 for me!), and there aren't more TV appearances and live performances... There's not even much info on the Internet, especially pre-2008. JM really doesn't seem to try to market his music a whole lot!  Maybe he's a shy/private guy who simply loves music and is talented?  That could explain why he loves MJ so much... Maybe he's the real deal, in the sense of someone doing his thing and being true to himself, rather than trying to imitate/impersonate MJ or chase MJ around.  I mean, he doesn't make a big deal of his voice's resemblance to MJ's... though he does say it's a compliment when people mention that to him. And maybe the guy was reluctant to promote his music prior to 2009 because he knew he sounded like MJ and would be accused of "messing with the King"?  I mean, such an accusation must be hurtful for someone who respects MJ a lot and (possibly) simply happens to sound like MJ.

I think he sounds different here. Nice song. I wish I could hear the whole song. I guess I should buy the album. I actually can tell the difference between the two. The only song where he sounds just like Michael is Don't Walk Away, IMO.

He actually doesn't sound like him through most of the album...at least the little clips I heard on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Critical/dp/B0040 ... 221&sr=8-7 (http://www.amazon.com/Critical/dp/B0040Q1G7G/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1286238221&sr=8-7)).

I found the meaning of Malachi:  Malachi is "messenger of God". Biblical: a prophet and writer of the final book of the Old Testament.

If this is not his real name, they said it was Cupeta, why did he change it to Malachi? Did he know the meaning of Malachi? Or he chose that name just for the heck of it? Why change a last name when Michael , Celine Dion, so many never changed their names. Can it be possible that Michael new him and gave him that name of Malachi? Honestly, these are all question that I have, maybe it will lead nowhere, but it is a start.  I just would like to know if any of you can help me find anything relating to that name, we know that Michael was very religious. He believes and has faith in God..
What I am trying to say, maybe Michael is working through Jason Malachi?  
Love..

That guy is lying if he's saying he's not trying to sound like MJ. Which is exactly what he's doing... So whatever.
He sounds almost like Mike, true, but something's missing: it's the vibe, the energy coming from Michael's music. Why is that missing? Even if we admit this could be Michael, until I see this guy sing and perform live, I won't believe the story.

True, I thought it was odd that we never heard about this guy before, you'd think he'd be famous for sounding like Michael...

I wasn't trying to attack you in any shape or form, so I  sincerely apologize if it came off as something harsh and foul. I was simply stating something that I figure you'd likely be inclined to read, since this is something that draws  considerable amount of interest from many. Please do not take this personal, my intention was to never attack you and I would think twice before I start meaningless arguments which come to no resolve. It's all about love at this point, and I would honestly never from the bottom of my heart do such a thing. We're hear to discover the truth about Michael, not to fire tasteless insults or push buttons. Many of us are strangers to one another on this message board, but I think if we continue to show the love and respect, only good things can come from this, but also must show virtue and resiliency because it is impossible to uncover the truth if we are constantly bashing one another to the point of despair and sheer restlessness. To be honest, if I knew the answer to your question, Iw ould have already begun to answer, but unfortunately, this is the exact question that stems from the mystery of whether this guy ceases to even exist or not. I do believe he was hired by someone close to Jackson's representatives in order to gain something positive while dealing with the alleged allegations he had been dealing with previously, but as we are uncertain of Jackson's death, this also shares a great deal of uncertainty.

Ok, this has been bothering me for the longest time and I need answers. So, we've been told that jason malichi is a real and an amazing talent, which, if he is real, this is totally true. So then, why is this picture different from the videos he is in? He looks NOTHING like this picture here when you look at his videos:

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_R9nXf_Ruz3c/TBlc_D5LWII/AAAAAAAABdo/O_YjI-BbzBM/s1600/2482456.jpg)

This is guy appears to have a slightly slim build, lanky frame compared to the jason in the videos.

(http://ll-media.tmz.com/2007/09/21/0921_mikealike_reveal_myspace_tmz-1.jpg)

Now, maybe I'm blind, I really don't know. but if you take a look at this video, can;'t you agree that he changed drastically. in the video (w in person interview posted on october 8th, 2010) He sounds very humble and polite, which is nice, but his body frame looks a little more bulky. Theres no way he could of gained that much weight in little time unless he works out heavily!

the publicity pics of Jason look nothing like the Jason in the videos.  A bit like the real Dave Dave and the Dave on LKL.

Malachi, the messenger of God

You took the words right outta my mouth! When I saw the name, I thought "Is this the illegitimate son....". He sounds like him--or at least like someone who is trying to fool the listener.  I don't get it.

Ok, this has been bothering me for the longest time and I need answers. So, we've been told that jason malichi is a real and an amazing talent, which, if he is real, this is totally true. So then, why is this picture different from the videos he is in? He looks NOTHING like this picture here when you look at his videos:

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_R9nXf_Ruz3c/TBlc_D5LWII/AAAAAAAABdo/O_YjI-BbzBM/s1600/2482456.jpg)

This is guy appears to have a slightly slim build, lanky frame compared to the jason in the videos.

Now, maybe I'm blind, I really don't know. but if you take a look at this video, can;'t you agree that he changed drastically. in the video (w in person interview posted on october 8th, 2010) He sounds very humble and polite, which is nice, but his body frame looks a little more bulky. Theres no way he could of gained that much weight in little time unless he works out heavily!
and to me, in the video, he doesnt even look like a singer..

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one seeing the difference. I was thoroughly confused. And I apologize but I couldn't get through that second video where he was singing for Oktoberfest. Seems very unprofessional compared to other audio and video that we've heard. I don't think these are the same two people, honestly, which is really confusing. Yes, he could have gained weight but his voice wouldn't change so much.

Absolutely agree!! The guy in the video is almost chubby, while the one in the pic is quite slim. Plus the way he moves in the video is just...off, he doesn't move like someone who's been dancing all his life which is what he claims himself!!?? THAT IS ODD, to say the least, right??

I think these 2 guys, Jason Malaki & Marcus Joseph Neeraas are part of the same stunt --- both sounding damn similar to Michael (I still say it IS Michael) on tape, but nothing like him live ...
And they also seem to more or less have disappeared after people started to analyze the songs and ask questions ...
If I'd have a voice like that, i'd do anything and try to hit those bloody charts, wouldn't you ?!
I mean, if they are indeed so good and don't use the hype, they are really stupid ....

Not good at all. He's pitchy and out of breath but he still doesn't sound the same. Auto tunes can correct certain things but it's incapable of making someone sound like another. Sounds like 2 different people to me.

Here's the English Milli Vanilli Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milli_Vanilli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milli_Vanilli)

Milli Vanilli wasn't Frank Farian first trick, he already did it in 1975 with Boney M:

Milli Vanilli's Pilatus Dead
By



Milli Vanilli's Rob Pilatus has died in Germany according to the Sunday issue of the German newspaper "Bild am Sonntag."

The paper says that the troubled former pop-star was found dead Friday in a Frankfurt hotel room. The cause of death was unknown at press time, but a combination of drugs and alcohol is suspected. Producer Frank Farian told the paper that Pilatus had just completed a round of drug rehabilitation and was scheduled to travel to India for more treatment when he died.

Pilatus, alongside Fabrice Morvan, was half of the fashion-savvy dreadlocked dance duo that rocketed to fame in the late 1980's, only to be shot down in 1990 when it was revealed they didn't sing on their own records, leading to the revoking of their Grammy award. Pilatus continued to get press attention long after the duo's demise with an array of arrests mostly stemming from various drunken altercations.

The son of a German stripper and an American soldier, Pilatus was adopted by a physician and his wife in Munich at the age of four and ran away from home at 14. He tried his hand at DJ-ing and modeling and eventually became a champion breakdancer. He was in the States for a breakdance competition when he met up with Morvan, a Frenchman in town attending a dance music conference, at a Los Angeles disco.

Once back in Munich, the two hooked up and attempted to find work as back-up singers, then formed their own act. From most reports, Pilatus had a passable voice and Morvan's was considered quite good. They gained popularity and came to the attention of famed German producer Frank Farian. Farian readily agreed to audition the two, but found their vocals lacking. He agreed to sign them, but only as frontmen. Farian assigned them some already recorded music, dressed them up and put them out to the public as Milli Vanilli in 1988 with songs like "Girl You Know It's True."

While the duo may not have sang their way to the top, their good looks, smooth moves and some of the greatest hair in the business certainly helped propel the band to sales totaling 30 million singles and 14 million albums. Unfortunately, their sudden success also propelled their egos -- they didn't endear themselves to the press or fans when they compared themselves in interviews to Elvis and the Beatles.

It all came crashing to a halt when Pilatus and Morvan demanded that Farian allow them to sing and threatened to expose the scam. Farian called a surprise press conference in November of 1990 and announced the hoax himself, firing Pilatus and Morvan in the process. Farian, who had faced similar miming accusations with his previous group, seventies disco group Boney M, escaped relatively unscathed and went on to produce/manufacture hit European bands including La Bouche and No Mercy. The much maligned Pilatus and Morvan went on to record an album as Rob and Fab, but it failed miserably.

Morvan then launched a solo career, playing shows around Los Angeles and recording an album, "Love Revolution," due for release this Spring.

Pilatus began a downward slide that included at least one suicide attempt and several arrests. Oddly enough, Pilatus, bailed out of jail by Farian during one of his escapades, returned to Germany and realigned himself with the producer. He also retained an agent and began seeking movie roles.

A PR spokesperson for Morvan, Ilene Proctor, confirmed to MTV News via email that Pilatus and Morvan hadn't spoken since 1995, although she says Pilatus had been in touch with Morvan's management. Proctor also made it clear that Morvan has not forgiven Farian, whom, she said, is "again profiting from the boys."

Proctor adds that she hopes a pending movie deal will tell the true tale. "We are talking with major movie studios who are very anxious to help us tell the real Milli Vanilli story," says Proctor. "The whole story, the real story has never been told."

Pilatus was 32

THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS NOT MICHAEL.   I've listened to Michael since 1968 and as I sit here in the dark...the sighs are the same.  The breathing, the end of the notes..it is Michael.  No surprise, he's always done work that didn't have his name on it.  He even said so in interviews.  I'm going to keep it all.  One day we'll see.  No need to be in denial...it is a gift.  We'll see.  I read the article about Michael visiting Prince, which I find amazing, that Prince now is the religion Michael was pressured to leave because of Thriller, and less than a year later, Michael is gone, and we get music by someone who it looks like, don't exist.  It's falling into place very nicely.
