Statement from The Estate Of Michael Jackson
The Estate of Michael Jackson have just released this official statement to the fans.
Dear Fans
As the Michael album was being put together, it was decided to bring Teddy Riley on board to work on several songs, including “Breaking News,” a song Michael recorded with Eddie Cascio and James Porte in late 2007 while living at the Cascio family home with his children. Riley produced and submitted “Breaking News” to Sony for inclusion on the album.
At that time, no one ever mentioned that the vocals we heard on the Cascio songs, which were basically in demo format, might not be Michael. It was known, however, that the background vocals were a combination of Michael and James Porte.
After the tracks were submitted to Sony, three of these Cascio songs were selected to be on the album, and “Breaking News” was one of the three. The day after the submission and selection of the album tracks, for the very first time, the authenticity of Michael’s vocals on the Cascio tracks was questioned.
Because of these questions, I was immediately asked by co-Executors John Branca and John McClain to conduct an investigation regarding the authenticity of the lead vocals on the Cascio tracks.
Six of Michael’s former producers and engineers who had worked with Michael over the past 30 years - Bruce Swedien, Matt Forger, Stewart Brawley, Michael Prince, Dr. Freeze and Teddy Riley - were all invited to a listening session to hear the raw vocals of the Cascio tracks in question. All of these persons listened to the a cappella versions of the vocals on the Cascio tracks being considered for inclusion on the album, so they could give an opinion as to whether or not the lead vocals were sung by Michael. They all confirmed that the vocal was definitely Michael.
Michael’s musical director and piano player on many of his records over a 20-year period, Greg Phillinganes, played on a Cascio track being produced for the album, and said the voice was definitely Michael’s. Dorian Holley, who was Michael’s vocal director for his solo tours for 20 plus years (including the O2 Concert Tour) and is seen in the This Is It film, listened to the Cascio tracks and told me the lead vocal was Michael Jackson.
These are all engineers, producers and musicians who worked on tours and/or in the studio with Michael when he was recording Bad, Thriller, Off The Wall, Dangerous, Invincible, HIStory and Blood On The Dance Floor, and they all reconfirmed their belief that the lead vocals were Michael’s voice on the Cascio tracks.
The Estate then retained one of the best-known forensic musicologists in the nation to listen to the vocals without any instrumental accompaniment (“a cappella”), and to compare them with a cappella vocals from previous Michael songs. This expert performed waveform analysis, an objective scientific test used to determine audio authenticity, on the Cascio tracks, as well as previously released tracks with Michael’s voice, and reported that ALL of the lead vocals analyzed (which included Cascio tracks) were the voice of Michael Jackson.
Sony Music conducted their own investigation by hiring yet a second well-respected forensic musicologist who also compared the a cappella lead vocals from Cascio tracks against previously released vocals of Michael's, and found that Michael’s voice was the on all sets of the raw vocals. The Cascio tracks were also played for two very prominent persons in the music industry who played crucial roles in Michael’s career. Both of these individuals believed that the lead vocals were Michael’s.
Just to be absolutely certain, I also contacted Jason Malachi, a young singer who some persons had wrongfully alleged was a “soundalike” singer that was hired to sing on the Cascio tracks, and I confirmed that he had no involvement with this project whatsoever.
Sony decided that, given the overwhelming objective evidence resulting from the exhaustive investigations outlined above, they wanted to release a record that included three of the Cascio-Porte tracks - because they believed, without reservation, that the lead vocal on all of those tracks were sung by Michael Jackson.
Although there still seem to be concerns being expressed in some quarters about the authenticity of the lead vocals, notwithstanding the opinion of those who worked with Michael, and two independent forensic analysts, ultimately, Michael’s fans will be the judges of these songs, as they always are. We take all fan comments very seriously, and as I’d stated above, there is nothing more important to the Estate than Michael’s music, his legacy and his fans.
Michael’s fans are extraordinary in their quest for accuracy and their passions to raise their voices in a search for truth! We join with them in our care and concern for Michael. We are continuing to follow up with those who have worked in the studio or on tours with Michael, and if any new information comes to light, we will keep you and the fans advised.
Thanks,
Howard

Another chapter in the Jackson family feud is about to begin. On Monday, several Jackson family members are expected to appear in court for matters related to Dr. Conrad Murray, but other family members, specifically Rebbie and Randy, are expected to issue a statement in an attempt to distance themselves from a concert being billed as a tribute to Michael Jackson. Meanwhile, Katherine Jackson claims she hasn't received "a penny" from Michael's estate. The concert, deemed a "money grab" by a Jackson family confidant, is being produced by The Jackson Family Foundation, which lists Joseph Jackson as chairman and Katherine Jackson as vice chairman. A draft of Rebbie and Randy's statement, obtained by Scoop, reads in part: "It has been bought to my attention that The Jackson Family Foundation is staging a "Legacy of the Legend" concert Nov. 13 in Atlanta. That show is being billed as a tribute to my brother, Michael Jackson. Reportedly, I and others are scheduled to perform at this concert ... I am in no way associated with this event or the foundation and I wish to make that clear because I do not want to be party to anything that could potentially pose legal or other problems now or in the future." Why stage such a thing? Katherine and Joe need the money, according to the family friend. "Katherine told Oprah that she hasn't received a penny from the estate since Michael died," said the source. "What they (lawyers for the estate) have told her is that they have been busy trying to retire some of Michael's massive debt and they have maintained bills at Hayvenhurst and the kids' school." The source said that Janet Jackson has been helping Katherine financially in the mean time. :?: You are not allowed to view links.

Conrad Murray's Insurer Argues Against Paying for His Michael Jackson Defense CaseBy Ruth Manuel-Logan on Oct 21st 2010 11:10AMThe powers-that-be at Medicus Insurance Co. are adding to Dr. Conrad Murray's blues these days. The Texas insurer has requested that a judge rule that the company is not responsible for the legal bills that have piled up in the two high-profile cases that the good doctor is facing. Dr. Murray's legal team is defending him against an involuntary manslaughter charge, where he is accused of administering a lethal does of the anesthetic propofol to the late pop star sensation Michael Jackson. Jackson patriarch, Joe, also has a wrongful death lawsuit against Murray. The cardiologist also faces a possible suspension or limitation of his license in three states, Texas, California and Nevada. According to Murray, he is heavily relying on four attorneys to represent him in his criminal and civil cases and needs his medical license in order to pay his legal bills. On the flip side, Murray only purchased his policy with Medicus about a month before Jackson's death in June of last year. The company contends that his policy did not cover incidents involving general anesthesia. Medicus, who filed their case last August, is claiming that they are not required to defend Murray's medical license in three states. The company also claims that the investigation by Texas and California officials came as a result of allegations of wrongdoing in Jackson's death and that Nevada attempted to suspend Murray's medical license because he had lagged behind on child support payments, not for his medical work. In a court filing Monday, one of Murray's attorneys Charles Peckham denied Medicus' claims and argued that the case should be stayed because defending it would violate the doctor's Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Peckham also argued in the filing that the Medicus issue should be decided upon after the criminal case is over. According to the Medicus lawsuit, Murray's policy only covers his actions in Texas. The company filed its case after Murray asked the insurer to pay for his defense in the California court cases and medical board hearings in other states, according to the complaint. Meanwhile, Murray is due back in a Los Angeles court next week for the criminal case hearing. You are not allowed to view links.

I just want to share... :Many news agencies lie and distort facts, not many have the guts to admit it...in court...positioning the First Amendment as their defense! The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, successfully argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves. We are pushing for a consumer protection solution that labels news content according to its adherence to ethical journalism standards that have been codified by the Society of Professional Journalists Read more: You are not allowed to view links.
