First, I want to say that I thought those particular songs might not be Michael at first...but after getting the album I can say with 100% certainty it is ALL him. I think it's just some new sounds, as well as promoting some necessary controversy. Wanted to share here what I posted on another thread (in response to an article that gave the album bad reviews):I think there are some very DIFFERENT sounds on this album - but different doesn't equal bad. I think sometimes people are so scared of change, that they just don't give things a chance. Especially when it comes to Michael Jackson - these are new songs, new sounds for him. But are they really new to him? I doubt it. I'm sure he's always enjoyed making many different kinds of music that maybe nobody will ever hear. But anyway, these songs are truly good. I can see how one may not prefer the production style, but I really think that's how Michael wanted it to sound. He's trying to give us something we've never seen before. He's trying to shake us up a bit and get us ready to embrace CHANGE. This album is a masterpiece. There's a song for everyone on it - me, my 13 year old sister, my grandma - you name it. There's something for everyone, and probably something you'll like that you wouldn't think you'd like. And the LYRICS...don't get me started. Do you know how sick and tired I am of turning on the radio only to hear the words "sex" "bitch" "drunk" "club" over and over again? And what's sad is that many songs of today not only lack substance lyrically, but musically as well. So that makes it just a blob of a song - a pointless waste of energy. But Michael's new album, as well as all his music, contains lyrics with substance AND music with substance. That is what makes Michael great, the album and the man.
I received my copy of the MICHAEL cd tonight in the mail. I have to tell you all...it is wonderful. 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. 8-) 8-) No wonder the album is #1 in 8 countries. Michael....cool move, great album! 8-)
Indeed "Michael" is ALL Michael" The 3 songs in question where altered at Michael's request! Listen to Teddy Riley, Michael gave Teddy notes on how he wanted these songs presented. Michael planed for this album to come out when it did and Michael did a change up on the way he sang and had Teddy work his magic as well. The reason? Michael has very extremely important messages for us in those songs. He wanted people to listen to them over and over, so that you would hear what he is trying to say to us. Anyone who doesn't believe Michael Joe Jackson is capable of sounding like anyone that could duplicate him, is fooling themselves and really missing out on the purpose of the Album. This Album is a wake up call, so PLEASE pay attention to the message...ESPECIALLY in these 3 controversial songsI love you all and God Bless you.....

So I am confused about which 3 songs. Is it the 3 Cascio songs? Monster-Keep Your Head Up- Breaking news?I really like all 3 and I find it hard to think that they are not as Michael wants them. :lol: I love shrieking right along to Monster!!Wake up call indeed! The lyrics are there, Michaels voice is there, the message is there!Haven't studied them yet but by God they are amazing! I grow weary of those that want the old Michael of Thriller etc...nobody has a right to grow? Those that won't buy it are missing out on so much life and love. Perhaps they never noticed the differences in Dangerous and on to Invincible?I hope it continues to climb!I love you all too
Quote from: "2 Bad"I wondered if anybody else that gets the yahoo news alerts on MJ are seeing these headlines "Lacko Jacko" and others that make my blood boil? I am also wondering if you folks are sending comments to the fact that they are wrong and unfairly judging this CD. Ugh again.Why do these jerks think they can just think for others on this? WE the fans are the ones it is for, we are the ones that decide if we like it or not. They need to shut the hell up.I am going to start defending my right to make up my own damn mind on this. Am I wrong to think that we should jump down their throats for their continued disrespect?Of course done with class and grace :lol:Don't let your blood boil, it's not worth it. It will never change, especially when an album is great, has a lot of attention and sells good, there're always people who cannot stand this and start to react brainless, I believe it's called jealousy :lol:

Before listening myself I read some critics about Michael's album, they said nothing was good at all about the album. I find that total nonsense after listening for myself! What a great album it is! I didn't expect it to be this good. Some people like these reviewers only want to hear old mega hits like Thriller again in a new song and don't accept his music to change. I choose not to spoil the joy of listening to this album with the theories like jason malachi or other Michael's singing. I think others would be doing good to do the same.
I JUST OPENED IT!!!!!! AHHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED TO LISTEN!!!I will post my review in a moment, after I have thoroughly basked in all its glory I will say this about the cover picture though - I love it a lot. Looking at it is like a trip down memory lane It's like his whole life shown to us right here on paper <3 Beautiful.
