I have been sitting on the fence for a while on this one.
My feelings change everyday i.e. I try to ignore all the comments made on this forum and just listen to the CD and enjoy it believing it is Michael singing. Some days it works and I really enjoy the tracks, however there are times when I just can't hear Michael singing and I start questioning the vocals. It sometimes puts me off listening to those tracks. Anyways this is what I believe has happened in the end.
- At the time of Michaels death there were apparently hundreds of songs that could be released. Plenty of articles on google.
- When Michael Died Latoya took Michael's hard drive with all the tracks:

- Michael was producing tracks at the Cascios between 06-08. (There were news articles at the time + his kids and 50 cent confirmed this).
- The Cascio recording studio would not have been of the highest quality.
- The songs were demos and not finished.
- Sony made a contract with the Estate for 10 projects in 7 years.. but NOT 10 albums....wern't there over 100 unreleased songs that could be released?
- Jason Malachi has denied being the possible impostor
- The music was verified by 5-10 producers that worked with Michael Jackson for over 20 years.
- The music was verified by 2 Professionals (1 Hired by the estate and 1 hired by Sony)
- If this is a conspiracy... It would have to be pretty big for example: The Cascio's long time friends of Michael would have to be traitors. Furthermore there would be a lot of loose ends to tie up by Sony.
- Why would Sony risk all of this by hiring an impostor? They want the album to be successful just as much as we do.
- Teddy Riley the other day said that there is only material for another couple of albums i.e. roughly 20 songs.
Based on all the above my conclusion is... The Jackson family have the majority of the tracks and Sony have had to use the Cascio tracks as fillers on the album because they simply do not have enough material. If they did have enough tracks, why wouldn't they just replace the cascio tracks with 3 other songs before the album was released after all the controversy regarding Breaking News.
I believe there are about 9 Cascio tracks in total? Thats 3 per album. Sony have also spaced out these tracks on the first album i.e. tracks 3, 5 and 7. Coincidence?
Finally, I think the Jackson family has had a massive outcry because they do not want these tracks released.
I think it is Michaels voice on the tracks but in real demo form. The voice has been processed to the point where it is almost unrecognizable and here we are. These 3 tracks should never have been released whether it is or isn't Michael.
Such a shame.
