Estate, Cascio and Porte Sued Over Three Songs on the "Michael" Album - Vera Senova Class Action

Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

honestly, I think Sony did an autenthicity check on these songs, so they will produce their own experts...the best idea for the estate would just be (and it always was) to just release the demos as they were and put all this mess to rest!
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

MJ was broke and he was mooching off, sorry if actual reality offends your sensibility. Oh, and he had been mooching off that Bahrain prince before.
-----------------+

is that why he left a million $ in cash for his mother with his accountant in the usa when he went to bahrain?yes defo broke! Or if you used the correct terminology it would be asset rich cash poor. but considering what was left for his mother in normal wealth terms that wasnt the case either.you obviously have no clue about the bahrain lawsuit unlike those who listened to the testimony provided by those who attended court. the only ones using and mooching was the prince of bahrain. had mj in the recorded studio right after his aquital for a record label that didnt exist. paid jermaine to get mj to come to bahrain. Told mj ill look after you come and rest when his motive was about getting mj to work on his non excistant label making mj feel inclined to work with him because he had offered mj lodgings etc.etc

and i guess you have no friends that you ever stay with because according to u staying with ppl you have been friends with for 20 years, at a time you have no real home and want to get away from the west coast is mooching. what a strange logic you have. well i guess according to your logic the cascios did alot of mooching off mj so i guess he was making it even!.

A lot of demos leaked. 7 unreleased songs + Monster demo. They are basically the same. Exact same vocals. If they do that they'll prove that they were wrong. Also Breaking News A cappella leaked and it is very damaging for their case.
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

^^^^^^^ Ah yes these family members with much to say but who take no action.

Yes. We speak of the family, that send open letters and kidnapped the mother and do every silly thing trying the executors look bad. And if they had something tangible in their hands against them, they do nothing?? Not imagine. I am very convinced to the contrary, the family has seen the musical autenthicity checks and they know they have no chance.

It will be interesting to know the content of the MJsongbook#1. If it contains vocals by other vocalist, such as Porte or no vocals at all, and there was the need and rush to register anything related to these songs to protect their ownership, why wouldn't they register the actual "MJ" vocals that they supposedly had.


Anyway, I would like to thank the person who decided to challenge the Cascios, Porte, etc. You're a hero, at least to some. Also, I hope that ATU's book is released before this goes to trial, if it goes to trial of course, so it could help plaintiff's camp prove their case.
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

Although I've said everything I had to say about the Cascio songs in the Debate Thread..

To me (I'm sure others disagree :) )Michaels vocals were a bit weaker the last years. I can hear it on 'Invincible'. Not less convincing or passionate, but different. Older maybe. Not that powerful to me.

The Cascio songs don't sound like that older Michael Jackson. Listen to them! They don't sound like an almost 50 jr old singer.

I don't care about The Cascio's, Estate, Branca,The Jacksons and who's on a picture with who...
..I want the songs off his discography, because it isnt' him.

This sounds too good to be true, but I still have hope and I'll stay openminded...Always..

Franky keep lying about MJ recording in their studio when he sold MJ tapes:

Again?? Seriously banned! You had some pretty disgusting hateful comments about Michael and his health in Great debate thread just to fit your agenda why songs doesn't sound anything like MJ, but you've been proven wrong with The Last Photoshoots documentary.

And about money thing, MJ had enough money to live on its own. He couldn't live the lifestyle he was living in the late '90 anymore, but he could have lived alone for sure just like he did before and after the Cascios. He was there mainly for the emotional support, not financial, because he thought of them as friends (and they were just that in 2007).

That's YOUR OPINION.
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

Guys don't argue about recording 12 songs in 2 days, it didn't happen. Based on actual research and evidence, testimony from numerous unbiased sources my main idea on these songs.

we know at least Soldier Boy existed and was copyrighted with nothing to do with Michael in 2005. Also the MJSongbook#1 is more than likely exactly that! Just a collection of lyrics, compositions and vocals by James Porte which were to be presented to Michael in London a twist on Eddies "Michael said we would finish the songs in London" line, which is also funny because apparently MJ got him to deleted all the work in progress stuff. This would explain why the songs sound like such bad MJ ripofffs, copying his old ideas and melodies. Eddie was writing the most "MJ" songs he could think of.

Michael is too kind and no doubt like he has with other even bigger stars in the past, agreed to do something at a later date. Whether or not he would work on this material is not known, Its more than likely MJ didn't even know song titles. Between June 2009 and May 2010 Jason Malachi recorded the leads for the songs more than likely during his "all a sudden cancel a show for a 3 week holiday" time. Stuart Brawley worked on the material from at least January 2010, remember this guy is a specialist in vocal manipulation. Also numerous sources quote him as the guy who passed out Xscape in 2002, this has been confirmed by people Michael knew. Brawley was blacklisted by MJ, Eddie needed MJ vocals and knew Brawley needed the cash and production credits.

As for vocals and the state they were recorded in, well the vocals were recorded perfectly fine, multiple takes of leads and 4+ layers of backing vocals all credited to "MJ".

Whatever you believe, we are more than likely going to get a glimpse into the MJSongbook#1 in the near future :)

It is only YOUR THEORY and should be presented as such.
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

Also Michael often had songwriters writing songs/demos for him Darkchild production team, Babyface... but he never recorded 12 full songs with complete leads, backgrounds and adlibs (multiple takes) in less than 3 months.

What else Michael Jackson could do staying in the basement for so long time? Maybe cleaning,cooking, doing laundry, doing errands?
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

Personally, I don't want anyone banned, not even people who claim as a fact that people are criminals when they have no proof. Which to me is more un-Michael-like than using the phrase "mooching off".

If Michael was broke then he was the richest broke person I've ever seen. I hope that I could be as broke as him one day
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

Earlier in this thread I gave a couple of examples of what kind of evidence and testimony could be provided here. For example if it's true what some people here say that despite of what the Estate statement said it's not true that all producers and musicologists agreed it was MJ and they testify about that then it's more than just expert testimony. Then that would show that the Estate knowingly lied and mislead the public in that statement. As we know there was also a strong protest from the family at the time and Tarryll wrote this back then:

BqJ8wQoIAAALiLv.jpg:large


If this is true and these people would testify to this then that's more than just expert testimony. This shows at the very least that there wasn't an unanimous agreement from all who were present that it was MJ. As the Estate of MJ why would you push something that is so controversial? If there are question marks over these vocals there should be more due diligence done until those questions are resolved. Not to rush them to get published while there are people with strong doubts about those vocals.

Also in a court case Eddie would be forced to present whatever evidence he has if he has some. If he doesn't then that too would be telling taken together with all the other facts.




I really find it shocking that some people can be so invested in taking sides with people around Michael that they end up throwing Michael under the bus to defend those people. Whether it's the Karen Faye fans or Cascio fans, or LMP or Debbie Rowe fans. Sometimes I wonder if these people are more fans of these people than Michael. Because they keep defending these people even at the price of throwing MJ under the bus. There was no need to to use words which are insulting to MJ such as "mooching off" the Cascios.

@Kreen. It's not like the Cascios never had their benefits from befriending Michael, so to say MJ "mooched them off" because he lived there for a couple of weeks is just out of line. For how many weeks, months and years the Cascios kept visiting Neverland and some of them basically lived there and invited all their friends and buddies there to have parties and what not? Michael also took them to trips and tours etc. But yeah, because MJ lived there for a few weeks let's insult him and say he "mooched them off" and somehow he owed something to the Cascios.



Why did the Robsons, Safechucks etc. become just that? You act like this never happened around Michael, when in reality it just keeps happening over and over again. (Not to say this is as bad as what the Robsons and Safechucks pulled - nothing tops that in terms of betrayal and evil.) I actually don't think the whole family is on it. They may defend their own, which is natural, but they may be mislead too. It's about Eddie, not the whole Cascio family. I'm not mad at the whole family. In fact, I think they seem nice people. But those songs are not MJ.

But why Michael couldn't stay with his biological family? He had 8 siblings, he had his own house in Encino, he had many adult nephews and nieces. IMO this discussion would not even exist if the recording had place in 3T houses. Maybe some would criticize the quality but there is no way that most of the posters in this thread would call 3T criminals. Jacksons are saints for them. Fans, who can not stand Cascios are jealous because they feel it could be them as regular family being so close to MJ. Plus they feel offended by this closeness because in their mind it's betrayal of the Jackson family. Again this is my opinion and I have the right to state it. My opinion is a lot less offensive then calling people a criminals using only the speculations as a facts. If you don't have the facts, waits for them. Also say "I don't know the facts yet and I state my opinion only".

Writing songs, recording songs, exactly what he did all of his life. And that's what he did. He worked on Thriller 25 album and was helping Eddie, Frank and James Porte with their album.

Most of us had no opinion of the Cascios one way or the other. If anything, they came across as good friends of MJ - in other words, positively. Other friends of MJ are generally also regarded positively on this board (Mac Culkin, Dave Dave, Wade before his betrayal).

I don't know if you have followed this board for a long time, but the general opinion about the Jacksons is very negative around here. So your theory about this discussion only existing because fans love the Jacksons and hate the Cascios, quite frankly makes no sense.

People's opinions about the Jacksons and the Cascios are largely irrelevant anyway. The reason this discussion exists boils down to one thing and one thing only: when we logged onto our computers on November 5, 2010, giddy with excitement to hear a new Michael Jackson song, we instead heard the voice of a twenty-something boyband reject. And then 11 times more on 11 other songs. Add to that the fact that none of the explanations for this add up and that no proof of even the tiniest bit of involvement from MJ with these songs has ever been shown. That's the reason we're still talking about this.

I think you should stop assuming about people. You do not know everyone here and their reasons. I have no pro-family or anti-Cascio agenda. In fact, in other threads I have been critical of many things Michael's family did, anyone can tell who knows my activities here. That does not mean they are wrong about everything. I happen to think they are right about the Cascio songs.

Nor am I jealous of the Cascio family. Why would I? I'd be the happiest if there were people in Michael's life who did not try to use him one way or another. I never criticized the Cascio family outside of this. In fact, in the very same comment you have just quoted in your comment I stated that I do not blame the whole family and I do not think they are all knowingly on it, other than believing and supporting their own son, just because he is their son. I even stated that to me they seem like nice people. But they too may be mislead. So no need to get personal and try to guess people's motives especially when there is nothing factual in support of your theories about people here.

My opinion about the songs has nothing to do with being partisan for the Jackson family or against the Cascios. If you support the songs for some kind of partisanship then that's your prerogative. Just do not project it onto others. But my opinion does not have to do with the Cascios or with the Jacksons. It only has to do with the fact that when I hear those songs I do not think those vocals are Michael's. Simple.
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

Majority of us in this thread has been critical of the Jackson Family in the not too distant past, like the AEG trial. I don't even know why people are still responding to his posts.
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

I remember the days leading up to Breaking News premiering, when there were articles about how the Jackson family said it wasn't Michael singing. Everyone on this forum thought the Jacksons were just trying to sabotage the release because they were angry about not being in charge of Michael's Estate. There was no one on this forum who believed the Jacksons from what I can remember, we were all still excited to hear some new MJ music. That all changed when Breaking News premiered and we heard for ourselves that this was not Michael Jackson singing. The Jackson family has no impact on my opinions regarding the Cascio tracks.
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

well, if that's your definition, ok, but then it perfectly fits the description of what happened in Barhein! l'm sure of course the Cascios were happy to have MJ over, which brings another question : why would people so nice to MJ, so loyal, so trustworthy, would then become money-obsessed backstabbers and criminals in an instant, and not one or two, but the WHOLE family (because they'd all have to be covering up for Eddie). None of you would betray MJ like this, and you don't even know him. So let's show restraint before we assume that a whole family of ACTUAL, beyond-reproach friends are a bunch of monsters.

Except, Michael didn't mooch off anyone in Bahrain. He was invited, and coexed into going by his brother. Who convinced him he'd be safe and unhounded there, which he was. Yet at the same time, the Bahrain's prince only motive for having Michael there, while under the guise of actually "caring about Michael" was to get Michael to record and work for him. Michael did this after feeling like he owed the man for providing him a place to stay with his kids out of the spotlight. By that definition, that isn't mooching. Michael is earning his stay. But he began to feel endowed to this man, and began to notice that this was all the guy wanted in the first place. And he left. Afterwards spending a lot of time traveling here and there and then ending up in Ireland before coming back to the US. A moocher, Michael was not.

A long with that even after hearing Breaking News, Monster & KYHU, I still defended these songs at one point. Even with All I Need, I was convinced it sounded enough like Michael that I just couldn't configure something like this actually happening. I defended these songs for a long time, in fact. Then I heard Burn Tonight, at that point, enough was enough. Then all the rest of the "demo's" leaked, I went back and listened to everything and knew it was all the same voice, and it wasn't Michael Jackson.

You have the right to talk about it. I don't think you have the right to call people criminals without knowing the facts. IMO you don't know the facts for the reasons. The way some fans acted toward Cascios can not be called different than bullying. I personally would never ever answer to people behaving like this and just would ignored them all the way. Next, there was no reason to deliver to Sony and the Estate all the tapes and documentations Cascios have in their possession. If I would be them (Eddie and the whole family) I would place everything in the safe and share it with the children and the world at least 30 years later. So the children could decide what to do with it. Plus the value would be a lot higher. It would be really stupid on Cascio and Porte part to sell Sony all the original tapes. Plus I know very well how most of the posters on this thread feel about Jacksons. I read their posts in other threads too. It's easy to see their happiness about any new Jacksons or Jackson5 releases. So of course I know how they feel about Jacksons.

This is very similar to what I experienced. The song that did it for me was Fall In Love.

Do you understand how the music industry works? As an artist, you need doubles sometimes triples or even more, of your material. You need access to acapellas, ad-lib takes, alternate lead takes, etc. And that goes for nearly every artist. And we always knew this was Michael's process, regardless of who he was working with. Yet, he ordered all of those extra versions of past songs to be destroyed because he was oh so satisfied with these 12 Cascio songs, yet still had the intention, according to Eddie, to continue working on them in London? Nothing adds up. Nothing.

Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense. Eddie's integrity is called into question here, there is no reason for him to hide the outtakes for some made up reason like "wanting to give it to the children 30 years on". If he wanted to give these songs to Michael's children then he would have given it to them and not to the Estate in the first place. Your theory simply doesn't make sense.

Did you read my post? Where you get an idea that anything was destroyed. From Tarryl? I thing Cascio would be very stupid telling Tarryl the true. Don't you think that he spent enough time with Michael and knew who he can trust or not.
 
Re: Estate, Cascio & Porte sued - Forensic Analysis says MJ is NOT singing the 3 songs on "MICHAEL"

Just a few quick points :

Anybody who denies that MJ was broke in 2007, well, I don't know what to tell you.

Anybody who assumes that MJ was, not just a great artist and a great man, but a perfect emanation of truth and purity to the point where to ascribe anyting less then perfect intentions and ethics to him is a sin and an heresy, well, again, I don't know what to tell you.

Regarding the issue at hand :

If a hoax was perpetrated, it CAN'T just be Eddie and Frank who are in on it in the Cascio family. The recordings supposedly happened in the family's home, as the mother was making spaghetti in the kitchen, and the father was listening to Frank Sinatra records in the living room (yes, that's my idea of how italian americans spend their days...) And the other, younger brother and sister were at home too for the duration. Do you think that the fact that freakin' MICHAEL JACKSON was recording their own son/brother's songs in the basement was never brought up in that household until the day Eddie sold the songs to Sony?

Either MJ DID record Eddie's songs, and the whole family obviously knew about it from day one, or he didn't, and they all started to lie the moment their son told them he had MJ songs to sell.

Of course, there is another possibilty : MJ DID record Eddie's songs, but that's not the vocals that ended up being sold to Sony.

Another big sticking point : so why would the Cascio family, or even just Eddie, all of a sudden, after YEARS of being adored by MJ as the best people he had ever met in his life, turn around and become betrayers of his art and his memory? The answer given by the anti-Cascio songs people is always "money". Ok, let's run with that : Eddie wanted money, even though his family is independently rich. But Eddie chose the single stupidest, most complicated, and most RISKY way to make money he could possibly imagine. Basically, he decided to risk a criminal record, and possibly fines and imprisonment, and complete and utter destruction of his reputation and prospects as an artist/producer, by trying to con some of the most powerful people in the music industry, and millions of fans, some of whom are bound to not be the most stable people in the world, into falling for a far-fetched, sure-to-be-found-out hoax that nobody in history had tried to pull on such a scale since Milli Vanilli.

Come on. If I were Eddie and wanted money, there were dozens of easier, much less risky ways to do the same thing. He could have sold some dirt about MJ to the Enquirer. He could have auctioned off a ton of MJ memorabilia. He could have gotten some network to produce a TV movie out of his relationship with MJ. He could have sold his songs to real artists through the MJ connection : "those are the songs MJ would have recorded in London!". He could have written a book about his time with MJ in the summer of 2007, and tried to sell a treatment of that story to an independant filmmaker. He could have parlayed his MJ connection into a better gig as a producer/writer.

But no. Instead, and despite having no criminal experience of any sort, he decided to enter the world of large-scale fraud, which had at the very least a 50-50 chance of blowing up in his face, and potentially tearing apart his family. He risked jail, fines, destroyed relationships with his family, unemployability for the rest of his life, constant hiding in public life and on the internet because of vengeful MJ fans, and he risked all that for money. Money he didn't need.

We will see in the future which theory was the closest to the facts. IMO your theory doesn't make sense. You will be disappointed if Cascio won't be criminal in the end and I will be disappointed if he really is. The difference between us (IMO) is that I would accept this if proven but I don't believe that you would accept any other outcome of this story than you wired in your head already. Am I right?

The fact that Eddie indeed believed MJ would work on the songs in London is, like, the only fact that we know for sure! We have confirmation from the engineer who prepared the tracks for London that that is exactly what Eddie told him : "those are songs that MJ will work on in London". It means that obviously MJ told him he was going to do that.

Of course it's entirely possible that MJ only said that to be nice, and would not in actuality have worked on the material. But the fact remains that Eddie thought those songs were London-bound, and he must have had some reason to believe that.
