Michael - The Great Album Debate

I see that Damien Shields is reporting a recent wedding:


'Today it was confirmed that James Porte – co-writer of twelve controversial songs sold to Sony Music as ‘Michael Jackson’ recordings in 2010 – married collaborative partner Eddie Cascio’s sister, Marie-Nicole Cascio, over the weekend.'

Austin Brown, Rebbie and Frank Cascio

So sad to see Austin Brown & Rebbie at the event. I always respected Rebbie, until now. Hanging out with the traitors. Who's next Arvizo-Robson wedding to attend? Disgusting!
 
^She's also close friends with Stacy Brown, so it fits the pattern...

Guess Porte can afford a fancy wedding with all the money he got for his fake tracks. Pics on Damien's site also show Porte striking a MJ pose and a video of Dominic Cascio performing Billie Jean. Ugh...
 
Just wanted to say that i recently listened to the tracks again, and they are still horrible. :lol:
I mean, the people who are believing that it is Michael on BN, KYHU and Monster, have to hear Fall In Love and Soldier Boy. And if they are still believing that this is Michael's voice, then they have some serious problems.
I swear, i almost threw up by hearing Jason's girly voice on Fall In Love.

So am I and I want the scandal to be exposed Milli Vanilli-style. I have ZERO doubt that the Cascio songs feature very little if any Michael vocals other than insertions (and certainly not any lead vocal). At first I thought it was just some fans causing trouble but then all the comparisons made it undeniable. Cascio/Porte pulled a fast one on the estate and Sony by hiring Malachi to impersonate the King. I'd like to see Sony sue Cascio/Porte for fraud.
 
Isn't that fan law suit still out there? Maybe something will happen when that goes to court. That should make people who are so concerned with this happy.

I am. It's kind of been talked and debated to death though at this point. Maybe everyone is just taking a breather for a while. Hoping for the best with the lawsuit.
 
Man, did you listen to those unreleased cascio songs? All of them sound similar and awful. Like junk that I don't even want to listen again. I've treasured Michael 's voice all my life but these songs I'm not bothered to. I think that is proof for me. These songs should have never been released.
 
The Casico Tracks | Another Look

The Casico Tracks | Another Look

Okay so, I know that this is a touchy subject but I just wanted to take a second to have a look at the tracks.

If you're new here and you still aren't aware, the tracks in question are:

  • Keep Your Head Up
  • Monster
  • Breaking News
These three tracks were released on the 2010 album, "Michael". They stirred up quite a bit of controversy about the legitimacy of them. Many people still believe that the tracks are Michael and are just heavily edited. However, I believe that the tracks contain the vocals of Jason Malachi and not Michael Jackson. This is all but 100% confirmed as far as I am concerned due to the many comments by artists that worked on the album, Jason Malachi and even Sony Records themselves.

What Sony and even the Estate did by adding these fake tracks on to the album and lying was absolutely disgusting and wrong. This post is in no way denying that fact, but it also isn't about that. This discussion is created to actually have a look at the songs themselves, not that they were faked, but the actual quality of the tracks.

I personally believe that all three tracks were written by Michael Jackson and maybe even a super rough demo was recorded, whether that be one of Michael's famous cassette acapella demos or a rough guide vocal demo. However, as far as I am aware, that has not been confirmed, so take it completely as my opinion.

When it comes to the album as a whole, I think it's a great album and the finished tracks capture Michael's sound magnificently. As for the Casico tracks themselves, I can say the same again. I personally like them, again I think they capture Michael's style and Michael's sound amazingly. Of course I would have much preferred a 7 track album, without faux songs but I don't dislike the tracks at all, I dislike the circumstances they were created for and the way they were sold, the tracks themselves, I don't mind at all.

What is your opinion on the tracks themselves?


Thanks,

Sure...MJ the biggest star in the world, contacted a friggin' impersonator to work with him.
MJ said NO to PHARRELL but sure, he contacted MALACHI to work together.
 
Hollywood Tonight, Behind The Mask, Best of Joy, Much Too Soon.

All tracks I enjoy, immensely! That's a testament to Michael... I personally don't like Invincible so those tracks and the original versions on Xscape (except for the re-done version of Love Never Felt...That's a great track) remind me of how great Michael was.

Best of Joy is quite emotiove
 
Hopefully one day there will be some consequences for them when it comes to this. I think a lot of fans have not forgotten.
 
Alot people haven't forgot. until they take those tracks off. but they will still be remember even then. it's been 11 years since that album dropped and still on it. smh. i feel bad for new fans.

if they can take those 3 tracks off. we will be happy campers.
 
Re: The possible truth behind the "Cascio Tracks"

Bobi MJ said:
I think everyone here knows what are the Cascio Tracks. And we the fans hate them, but why? In 2007 TMZ made an article about a song called "Mamacita" and they say that is made by Jackson which is not true, it's made by Jason Malachi. But then Jason finds out TMZ thinks is MJ and then he contacted his attorney to tell TMZ that is him, not Michael. And since this story, Jason's career rises a lot and even to the point Michael Jackson himself CONTACTED Jason's manager to ask if Jason wants to do something together. And here we can start to theorizing... So, we know the Cascio tracks are recorded in 2007 and at the SAME time, Michael contacted Malachi's manager to do somethin' together. I think Jason recorded these 12 tracks for Michael but if Michael liked it or not, we never knew. And If you listen to Cascio Tracks, the way Jason is singing is different from all of his other songs and the Cascio Tracks are the only Jason's song that has Michael sounds like grunts and etc... So, what you guys think about this topic???

Jason recorded those vocals in 2010. Some of the songs didn't even exist in 2007. They wrote majority of those 12 songs after MJ died.
 
I actually really like Breaking News. It's got a great beat. Lyrics aren't great. When you sit and think about it, the fact 3 fake songs were included is absolutely shocking and Sony should have been held accountable.
 
next month will mark the 10th anniversary of the Breaking News premiere.

how will you guys celebrate that?

Not forgotten. Just don't care. Personally, I didn't care that much at the time, to be perfectly honest. Seven out of the ten songs on the "Michael" album are quite good. Not as good as they would have been if MJ had finished them and released them himself, but we can say that for any of the posthumous songs that have been released, for that matter. I don't think Sony or the Estate will lose the class action being brought, over the Cascio songs.....I just don't.

I'd like to see a hybrid album released at some stage in the future, with the strongest tracks from Invincible and Michael on it, plus maybe four "new" songs, such as Invincible out-takes or demos/unreleased tracks from the whole time period of 2000 - 2009. It could be called Invincible Michael, or Unbreakable Michael.....something like that.

I might play the Michael album and just skip the songs I don't like, the way I have done for the past ten years.
So that would be, Monster, Breaking News and Much Too Soon. I quite like Keep Your Head Up.

Think the issue is that MJ is not singing on three of the songs, not that they are not "quite good". I don't think fans should stop bringing attention to it. It's a disgrace that one of the greatest artist of all time has three fake songs on display as part of his discography. Once they apologise and remove the tracks I guess I'll move on. Even then still disgraceful money motivated behaviour on their part. I don't know if they will win or lose, still, I think that something should be tried.
