His estate is pretty much dog Sh*t. I'm sure Michael wants those secret unreleased song released to the public but his estate is hanging unto them with no reason. My guess is their a backup plan if something goes wrong and they could release those if needed to get some extra cash.

I’ve always wanted a third posthumous album. Just grab some songs from the vault and release them as they are. There’s so many they could have chosen from and it doesn’t make any sense why they felt the need to fake the songs.

Fun Fact Best Of Joy was the last song Michael Jackson made in 2009

I listened to all 3 of these songs along with several others from the Michael album. Those 3 tracks are not him. There are a few differences, but the main one is the strained, breathy vibrato that's all over the imposters. Michael's vibrato was strong. Smooth. On albums, he never sounded like he was straining. That, and the imposter's voice was a slightly different timbre.

True MJ fans who have studied his voice for decades know that Monster is not him. And then when you listen to a Jason Malachi song, you clearly hear it's him.

This has been known among Michael fans. If you know Michael's discography then you'll spot the fake Michael songs easily.

We, MJ fans, have been fighting against the fraudsters for almost 12 years now. These three songs came from the same sessions, produced by MJ's longtime friend Eddie Cascio and his partner James Porte. These are all forgeries. This isn't a weak Michael Jackson vocal performance. This simply isn't Michael Jackson. His vibrato sounds totally different, there are no fingersnaps or foot stomps on the recordings, and even his dialect is different. I'm glad the songs are finally removed!

Absolutely. The first time I heard Breaking News, which was the first teaser off of the album, I was shocked. There are plenty of unreleased recordings where he’s not trying very hard or the lyrics are unfinished (e.g. ‘In the Back’ or ‘Fall Again’) but you can still clearly tell it’s him. Especially when you listen to how Jason Malichi sounds, the penny drops. He does a great impression that’s for sure - he can even do the signature screaming tone pretty well, which added to why it divided fans for many years.

The lawsuit initiated by Vera Serova brought some proofs. $ony was unable to demonstrate their authenticity, and were unable to provide the demos and a cappella recordings, contrary to their claims. On the contrary, Vera Serova's expert demonstrated that the voice and pronunciation did not match Michael's. The vibrato, in particular, is totally different and sounds like a goat. During his recordings, MJ snapped his fingers, tapped his hands and feet, and Bruce Swedien, his main sound engineer, set up a wooden podium so that his tapping would be amplified by a microphone directed to his feet during the recordings. The expert demonstrated that in the fake songs there are none. If you get the trial record you can read that $ony had to admit that there was a high probability that these songs were not sung by MJ but that they did not know who sang them (The fans know that it is jason malachi who sung). In clear, they are acknowledging things without really acknowledging them and clearing their name. MJ couldn't write these songs because he composed his songs vocally while recording them. As no demo exists with his voice it is the proof that he did not compose them. It is also important to say that even the MJ's family members have stated that this is not the voice of Michael Jackson.

Isn’t it just scary how people believe that he did sing those? Makes you think that even if the artist did pass their likeness can live on forever creating new material..

Glad that those 3 songs are finally removed. It’s obvious they are not sung by Michael Jackson. Shame that the estate are still not admitting liability though.

I wonder if parts of the songs are sung by MJ and maybe they were unfinished when he passed so someone else was brought in for overdubs? 🤔

There is also a rumor floating around that there are a few fake Anthony Fantano reviews on his channel and Logic was really the guy behind them.

Listening back to them, those 3 are absolutely not Michael Jackson. I am certain. It was a great impersonation though, I didn't notice until now.

It’s a shame to see that with how much material Michael produced made throughout his lifetime, we continue to get leftovers or half-assed releases since his death. It would be nice to see the estate celebrate his work through commercial releases such as Vinyls, Special Packages and even documentaries. Shame to see the low effort we have had since his death with only major releases such as Michael, Bad 25, Xscape and MJ One.

I was a huge mj fan at the time and I remember being shocked when I first heard the song Breaking News. It was clearly not him and I was shocked they really put that out under his name

While I agree with the statement of how Michael had a versatile voice, I must disagree on one thing. Michaels voice didn't really get worse as he got older. He simply wanted to go for a different style. With his last few albums, he wanted to have a more "Rough" sound to them, as in albums like "HIStory" and "Blood On The Dance Floor" a lot of a tracks had a more dark theme to them, as he was attempting to defend his legacy from many of the vicious rumors around him. For his last 2001 album, Invincible, he slightly alleviated from the Dark Tone, to bring back his 80s, happy voice to tracks like You Rock My World, Heaven Can Wait, Break of Dawn, and Speechless. However, there is still a hint of his dark tone in the album, with tracks like Privacy, Unbreakable, and Threatened. And after Invincible, he wanted to take the blend of the 2 themes even further, and continued making demos. But the problem with the fake tracks, is that, the vocals sound like Mike from the 80s. Mike had moved on from that style of singing as early as the 90s, and he wouldn't really bring it back. So Jason Malachi does a great impression of Mike, but only Mike in his Thriller and Bad Era.

I truly believe that if the facts were fake, then the vocalist (presumed Jason Malachi), was setup here. I heard somewhere that Michael would have the demos written for him to be sung by someone with his vocal timbre, or falsetto, or good impression. There’s tracks/uploads from even back to 2007 that were credited to Michael (like Mamacita) that appear to be demos of this ilk.

Funny enough when that album came out I was like this really doesn't sound like Mr Jackson but I interpreted that to be a figment my eleven year old conspiratorial mind unable to discern because of a 2010ish approach of producing an album without the usual genius gatekeeper of Michael Jackson albums (the man himself). I however held on to the conspiracy because of his mother's comments. I started producing music at 12 and today 10 years later its nice to see that I wasn't bugging and a listen quickly clarifies to someone with a trained ear that this is hardly Michael Jackson. The closest vocals that one might use as a reference point is the thriller 25th remixes or even songs like 2000 watts were the aged Michael voice can be heard.

I always thought those songs sounded weird too. Especially Breaking News like you said. I never pay much attention to posthumous releases anyway. But I will say the second posthumous MJ release was way better. will i am has the only new songs MJ was working on before he died and those are the ones I want to hear but he won't release them.

You could literally have a person who has barely listened to Michael Jackson listen to those 3 songs and they could identify that Michael didn’t sing them

Honestly with how often I've read about museums hiring people to make fake Picasso's & whatnot, it really wouldn't shock me to find a similar thing going on in the record industry

I thought this video was going to be about the Michael Jackson songs taken out of Sonic 3 in Sonic Origins, and I got excited.

I’d argue that “Monster” sounds super on point 3:56 onward, when he starts asking “Why?” a lot. It’s possible this part was the most fleshed out of the entire song when he died

producers put some of the real MJ adlibs during vocal comp to make these songs sound more real

The whys are sampled from Invincible, the intent was to make it sound like it was actually MJ singing it like adam said. If you listen closely you can notice the vibrato changing very rapidly between the "why" and "you"

Those 3 songs are Casio tracks, an album by Jason Malachi that was supposed to be auctioned as Michael Jackson unreleased songs. However, these three songs are most definitely not MJ. Jason Malachi is the singer of these 3 songs.

my mom bought me this cd when it came out, and i do vaguely remember hearing some songs and thinking it didn't sound like mj. wild.

This was an open and close case when Michael released years ago, in depth analysis has shown similarities between all 3 of those tracks and Jason Malachi's voice as contrasted with Michael Jackson's, particularly in the vibrato. The tracks are fake.

The Supermega clip in this video was the crossover I needed in my life

The way he over-enunciated "up OR the link to subscribe" 😂

ok after listening to Jason Malachi's songs, yeah I can tell it's his singing, especially the vibrato sounds exactly like him

If they have a debate over those songs people will stream those songs. I know its insane to say the jackson estate needs to hype up his back catalogue but its the only reasoning I can imagine behind it. He has a long and profitable back catalogue but its value very much hinges on streaming since he's been banned from many many stations in a lot of different regions since leaving neverland. If you can control the direction of comversation and boost the numbers the sale price of his catalogue would be a lot higher.

I didn't even know he was sick.

I recall liking keep your head up but yeah we knew the voice wasn't michaels and I also remember ad libs from like earth song being on it

Michael Jackson will always be a legend.

This is a topic that has been on debate for years! I'd recommend you to listen to the ''Bible'' album, where these tracks originated from! You can find it on KZread. Long story short, these songs were made by producer and composer Eddie Cascio supposedly with Michael on the year 2007. After Michael's passing, he sold three of these tracks to Sony for the posthumous release. Some years later, the album was sold on auction and later leaked to the public, so you can hear the rest of these 'suspicious' tracks and make your own conclusion.

The lawsuit initiated by Vera Serova brought the proofs. $ony was unable to demonstrate their authenticity, and were unable to provide the demos and a cappella recordings, contrary to their claims. On the contrary, Vera Serova's expert demonstrated that the voice and pronunciation did not match Michael's. The vibrato, in particular, is totally different and sounds like a goat. During his recordings, MJ snapped his fingers, tapped his hands and feet, and Bruce Swedien, his main sound engineer, set up a wooden podium so that his tapping would be amplified by a microphone directed to his feet during the recordings. The expert demonstrated that in the fake songs there are none. If you get the trial record you can read that $ony had to admit that there was a high probability that these songs were not sung by MJ but that they did not know who sang them (but the fans know that it was Jason malachi). In clear, they are acknowledging things without really acknowledging them and clearing their name. MJ couldn't write these songs because he composed his songs vocally while recording them. As no demo exists with his voice it is the proof that he did not compose them. It is also important to say that even the MJ's family members have stated that this is not the voice of Michael Jackson.

This is cool and everything but NMF tonight ?

Just go and listen to a Jason Malachi song, and then compare that to any acapella version of the three Cascio tracks from the "Michael" album and you'll hear the blatant similarities. It's Malachi on those "Michael" tracks.

HE'S BEEN STANDING THIS WHOLE TIME ????????

can we talk about that album artwork tho? Its uhhhh.. it's "not good" *explosion*

It be dope to see a michael jackson tier list

Thriller and Bad are S Tier, most definitely. His other albums? Left for interpretation. His post Quincy Collab albums are usually disjointed and long, and overly preachy, especially History, but had a few great tracks here and there.

People never hear of scratch tracks or know why engineers exist? Seems like an odd thing for a label to pull with an artist like that, but I also don't put anything past corporations.

I remember when the album came out and that's all that was under the comments for monster

i was 10 when i got that Michael posthumous album on cd release day. absolutely far from his best work but Monster is pretty catchy ngl.

The singer was Jason Malachi. He based his entire music "career" off sounding exactly like MJ, and a few of his songs ended up on that awful "Michael" album. People will hound him for the rest of his life for this.

Mr. Fantano, death grips is back onlinr

even famous painters have controversy over work which could be real or the perfect fake

That Supermega clip 🤣

Good video, Melon, but you didn't need to make fun of the new Origins tracks for Sonic 3 just because they had to replace them.

wow, just last week they re-released Sonic 3 (which had 2 tracks that were heavily rumored Michael worked on, also uncredited) which 2 tracks were removed! Michael's team is just not helping any rumors go down 😂 only up!

And because of this, now the album only has 7 tracks. Why couldn't they replace them with songs that Michael Jackson actually sang, or do what they did with the deluxe edition of Xscape? This Is It was already released on a compilation, but they could have added that as a bonus track. Alternately combine this with Xscape, and make one 15 track album. Also I believe I read that, because of this, they're not going to release anymore new albums.

Fun Fact, Jason Malachi is Logic's cousin! You can look up the song "Logic: Incarceration - featuring Jason Malachi".
