I still can't believe what happened. It's beyond ridiculous. It's worse than my worst nightmare.
On Sunday, I expected to hear a "mindblowing" first single from the MICHAEL album, love it and be enthusiastic about the new album. Instead, we got a rough demo completed by imposers and/or computer. What a joke!
For people who are saying fans here are negative and hateful to Sony, I beg you to really see what's going on. It has nothing to do with hating Sony. I never hate Sony. I fully realize Sony is a for-profit business organization. Sony is not a charity. It's there to make money. Nothing wrong with it. What's so wrong is the leak of integrity in handling this project. I hope Sony would conduct an internal examination to investigate those who are involved with this project and ensure such fiasco will not happen again.
I don't mind an album of outtakes from the BAD, Dangerous, HIStory and Invincible session.
I don't mind an album with only demos.
I don't mind an album that sounds "dated".
But, I'm disgustted by an album with songs by imitators who are intentionnaly pass along as Michael Jackson. I don't see why some here think it is acceptable as long as there is 1% of Michael's vocal in the songs. No one is saying Michael has to be in both lead and background vocals.
A so-so posthumous album will not damage Michael's legacy. But, a fradulent posthumos album will taint Michael's legacy.
Why? Why Sony and the Estate allow this to happen? Is it because the pressure is too high? They are desperate to replicate Michael's past success?
I'm still very sad and emotionally drained.
