I'm not talking about just my posts. Literally everyone in here was against what the Jacksons were saying.
The majority of the posts you will find from before that Monday will consist of complaining about the Jacksons. You will find very few (if any at all) that even remotely suggest they are buying into what the Jacksons were saying.
I think people just genuinely dont think it sounds like him and that is the only thing that has influenced our opinion. We arent stupid.
People allways bring up 2000 Watts. 2000 Watts is completely different. The pronounciation of words is the same as Michael's. Thats the main problem with Breaking News, Monster and Keep Your Head Up, the way certain words are pronounced are not the way Michael would pronounce them.
If it was true that our opinions may have been influenced by rumours before hand, then how come that hasn't applied to songs like Much Too Soon or Do You Know Where Your Children Are?
As I mentioned before. I heard the snippets of DYKWYCA and Monster at around the same time. I wasnt aware that Monster was a Cascio track. I listened to the 'DYKWYCA' and got chills, the same chills you allways get when hearing an MJ song for the first time. Then I heard 'Monster' and I just thought...this isnt Michael. Then it was brought to my attention that it was another Cascio track afterwards.
Because those tracks aren't apart of the Cascio song collection....People may have been against the Jacksons, but that's because they never took it into consideration that these songs would be overproduced and overdubbed in order to fit todays standards of what hit records should be. Many just assumed "Oh it's Michael, they're classic, leave it that way", not considering that the sound of the equipment used in the initial setting would be dated, that comes across on records, and it's very noticeable when compared to today's music. Many of us heard a song that's produced just as normally as records of today are, then we remembered the statements coming from the Jackson's and put two and two together. And again, the fact that so many of us quoted the Jacksons statements after the song was streamed only adds to my initial belief.
And I strongly believe, some of us are calling these songs fake for asinine reasons. I can understand Breaking News, I even doubted it initially, but what's to doubt about Keep Your Head Up? Many people heard the ES ad-libs at the end and immediately wrote it off as fake. I haven't seen much said about the actual vocals on the song, and you can't tell me it's that Malachi lad, because the voices aren't even remotely similar, in many of the comparison videos they compare the vibrato, literally the end of every bar (lines in music) is the only thing on those videos. Instead of comparing the lines of the song, parts of the verse, or anything, it's the end of every line. Unless they invented some new "Sound like Michael Jackson Autotune" how can anyone say that's who it is?
But again, I'm not trying to rile you up, and forgive me if I have. I'm just speaking on what I've seen and the backlash that happened after BN was released and the many, many quotes of the Jackson family posted by members of our community. But I don't want this to explode into something it isn't. So if it's fine with you, I'll just agree to disagree.
