Re: Michael - The Great Album Debate (Cascio Controversy Thread)
HUH? Your paragraph doesnt make much sense but I'll try to respond to what I think you were trying to say....
When did Malachi say it wasnt him?
What do you mean they "sound like they were done"? All you've heard is the finished product. You havent heard the raw vocals, you havent heard how the songs sounded prior to Teddy Riley re-working them (and HE said they were NOT ready to be released in the condition he got them in) so....where are you getting this idea that the songs were "done"? WHat's blatantly obvious in the lyrics? Lyrics are lyrics, anyone can write them and to even further that argument, the lyrics of the casico tracks are a tired retread of better songs Michael has already released! Its not even original content!
And what are you talking about...ALL of the Casico tracks AND the Malachi tracks are waaaaaaaaay behind in production quality of any prior releases of Michael Jackson.
The statement from his manager, stating his client didn't sing a single note on the album. If you want to believe this statement wasn't on the behalf of Jason, be my guest, but that would be highly unlikely.
If you can't listen to a song, and tell it's incomplete then it's not much I can explain to you, unless you have experience in recording and producing music. Some of these songs, have the wrong over-dubbings, meaning, for example in a song like Stay, there's a over-dubbing for the line "in case you change your mind", it's incorrectly over-dubbed with the vocal from the last line, instead of doubling with "change your mind", it's over layered with "Say goodbye", it's an obvious mistake in the production.
Here's another, when certain lyrics don't seem to make sense, can be another sign the song had the intention's of being re-worked, "When you left with all your dreams, I couldn't say goodnight"? That whole line alone implies the intention of it being re-worded at a later date, certain wording may have been rearranged in later drafts of the song.
All I Need only has one complete verse, only thing that differs is the two lines in the second, then it begins to repeat.
Like I said, it may be difficult for you to understand, unless you have experience in recording, producing, and the mastering of vocals. And yes, while Malachi's own songs make be lacking the production that Michael's had, they're still completed songs, his vocals are properly mastered, there's no wrong over-dubs, and the songs are complete. For the life of me, I can't figure out why Sony would bring this guy in, only to half ass the production and send him on his way with a confidentiality agreement. Everything I just said is a plausible explanation regarding the authenticity of these recordings.
