Quincy's input should not be overlooked. He assambled a marvelous team of session musicians and songwriters that helped Michael achieve the goals he set.
However, same as analogue, I feel 95% of reviewers downplay Michael's role in the creative processs and give all props to Quincy Jones. He deserves all the praise he gets - but no more than Michael. Sadly, majority of music fans and critics indeed consider Michael a brainless chicken, a pop star similar to Britney Spears, who only recorded what producers asked him to.
^^absolutely!
despite the ups and downs, being a Michael Jackson fan is an amazing journey that brings us closer to experience MAGIC in a world where it only exists in fairytales.
And what makes it even more special - the whole world around us misses out on this... the Best Of Joy.
When you don't recognize one's voice with your own ears, you can blame yourself for awhile and accept that the reason is probably the overprocessing, cheap microphone, low-quality studio, etc.
But, when you hear the second song which instinctively you simply do not recognize the voice on, you may probably again far-fetch it and try to accept that it is probably overprocessed or that the equipment was cheap, or whatever other reason may be.
When you hear yet a third song and have over and over questions about what you actually hear and at the same time you realize that you are not the only one who has exactly the same feeling, but that actually there are people who you never met and talked to and hear exactly the same as you, you realize that all the seemingly logical reasons such as overprocessing, cheap equipment, etc. were nothing else but excuses to yourself before even communicating with others.
You actually need guts to admit first to yourself that something is wrong with those tracks and only then share that opinion with others.
I just don't get how do doubters make lame excuses for what their ears hear --all but not Michael. Furthermore, set aside Jason Malachi, what would be doubters' interest at all to make up such an excuse? Do you think that doubters do not want to hear Michael on his album?
For your information, Jason Malachi was mentioned as the most probable impostor on those tracks, but if it is not him and if it is another impostor, for doubters it wouldn't make any difference because in any possible scenario we do not hear Michael and that is certainly not an excuse, that's our reality.
In regard to what is "without a doubt" Michael I do have doubts, only because seven of the songs on this album were in question by family/Rooney, but the only song mentioned by name was "Breaking News". Since Rooney, Taj J and "everyone in that room" were listening to these before they actually got out online (Randy J too? per his twitters?)I question every one that they don't list Michael for the vocals on.
No, like I said, I always felt it was Michael on these songs, with questionable filling. Don't attempt to alter my own thoughts.
.
It was the Estate/Sony which said it, Sony was included as the ones who hired said forensic specialists, so they're basically saying the same thing. The fact of the matter is, the results have yet to be shown, and these people Michael worked with have yet to come forward and say they listened to anything at all, or concluded who it was on the vocals. So how can fans believe such a thing actually transpired? Because the estate said so? It doesn't quite work that way. The Estate should provide evidence that it's Michael, since they "represent Michael himself", Michael wouldn't want his fans to remain in the dark about this matter. Yet that's exactly what the Estate/Sony is doing, they can openly lie, because they know nobody is going to do anything about it, The Jackson's still have pending court cases regarding wrongful death lawsuits and the like against AEG, none of which has been resolved, if a fan tried to sue, the case would be immediately thrown out, we're fans, what court will take us seriously as opposed to a major billion dollar record label? Not many, so it's easy to lie about things, knowing that most likely nothing will be done.
Fact is, there is 0% of proof that Michael is on these songs, there's also 0% of proof that he isn't. So until their is, people will continue to question them, and will continue to rightfully question an online statement. Especially when it's essentially easy to contact these people who they claim listened and concluded that it was Michael, it's easy to give out names of the Forensic analysts, and it's easy to take screenshot's of the results of the Forensic test and post them for the world to see. The fact that this hasn't been done yet, rightfully makes people wonder if any of it actually happened.
If you feel that we should just believe what they say, despite any proof of what they're saying as being true isn't in existence, as of yet, fine. It's your opinion, but that's the equivalent of penalizing some for a crime, just because it was said they did it, and not having to provide proof. This world would be a crazy place if everything was based on "he said/she said".
I'm not saying anything about the validity of the vocals, as I've never flat out said anything was "fake", but I do believe in this case, with this one song, something is up. But that's neither here nor there, but people aren't wrong for not believing "forensic analysis" and "those who worked with Michael", because as I said, nothing at the moment exists to prove that such analysis actually happened, and that those who worked with Michael had said anything regarding the Cascio songs, let alone the album.
Speaking of WBSS 2008, I just heard the remix again. Michael's background vocals in the beginning of the song does sound like recorded through a pipe or recorded with a lot of echo, may be the shower vocal booth effect?
But, I can still tell it's Michael Jackson. Michael's voice is just that distinctive. I never need to listen hard for Michael. Somtime, when I listen to the Jacksons at work. I don't pay 100% attention, I can still tell Michael sang background.
Even I pay 1000% attention, I still have trouble feeling Michael in the Cascio tracks.
Because Stay is not allowed to be shared freely on the internet.
I know that sometimes they use software that scans videos for copyrighted music, then it'd be removed.
BUMPER, a song like Xscape is different. It's older, and lots of people have uploaded it. They aren't as concerned with Xscape as they are these brand new tracks.
Let's also put it this way, a newer song is going to be easier for a bot to detect on youtube. They will be programmed to detect newer music rather than a song that's getting to be seven years old now.
BUMPER, read my post. You get my point? Web sheriff is going to have an easier time detecting Keep Your Head Up or Best Of Joy than Xscape or Heartbreaker or Heal The World.
You always felt it was Michael on these songs? You could have fooled me!
This has been posted for 2 months and still nothing done.Waveform or not,Youtube misses some videos.
Best of joy + lyrics
1 month without being taken down:

Also blocked in America.
Blocked in America, so???? Pentum is n Europe, not in America. His comparisons are removed from Europe.
In other words there is no single "best of joy" youtube video available in America?
Well if I'm understanding correctly, maybe I'm not, but the argument is that only the comparison video's are being removed, and the Cascio songs? And not the other songs on the album, if so, that isn't entirely true, nor does it really benefit the argument, if the other songs are being removed also. It then turns into more of a regional issue, than an "we got to keep this secret, take them down" issue.
And nope, all of the Best Of Joy video's are blocked, as well as Monster, Hollywood Tonight, BTM, and any other track from the album that hasn't been released as a single yet.
