Okay, so you think it's a believable explanation that you've been given as to why they sound like Malachi? Why they happen to sound almost exactly like Malachi? Even down to the vibrato and the snorts? And also at the same time sounding like no other MJ track ever heard by anyone ever?
I've never heard Malachi "snort", so I don't understand what exactly you're attempting to get at. The vibrato isn't the same, it's similar in some instances, but it isn't the same, to me. Listen to a Malachi song, and then listen to these songs, the duration of vibrato on The Cascio tracks progress more than anything Malachi has sung (some blame this on the editing, but whatever), on a song like KYHU and All I Need, they also sound more natural as opposed to the forced one Malachi uses. Now suppose I just forgot about all of that and said it doesn't make a difference, how would I still dispute his own testimony and claims, in saying that he had nothing to do with the songs? I personally, can't.

Now, like you, I'm open minded on this, and I do appreciate the effort being put in by Pentum and others. But it takes more than comparison video's, theories and assumptions to come to a final conclusion, especially when you consider the legal aspects of this thing. None of this would be taken seriously in a court of law, as nothing in this thread has been objective so far. And with Malachi's own denial claims, my feeling that Michael is on these songs, for the most part, it's quite difficult for me to believe otherwise. But as I've said before, I'm open to being proved wrong.

One of the fundamental differences betwee the “believers” and the “doubters”, is that the doubters seem to hold michael Jackson to a higher standard, and have a higher opinion of him as a vocalist and a song writer, generally speaking.
Someone mentioned earlier that the doubters are putting mj on a pedestal (duh, welcome to the mjj FAN community) and we don’t take into account that he might have off days or sound different on a demo, etc.
Of COURSE mj has off days. Of course he sounds different live or on a demo than he does on a cd. But he was truly touched by god. That doesn’t change. he always, always, always sounds like michael Jackson, the blessed, gifted, once-in-a-lifetime superstar. That’s not an over-estimation, that’s just a fact.
I’ve listened to everything michael has ever graced with his voice and he has NEVER sounded like the voice on the cascio tracks. That’s the issue here.
Someone can interpret this as a "fan vs. fan" thing, which is actually forbidden here, thought I'd point that out. But what exactly do you mean? I, nor does any other believer, feel as if Michael was this average singer, which I feel, you're trying to imply. I personally feel Michael will forever be the greatest singer/songwriter/performer that this world will ever see, he's my idol, at the same time I also know he was a human being who suffered the same faults as everyone else, he got sick, he lost/gained weight, he had emotions. For a long time I felt as if he was the second coming of Christ himself, part of me still believes this, but he aged, I pointed out before with the WMA 2006 video, which featured a falsetto that I feel is identical to that on KYHU, that Michael wasn't always 100%, and these songs were done merely a year and a half after he went through a trial that literally robbed a piece of his spirit, a piece of himself, from him. Because I feel it may be him on these records, that doesn't mean I hold him in the same regard as Justin Timberlake, Usher, or Justin Bieber.
