Part II

Those breath-like noises are pretty much nonexistent on Monster, which reinforces the statements that it may have initially been a slower song,
Might be slower, but not a ballad. The song INVINCIBLE isn't that fast, yet it has "dahs" all over it.

these breath-like noises are heard all throughout Breaking News, whether they're copy and pasted, or did by someone else, you can't deny they aren't there.
I am not denying them on Breaking News. Here is what is bugging me actually. When I first heard it, I was ready to believe it was MJ, but the voice timbre wasn't convincing at all. I had never doubted any other MJ's song in the past, and here for the first time I wasn't comfortable. Why?
-the "dahs" were timidly there in the background (possibly copy-pasted from other songs) rather than after some lines that the trained ear expected.
-the usual husk was absent
-the voice timbre was lower than usual and not as powerful as usual
-the way some sentences are pronounced/sung sounded awfully not Michael (for example:
They could put around the world today
He wanna' write my obituary). I have impression that the singer had so much pain in trying to sing that line, almost as if the singer wasn't an English speaker... or that he was not used to sing that fast! (Which is completely contradicting with songs such as "SHOUT" in which Michael had no difficulties in almost rapping the whole song).
All in all I stayed perplexed and thought, this is probably due to many different reasons such as "demo", "butchering the original", etc, etc.
But then again, I just couldn't believe that I couldn't recognize Michael even though I instantly recognize his voice in any, absolutely any environment in all previous songs that he has sung. So, I decided to wait and to listen to the eagerly awaited "Monster" track.
Again, on that track, the same voice timbre, no power, no husk, no "dahs"! No spark! (only few timid copy-pasted probably).
When I was listening to it I had impression that I was drinking sparkling water without bubbles. Something that never happened in any MJ's song or demo or even few notes in his garden, on the phone or on the street.

So, I'm not sure what relevance the absence of "chaah's" hold here.
The relevance is that MJ's print, his own way of singing, his own school is completely absent on those Cascio tracks. Set aside his voice timbre, husk, power, difficulties to sing fast, lyrics, etc, etc. the "dahs" or "chahs" were as deafly absent as bubbles from sparkling water!
Here are some lines of the song "MONSTER":
Ahhhh! Ha! Aouw! (so far so expected)
You can look at them coming out the walls
You can look at them climbing out the bushes
You can find them when the letter’s bout to fall
He be waiting with his camera on focus
Everywhere you seem to turn
there’s a monster
When you look up in the air there’s a monster
Paparazzi got you scared like a monster, monster,
monster
(Too bad)
Oh oh Hollywood it’s got you jumping like you should
(Too bad)
It’s got you bouncing off the wall
It’s got you drunk enough to fall
(Too bad)
Oh oh Hollywood just look in the mirror
And tell me you like
Don’t you, don’t you like it
Aouw! (copy-pasted)
In the first three verses there is no not single "DAH!". Compared to the first three songs in INVINCIBLE, I do not recognize our MJ in this song, sorry.
Now, observe this. Singers who are not imitating Michael, but who are influenced by Michael are not focusing on sounding like Michael, but on adopting MJ's style in the songs. They have learned from MJ's school how to use MJ's brand. For example, Ne-Yo understood this well, listen:
ONE IN A MILLION
Jet setter
hhhh
Go getter
hhh
Nothing better
unhh
Call me Mr. been there done that
Top model chick to your every day hood rat
Less than all but more than a few
But I've never met one like you
Dah! Been all over the world
Dah!
Done a little bit of everything
Little bit of everywhere
With a little bit of everyone
uhha!
All the girls I've been with
Things I've seen it takes much to impress
But sure enough you go it makes your soul stand up from all the rest
I can be in love
ah!
But I just don't know
ah! chah!
Baby one thing is for certain
ah!
Whatever you do it's working
All the girls don't matter
In your presence can't do what you do
dah!
There's a million girls around but I don't see no one but you
ah!

This is amazing. Why do I recognize MJ (not his voice, but his style) in a Ne-Yo song sung by Ne-Yo, and not an MJ style in supposedly MJ's own song?
I believe that the imposter focused so much in trying to sound like Michael that he just forgot the little "dahs" or "chahs" or that he wasn't able to do two things in the same time: voice timbre and detailed singing style. Obviously they called producers to make it more Michaelish by copy-pasting the aoows and huhs and dahs here and there or in the backgroud.
Those "dahs" represent bubbles in sparkling water. So far, since Michael's posthumous album was released I've been "drinking" flat water and SONY wants to make me believe that I am drinking sparkling water only because of the label on the bottle.
That was my point of those "dahs" being relevant. The trained ear hoplessly expects to hear them as usual after at least some lines. In "Monster" in three entire verses, there is not a single "dah"! It's flat.
....love this.
