Re: Michael - The Great Album Debate (Only Go Here if You Want To Continue The Controversy)
I tried out Melodyne. It does mess up vibratos a bit, BUT not the same way that the Cascio tracks make it. It makes vibratos "tinny" and strange, but does not cause such a "goat vibrato" to occur.
Michael's pronunciation isn't always clear. He sometimes has a mumbling tone to his voice, it's very light and mellow, as heard in Much Too Soon, Don't Walk Away and Beautiful Girl. He can do powerful ad-libs, but his voice is slightly raspy when he does so.
Jason's pronunciation is extremely clear. I would imagine him singing "just making it clearer, and tell me you like don't you don't you like it" XD
Jason can only do the power ad-libs like MJ's, but he is not close. The ad-libs in Monster are very similar to MJ, but the pronunciation gives it away. His singing voice has an NY/NJ accent and he is based in Maryland which isn't that far off. Compare Breaking News' "Everybody wan-in" with Let Me Let Go's "When I finally started da-in"
The most creepiest observation I made is in KYHU:
"We're killing up the life in the birds and the trees,
and we're sucking up the air and the earth from under me"
Remember earlier this year when large flocks of birds died and fell from the sky? ...
And the second line. I always thought it was something about an earthquake or some disaster... When the earthquakes struck in New Zealand and Japan, that's exactly what I thought. It says "WE'RE killing up the birds, WE'RE sucking up the air" as if someone is doing that on purpose.
I don't really believe in conspiracies, but this is strange... I don't think Michael would have wrote a song with such a horrible message.
