It's because Sony wants to confuse people. When I first heard KYHU, I was confused.
"Keep your head up" and "All I need" are slower songs and much easier to imitate.
In addition to strange lead vocals, there is another thing that is completely bugging me.
I can understand that some songs have similar rhythms or that have been written on the same beats as some older songs such as "Who is it" reminding of "Billie Jean" or "Hollywood Tonight" based on Billie Jean beats, but what I can't understand is the use --not of simple beats-- but completed songs:
"Earth song" on "Keep your head up"
"Heaven can wait" on "Water"
"You are not alone" on "All I need"
"Soldier boy" reminds of "They don't care about us" apparently (guitars? rhythm?)
Now, set aside the use of those songs, what I also find strange is the lyrics in general. If you closely read all the lyrics on the Cascio songs, there isn't a single original theme, is there?
Now, you can tell that the same for older songs and be led to seemingly logical follow-up:
Leave me alone -> Why you wanna trip on me -> Money/Tabloid Junkie/2BAD -> Privacy/Threatened -> Breaking News/Monster
Man in the mirror -> Heal the world -> Earth song -> Cry/The lost children -> Keep your head up
But if I look back to the seemingly logical thread leading to
Breaking News/Monster and when I read/hear the lyrics, they seem to be a collection of all previous things (which never happened before), almost as a coined and stereotyped lyrics from the previous songs. As if someone was asked to use MJ's kind of style. I must say that I am extremely sensitive when it comes to texts and lyrics. For example:
MONSTER
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
=THREATENED
He be waiting with his camera on focus
=PRIVACY
Everywhere you seem to turn there's a monster
When you look up in the air there's a monster
=THREATENED
Paparazzi got you scared like a monster, monster, monster
=PRIVACY
Too bad =2BAD
Oh-oh Hollywood, it's got you jumping like you should = ELISABETH I LOVE YOU
(Too bad)
It's got you bouncing off the walls = OFF THE WALL
It's got you drunk enough to fall
(Oh oh) Hollywood just look in the mirror
And tell me you like, don't you, don't you like it = MAN IN THE MIRROR/GHOSTS
He's coming at ya, coming at ya rather too fast = THREATENED
Mama say, mama got you in a zig zag
= WANNA BE STARTIN' SOMETHIN'
And you're running
And you're running just to escape it =
XSCAPE
But they're gunning for the money so they fake it =
MONEY
...
They eat your soul
(like a vegetable) = WANNA BE STARTIN' SOMETHIN'
BREAKING NEWS
Everybody wanting a piece of Michael Jackson
Reporters stalking the moves of Michael Jackson = LEAVE ME ALONE/WHY YOU WANNA TRIP ON ME
Just when you thought he was done
He comes to give it again
=
WATCH 2:16 to 2:19 YOU'LL UNDERSTAND:
[youtube]FhbJ8I77kqs[/youtube]
They could put around the world today
He wanna' write my obituary
= (see my siggy)
No matter what, you just wanna' read it again
No matter what, you just wanna' feed it again = TABLOID JUNKIE
Why is it strange that I would fall in love? (fall in love)
Who is that boogie man your thinkin' of? (thinkin' of)
Or am I crazy cause I just indulged? (in love?)
This is bre-breaking news
This is bre-breaking news
=
XSCAPE/TABLOID JUNKIE
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP
= ATTEMPT TO WRITE ORIGINAL LYRICS, MICHAELSQUE.
She's lookin for a job and a finer place to stay,
She's lookin for the hope in the empty promising,
She's workin two jobs, keepin alive,
She works in a restaurant night and day
She waits her life away
She wipes the tears away
= DOESN'T SOUND MICHAEL JACKSON STYLE AT ALL: she, she, she, she, she,... combined with quite poor style (do you work a job?)
She cries inside every time she feels this way,
And she’s dying inside every time her
baby cries, no =
CRY
=
AGAIN: she, she, she,... poor!
Keepin your head up to the sky,
Keepin your mind just stay alive,
Keepin your wings so we can fly,
(Keep your head up tonight)
= KEEP THE FAITH/CRY in a much poorer style. After she, she, she, you have keepin, keepin, keepin,... It's too much!
Keepin your head up to the sky,
And we can just rise up tell me now,
Gimme your wings so we can fly,
= R. KELLYESQUE, I BELIEVE I CAN FLY/CRY
Killing up the life of the birds in the trees
And we’re sucking up the air in the earth from under me,
(It’s never too late)
= POOR! False slang. EARTH SONG/HEAL THE WORLD
I can’t even breathe (to see) I can’t even see,
(Oh keep) Keep your head up don’t give up today,
How long can we wait?
I wish that love would come today
= EARTH SONG IN MUCH POORER STATE
All you need is love, tell you Im always comin soon,= BEATLES?
And all you need is just a moment, won’t it do,
Keep your head up
Everybody say the time is borrowed
And hanging down your head just ain’t no good =
"JUST AIN't NO GOOD"? HOW POOR!
And if you dance and rise above tomorrow
(Give it a chance)
Just give yourself a chance, find the circumstance,
= SEE MY SIGGY! Chance + circumstance, apart the rhyme, I don't see why would you even write anything like that in the same line!
Rise and do it again, = DO WHAT?
...
What about love again
What about love again
= EARTH SONG
.....
(Gonna shine, must fly, gonna rise
gonna rise today! today!) = GONNA MAKE A CHANGE TODAY = MAN IN THE MIRROR
Although Michael came back with some same themes, he never compiled lyrics from his previous songs. He always wrote quite different lyrics, and at least the style, despite some slang words was much higher than the lyrics on the Cascio songs. They sound so stereotyped, poor and empty as a shell.
Wait, no? Wait, there?"
