This is not about who Michael preferred but you have to admit that motive is an important part of this thing.
According to some believers, the reason why the doubt over the autheniticty of the vocals has been raised is because of the nephews' jealousy. The excuse is completely unfounded and made up, because MJ's fans feel the same the nephews feel: non-MJ's voice. And, as far as I know I don't see why MJ fans woould feel jaelousy. It's just tiring to see that the Jacksons are all put into the same basket and trashed all the time when they actually stood for Michael through difficult times just as much as all other Mike's true friends including the Cascios. Now, I don't see any reason why all of sudden the Cascios are flawless and the Jackson family not.

2 years later there seems to be no motive.
It's amusing how the situation is put upside down in this argument. Why don't you say "2 years later there seems to be no proof"? As for the motive, any musician would love to have Michael Jackson on his
curriculum vitae, it's not that hard to see what the motive is unless we deny that Michael Jackson is the King of Pop.

In the last few comments a few people has credited Cascio's being there for Michael when alive, being decent, kind and polite. So I think you need to ask yourself that what made those decent, kind and polite people that stood with Michael for 25 years through 2 allegations first being accused of being molested themselves and then accused of being a part of molestation on others would turn against Michael in just two days (song registration date) after this death ? Would you able to come up with any reason?
Well, this is not the first question to raise. The first question to raise is what made MJ's voice change so dramatically with so many copy-pastes from previous releases only on those 12 songs? When we first, instead of making up excuses, find out the true answer to this question, then we can move on and try to answer your question about what pushed Eddie to do such a thing. But, that decent guy, Eddie, the responsible one for the tracks, has been hiding and doesn't want to answer the question. So he seems not to care neither about the fan base nor about the (supposed) MJ's odd vocals, and la crème de la crème, there are fans defending him and making up excuses why he doesn't want to answer the questions.

Money? No. Family has been already independently wealthy , having 4 stores and a more than a million dollar house for decades. They still have the same stuff. And if they wanted money they had a lot more easier ways to get it such as write a book - just as Frank did.
Family? How about Eddie having his own money and earning him by himself? How about a couple of millions of dollars more? And I don't see why you answer in advance "no" to your own question only because the family has the money? You actually have no slightest idea whether he did it for more money or not yet you are jumping to conclusions.

Fame? No . Eddie is still the small time name who produces from his basement. Probably same goes for Porte. If he wanted to be a major producer that worked with major artists he could have just kept the job Michael got him in 2003 at Sony/ ATV as a producer. He didn't need to wait for Michael die and then cook up a scheme.
Again you are answering "no" to your own question basing your answer on actually not knowing at all the reasons. Well, let's talk about fame. What would have happened if those tracks hadn't been controversial? Don't you see that the reason why he can't count on fame is because his tracks have become INFAMOUS. So of course, it is easy to say afterwards he didn't seek fame. But when he was selling the tracks to SONY it is impossible to say that he didn't seek fame, we just don't know. So why answering "no" then?
ivy;3733274 said:
So why? what made one or more of them to do this and start that in 2 days of Michael's death?
And have you ever actually thought about the fact that the things haven't turned out the way they planned them to turn out? What if Eddie tried to use his "decency" to be believed about those tracks? It wouldn't be the first time in history to see a person with good intentions to make a mistake in his life and spoil the things. Have you ever wondered whether Eddie regrets to have sold those tracks, and that for him it's impossible to undo things by a simple click on a mouse?

Similarly look to Jason Malachi. Well he enjoyed his name being so mentioned by the fans and pulled the fans legs all that "I can't deny or confirm" and "it's a blessing and a curse" lines but what made him to be a part of it?
His capacity to imitate MJ and be a part of MJ's legacy even if not credited.
ivy;3733274 said:
? How much money can he get when Cascio's only got a few measly dollars (according to unconfirmed rumors)? Did Malachi got enough money to put his career and future on the line? You know that as a law enforcement officer if he's a part of the fraud and if it comes out he'll lose his job, his pension, his benefits and cannot work in law enforcement again.
Extra money and a dream come true to be on an MJ official album no matter what. As far as his job is concerned, if all the tangible traces are erased and there is no proof whatsoever, he doesn't risk to lose his job. By the way, don't you find it just amazing that there is no a single trace of proof? Wouldn't that just answer your own question about the risk of losing his job and benefits? Without proofs he can't lose anything.
ivy;3733274 said:
Fame? What fame? Still no one in the public knows him and it seems his music has shifted to "Christian Pop" now. That ain't mainstream.
It doesn't have to be fame. Nobody ever said that Jason Malachi sought fame for those songs. MJ was his idol. Some fans do silly things out of love for MJ. If there are Elvis Presley's fans soundalikes who tried to imitate Elvis's voice and sell their songs, I don't see why MJ's fans soundalikes would make an exception to the rule.
ivy;3733274 said:
How about the Executors? They have a cushy job and ranking in millions of dollars ( they are averaging $4 M a year each). Why would they risk that payday and their future as Executors?
Unlike Elvis's Estate, MJ's ones were fooled. It seems obvious by now.
ivy;3733274 said:
Honestly the only party that might have a motive is appears to be Sony with "more songs, more albums and more money" but they can't pull it of without the involvement and the payment to above people. That makes it unprofitable for Sony.
As far as SONY cover their asses, they don't care. They'll do legally clean business, fooled or not. Estate approved of the songs, SONY feel safe.
ivy;3733274 said:
what is the motive here? Seriously? And please do not reply with "I don't care it doesn't sound like Michael". We know what you hear, I'm a lot more interested to here about why you think this "fraud" happened according to you.
So you actually don't care whether it sounds MJ or not? Well, as I said earlier, when you manage --without making up excuses-- to answer the most important question, which is "why don't we recognize MJ's voice", only then we can try to underqtand what pushed those people to sell those tracks. I don't understand why you are focusing on the subsidiary question --why supposed fraud-- when the biggest issue that we have is "what happened to the voice"? It is completely logical that MJ fans might not care about "why fraud?", but much more about "why such an odd voice?".
Finally, we come back to the initial problem, the one who detains the key, the one that you portrayed as "decent", well he's been hiding. So where is his decency now to answer the fans' questions about their idol?
