Over the years of reading MJ forums, I have heard the following, time and time again;]
"This new album better not have HMH, Xscape, or Another Day on it - I have already heard them!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"This new unheard track is not 100% Michael!!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"I'm going to boycott the album -as I want HMH, Xscape, and Another day on it!!"
"Sony is the Devil!"

I agree right there. I know how you feel. It's really ungrateful..
"I Want this, this and this. And.. I don't want this, this and this, and if this is on, I wouldn't buy it. Everything should be perfect..."
Ugh..
 
Michael made friends with Tommy Mottola years ago, he obviously accepted the man wasn't bad at all. I think you are the one that is stupid if you believe Sony made the biggest record deal in history with the jackson estate to try and ruin Michaels legacy. Do you really really believe Sony was racist back in 2001. Or could it be that Michael was getting bad advise off somebody.

Sony is not racist and never was. Sony is a company not one man. Tommy is racist and MJ said like I'm just saying. This is my point:

It is not problem if MJ is singing just 20% of the song like in Hold My Hand (I allways loved that song). The problem is that they (Teddy "The Finisher" Riley, some people in The Estete (not mr. McClain) and Sony) think that we are retarded and that they can put some Jason Malachi wannabe MJ on the official MJ release. They are really stupid if they think that we fans can not hear that that is not Michael Joseph Jackson singing the lead in this track. That is the problem!! And it is a big one. They could say liesten Michael did not finished this track, here is the demo version for free and not this crapy version on the album.
 
'Michael' will be released on Dec 15 in Finland.

... That is of course if there comes no delays due to obvious reasons.

Article by Roger Friedman says voice is certainly Michael.

The “Michael” album is not quite finalized, I’m told, but will have to be by Friday. Right now there are three “Cascio” tracks including “Breaking News.” Fans are complaining about “Breaking News” on the Jackson website because it doesn’t sound right to them. Folks, it really is Michael singing on that song. The finished version on the album may sound more like him. Part of the problem may have been in the uploading to the website.

“Breaking News” only streams through Sunday. On Monday, the first actual single is released–with Akon–called “Hold My Hand.”

I’ve heard a lot of the tracks, and I can tell you–they are by Michael. Michael’s nephew, Taryll Jackson, knows that, too. Despite his campaign to discredit the album, Taryll was around when the tracks were being put together. More will come out about this soon.

Conspiracy theories are fun, but buying into them is just going to cheat true Michael Jackson fans out of a great experience. “Michael” is shaping up to be a very solid project.

That Roger Friedman guy is also ignorant (I don't want to say different word). Before one week he was saying that is is fake, and TMZ too and now they suddenly changed their minds.

"Part of the problem may have been in the uploading to the website."
-Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha... what a ignorant moron..

"The finished version on the album may sound more like him."
-yes if they use real vocals instead this fake ones..
 
If there are only 3 Cascio tracks, that means that 7 to 9 songs (depending if they decide with 10 or 12 tracks) will be from other recording sessions which is good news. I'm glad they didn't use 5-6 Cascio tracks like originally thought.

Like I said, a big meeting happens today. This HAS to be figured out by weeks end because that is when the the tracklist must be set in stone. More info will be coming out soon on everything I'm told.

Some good news... I've heard that Hold My Hand is amazing and is much better than the leaked version of 2008. Michael sounds fantastic and this should make up for the negative response from Breaking News.
 
part of the problem might be the fake singer singing.

Yes. That Jason Malachi is not even a singer, the guy can't sing.. he is just voice impersonator (for some a real good one, for me a really bad one)..

Thank you smooth, you are the greatest. Keep informing us about that meeting. I think that 12 songs exists from Cascio sessions and only 5 were re-recorded for MICHAEL.

"If there are only 3 Cascio tracks, that means that 7 to 9 songs (depending if they decide with 10 or 12 tracks) will be from other recording sessions which is good news."
- I am sorry but that is not a good news.. 1 fake song or 3 fake songs it is same for me..

I'm really happy to hear Hold My Hand..
 
I will not believe Friedman anymore.

Thank you Smooth for the info.

smooth, are you employed at sony or is it just your source? i'm simply asking because i'd like to know what the overall atmosphere at sony music is. confusion, anger, or disinterest? is there complaints coming in?

can you give us some on that?

Although this attempt to fool us is a serious matter to me, on the other hand my "thirst" for recent unreleased material is big. So, if Sony cuts the bull**** and is willing to release a proper AUTHENTIC album, I WILL AGAIN PRE-ORDER (because I cancelled everything to see what happens)
 
Personally I think if they want to replace the fake songs and still want to keep the flow and release date. They need to contact Rodney Jerkins with a quickness and ask him to digitally remaster the replacements by the end of next week. And the album can be sent to be re-published during the following week if he can get that done. But my gut feeling is that they will simply yank the project. But I hope I'm wrong. Man. This really stinks. If they hadn't tried to be slick in the first place and hire an imposter, we wouldn't be in this fix. It's their own fault if they have to rush around and do everything at the last minute. I don't feel sorry for them one bit.

i think the chance that a lot more will leak is likely. if they really care and do have big meetings taking place today and the coming days. then they gonna have to put the tracks on the table, otherwise there is no need to talk about this matter. there is no place for tight secrecy any longer.

This is EASY to change. Just include ALL of the Will.I.Am tracks. Add another Jerkins song.

Thank you Smooth for the update.

They have other songs ready for release. Teddy "The Finisher" said in that interview that Sony choose his/Cascio tracks over tracks that McClain did with other producers. All they have to do is remove these fake songs and replace them with any other real songs that McClain did. That is the smartest move to do. That will give them +5 mil albums sold..

I agree. They're down to the wire now and can't have secrecy now IMO because they blew that option with this song mess.

Let them please add - "Weve Had Enough"

That alone would make the album worthy of buying as it's one of Michael's best tracks IMO.
 
Delighted to see that this farce of a song is no longer streaming on michaeljackson.com. I am glued to my computer since yesterday morning waiting to see some sort of response. I cannot understand how mainstream media are for the most part ignoring this. Maybe they are happy that it's such a crap track and so are going along with it.

I can not open it either.. I'm so happy now..
 
Maybe they haven't taken it off everwhere yet....hopefully they are they are in the process. I am in ireland.
 
Are you sure? It takes a while for the notice that it is no longer available to come up. It looks as if it is starting up for a while and then it says the video is no longer available, please check back soon.
 
Over the years of reading MJ forums, I have heard the following, time and time again;

"I don't like Invincible!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"Michael lip-syncs too much!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"Why does Michael not give us a new album!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"Why doesn't Michael tour any more/come to my country!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"Michael is being forced to do shows at the o2 an he doesn't want to!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"I want tickets for TII shows at the o2 - why can't I have them"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"I got my tickets for the o2 and there rubbish - I want better ones!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"The o2 shows have been delayed - it's a disgrace!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"Michael has died and he was murdered by AEG/Sony - I want my money back!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"A 'This is it' film is being released - I'm boycotting it as he wouldn't want it!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"Michael will not be shown on the TII film - they are using a 'double!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"Why are my tickets for the TII movie so expensive?"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"Why did Michael lip-sync so much in the movie!?"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"A new TII album is being released - I'm boycotting it as he wouldn't want it!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"When are we getting a new album with 'never heard before songs!?"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"This new album better not have HMH, Xscape, or Another Day on it - I have already heard them!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"This new unheard track is not 100% Michael!!"
"Sony is the Devil!"
"I'm going to boycott the album -as I want HMH, Xscape, and Another day on it!!"
"Sony is the Devil!"

Sometimes I wonder if some 'hard-core' MJ fans are really a sandwich short of a picnic! You couldn't make some of this stuff up!

With fans like these Michael, who needs enemies!?
