this is the problem with john mcclain: since he thinks, he is the best producer in the world, he is the "mastermind" behind all of the current productions, meaning both overseeing but also taking part in production. that's why he was listed as "executive producer" in the "this is it" soundtrack.
instead of letting someone with actual talent revive the old song "this is it", for example the voice has such a touch of "80ies record", in terms of quality, a MUCH better job was done with "for all time" - which sounded like crap in the original but actually nice on the "25th anniversary" album of thriller.
john mcclain's record with michael jackson: "you are my life" and now "this is it" - and surely he'll do anything to be the executive producer for every single song on the coming album.
word is that sony is already pissed of by john mcclain's attitude, having to be involved in every creative detail - unlike john branca, who does what an executor should do: administrate the estate. john mcclain should leave the mixing, producing etc. to a real professional in the music industry, he should have that much respect for michael jackson. instead he sees this as a chance, to make his name an "industry standard"...
god help us.
its called a Signature! Halloween is my fave time of year!
