Who The Hell Is Eddie Cascio And James Porte?

[Arif Emirhan Alkan]

And why did they sell fake songs to the estate?

Eddie Cascio was Michael's friend but I don't know about the other one.

Iirc James Porte sang on the earliest versions of the Cascio tracks before Jason Malachi recorded them.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm probably forgetting more than I'm remembering about the whole situation lol.

What exactly does that even mean?

He saw him singing through the PVC pipes in the shower

It's something Eddie said when he was asked about the evidence of Michael singing the songs.

Eddie Cascio was a member of the Cascio family MJ was friends with starting in the 1980’s until his death. Eddie was one of the sons, and he was an amateur musician/producer who reportedly got MJ to record some of his songs when MJ lived for a few weeks at the family home on Jersey in 2007.

He recorded some music related stuff for 'For All Time' and vocals for WBBS 08 there iirc. That's all though. MJ didn't record any of Eddie's music.

I have a question, how can a song be "fake"?

If the vocals are not by Michael then its fake.

MJ couldn't choose friends as an adult at all. Taraborelli was right, everyone just wanted money or fame when they associated themselves with MJ. The Cascio'd just bided their time and waited for their shot to use his name.

This is what always happens when you are a rich and famous celebrity.

In the case of Michael Jackson, note also that even his own brothers wanted money or fame when they associated themselves with him (the 2001 MSG concerts are a clear example of that).

15 years since Michael Album.. newer fans can’t remember because they were to little
or not even born.. wow crazy how these songs damaged the legacy.

Thats why its important those who experienced what happened in 2010 share their experiences and knowledge. New fans need to know what happened and they need to know the songs are fake.

The good thing today is, we can say to the new fan:
"Look at the OFFICIAL MJ channels (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc.), every song or piece of music you'll find there is authentic!"

This is a step forward, in the right direction, taken in July 2022.

While I think Eddie Cascio is pretty much a lying weasel, I actually read Frank's book My Friend Michael several years ago, and it didn't seem like he was painting any kind of rosy portrait. He spoke about meeting Michael through his own father as a young child, and how that grew to MJ visiting the family at their home many times over the years. From 1999-2003, Frank worked as Michael's personal assistant, but in 2004 he and MJ came into conflict regarding some court issues, and didn't mend their friendship until 2007. Frank's book was released in 2011, and he did state his own personal belief that Michael recorded music with Eddie, but I haven't seen anything which details his current view, so he easily could've changed his mind.

What LaToya says her (at 9:39) about her being so naive because of the Jehova's Witnesses also applies to Michael I think, people really understimate this when they wonder why he attracted so many leeches:
