WOW!!!!!!!!!
Will this foolishness never cease!!!!!!
SONY, pull these f…n’ fraudulent songs from the record already!!!!!!!
Are you in bed with these damn Cascio’s or something?
Is the real forensic investigation that needs to be conducted
Sony’s relationship with the Cascio’s?
Why else would a major corporation risk not only the legacy of one of it’s crown jewels
but the already questionable integrity & reputation of itself as an entertainment conglomerate?
& for what?
A handfull of sub par songs?
From some individuals who have, prior to now, never been known to have any musical succeses
on even a minor scale, let alone in a major playing field?
& I mean, let’s face it, authenticity issues notwithstanding,
this record has received a lukewarm response, at best
There are no overwhelming hordes of fan responses enraptured over the “hit factor” of this recording
Quite the contrary, in fact
The overwhelming public responses seems to be, that whether or not you think it’s MJ or not
Regarding the song…
Is it Hot or Not?

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!!!!!!!!

There are legions of fans crying out for the removal of the Cascio songs
Are there any posts crying out for the inclusion of the Cascio songs?
Is there a response somewhere, where some fan is begging for Sony to please
not remove the questionable songs from the record?
After all the Cascio’s have such a tremendous track record & an endless catalogue of hit records
that I’m sure that the other two recordings to be included on this album
are surely worth the risk of the potential loss of income that will surely be a result
of Michael’s extensive fan base feeling that they have been bamboozled, hood-winked, run amok

For the Cascio’s?

Let’s break it down
Michael Jackson holds the distinction of having the biggest selling album of all time
“Thriller”
You may have heard of it
& prior to that, he didn’t do too bad with a little record called “Off The Wall”
& He didn’t do too bad with “Bad” either
But I digress
Let me get to my point
These recordings are populated with songs written primarily by Michael Jackson himself
who, is not a bad songwriter
& the songs on these records that weren’t written by Michael
were usually written by some pretty well known songwriters, in their own right
You may be familiar with the names
Let’s see
“Off The Wall”
Paul McCartney
Stevie Wonder
Rod Temperton
David Foster
Carole Bayer Sager
Louis Johnson
All fairly accomplished writers, to say the least
& while there is that one Tom Bahler composed “She’s Out Of My Life”
A little research will turn up a few industry accomplishments for him as well

Wow
Imagine that…

Accomplishments,

Career History,

Track Record,

All atributes strangely missing from the Cascio camp
& yet Sony would choose to jeopardize the project to include their compositions, at so great a risk?
Curious…
Things that make you go hmmmm…

But moving on
“Thriller”
Again
Michael Jackson
Rod Temperton
Quincy Jones
James Ingram
Steve Porcaro
John Bettis
All known hit makers
I could go on & on, album by album, but you get the gist
Why would Sony take so great a risk given the mounting negative responses to these questionable tracks
Unless they somehow have a vested interest in the Cascio compositions
or are, perhaps, participants in the funds generated from their productions?
Doesn’t seem very likely
Not enough Zeros

Sabotage maybe…

There is a theory floating around that Sony is so desirous
of obtaining Michael’s share of the publishing catalogue that they are not above
intentionally devaluing MJ projects in an effort to force the estate to have to relinquish his share
of said assets in order to pay off his well publicized debts

Maybe that explains Sony’s insistence on leaving these questionable songs on the record
in spite of the risks & the overwhelming public out cry

Are there not enough songs to make a complete album without including the Cascio compositions?
If you visit michaeljackson.com you will find fan requests for songs that they would like
to be included on the record
Are these songs somehow not in alignment with Sony’s diabolical master plan?
Or are the Cascio songs just that great that they are “must haves”?
Obviously “Breaking News” isn’t
It’s been met with lackluster reviews

Or maybe they’re so convinced of the forensic analysis that they feel confident in releasing the songs
in spite of the avalanche of public opinion to the contrary
Here’s my take on the forensic evaluation process
As humans we can clearly hear that these songs contain Michael vocals, breaths, ad libs
& various other signature vocal nuances that are “lifted” from easily identifiable Michael recordings
& therein lies the flaw in a computerized analysis process
If a computer compares a passage from a prior MJ recording to that same breath or heee heee
that has been lifted & used in another recording
The computer will determine that it is a positive match
Whereas a human would be able to distinguish it
as simply a duplicated ad lib from “Earth Song” for example

So for Sony to want to disregard the opinions of Michael’s own family members & John McClain?
John McClain who was left with the daunting challenge of overseeing Michael’s estate
& preserving & propelling his legacy?
John McClain who has been Michael’s childhood friend from before they were even teenagers?
John McClain who was the architect behind making Janet Jackson an icon?
John McClain who put her with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, propelling them into superstardom?
John McClain who introduced Jimmy Iovine to a guy named Ted Fields & co-founded Interscope records?
John McClain who signed DeathRow Records & introduced the world to Snoop Dogg?
John McClain who made Dr Dre a household word?
John McClain who partnered Sting with Bryan Loren for his first single after leaving The Police?
John McClain who is the owner & designer of the creme de la creme of recording studio?
(Sony no longer owns or operates a recording facility)
John McClain who signed Floetry?
John McClain who successfully returned such veteran acts as Ron Isley & Barry White to chart topping status?
John McClain who is responsible for the Grammy Award winning collaboration between the legendary
musical talents of Burt Bacarach & the aforementioned Ron Isley for “Here I Am”?
John McClain the guitarist who played of various Motown sessions including “Mahogany”?
John McClain who was the musicsal director for the Sylvers?
John McClain who is responsible for far too many records to mention here?
Let’s see: “Player’s Club” Soundtrack featuring the Ice Cube Hit “We Be Clubbing”
Jeffrey Osborne, Atlantic Starr, Vesta Williams, New Kidz On The Block, Shanice Wilson, Randy Jackson?
That John McClain?
Listen if John McClain doesn’t think that it’s Michael Jackson singing on these damn songs
Then given his musical pedigree
I’d say it’s something to be taken very seriously
If in addition to John McClain’s opinion
Michael’s Mother, his childern, his brothers, sisters, nephews & his animals all don’t think it’s him singing

THEN WHY SONY, WHY???

WHY NOT REMOVE THE QUESTIONABLE SONGS???

ARE THESE CASCIO SONGS SO INCREDIBLE THAT THEY ARE ON PAR WITH “THRILLER”?
OR “THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL” OR SOME OTHER MONUMENTALLY IMPORTANT
EARTH-SHATTERING COMPOSITIONS, CRUCIAL TO THE GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC EXPERIENCE
SUCH THAT THEIR NON-INCLUSION WOULD BE A TRAGEDY OF EPIC PROPORTIONS???

SONY???

WHY RISK THE POTENTIAL SCANDAL & BACKLASH???

SONY???

WHAT IS THE TRUE NATURE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CASCIO’S???

SONY???

WHAT IS THE TRUE NATURE OF YOUR MOTIVATION???
