Sony admits that posthumous Michael Jackson album, 'Michael', does not actually feature the King of Pop at all
Sony has admitted that the songs on the album 'Michael', which was released posthumously in 2010, were fake. The three songs in the album, which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales rising up to 228,000 units ('Breaking News', 'Keep Your Head Up', and 'Monster'), were speculated to have been "imitations" of the original Michael Jackson tracks.
Fan Vera Sarova allegedly stated that the songs on the album were actually sung by Jason Malachi. The authenticity of the songs, allegedly written by Michael's longtime friend, Eddie Cascio and James Porte, was very much in question when fans became suspicious as they lacked Michael's signature foot taps and finger snaps. Also, a 41-page report by a forensic audiologist, Doctor George Papcun, suggests that the songs were certainly not sung by the 'Thriller' singer. While Vera's claim was supported by Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson, it also sparked several controversies over the voice on the songs.
