*Just for the record* The Fake Michael Vocals are still allegations since it was hard to prove if they were really MJ or not (even though it clearly is NOT him), but it was apparently NOT "Jason Malachi" so take what I say about Jason this video with a grain of salt 😅 and look into the full case for yourself (if you really care that is...) Thanks for watching love you
I don’t get how Hollywood tonight got any energy. The mask was cool though but yeah, this one is the worst because a lot of it just isn’t him and all of the songs he didn’t release himself so there you go.
i still think it’s Jason cause it’s literally his exact same vocal profile, but again theres no real way to 100 percent for a fact prove it so ig its not worth dwelling on.
It’s not a bad album, the fans hate it because it was SOLD like a Michael Jackson original album, with original tracks that weren’t finished until then. Then Sony after 12 years finally admitted that the last 3 tracks and some vocals for several songs weren’t performed by Michael but by an impostor. This is one of those cases in which the album isn’t hated by the content but by the way it was sold, a total LIE.
@@cxsh_m0he never performed neither hold my hand, neither Hollywood tonight, nor best of joy, nor behind the mask, nor much too soon, nor i like the way you love me, nor i can't make it another day. Not a single song was performed live
@@francocastex8467he definitely did much too soon, another day, hold my hand.there’s a much too soon demo on here of just Michael and a guitar, the album version just added extra instruments in it. And another has had many demos that are def Michael and lenny confirmed it. The others though def not him. Going hollywood was apparently him too I guess
listen to the original demo of hollywood tonight. Cus it sounds like they put autotune on this one. the demo is pretty unfinished the beat and the vocals and the tone of the song is darker overall but you definetly recognize that its MJ. They also changed/censored the lyrics. they cut out the "because she's only 15" line. the original meaning of this song was an actual teenage girl trying anything to achieve her dreams of becoming a hollywood star, even being groomed into sleeping with creepy powerful men who promise her fame and riches in return.
@damme91 I mean...it was recorded a whole decade before it was offically released. It sounds better now than it did 15 years ago since the production is now retro.
The fact that some of the songs in this album that got me back into MJ music again a bit after the album was released, during a flight in a plane, weren’t even sung by him was one of the most backstabbing things I’ve experienced from an album 😭
It was made right after MJ passed, he had no involvement in making it and therefore doesn't have his signature style. And that's not even getting into how the producers used fake vocals on a couple of songs that MJ never sung and tried to pass it off as his. This album deserved to be criticized.
Take the three fake songs away and your left with a solid album. Shame what Sony did, they should have never released songs. It’s obvious it’s not MJ singing.
Hold My Hand was actually one of the only songs on the album that was finished in full before Michael’s death. The only songs on the album that aren’t Michael are Keep Your Head Up, Monster, and Breaking News.
@@king_nene101 Recorded as an Akon song from my understanding but Sony decided to also put it on Michael's album though it had already been released as an Akon song. They added a few more vocals but it was not an MJ song
I mean Michael isn’t a bad album I like all the songs i just wish they keep the original version and didn’t remix them. (I hate those fake impersonator songs tho 🤬)
Dude, this is the first video of you I watched. I thought you had like probably over 1 million but way less than I expected. You deserve more man, well edited and actually funny. New subscriber earned :)
No you’re wrong. That song was recorded for Richard Pryor’s comedy album in 1981 but didn’t end up making the album. Then he went back to work on it in 2009 until he passed
You should review Xscape next. The original versions vs remixed. Anyways love your vids man keep the work up. You’ll blow up soon if you put effort in man. Have a nice day bro!
Btw that cutoff on monster isn’t part of the original song. I have the original CD from 2010. That TH-cam version cuts of quite a bit of the song. I realized that happens in the official video for it on the Michael Jackson TH-cam channel.
I don’t consider this or Xscape “Michael Jackson albums” They are compilations of unreleased material (plus some fake material) that were finished by producers, compiled by the estate I think Xscape is definitely stronger. The song choices and the fact that they also included the original versions You gotta admire the track themselves for what they are.
And the original versions for "Hollywood Tonight" and "The Way You Love Me" are way better, in my opinion. Also, in early January, "Best Of Joy" had a third verse that was cut from the song due to an alleged copyright claim. If you look it up on YT, or go to my channel, you can hear the original uncut song.
Simple: most of the album remixes took the MJ Magic out of the songs. There was no love in releasing a bunch of random tracks, and the Cascio tracks helped none of it.
Mj didnt create this album, it was sony that tried to make a quick buck out of his death also 2 songs were sung by an impersonator. breaking news and keep your head up but if if its up to me i think best of joy and hold my hand are the best songs on the album
I respectfully disagree. I prefer the final version of behind the mask compared to the demo version on thriller. Mainly because it’s a lot more structured like a song plus that saxophone goes hard.
The reason why I hate the Michael album is because of the 3 songs Monster (my favorite), Breaking News, and Keep Your Head Up. They are good songs, but I found out they were fake and were removed off of streaming services. When I found out, I was so upset I never listened to the album again.
Listen to the demo of Hollywood tonight they took out a line after she's giving hot tricks to men just to get in she was told that was not clean saying "because she's only 15 changing the entire meaning of the song also they added autotune to Michael's voice. Lenny Kravitz did drums for another day but sony got rid of his drums also he really wanted another day on invincible but sony said that a rock song like another day didn't fit invincible. The hold my hand demo is available two of them leaked Michael actually heard about hold my hand leaking and was devastated. in the late 2000s jason malachi and Michael's long time friend frank Cascio made 12 tracks now known as the Cascio tracks these songs are rumored to be writer's demos michael never had the chance to record because of his untimely death so frank Cascio passed the tracks off to sony as michael
I missed the funk of michael. He stagnated in the 90s with the same ad libs, and rehashed beatbox percussion. Cry is basically stranger in moscow. And so on. He just lost his appetite after dangerous i feel.
iirc behind the mask on this album has different vocals from the thriller 40 version, since that version is just him singing over the original ymo version. the production for that was completely redone for the michael album version and the vocals were apparently taken from a quincy jones studio demo. hollywood's lead vocals have a ton of effects for some reason, iirc they're the same vocals from the original invincible era demo. the acapella for breaking news somehow leaked out years ago and you can really hear that it's not michael lmao
hey man great to see content like this!! Love the vid, man Im half way thru and it looks bad, but tell me this isnt the leave me alone album cos I loooove that track and video, so iconic hahahhaha great stuff as a kid of a mj megafan so I hadnt much choice but I dont know as much as you about this technical stuff! Cheers from Ireland
There were rumors almost as soon as the Michael album came out that some tracks, BREAKING NEWS, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND MONSTER, WERE SONG BY AN IMPERSONATOR JASON MALACHI. settled out of court AND those 3 tracks on the Michael album have been scrubbed from it entirely.
Okay, the only version of the song Hold My Hand I like is an early version without too much of the over-glorified pop sound. Link to that song here on youtube: th-cam.com/video/4PNWVSaTsiI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=A__X90v3dkuGEtqV
i think they used auto tune for hollywood tonight, thats why he sounds off. (and some more of those songs) imagine keep your head up was made by michael. (im pretty sure it was jason malachi)
I thought people regarded "Invincible" as MJ's worst album? "Michael" is pretty mid tho. Hollywood Tonight, Behind The Mask, Another Day, Best Of Joy, The Way You Love Me, and Hold My Hand are good songs, but I wouldn't rank them in the S-tier of MJ songs. Not talking about the other 3 songs since those ones aren't even MJ.
Invincible is regarded as MJs worse albums because it didn’t sell that well initially back in 2001. Aside from “butterflies” and “you rock my world” most people kinda forgot about it but last year it resurfaced because of “heaven can wait” and people have it a second chance, now it’s considered one of MJs better albums and rightfully so.
To be fair to Breaking News if didn't have lyrics in the 3rd person, Britney Spears' legal team (her dad due to the conservativeship) would have gone after MJ's estate. Breaking News is pretty much Piece of Me from Britney's Blackout.
Every song's demo is leaked and uploaded on TH-cam. You should check them, and you'll get the point of fans. Maybe not every one of them, but still a lot of them. Plus, you forgot the deleted 3 songs. Just saying. I liked your vid.
@@king_nene101 Oh, never heard of the "Cascio Tracks"? Well, let me tell you a little bit about them. When the album MICHAEL was released 10 years ago, it had 10 songs. But, some of the fans (in fact, a lot of them) thought 3 of them are not performed by Michael Jackson himself due to the voice and singing techniques. And almost 10 years later, (I believe last year Fall) the Estate (or Sony Records, whoever) deleted the controversial 3 songs, right before releasing the 40th anniversary edition of THRILLER album. The 3 songs are called "Breaking News", "Monster (featuring 50 Cent)", and "Keep Your Head Up". And the reason why they are called "Cascio Tracks" is because it has been told that they were recorded in Cascio Family's studio. And I don't remember when, but the songs were uploaded on auction as a CD called "Bible" (stylized as "BiblE") later. I don't remember if it was before or after MJ's death, but they are all on TH-cam. You can just type "Michael Jackson Cascio Tracks", and you will see 12 songs. I hope you got my point. I am not a native speaker, so if you have any questions please leave a comment. And I will explain more about this. Anyways, long story short: Before MICHAEL's release, a CD called BIBLE was sold and someone leaked the songs. The singer was credited as Michael Jackson, but a lot of people thought that the vocals sounded weird and not MJ. So the controversy started, and after a little bit of time passed, MICHAEL was released. Including 3 of the Cascio Tracks. You can find a lot of informations about these songs. Thank you for reading this, and have a nice day :) P.S. and this is one of the reasons why MICHAEL is called one of the worst MJ albums.

It was an understanding off album since Hollywood tonight was definitely sung by a different person besides Michael the guy even made videos about the situation it was an album rushed out by Sony to make a quick buck and don't sleep on hold my hand with akon bro.
We're literally the opposite here, I only enjoyed the upbeat/busy songs from the album. Hollywood Tonight, Monster, (I Can't Make It) Another Day, Behind the Mask, and Breaking News were straight BANGERS to me. I'm a huge MJ fan, all the albums on repeat (or just the upbeat songs at least), had his choreography practiced when I was younger, all that jazz. I do have to say your take is a bit trash in this video...
Michael It’s the worst MJ album because number one: the vocals in the unreleased songs were heavily and badly edited and auto-tuned to make him sound modern for this project for example listen to the album version of Hollywood Tonight and then listen to the demo and Throwback Mix to see how badly they edited his vocals on the album version and number two: those three fake songs: Monster, Keep Ya Head Up, Breaking News which weren’t sung by him at all. They were sung by an impersonator called Jason Malachi. It not a bad album, but it’s still disrespectful to MJ and was nothing but a huge cash grab for Sony. Xscape was also released after his death but it was actually a pretty good album. The original versions are better obviously but the remixes were good too.
It wasn’t a bad album, it wasn’t great either but for most of us or at least for me it was released way too soon . Some of the songs are mid but still enjoyable to jam to ….. why they put those 3 fake songs on the album sayin it was Michael when it wasn’t is beyond me . Keep ya head up, Monster & Breaking news are the fake asf songs that I’m glad they finally removed…..overall the album is 2.5
Xscape is just so much better and 100% Michael. At least it had the original versions and the reworded versions that were a great combination. The 'Michael' album was a mixed bag of not the best tracks and the record company obviously knew the fans would buy it anyway and kept the better tracks for the Xscape album.
I personally think that this album is better than Xscape, which released in 2014, and even though some fans hate Jason Malachi some of his songs can sound good and pretty close to MJ's voice, you can check out "water" it's a nice emotional song, kinda sounds like Earth song if it was made in invincible era th-cam.com/video/wz4XkE2BIHk/w-d-xo.html Love your videos by the way, hope to also see an Xscape album review sometime
@@king_nene101 Xscape ain't bad though, I like "Chicago" "slave to the rhythm" and "blue gangsta" but the songs on the Michael album seem more emotional and some of them really feel like you're flying through the sky xD especially "I like..."
This album wasn't his greatest but definitely wasnt his worst, i like 4 out of the 10 songs which is a standard for me. You guys should look up the tracks that almost made this album 😅
*Just for the record*
The Fake Michael Vocals are still allegations since it was hard to prove if they were really MJ or not (even though it clearly is NOT him), but it was apparently NOT "Jason Malachi" so take what I say about Jason this video with a grain of salt 😅 and look into the full case for yourself (if you really care that is...)

no they didn't go look deeper in the court case & the wiki case thing
it's sold far less than a michael jackson album. i excape was a better album.
Are you stupid? This is a bad album!
It was made after MJ died
Ever heard of posthumous albums?
No it was reworked and published after his death, Michael had even sang some of the song at his concerts before releasing the album

Going hollywood was apparently him too I guess
Yeah... I know
The fake songs
1 keep your head up
2 monster
3 breaking news
But Keep Your Head Up is wayyy better tho out of the 3 imo
I loved monster icl
I'm sure there are more faked on that album
Keep your head up is so good.
Reminds me of heal the world
Such a shame they are fake but it is also surprising to have 50 cent on monster

Yeah I listen to that version
I think hollywood tonight sounded dated
@damme91

You gotta look at Invincible next, that album is so criminally underrated
Yeah, I've listened to it recently, but I'll see if I can give relisten on camera to see if it grew on me
That’s my favorite album by him
I love that album
I skip a lot. Make it 10 tracks. Flush those floaters.
Too many ballads. Not enough bangers.
It was made right after MJ passed, he had no involvement in making it and therefore doesn't have his signature style.

No arguments here bro
Xscape sound more legitimate.
Yup definitely agree 🔥
well yeah, they released all the demos for Xscape
You’re so real for swooning to (I like) the way you love me. It’s legit one of my favorite mj songs from the album. Also the shirt is fire 🔥

No you’re wrong. That song was recorded for Richard Pryor’s comedy album in 1981 but didn’t end up making the album. Then he went back to work on it in 2009 until he passed

Hollywood Tonight actually is MJ and the song is fire! :P
I think you'd like the original demo of The Way You Love Me way more than the one on Michael. No autotune which already gives it a lot of leverage.
Best of Joy is the best song in the album. It was one of his last songs he recorded before he died and he was going to perform it at This is It
Dang for real??? That would've been fire to see!
Mj didnt create this album, it was sony that tried to make a quick buck out of his death also 2 songs were sung by an impersonator. breaking news and keep your head up but if if its up to me i think best of joy and hold my hand are the best songs on the album

dudee, the way you love me has to be my FAVORITE.
Keep your head up despite being an impersonator singing
Malachi did his thing fr 🤷🏾♂️
I love that song tbh
But I was high key disappointed when I found out it wasn't Michael
Much too soon is my fav song off that album
I like The Toy Demo over Best Of Joy and I like Behind the Mask (Michael) version more than the demo
The Toy Demo had more power vocals imo and I thought Behind the Mask demo was too bland (intro was nice but it took really long).
I hate the name 😅 but ima give it a listen tho
i think they used auto tune for hollywood tonight, thats why he sounds off. (and some more of those songs)
imagine keep your head up was made by michael. (im pretty sure it was jason malachi)
And this is why Xscape worked so much better as a posthumous project.
Yup, honestly the og tracks off of xscape are lowkey one of my top fav mj albums lol
Michael Jackson didn't make music he make magic.
I thought people regarded "Invincible" as MJ's worst album? "Michael" is pretty mid tho. Hollywood Tonight, Behind The Mask, Another Day, Best Of Joy, The Way You Love Me, and Hold My Hand are good songs, but I wouldn't rank them in the S-tier of MJ songs. Not talking about the other 3 songs since those ones aren't even MJ.
People say invincible's bad?
@@kwnl-gappy-4-balls Well...I heard it was hated on release, but I'm not sure if that still applies to today. Do people show praise for it nowadays?
@@HoDoBoDo most of what I've seen is people saying it's a good album even seeing one TH-cam saying it's his best album
@@kwnl-gappy-4-balls Well that's great to hear, cuz I think "Invincible" is definitely one of his best 😁.
Invincible is regarded as MJs worse albums because it didn’t sell that well initially back in 2001. Aside from “butterflies” and “you rock my world” most people kinda forgot about it but last year it resurfaced because of “heaven can wait” and people have it a second chance, now it’s considered one of MJs better albums and rightfully so.
He had nothing to do with the album… money grab 🤷🏽♂️… “Hollywood” track is pretty good I know it’s not his voice but … 😅
Yup, but I heard the demo, idk why they ain't use that version smh
@@king_nene101 haven’t heard the demo ima have to check it out
The throwback mix of Hollywood Tonight featured in the music video is 10x better than the album version and feels more like a Michael project.
Hmmm... I gotta really sit down and listen to it then 🤔
I think I remember seeing these being sold in Walmart
Definitely his worst album
Pretty much 😅
He wasn’t part of the project….thats why.
Yeah... pretty much lol
please do more of these album reviews
Dope, I definitely will my G 💪🏾
To be fair to Breaking News if didn't have lyrics in the 3rd person, Britney Spears' legal team (her dad due to the conservativeship) would have gone after MJ's estate. Breaking News is pretty much Piece of Me from Britney's Blackout.
I don’t hear it
“I like the way you’re loving me” has always been fire!! Best song on the album!✌🏾😎
Yessirrrrrr 🔥🔥🔥
Every song's demo is leaked and uploaded on TH-cam. You should check them, and you'll get the point of fans. Maybe not every one of them, but still a lot of them. Plus, you forgot the deleted 3 songs. Just saying.
I liked your vid.
What deleted 3 songs?
@@king_nene101 Oh, never heard of the "Cascio Tracks"? Well, let me tell you a little bit about them.
When the album MICHAEL was released 10 years ago, it had 10 songs. But, some of the fans (in fact, a lot of them) thought 3 of them are not performed by Michael Jackson himself due to the voice and singing techniques. And almost 10 years later, (I believe last year Fall) the Estate (or Sony Records, whoever) deleted the controversial 3 songs, right before releasing the 40th anniversary edition of THRILLER album.
The 3 songs are called "Breaking News", "Monster (featuring 50 Cent)", and "Keep Your Head Up". And the reason why they are called "Cascio Tracks" is because it has been told that they were recorded in Cascio Family's studio. And I don't remember when, but the songs were uploaded on auction as a CD called "Bible" (stylized as "BiblE") later. I don't remember if it was before or after MJ's death, but they are all on TH-cam. You can just type "Michael Jackson Cascio Tracks", and you will see 12 songs.
I hope you got my point. I am not a native speaker, so if you have any questions please leave a comment. And I will explain more about this.
Anyways, long story short: Before MICHAEL's release, a CD called BIBLE was sold and someone leaked the songs. The singer was credited as Michael Jackson, but a lot of people thought that the vocals sounded weird and not MJ. So the controversy started, and after a little bit of time passed, MICHAEL was released. Including 3 of the Cascio Tracks.
You can find a lot of informations about these songs.
Thank you for reading this, and have a nice day :)
P.S. and this is one of the reasons why MICHAEL is called one of the worst MJ albums.

Nope, he analyses them more at the end of the video
@@altuzarraok oh, sorry. I thought he didn't 'cause he played The Way You Love Me after Hollywood Tonight. My bad!
It was an understanding off album since Hollywood tonight was definitely sung by a different person besides Michael the guy even made videos about the situation it was an album rushed out by Sony to make a quick buck and don't sleep on hold my hand with akon bro.
Imma be honest. I’m one of the biggest MJ fans ever but I really like breaking news and monster.
They ain't gonna like this one bro 😬👉🏾👈🏾
Hollywood tonight, another day and behind the mask are vintage MJ. Love it. Couldn't care about the rest of the album.
I can respect that 🤔 even if I don't like those songs on the album like dat 😅
I have never heard of the album until my friend put me on 😭 I like the way is my fav song from the song!
Good reaction.
Album wasnt bad. I initially thought its actually good
Thanks bro 🤝🏾
Its meh at best for me imo
bro your channel keeps growing
Yessirrrrr 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
We're literally the opposite here, I only enjoyed the upbeat/busy songs from the album. Hollywood Tonight, Monster, (I Can't Make It) Another Day, Behind the Mask, and Breaking News were straight BANGERS to me.
I'm a huge MJ fan, all the albums on repeat (or just the upbeat songs at least), had his choreography practiced when I was younger, all that jazz. I do have to say your take is a bit trash in this video...
Short answer: Because is not a Michael Jackson album. You welcome!
Michael It’s the worst MJ album because number one: the vocals in the unreleased songs were heavily and badly edited and auto-tuned to make him sound modern for this project for example listen to the album version of Hollywood Tonight and then listen to the demo and Throwback Mix to see how badly they edited his vocals on the album version and number two: those three fake songs: Monster, Keep Ya Head Up, Breaking News which weren’t sung by him at all. They were sung by an impersonator called Jason Malachi.
It not a bad album, but it’s still disrespectful to MJ and was nothing but a huge cash grab for Sony.
Xscape was also released after his death but it was actually a pretty good album. The original versions are better obviously but the remixes were good too.
It wasn’t a bad album, it wasn’t great either but for most of us or at least for me it was released way too soon . Some of the songs are mid but still enjoyable to jam to ….. why they put those 3 fake songs on the album sayin it was Michael when it wasn’t is beyond me . Keep ya head up, Monster & Breaking news are the fake asf songs that I’m glad they finally removed…..overall the album is 2.5
2.5 out if 5 or out 10? 😅
@@king_nene101 5
Monster and Breaking News were the only songs where it was Michael’s impersonator…I think
And "keep your head up"
Xscape is just so much better and 100% Michael. At least it had the original versions and the reworded versions that were a great combination. The 'Michael' album was a mixed bag of not the best tracks and the record company obviously knew the fans would buy it anyway and kept the better tracks for the Xscape album.
I wholeheartedly agree with you on that one 👌🏾🔥
Who is Jason Malachai, why was he trying to impersonate Michael Jackson like that album like a middle finger to fans
Y should react to bad I’m sorry if y have but I haven’t seen it but react to bad by mj😊😅
Nah I haven't yet 😅 but its coming on the channel eventually tho
Everybody knows Michael had nothing to do with that album they threw a bunch of shit together and met a deadline that’s what that album was
You should listen to the demos of those songs
Hmmmm... I'll definitely check em out on my own time 🤔
@keekaynene_ Do check out the original demo version of "Hollywood Tonight " it's a banger 🔥
I'm not gonna lie I was like 11 or 12 when I first heard this album and I didn't even notice that it sounded nothing like him 😂
Lol understandable 😅😅😅
Hold my Hand is great couldn’t disagree more
Hollywood Tonight is an absolute banger
There are two versions of Hollywood tonight. The one on the album is not him
What about the album Farewell My Summer Love
The literal non existent Michael album. Cause we all know Michaels first solo album was Off The Wall 😂😂😂
I personally think that this album is better than Xscape, which released in 2014, and even though some fans hate Jason Malachi some of his songs can sound good and pretty close to MJ's voice, you can check out "water" it's a nice emotional song, kinda sounds like Earth song if it was made in invincible era
th-cam.com/video/wz4XkE2BIHk/w-d-xo.html
Love your videos by the way, hope to also see an Xscape album review sometime
Honestly if its the 8 OG Xscape tracks then Xscape blows Michael out of the water, but I gotta relisten to the main remixed tracks again 🤔
@@king_nene101 Xscape ain't bad though, I like "Chicago" "slave to the rhythm" and "blue gangsta" but the songs on the Michael album seem more emotional and some of them really feel like you're flying through the sky xD especially "I like..."
i listen to Michael more than Thriller or OTW
Hold My Hand with Akon SLAPS
So would you say Michael is better than Thriller and OTW in your opinion? 👀
I like majority of the songs on the album
I fucking love this album
Aye I respect the opinion 😌👌🏾
Hollywood Tonight clears everything else imo
I disagree.... Respectfully 😉👌🏾
This is not a finished product from Michael Jackson. That's why it wasn't released
Yeah pretty much 😪
This album wasn't his greatest but definitely wasnt his worst, i like 4 out of the 10 songs which is a standard for me. You guys should look up the tracks that almost made this album 😅
I don't know why people think it's a bad album
Its definitely because of the lack of legit MJ involvement within it, but its definitely not "bad" persay 😌
You should listen to more Michael Jackson albums
Definitely plan on it, as well as other artists too 👌🏾
Monster is 💯 percent real but it is still lost part of it goes like this You made a monster and that's it he sang part of it on a phone call.
Dang... the more yknow huh 🤔
