Michael Jackson fans unite against some tracks from the new "Michael" album

Ok, here is my theory (and i am a very rational person, not a conspiracy theorist! :-))

1. Sony pay $250m for a deal for MJ songs. Now they somehow have to make this money back.

2. They stupidly decide that the best strategy is to release as many albums as possible. In order to fill the albums, they decide to create a few fake tracks and throw them in between the genuine ones.

3. The impersonator is definitely Malachi. He is the best impersonator after all. Currently Malachi seems to have been closing several of his accounts lately.

4. The producers (Riley etc) listen to the tracks, have their doubts but give it the benefit of the doubt and go with it. After all, they will gain financially too.

5. Sony are afraid of the reaction. So they decide to test it. BEFORE they release the album and BEFORE announcing the track list, they throw one of the songs out for testing. Everybody have their lawyers ready (as Riley said in his interview).

6. There is a lot of outcry but not enough unfortunately. To most humans, it is very difficult to recognise a voice positively unless it is somebody that you know extremely well. Even the fans are divided, some fans unfortunately fall for the impersonator.

7. This is good enough for Sony, there was no total outcry from everybody. So they say they stand by their decision and release the track list a couple of days later.

8. The family have said they don't believe the vocals are real but noone is prepared to sue. After all, it doesn't seem to worth it, what will they gain?

9. Even the fans that don't believe the tracks are genuine will buy this album after all. Michael will be forever credited for wrong vocals, terrible vibrato, terrible arrangement and a big "copy and paste of vocals" job.

10. Sony will continue their strategy in the future: since it worked the first time, why not do it again? After all, people have already started to getting used of the Malachi voice as Michael's.

11. The album and the future ones will not do extremely well. Lost credibility from fake vocals, weak tracklist, "filler" songs etc. Sony and the Estate will start losing MJ fans, who are already disappointed. I trully think this was BAD, BAD, BAD strategy and marketing. What they should have done is they should have picked the really good songs, put them all together in a CD and have released it much sooner. Now that album would have sold millions!
