![]() Both teams hired audiologists and musicologists who confirmed their own respective versions. Since Sony had upheld the fact that the tracks were recorded in Cascio’s basement in New Jersey. Serova’s case, apart from being against Sony Music, was also against MJJ Productions, which handles Jackson’s music licensing and publishing, Cascio and James Porte, co-writers of the three songs and Angelikson Productions. It’s notable that back in 2007, Malachi’s near-perfect rendition of Jackson’s Mamacita had confused and wowed the fans at the same time. His manager later said that his account was hacked. Serova also claimed that the songs were sung by Jason Malachi, who, in 2011, admitted on Facebook that he’d sung the pieces. Cascio had denied this in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Serova, an expert in Copyright and music industry law, also alleged that it was Jackson’s friend Eddie Cascio who created the songs through his company Angelikson Productions and sold them through Jackson’s Estate and Sony Music. ![]() In 2014, a fan and lawyer named Vera Serova attempted to lead a class-action suit and claimed that the liner notes of the three songs, which credit Jackson as the singer, were a complete misrepresentation under California’s Unfair Competition Law and the Consumers Legal Remedies Act.

For over a decade, musicians, musicologists, and fans have continued to debate over these three songs, reasoning if the songs are actually sung by Jackson or someone else. It was mainly created by pulling and pushing fragments of some of his verses and a few musical motifs and pairing them up with an overtly zealous and glistening orchestral world.īut it wasn’t just that it had too many frills and flounces. ![]() And the result was an album that was way too edited and expunged, lacking the grit and power of a typical Michael Jackson album. But the album was completed by Sony Music, and Jackson’s friends and musicians. If Jackson had managed to complete the album in his lifetime, there is no doubt that Michael would have been very different from what the world heard in the Sony album.
