The Cascio Tracks

Back in late 2007, Jackson had went to New Jersey to visit the Cascio family and stayed there for 3 months. Jackson have been friends with the Cascios around the 1980's, which he is calling them his "second family". It was known that Jackson had recorded 12 new songs at the Cascios' basements. He wrote 12 new songs with Eddie Cascio and James Porte. It had been set to release in early 2008 but was cancelled. In November 2010, the Cascio track "Breaking News" was released on the official site of Michael Jackson for one week. The song had received many negative reviews, claiming the song was not sung by Michael. Later on in December, the song was released on the first posthumous album called "Michael". The authenticity of the 3 Cascio tracks "Breaking News", Keep Your Head Up", and "Monster" has been ongoing controversy among fans of Jackson. Even Jackson's mother, Katherine, his two kids, Prince and Paris, and some of his siblings claiming it's not Jackson singing. Many fans believed it was recorded by Jason Malachi, which he completely denied. Teddy Riley produced the two Cascio tracks, "Breaking News" and "Monster", said that he had to more processing to the voice. Also said that he used "melodyne" fix the flat notes, and was the reason why some of the vibrato sounds a little off or processed. The questionings had been going on since then. 

The other 9 Cascio tracks were planned to be on the "Michael" but did not make the cut.
