MJ's Producer Explains Questionable Vocals On Posthumous Album

Tedd Riley, one of Michael Jackson's lead producers for his posthumous album 'Michael,' spoke to Reuters about  allegations that the recorded vocals are not MJ's.

"I had to do more processing to the voice, which is why people were asking about the authenticity of his voice... We had to do what we had to do to make ... his voice work with the actual music," Riley said in an interview.

When MJ died the vocals were unfinished and would not have been released in the state they were left. Riley, who worked on "Hollywood Tonight," "Monster" and "Breaking News," used a process called Melodyn to move the voice up a key to fit the instrumentals better, but the natural vocal tones suffered.

Riley thinks members of the Jackson family first stirred controversey about the vocals because they were unhappy with the final deal negotiated with Sony,  who plan to release nine more  Jackson albums and pay the estate $250 Million through 2017.

According to author J. Randy Taraborrelli, who wrote Jackson's biography in 1991, there are about 60 songs MJ left unfinished, and only 20 that the family is comfortable with releasing.  But if Sony plans to  rake in a profit against the $250 million dollar deal, the Jackson's may have to unlock the vault. When there's this much money and fame surrounding a legacy, resting in peace involves a lot of negotiation and litigation.
