Some problems with Michael Jackson’s first postmortem album release

There was a discussion storming just before the first postmortem album of Michael Jackson. The chief producer of the album “Michael”, Teddy Riley admitted in his interview to UK Reuters that the vocal material sorted out for this album hadn’t been completed yet. He added that he had been doing some data handling to the voice and that is why fans had been interested in its authenticity. Riley also told that they had done their best to make Michael’s voice suit the factual music.

The album was released on 14th of December 2010. Riley, who worked with Michael Jackson before he died, said that from all those set of recordings sorted for “Michael”, the performer wouldn’t think it to be the final version.

According to Riley they used the technology Melodyne to get Michael’s voice in harmony with the music; at the same time some of the vibrato sounded not ideal and they really felt sorry for that fact. Three of ten songs from the album were guided by Riley, including “Monster” with 50-Cent and “Breaking News”.

According to Riley’s words due to debates and negative reaction from the members of Jackson’s clan, who hadn’t approved this project, what affected the trust to the album be subsided. Really, all could see Randy, Michael’s brother who didn’t stop writing in Twitter about him being suspicious about the project, when he heard that Michael’s estate executors had forbidden the presence of family members at the studio. Randy was mistrustful about this fact.

Riley in his turn is confident, that despite how the voice sounds, it is Jackson’s authentic voice and he promoted the first postmortem album of King of Pop. Riley said that he had been there to stand by the project, because the overall material was outstanding, moreover he was confident that such heritage of such a great individual needed to be out.

A quarter milliard agreement between Jackson’s property executors and Sony seems to release about 10 albums in 5 upcoming years. Teddy Riley said that he surely would have been involved in future Jackson’s albums.

Surprise at this year’s Grammy Awards

Grammy is a well-known ceremony awards with many nominations. We come along with some nominees, but with some do not. Some of them are unfamiliar for us and we hear their songs for the first time at Grammy Ceremony.
This year’s ceremony leans towards more popular music than ever. It includes indie rock in rock category, there are several artists in the top list of Best album of the Year, and rap category includes not only popular and political rappers but also hyped-up singers. Music develops in very fast-moving way!
Best Record of the Year and Best Album of the Year are the most interested categories and usually the same artists are nominated. This year’s singers Mumford and Sons, Bon Iver and Adele are this year’s candidates for Record of the Year. Of course, they are talented and their songs are great, but how can they be compared with Katy Perry’s “Firework” and Bruno Mars’ “Grenade”. It seems their music to be quite common and some talented rookies can give a new breath to musical world, but this is not a reason for them to be in the top list this year.
Best New Artist category also brings some surprises, as Skrillex, for example. This dubstep artist is nominated, but there is no chance for him to win. We can suppose that the organizers admit this fact and they won’t give him the prize.
It is very interesting why there are only two nominees for the best rap song – Kanye West and Jay-Z? Unmindful if Otis’s song is good or bad, these two men want to win because of their status. This category is one of those, where you just have to know music and this music can be good, depending only on popularity of the singers. But how great it will be if Lupe Fiasco can get a win in Best Rap Album category?

Madonna’s New Supershow

Of course there will be a great number of VIP things on sale for this tour as a support of her new album M.D.N.A. You can find more details on Madonna’s website and VIP Nation. This album will be released by Live National Entertainment/Interscope Records, on March 26, the gap between album’s release and beginning of the tour will be very small. As Billboard points, Americans who will buy a ticket through Internet can receive a digital or physical copy of album because tickets for this megashow are expensive.
Madonna’s previous 85-days Sticky and Sweet Tour brought her $408 million, her singles were on the first lines of the best charts and that tour took the third spot in the Top 5 profitable tour of all time.
