I don't think I'm exactly going out on a limb here in assuming that most fans doubt the authenticity of songs like Breaking News and Monster, but this is an anonymous poll, and I'm curious to see if there's any remaining fans who actually believe there are legitimate MJ vocals on these songs.
When the album dropped in 2010, it was actually quite divisive in the fan community, and there were a number of fans who believed they were legit. Do these fans still exist or have they come to their senses?

100% fake. I wasn't fooled for a second. I don't know much in life, but I know Michael Jackson's voice when I hear it.

Apart from the obvious samples. Itβs all fake. I knew that from the second BN was released.

Do you remember the original version of Keep Your Head Up where they copy and pasted ad-libs from Earth Song onto the end of the song? Does anyone else remember this? God, it was soooo bad. lol

God, it was soooo bad. lol The fact that the Michael album has songs as amazing as Behind The Mask and Much Too Soon and as bad as KYHU and BN is unbelievable, especially when it was BN they chose to launch the album.

Okay, who voted for the "I think parts are MJ" option? Name and shame yourself please. I suppose technically, "parts" of the songs are MJ's voice. But I don't think copying and pasting a "hee-hee" from In The Closet and a "oh-oh" from On The Line constitutes an original MJ vocal. They even wrote a weird disclaimer thing on the back cover of the album: "This album contains 9 previously unreleased vocal tracks performed by Michael Jackson. These tracks were recently completed using music from the original vocal tracks and music created by the credited producers." I mean, wtf was that about? Funny how they didn't feel the need to stress this point on the back cover of Xscape. This is how it should've read: "This album contains 9 previously unreleased vocal tracks performed by Michael Jackson (and Jason Malachi). These vocal tracks were recently completed (as recently as the last six months) using music from (Jasons) original vocal tracks and music created by the credited producers."

Fake as hell. They stand out as being a lot worse than the already atrocious standards of the other songs on that album.
Seriously the best part of that album is the cover art.

You don't like Behind The Mask, Much Too Soon or Hollywood Tonight? I would rate all three of those songs over anything on Xscape.

I probably over reacted. Behind the Mask is a great song, Hollywood tonight and Hold my hand are good, and Much too soon is just dreadful sorry.
I really like the Xscape album, Love never felt so good, Lovin you, Blue Gangsta and Xscape are true classics and we all know it. The rest is at least good. Of course the original versions on the Deluxe album are what I mean. The budget silver coloured version only has the 8 redone tracks on it, the gold version has the originals after it. These are the gold, the new versions are okay but ruin some of the magic of the original.
Honestly listen to Blue Gangsta and tell me you don't like it. That song is just ... amazing.

Fake as hell
However, soo many elements from previously released vocals were copy-pasted on top of them.
I still find it hilarious when I see the Teddy, Oprah interview and he was saying how no one can match Michaels scream and that's Michael!
I mean if he is referring to the copy-pasted screams then sure it is Michael lol

Obviously I voted fake. My favourite thing is in the monster demo when he says "why you stalkin'me" the "stalkin'me" bit is higher pitched so you can tell the "why you" part is a copy and paste. It's the little things, really.
