Why do you consider it to be poor taste?

The cover is a bit odd at first glance, since it'd be something you're more likely to see for a compilation best-of album rather than a new album, but I find it actually grows on you :-)

Like a fungus.
There's phrase sometimes used to describe something garish and tasteless -- it looks like a whore's handbag.

Pardon my ignorance, but what the hell is The Tudors, and what is it about?

The funny thing is that the people in the link claim it's not MJ at all :-)

I think the penny has just dropped for most of them, a lot of this stuff is first take demos and ideas that will be reprocessed,
auto tuned and pitch corrected beyond recognition to fit new music, then buried behind a tonne of backing vocals in an attempt to hide the work that’s been done on it.
This is where queen were lucky, Freddie although a perfectionist, seemed to give a workable take every time, even in the early ad libbed demos we’ve heard.
John Lennon on free as a bird is the same, it had a tonne of noise reduction to get rid of tape hiss, i love the song, but lennons vocals are distorted and filtered too much.

Wow, people are sure going bat-shit crazy with this Jason Malachi conspiracy bullshit all over the YouTube board.
I'm very much inclined to believe the more plausible suggestion that they were working with first draft demos, especially having heard the cuts and edits in the a cappella version posted to YouTube. There is no way they'd intentionally hire a soundalike, then make a slight hack job of the vocal performance intentionally!

Suggestion is a very powerful thing; look at the "Paul is dead" conspiracy.
The truth as I see it is, these people were hyped up about new stuff from Michael Jackson, they heard it and it was "a
disappointing hack job", so they try and find a reason for it not to be good, one person says it doesn't sound like Michael
Jackson, and it gets the ball rolling. In reality It's stuff that was never intended to be heard by the public and needed
a lot of clearing up, Sony applied thick layers of gloss to what is probably Michael putting down some vague ideas.
Sony isn't going to make the biggest music deal in history for Michaels unfinished music just so they can higher a sound
alike. That’s like universal buying the Queen catalogue just so they can release cover versions of all the albums.

The controversy probably wouldn't have been as huge had the money-grubbin' Jackson family not preemptively started the false rumours in the first place - they should be ashamed of themselves, honestly. I can't even believe a word that comes out of their camp these days, they've lost SO much credibility in the last several months. I think they probably don't have anything much to do with the legal business dealings between the Estate and Sony, so they'll use any opportunity they get to ride off his back just to whore themselves out for attention and money.
By the way, SPOT ON with your Universal/Queen comparison!
