Dangerous is the best Michael Jackson album in my opinion. I always wondered why there is no Teddy Riley song on HiStory.
im glad he left .
but dangerous is what made me a fan. i loved teddys input on that.

Originally for Dangerous
Not entirely or not at all. Teddy just presented Michael with the grooves for Dangerous. That demo we have with Pavarotti intro and without full vocals (just chorus) is from 1993. So we don't know how much work on Ghosts was done for Dangerous album, and if any.
I think the only tracks during that era Teddy worked on, were Blood On The Dance Floor and Ghosts, both of which were started during the Dangerous sessions, but didn't get finished until after HIStory.
Honestly I'm kinda glad the BOTDF songs didn't make the HIStory album. They just don't seem to fit together. Kinda odd considering the two albums were released within 2 years of each other. IMO the BOTDF tracks fit more with Dangerous.....but that's probably not a surprise considering the majority..if not all of the 5 tracks were started around the Dangerous era.
I personally think most of BOTDF is great! While Morphine is definitley an 'alternative'/different sound for a mainstream album... I could say the same for a couple tracks that actually made the HIStory album.. Little Suzie? While it was a well put together song musically, anyone unwrapping a MJ project at the time would have a WTF moment when they hear that for the first time..
Can someone really say a song like Super Fly Sister does not 'fit' with the sound of the HIStory era? (just as an example)

OnirMJ;4216098 said:Well, that's when the song was recorded (1989-1990) so basically it's not throwback. It is a song recorded at that time and released 7 years later with some parts (I think some guitar solos and piano parts) recorded in 1996.
I'm glad that Blood on the dance floor and none of it made the dangerous album. Besides of Ghosts and Is It Scary they are very weak. Just like those two. But Blood On The Dancefloor would have Kind of ruined dangerous as a whole.
Hereeesy! Come on Blood On The Dancefloor is better than She Drives Me Wild, I Can't Let her Get Away and Why You Wanna Trip On Me. Thematically it fits perfectly with the Dangerous album. It's a BOP, sonically creative and complex with dark and powerful lyrics.
I would have gladly traded WYWTOM for Blood On The Dancefloor
Jam
Blood On The Dancefloor
In The Closet.
That might just have been the best sequence of songs of any of his albums.
I also rate Sueprfly Sister very high in MJ's catalogue. I miss when he did these kinds of songs that had no real structure or clear direction and were just loose and funky. Just like WBSS
Oh no no.. Wywtom is my favorite dangerous track we can not give up on that.
