Let's end the confusion about MJ's unreleased tracks here

I'm assuming the sighs all over it have been added as they weren't in the first snippet lol
 
I think it's fair to say that between Bad and Dangerous, Bad has so many great outtakes, but Dangerous outtakes were so good that MJ just had to use them.

But it's really up in the air. Especially when you have to decide if songs like Earth Song is a bad outtake or a Dangerous outtakes? (it's basically Bad)
It certainly is BAD , i think he was doing that part we all have heard in Austria in 1988. Reworked in 91 with probably the same BAD vocals but the lighter parts on "what about us " .
 
“You know, sometimes I just reminisce, I don’t know man” Rodney Jerkins talking at the beginning of the writer’s demo of you don’t love me for Michael jackson
 
The more unreleased stuff comes out, the more I understand why he was only releasing the stuff he released.
Probably some nice ideas and grooves floating around but nothing that "gets me going".
 
Power
Written and produced by Jackie with Tito on guitar, Randy on percussion, Jermaine on bass and the brothers on BGV. A song about people coming together to make the world a better place. [This would later become "Playin' With Fire" by Greg Phillinganes]
There's a song called "Power" (co-written by Tito Jackson) on Tramaine Hawkins' 1987 album "Freedom". Not sure if both were connected in some way 🤔
