you're listening to the leaks still? i feel it will be more satisfying when the full album arrives as it will be official, but your choice of course!

1. DYKWYCA
2. Xscape
3. APWNN
4. Blue Gangsta
5. Slave To The Rhythm
6. LNFSG

Probably on some Thriller anniversary edition or box set (like TUC).

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
i think we'd possibly get the demo on a quintessential box set featuring the early demo's of each song.. i believe it needs to happen when the estate have used up all the releasable tracks. but now, let's get back on topic.

This is essentially the demo. The only difference is that the vocals are, quite obviously, in much higher quality.

Hey guys, did you see the article Qbee posted on news section :clapping:
Michael Jackson Is Still Alive Online
Added by Katie Sevigny on April 3, 2014.
Michael Jackson is still alive in the hearts of many. Five years after his unfortunate passing, a new album will be released by the King of Pop entitled XScape. The online world is buzzing with news about the new record which will drop May 13th 2014.
The new album cover is absolutely stunning and simple. Jackson gives off a stare that peeks out of his futuristic see-through glittered outfit, the look in those eyes, it is an intense glare which says “I’m still here” and ”I’m not going anywhere.” Hard to believe even five years later that Jackson is no longer here performing.
Jackson son is more than just a musical icon, he is a force which everyone will never forget. His range was like no other and his dancing was insanely original for its time. His music spanned generations and infected pop culture with its hauntingly good vocal work.
When Elvis passed away there were many fanatics hoping he never really died. Maybe they thought he just took a vacation or went into hiding. It gave birth to the slogan “Elvis Lives,” and as Jackson’s fans gear up for the release of these eight new songs re-worked by L.A. Reid, perhaps a new slogan will be born. Thanks to Reid, it’s as though Jackson never really left, that he is still here fighting for love and for the love of making music for the world. In many ways, Jackson is still alive. Online, and in the memories and hearts of the people who loved him.
Reid had an exclusive grab of Jackson’s musical archives. Songs which never got released. Only eight songs were re-worked with a handful of hit making producers to help Reid design a new modern sound to Michael’s vocal work. Only eight. Imagine the gold mine of other secret tracks available to only a few ears? This begs the question: How many songs are in the archives to keep Jackson’s legacy going?
Music in an intangible and everlasting source of joy for many. Jackson set out to write songs which not only hit the top of the charts, but moved people, gave people a sense of belonging, or comfort. Hopefully the new album will hold the same purpose in at least some of the tracks.
Two songs fans can look forward to hearing on the new album are the title track,Xscape and Chicago, produced by Timbaland. Reid calls the re-tooling of the album a “Contemporizing” new take on Jackson’s original ideas.
These days, people talk about stories “breaking” the internet. Jackson broke the charts with recording Thriller, the highest selling album of all time. The video forThriller was one of the most influential music videos ever in terms of creativity and slick choreography.
It is too bad there will not be any new videos featuring Michael Jackson to go along with the new music. Those would have been something to see! Jackson took pride in being a perfectionist who delivered the whole package, not just the songs. However, there is nothing to complain about now that word of the new album has come out online. More than just promotional material has popped up, but stories about why Jackson’s music still matters to the world. It’s through these shared stories that will help keep Jackson alive forever.

Adding my list:
1. Slave to the Rhythm
2. Do You Know Where Your Children Are
3. Blue Gangsta
4. A Place With No Name
5. Love Never Felt So good
6. Xscape
Slave to the Rhythm is of course a "tricky" one (no pun intended) because we haven't heard MJ's actual demo, but his vocals are amazing and the story he tells is by far my favorite, so it's easily the track (both original and contemporized) I'm most looking forward to. Xscape is cool but, like Respect77, I just never warmed up to it.

^The title looks way better aside than on Michael's head, no doubt.

^ Indeed the title looks amazing on the side
But again it is a mater of artistic taste, So it is ok if some loves the cover and some hates it....there is no "I am right and you are wrong" about such a thing

The title font looks like a pair of antennae that gives him a Martian look but if some of you love it either way, to each their own.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
I'm going to say again: that "font" is Michael's handwriting. If a handwriting comparison is necessary, I will do one or ask someone to do one. You can tell simply by the way some of his letters connect. And honestly those of you who keep complaining about it haven't looked at his handwriting enough. Plus, how about we see some positivity from some of you for a change? Don't mean to be rude, but we all know that some of you don't like the cover. And we don't care. Just don't ruin the thread by being negative with every single post you make.
:rofl: that's so terribly Photoshopped. The letters don't flow with the curvature of the body, and they lie on top of the wrinkles. Whoever made this should have their computer confiscated.

I wonder if the reason I caught The Simpsons episode, Stark Ravin Dad on Fox was to promote Michael somehow, I hadn't seen on years.

What I think about Always There's criticism:
you supposedly didn't mean to be rude but you were. Everyone has the right to express their opinions
