Happy Easter, one and all!

Today, I'd like to ask you...what Michael Jackson Demo or Unreleased do you want to hear the most?

Me, I'd listen to whichever ones are released (by it officially or otherwise). But the ones I really want to hear? Like right now? Demos from the Bad sessions. I especially really want to hear work-in-progress versions of the song Bad. Like, you've NO idea how long I've been wanting to hear that! That's why I was a bit disappointed it wasn't on Bad 25...but one day...ONE day, I have a feeling I will be able to hear those early versions...hopefully, during my lifetime, though. :chillin:
 
Probably Men In Black, Stop Throwin' Your Life Away and Chicago 1945

But I want to hear anything and everything from MJ.
 
I read somewhere that MJ had made a whole soundtrack for the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory remake because he wanted the part of Wonka, but once he got turned down for the part he removed his music from the project.

If that soundtrack truly exist I would love to hear it. :)
 
Every one of them. I'm not too picky about that. I would like those cca 10 songs that already leaked to be released first (in combination with others).
 
Out of all the songs I would still would so totally L.O.V.E. to hear one day:

Men In Black
Somewhere In Time
Tragedy Of A Cheerleader
California Grass
Ekam Satyam (The One Truth)
The World Is No Church
Crack Kills (If this song was recorded.)
 
I'd like to hear everything he ever recorded. Mostly everything he did during Bad & Dangerous sessions, which I can't get enough of. I would love to hear the stuff he worked on with Bryan Loren, demo's that evolved into known songs like Hot Fever and Pyramid Girl, and Groove of Midnight in it's entirety - he sounds divine in that snippet. But there's a lot of titles that sound very intriguing and I'd be happy with anything really.
 
I would love to hear everything from him of course! But as many said already, I'm particulary interested in the Bad and Dangerous eras because they don't have a single bad song
 
more unreleased Jackson 5 songs is what I'm only interested in, really, when it comes to music. some demos with them would be awesome too

There's still unreleased J5 material?? I thought Motown would've scrapped the bottom of that barrel years.. even decades ago (first off when Michael hit it big with Thriller to cash in on his success, then again when he died).
 
The songs that I want to hear from each era are:

Off The Wall:
- Little Susie Demo
- Got To Find A Way Somehow
- Going To Rio

Thriller:
- MJ Melody
- Rolling The Dice
- Peter Pan Songs
- Victory

Bad:
- Turning Me Off
- Chicago 1945
- Apocalypse Now
- Buffalo Bill
- Be Me 4 A Day

Dangerous:
- Call It Off
- Seven Digits

HIStory:
- Willing And Waiting

Invincible:
- Monster
- Ekam Satyam (The One Truth)
- Chicago 1945 Rework
- Do You Want Me/Do You Love Me
- The Gloved One
- Shut Up And Dance
- The Pain

After Invincible:
- RedOne Collaboration Song
- Stop Throwing Your Life Away
- I'm Still The King
- Dark Lady
- Water
- D.I.E (Dance Is Entertainment)
- Days In Gloucestershire (2008)
- Rocker

I've heard Willing and Waiting. It was recorded by Babyface and offered to Michael but he rejected it.
 
Chicago 1945, Buffalo Bill, Lovely Way, Man in Black.

I'd also like to hear Truth On Youth which is a collab with LL Cool J.

Can you give more details? I read in a YT comment that a Babyface song was played in the seminars and it sounded like Another Sad Love Song by Toxi Braxton, could it be talking about that song?

I have dreamed of hearing this soundtrack for many years, but unfortunately it is unlikely to be officially released. It is extremely sad to know that many unreleased songs will be left to rot for all eternity.
 
The Life of Chico
Buffalo Bill
You Not Me
Slipped Away

Make Or Break, Monster, Dark Lady, Rocker, Adore You, Dancing For Love and the 2009 mix of Ghost Of Another Lover are my top picks.

Did Mike record a solo version of This Had To Be? I love that song

Joy, Buffalo Bill and Ghost Of Another Lover for me

Yes. This Had to Be is You Not Me. It was written for Triumph but later given to Brothers Johnson.

Buffalo Bill is on everyones list because of how excited Michael sounded when he talked about it

I don't think a full version of Joy exists because Teddy tried to trick fans by playing a fake version on his Instagram live one time

That's cool, I didn't know MJ did a version of This Had To Be himself. It's a great song. Thanks for the info

I always remember Buffalo Bill, Men In Black, Price Of Fame and Chicago 1945 as those elusive titles we wanted for years.

I'm hoping Teddy was just playing with fans with that video. Didn't an engineer who worked with Teddy (can't remember his name) comment that Michael's vocals on Joy were amazing or something?

I hope there's a full version, I love that song

I believe he only played it because he either sold off his CD alongside his Future Records stuff or had to because the Estate/Sony had it in their posession. Or let's take a third option, Mike's vocals were left on the multitrack masters for Blackstreet's Joy, which are currently located in Universal Music Group's Iron Mountain vault in Pennsylvania.
