How many totally finished outtakes are there from the sessions of his adult solo albums?

I don't mean solid-quality demos (like the stuff on Bad 25), I mean tracks like "Hot Street" that were finalized and fully produced/mixed by Quincy/Bruce (and then MJ's later collaborators after BAD).

Are "Hot Street" and "Shout" the only songs like this? It's my understanding that all the bonus material on the scrapped second disk of Dangerous was demos, not final mixes, ditto for the version of She's Trouble on Thriller 40
 
Unfortunately, not a whole lot.

Get Your Weight Off Of Me
Chicago 1945
Truth About Youth
I Have This Dream (2005)
Buffalo Bill (not 100% finished but it's almost there.)
I'm Dreaming
Other 2 Will.I.Am songs

If we talk about outtakes with full/partial vocals then there are plenty still.

Truth about youth did not recorded by Michael Jackson . I have this dream it's not from 2005 .buffalo bill finished song .there is also tomboy .crack kills .get back on me .and what you do to me .angel and do you love me
 
It seems to me songs like scared of the moon, she's trouble, nite line, got the hots, carousel, hot street, sunset driver, someone in the dark, shout, on the line, can't get your weight off of me, Chicago 1945, streetwalker, fly away, abortion papers, price of fame, we've had enough were all completely finished songs.

There are 3 versions from 1999, 2002 and 2005. The 2005 version is complete apart from the parts MJ planned to re-record but other than that it's pretty much complete.

John Barnes himself said that the song still needed some touches but it was almost complete.

Although Crack Kills has full vocals it's not complete. Tomboy is unknown to have vocals and What You Do To Me is also unknown to be complete, we only know that it has vocals.

Several songs Jackson recorded for Bad remain unreleased: “Bad Company,” “Broken Chair,” “Buffalo Bill,” “Crack Kills,” “Get Back on Me,” “The Hunt,” “Tomboy,” “What You Do to Me.” One song, “Cheater,” was released on 2004’s The Ultimate Collection.

I found the guy's article but I don't know if it's correct or not, Broken Chair was made in 2008.

I figured. I think GYWOOM will be the next song to be leaked if anything, seeing how many snippets have been leaked in the last 3 years.
 
For some reason not one song that isn't on any of his own albums sounds totally finished to me..
They all seem to lack something, whether it's lyrics, vocals, additional vocals or production
 
If we’re talking “finished” to MJ’s specifications and expectations, almost none. I think we’ve probably heard most, if not all, of the songs that he would have considered releasable as-is. Everything else, even songs with full vocals, are still technically incomplete because they were never given a final mix.
 
Someone needs to explain me what sounds unfinished on for example she’s trouble.
it is not a demo, other artists versions of this song sound the same as Michael’s
 
What About Us vs Earth Song is a pretty apt comparison of what more can be done with songs.

None are ever truly finished until they made it to CD/album. Or were at least given the okay by MJ.

To my Knowledge, Bad Company, Buffalo Bill, Crack Kills and Tomboy are all somewhat presentable as finished, Bad Company is interesting, since the albums name is Bad

Same goes with Get Around and Be Me 4 A Day, I wonder what those songs sound like

Just asking, has any other unreleased Bad song been heard before in seminars or other sources? Ex; Changes, Tomboy, etc.

Can I ask your source here? This is interesting; I haven’t heard anything legit about “Bad Company” or “Get Around”!

I think sometimes the mixing doesn't help the tracks, something like Price Of Fame is almost finished but the mix we heard on Bad 25 isn't the best.

It's like Michael always said himself about his unreleased stuff, he'd be working on a song and then a new song would come along and beat that first song out.

I bet there's two or three unreleased Bad era demos, that we've heard their demo form, but not their final Westlake version that Q produced and is preventing from being released
 
Not that I'm wishing for anything bad to happen to Quincy lol but once he dies will there be anything stopping the Estate from releasing Quincy's songs?
