Yeah Temperton and Quincy were/are at odds with the Estate. Anything released with their name on it was pre approved prior to death.
Yes it is (he cites it expressely in another interview, which might be the other one I posted on the latest MITM thread)
The initial demo recording at Hayvenhurst with Bill Bottrell was in late 1986.Going back to TYLA, someone said it's from 1986 but I don't see a registration from 1986, only 1988
It's in the video I posted upthread.
Yeah, would also explain why HotStreet never made Thriller 40 and whatever was recorded for Rolling The Dice.
Hot Street was considered for T25. Michael rejected the proposed tracklist though.
Am I tripping...... this is from home alone 2 when Kevin & his mother were saying goodnight....
True, but record labels don’t obtain release agreements based on proposals. It’s similar to why some unreleased songs don’t get registered until shortly before their release (e.g., “Loving You,” “What a Lovely Way to Go”). Sony likely only started on paperwork once the track list was finalized.
Pure gold

One good piece of info and perspective Brad gave was that during dangerous, the constant arguing & rivalry between Loryen/Bottrell/Swedien and Teddy led to each one trying to out-do eachother.
So Dreams appears to be a real songAnother list of songs from Dangerous.
So Get Up and Jam aren't the same song. Very interesting.Another list of songs from Dangerous.
This list comes from Shana Mangatal, she guessed the names of the titles after listening. She thinks Get Up is Jam. She listened to this tracklist with people working at Sony. It was apparently a great experience.
Are you saying Joy is a Teddy Riley track or are you referring to a different track?
"Serious Effect" and "Man In Black" seem to confirm that Teddy at least reworked these Bryan Loren cuts, given how Loren isn't listed as a producer anywhere.Another list of songs from Dangerous. Interesting to see Get Up on there when Shana first said it was Jam.
I also noticed how Earth Song was called by its alternate title, "Planet Earth."
I'm saying Joy was a Teddy Riley track.
Yes, but wasn’t this the initial concept of “Earth Song”? I remember reading it initially started out as simply a poem with instrumental accompaniment, then evolved into a fully fledged song during the Dangerous sessions.
It’s been long rumored that “Dreams” was intended for this Pepsi commercial but was replaced by WII, similar to what happened with POF. I assume it’s a fairly complete demo since it almost made the cut.Dreams is registered
Also remember Michael's commercial was titled Dreams. Could the song have been replaced by Who Is It in this clip?
Alright. Well in that case, that's mostly not true. The song existed before Teddy got involved. It matured with his involvement though.
Are you talking about Joy or Someone Put Your Hand Out? Because for the latter, that's 100% true.
We're talking about Joy. Wasn't it a pre existing song? More uptempo before.
It was more uptempo, but it was always a Teddy Riley original written by his close collaborator Tammy Lucas. You seem to be confusing Joy for Someone Put Your Hand Out, which was actually a pre-existing song that started out uptempo.
More disco uptempo according to Levi
Did it? I always thought it was a Michael/Teddy collaboration but not in the same sense of SYPYHO where Michael originally wrote it and Teddy came in later to co-write a new version
