The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

If this is actually real then it's pretty obvious why it didn't make the Michael album. This mix is HORRIBLE.
Neff U played the demo tape he had out of his speakers, recorded that with a lq mic and then used the recording as the foundation of his mix.
 
Imo the remix isn't as bad as people said it would be—though it's not anything to write home about either and you can tell from the get-go why it didn't make it to the Michael album, I still kind of like it. The new strings are very catchy, especially towards the end of the song and at the part where MJ sings "da da da".

Though I'm probably just saying this because of novelty bias, after the hype goes away I don't think I'd listen to this instead of the 1988 demo. At the end of the day it's still a downgrade from the original lol.

The vocals to the authentic one should contain lines like, " Sally, don't let the devil get you"

They differ from the leaked recording if it's the vocal take I'm thinking of.
Shouldn't there have been additional lyrics? This user had mentioned some, I remember reading about them elsewhere too iirc, from what source do they come?
 
I am telling since months that the Neff-u mix will be a big disappointment.. no one wanted to believe it. Now you see… I didn’t believe it’s real when I first heard it.
 
I actually like that HT mix. I think it's clearly just a rough idea but it's cool.

I always wondered what Michael wanted 'Hollywood Tonight' to sound btw; because although he used the Hall & Oates/Billie Jean bassline for the demo, the theme of the song makes me believe that the final outcome was supposed to be less 'poppy' and more intense; something in the vein of 'Dangerous', Who Is It, GOAL etc.

I think he wanted to turn the track into a Rock song seeing how he added a guitar part in 2008. The 2008 version even has a guitar solo on the bridge so it's safe to say the Neff-U mix is closer to what MJ would've wanted.

Ah a rock song, yes that would also make a bit more sense in relation to the theme than the version that was released
 
I think im more upset about the quality, than the content of the song
Yeah, I like what he did with it if it's real. I just don't really understand why it sounds so lq, even if he filtered it a bit it wouldn't sound this bad.

Maybe it's just the file that has leaked that sounds really bad?
