The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

So, apparently the producer of the 2008 revised version of I Have This Dream is the same dude who produced the tribute version that was later confirmed by Damien to be very similar to the MJ's version
That explain a lot, i guess so

What version's are these? The 5.19 one and the Xscape demo version?

The 2004 mix was the version considered for The Ultimate Collection. Only small changes were made to the song so it shouldn't be different from the version we already have.

The 2008 mix is the version that was put on Xscape.
"Minor edits were made by Neff-U in 2008, at Jackson’s home studio in Vegas. And coincidentally, the song’s original producer, Dr. Freeze, also visited Jackson at his home studio that year.

The original version of “A Place With No Name” included on Xscape is what Jackson heard during those 2008 collaborative sessions with producer Neff-U and recording engineer Michael Prince.


“Compared with the 2004 version, you can hear the drums are different in the final version,” observes Prince.


“It has a different kick drum pattern, a little stronger snare, and the ‘na nas’ are copied to repeat through the fade.”

All in all the song didn't change all that much after Invincible.

If Mike recorded this in full I wouldnt mind hearing it, but if I was him I would have given up at any children references post 93. Just me thinking out loud.
 
The ‘world peace anthem’ type songs mj wrote just seemed to get worse over time imo

Can you feel it - excellent
We are the World
Heal the World
What more can I give
People of the World
I Have this Dream - awful

I know he wrote others but just an example
 
Bill Bottrell:

I did get to my journals.
Dec. 29, 1983
Can Am
7:00 - 1am
Vocs
"Don't Look Any Further"

Only that.

AND:

Jan. 4, 1984
Jermaine
7:00-11:00
Dynamite

On a side note, this is interesting, as I have no recollection of it. "Liberian Girl"?
As far as I remember was fully produced at Hayvenhurst sessions, as documented in my BAD notes, but here is this:

Dec. 21, 1983
Randy
12:00-6:00

Michael
7:00-1:30
Liberian Girl



I'm sure "Liberian Girl" was started fresh at Hayvenhurst with John Barnes, Michael, and me.
So this was an early version completely erased from my memory.

I like I have this dream's hook more than What More Can I Give's...

Essentially confirms that even the earliest documented version of “Liberian Girl” wasn’t titled “Pyramid Girl” as legend claims!

I always thought What More Can I Give was fantastic, and I enjoy it a lot more than We Are The World.
 
Both are solid, imho. They're not songs I love, but I'd say they're at least okay. Calling them "the worst song recorded by MJ" feels like a stretch, unless the vocal performance in "IHTD" is awful, which we can't really say for sure.
