Beautiful Girl is remarkable, I don't replay that one as often as I should, but whenever I do I'm blown away.
Those background harmonies are wonderful

Yes an unreal track by Michael, such a shame that it never got completed. Truly I believe without the 2005 trial that an album would've been released between 06-09 with all the songs he was working on with Brad Buxer. Take a listen to the HQ version of Beautiful girl:

Haven't heard this version before its excellent, man I really miss Michael. No one is producing music like this anymore, and to think it all came from his head, he WAS the instrument.

“Beautiful Girl,” with the original version of “The Way You Love Me” as a very close second. Absolutely divine, both of them, even in their unfinished state.

I really like Beautiful Girl and Fall Again.
Not sure Fall Again counts but it was released in the 2000s lol.

Same, been thinking about this recently. I think we would have gotten something soft, layered and atmospheric. With Beautiful Girl, Michael was getting into Pet Sounds territory, and an album like that from him in his late 40s would have been easily one of his best.
I may try and put together a playlist of demos (both era adjacent and not) which fit that sound + idea and put together a fake backstory for the "album"!
Yes, Days In Gloucestershire is one of the most surprising songs in MJ's extended. I would have liked a more advanced version with with less repeating of the lyrics.

Also yeah The Loser and DIG are really nice as well. Hope we get to hear the last worked on version of The Loser some day.

Does Best of Joy counts? If not then I’ll go with Beautiful Girl. Lovely song.

I want to say Adore You since from the little we heard it seems to have a lot of potential but it's hard to call it the best song when we haven't heard it in its entirety yet.
Alternatively I'd go with either Best Of Joy or I Am A Loser.

I'm not really sure what harm I'd be doing by creating a clearly fanmade album tracklist and backstory as a passion project but fair enough I guess. It's not like I'd use AI or claim it was real.

I don't know how I forgot about Best Of Joy but that's clearly one as well lol. Also waiting to hear Mj's final demo of that one.

It's something about we've had enough for me but I never noticed until the other day.... its barely ANY bgv or a string section on that song. That's what indicates it was far from finished & those 2 were indeed his signature sound

I love the snippet, I want to hear the full thing so bad
I'm really happy that most of the answers here are about Beautiful Girl or some songs made with Brad Buxer. He really should be more recognized. Beautiful Girl is my all-time favorite song, and I really love all the details in this song!

HT.
I'm mad at him that he didn't finish and release this one. He should have released this in 2008/2009. it's classic MJ.
APWNN would be second.
he worked on it briefly in 2008...

I agree. Buxer, Bottrell and Barnes have helped Michael to craft some of his most awesome pieces of music.

Hollywood and Best of Joy. Major hit potential for the first one if he finished and released it himself.
Hold My Hand has also been growing on me in recent years, it's kinda like a textbook example of a late 2000s song but definitely still a vibe.

I have. It's boring and generic piece of music. Working with Rodney was a waste of time imo.

Well its a Demo so its clearly not finished, still much better than any songs released today. Rodney also helped produce You Rock My World, Heartbreaker, Unbreakable, Threatened..... these songs were not a waste of time.

On the topic of 2000s MJ songs... Yes, Brad Buxer is a very underrated MJ collaborator! He's actually one of my favourites - as soon as I looked into what he actually wrote with Mike, he shot up the list for me.
Beautiful Girl alone is proof that they would have cooked up a fantastic full album together.
