ill give u on topic, check out this totally legit janet/michael duet snippet. very real: https://vocaroo.com/1cGOD1FsnCIL
 
I'm assuming for the tracks that circulated in the 90s. She's Trouble was the updated demo that released on Thriller 40, Billie Jean is the version referred to as "Demo #2" (the one we have the multis for), and WBSS is that other demo with the alternate vocal take.
Yea, the released She's Trouble at least leaked on July 7th 2002, the one-take demo leaked sometime later on.

Also, what era is which for the WBSS demo from TII and the one that leaked in 2002? I can never seem to get a concrete answer.

This Is It has the 1978 version according to wiki.

The demo featured on This Is It is for sure the earliest demo, and it shares many of the same qualities as the demos for Don't Stop & Workin Day & Night from 1978. The second demo is very close to other Thriller demos, so I assume it's from 81 or 82.

I know this is an absolutely very real snippet (all Vocaroo snippets are after all, just look through this whole thread) but my immediate thought from hearing this was "this sounds like a remix of the YuYu Hakusho opening" lol

These have been recently added to CMRRA database. Probably initiated by the estate of John Barnes. Michael's share has been mistakenly associated with Sony/Atv Publishing instead of Mijac.

What do we think mate? Do we think this could be an indicator of any upcoming release? Also weren't both tapes spotted in an Xscape documentary?

Either its for Bad 40 or in case of potential leaks. We know TMO got leaked, but I'm not sure if Make Or Break is circulating among collectors or not

I don't think the registration of these songs is related to any project. I'd like to be proven wrong, though.

iirc, the tape seen in the xscape documentary was labeled Loving You/Cheater/Turnin' Me Off.


@MJJ Leaks: according to Matt Forger Tomboy was considered for Bad25.
 
No, afaik, it wasn't considered for Bad 25
I think Make or Break started during the Bad sessions and then resurfaced for Dangerous.

Barnes loved the track and wished they had completed it. Bottrell didn't care for it (go figure).
