I respect that everyone has differing viewpoints on the matter. For me, personally, I don't condone the theft of the music, but Brad Buxer once said (paraphrasing) - "If it [leaked music] gets out - great. If it doesn't - great." This was on the MJCast, I believe. Morally, the stealing is wrong...
I believe it was supposed to feature Nelson Mandela, but the project fell through do to certain controversies, at the time. Matt Forger was going to fly out to record Mandela, but the trip was called off, at the last minute. Pretty much sealed the fate of the track.
It speaks volumes about certain individuals, as well, if they can be suckered by someone else to commit a crime and face imprisonment, while others benefit from it. A person doesn't earn "martyr" status or prove anything (to me, personally) by doing such things. I guess some people like being...
Wouldn't be surprised if there are security guards for the laptops, themselves, in future seminars. As absurd as that sounds. But then again, the escape was pretty movie-esque...
Assuming this is true, I personally feel this whole situation has gone way too far. I'm not gonna play innocent and say that I haven't listened to the leaks and all, but at the end of the day, it's not worth someone being threatened over.
A source close to me says that Turning Me Off only has a chorus - even after being revisited for Dangerous. Also, I know that the tape lists the scratch vox (or at least the mix) as October '86, but the track itself dates all the way back to January of that year.

I'm not gonna try to give you a hard time. Just hear me out.
I think I can speak for the majority here when I say we all want to learn about unreleased music. We share the information we know, and try to be as accommodating as possible, for everyone. However, there are some things...
MJ started work on them after the Motown 25 performance. They were written with Buz Kohan, and intended for a collaboration with director Steven Spielberg. The film never materialized, as Spielberg took on other business ventures, so the tracks were shelved. The above quotes are all I know, as...
"Michael made a full orchestral demo of 'Make A Wish' and sang it and then sent it to Steven [Spielberg]. We also wrote a song called 'Neverland Landing' which was done completely, and there is a demo with piano that I played at the house. I have it somewhere but can't put my hands on it...

If you see titles like "Descending Angels" and "Dance On The Ceiling" - these are also compositions made for the Ghosts short film. Pretty much all titles with MJ/Pike credits.
I saw that title registered on BMI, at one time. I believe it is correlated with the Ghosts short film. In other words, a part of the soundtrack.
No relationship to Blood, at all.
That thought is even more depressing than a lack of MJ vocals.
I will say, though, as much as MJ's vocals add to (and in many cases really define) his tracks, I often find myself studying the intricacies of the music itself, through multiple listens. With that in mind, even a track without his...
