Are there still some so called “ hidden gems” left in the vault?

Love Never Felt So Good leaked after Invincible was released. It was on Napster & limewire back in the day.

I wonder if Michael said anything about it. I know that he was frustrated with the "Xscape" leak and had his team remove all download links and he was so devastated when "Hold My Hand" leaked that he called will.i.am on the phone to talk about it. I remember reading that MJ was extremely angry with the Fugees and Temperamental remix of "Blue Gangsta" when that happened.

He didn't seem to care about leaks if it was a song that he didn't have plans for. A lot of Thriller outtakes were leaked in the early 2000s and he didn't seem to react, but if it was a song that he wanted to release later on it's a different story like you mentioned.

Between each of these, which sounds more fathomable as a real demo?

There is zero proof these snippets are real. These videos were posted by YouTube channels that had uploaded dozens of fake leaks in the past which is really a red flag for me. All we have are those low-quality snippets and it's basically a "source: trust me bro" scenario. If you follow MJ leaks, you can notice that everything legit goes pretty much shared everywhere and re-uploaded by reliable people.

*cough the Estate with the cascio tracks
 
Keep in mind that an unspecified number of Michael Jackson's unreleased songs were stolen (in 2011) from Sony Music's network, as confirmed by Sony Music itself.

In 2011, it took place a massive hacking attack, and hackers breached Sony Music's network.

It was reported back then that among these Michael Jackson's unreleased songs were also songs (duets) that the singer recorded with Freddie Mercury, and with will.i.am.

Sony Music still possesses copies of all the music that was stolen (including Michael Jackson's unreleased music), so the breach does not really affect the company's ability to still release in the future more albums and individual songs that were stolen by the hackers.

That’s not true.
Chicago (2010 version/Rock mix) was leaked AFTER Xscape was released.
Nobody had heard “She Was Lovin’ Me” before Xscape’s release.
It was one of the two songs not heard before. “Loving You” being the other one.

And reg. the 24 tracks again:
That was the amount of songs they chose the final track list from. (At least that was the official stance on the matter, that they proclaimed within promotional material.)
So if we take that 24 at face value, there are now 16 songs left, after the release of Xscape.
16 songs in that specific state, they were looking for, for the Xscape project.
That doesn’t mean there are other songs in different states. And it doesn’t mean they have found other ones since.
 
By the way:

Does someone in here know the lyrics or part of the lyrics to the track "Hidden Gems"?
Or maybe can describe the vocal melody?
Do you think "Hidden Gems" is lyrically complete?
And what about production wise?

Will "Hidden Gems" be someday unhidden? Will it than be overdubbed to "Discovered Gems" like MJ did with "I am/was the Looser"?

Lot of questions I know. But I'm really interested in all informations regarding "Hidden Gems", so please, somebody answer!

My mistake then probably mixed it up with children are
 
It seems like the estate’s new modus operandi is to only give us two brand-new tracks at a time, while relying on previously released and leaked material to fill up a track listing. Honestly seems like a decent strategy, especially for songs that we’ve had to endure in terrible quality.

I believe that's how songs like "I Am A Loser", "Days In Gloucestershire" and "A Place With No Name" leaked online. They came from the same person back in the days of the breach.
