The Best of Joy MJ version seems interesting
I may be very late to the party, but there's an ORIGINAL version? The only one I've heard was the one on Michael.
... You are the sun that lights up the sky
When things are shady
Let come what may, we do get by
I was the only one around
When things would hurt you
I am forever.
I am your joy
Your best of joy
I am the moonlight
You are the spring
Our love's our sacred thing
You know I always will love you
I am forever.
I am the one who chased the clouds away
[Baby] I'm[SUP][?][/SUP] here[SUP][?][/SUP] forever and a day or You[SUP]?[/SUP] have[SUP]?[/SUP] forever and a day
Nothing can hurt you
I am forever.
I am the one who said that you are free
It used to be you, but now it's we
And nothing can hurt you.
We are forever
I think this song is so much more powerful a capella, I mean, some music could be added, the album version sounds overstuffed:
A re-release of Michael would be the best thing the Estate could ever do. - Then remove the 3 Cascio songs and add demoes and alternate versions instead.
Stop selling the original Michael album - remove the original version with the 3 fake songs from Spotify and other streaming services. Then after some years the 3 fake songs would be forgotten to have ever existed.

However, if they ever did, use the XSCAPE formula — take the seven remixed songs and throw on the original demos. That brings us to fourteen songs total, and gives us some A/B comparisons. (Plus, adding previously released songs is just a cheap and tacky move imo.)

So, adding TWYLM is cheap and tacky?

100%. I have no idea why that song was on there.
I love best of joy.. the lyrics are so simple but something about his voice and the sweetness in his delivery makes me sad.

I would understand the mentality of "Michael was working on it at the time of his death, so we wanted to include it" if they didn't also include three songs that he hadn't worked on in ten to twenty years (Another Day, Behind the Mask, Much Too Soon).
If the song “The Way You Love Me,” was going to be included in any list of songs on anything else other than the boxed-set, “The Ultimate Collection,” then, the original Demo version* (*already leaked on the Internet long before the boxed-set was officially released in 2004) should have been included on the “MICHAEL” album as well, and NOT some lesser-quality version with unnecessary dialogue in it. The original 2004 Demo was much, much better than the one on “MICHAEL,” in my honest opinion. What do you think?AlwaysThere;4319552 said:I have no idea why that song was on there.

Was "Much Too Soon" Thriller era?
