Michael himself said that he had THOUSANDS of unreleased songs that could be released. There is no secret here.
Michael himself said he recorded all of the time. He sure as hell did not spend all of his time recording only demos. Jesus. How asinine.
There aren't thousands of unreleased songs. The highest estimate ever given was 250, and even that was apparently a stretch according to many who have spoken out on it. There are more vocally incomplete tracks in the vault than there are completed ones.
the well is dry, it's all over, the estate knows this but won't say it
when you have to dig up a demo song Michael Jackson did in 1982, and present that demo as an "never before released song" (Love Never Felt So Good), a song that MJ didn't even think was good enough to release during the time he recorded it, that's a definitive sign as to where things stand.
It's my theory that there isn't actually anything else left to release. Does anyone else suspect this?
There's a ton left to release. Producers, songwriters, musicians, engineers, and fans lucky enough to gain access to the material have spoken about tons of songs that have yet to be heard by the public that are in a releasable state.
I Have This Dream (1999), Chicago 1945, Miss You, Can't Get Your Weight Off of Me, Wonderful World of Candy, Neverland Landing, I Have This Dream (2005), He Who Makes the Sky Gray, It Don't Matter to Me, The Future, Throwing Your Life Away, Tomboy, Jungle, What You Do to Me, Buffalo Bill, Make a Wish... and that's just some of them!
As someone said above, 24 songs were up for consideration for Xscape, meaning there are at least 16 fully-finished songs out there (though God knows how many of those songs we've already heard, considering that that number purportedly includes "I Was the Loser" and "If You Don't Love Me").
It's also quite unfair to use LNFSG as an indicator that the well is dry because Michael chose not to release it in his lifetime. Michael chose not to release ANY of these songs in his lifetime. I also distinctly recall that John McClain wanted to get LNFSG on Michael way back in 2010 to no avail. Its release means nothing.
