Oh, wow, I'll do my best to try to remember some of these things for you, Moddie. Others can help and maybe remember some things better than me, too. Let's see...
For Speechless he started to sing the very beginning lines which would have been
Your love is magical, that's how I feel
But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion
But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain
To tell you how I feel
But instead he sort of combined that beginning, with the ending of the song, and left things out... and did something like this:
Your love is magical, that's how I feel
But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain
To tell you how I feel
like...
(and then he sort of shrugged and looked into the camera, and in a very toned-down, unaffected way, simply stated...)
I love you.
That was all we got of
Speechless, very brief, the scene then changes.
In the Thriller segment, he had planned for large flowing puppets made to fly over the audience and one was a zombie groom and the other it's mate,
a zombie bride. We got a glimpse of them in the film. Also, the dancers all dressed up as zombies for both the accompanying short film
and for dancing along with MJ during the song, and he had the two girl dancers dress up as zombie brides.
At the start of the scenes for Human Nature MJ is giving the vocal coach and Kenny some idea of what he is wanting by singing an arrangement of notes, but he inserts the words "
keeping her around, around, keeping her around" while doing it.
He also changes the line, "I like loving this way" to singing instead,
"She likes loving this way."
It might not have actually been out of character for MJ, for some that knew him well had before mentioned in interviews how very proud he was of his kids, and he, in the Geraldo interview, said, "Pretty soon I'm going to take them on stage with me and let the world see them for the first time. That was his thoughts anyway in early 2005. Check out below @ 4:45-5:00.

Even in IJCSLY there is a line referring to "her"
I'm so proud to say I love you
So MJ just might have wished to show her off...but if that would have been wisdom is another thing, but who better would have known the repercussions of that than he?
On the other hand, he might have wanted a girl all along that reminded him in many ways of his mother, so if his LITD is anything like her...good luck getting her up on stage with him in front of all those people. He never succeeded in getting Katherine to do it. :no: Aw, cute.
I remember Linda commenting in here more than once that this gal might very well be shy. That's what she was picturing anyway. Who knows? Maybe she is.
But I think it's not a stretch, based on what MJ said himself about his own kids, for him to plan something like Moddie is thinking. So maaaaybe. We'll never know.
