Let's end the confusion about MJ's unreleased tracks here

It must be the Invincible-era version of the song then.
Photographs is a song to have been copyrighted 3 times, what if instead of the snippet being a demo it's one of the 3 versions made for it?

It can’t be “The Lost Children” because (to my ear) it’s written in 4/4, whereas “The Lost Children” is in 6/8. It sounds similar, but a ton of the MJ/BB collaborations have percussion like that.
I hear 6/8 in the demo, it doesn’t sound 4/4 to me.
 
Either way it were 2 titles I never heard of before. I like many liked the last snippet best
 
TLC demo bc it's sounds more like it, also because it uses the Stranger In Moscow samples that TLC uses. Blue Powder because jackson.ch has it
According to them they don't own the songs of the cassette. Someone sent them the snippets.
 
@AlwaysThere
Are you educated in music or have a musical background? I wish I could hear what you hear but I’m not that smart!
Clearly not, since I was painfully wrong 😂 yes, I play a few instruments! And it’s not a matter of being smart, don’t short change yourself! It’s just something that comes with knowing how to play/read music.

If you wanna know what we mean when we talk about 4/4 and 6/8, this video is incredibly helpful. I gave it a quick watch and it’s a very good, quick resource!
