The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Interestingly, "It Don't Matter to Me" seems to have the same melody as Joe Sample's "X Marks the Spot (Marie Laveau)", which was released in 2002 as part of The Pecan Tree.

Joe Sample had previously worked with Paul Anka, playing keyboards on Anka's 1976 album The Painter, while Bill Schnee, who co-produced "X Marks the Spot", is credited on Anka's 1998 album A Body of Work as an engineer and for mastering a track.

Makes me wonder if it was an old unreleased track that Anka later gave them, or if Anka recreated the backing inspired by Sample's track… or maybe it's just a big coincidence.

Yeah, that’s kinda what I figured. Keep the real stuff close to chest until they can see what the producers could bring to the table.

I remember this was a coping mechanism I used back when “Breaking News” dropped though. “They probably had Teddy mix with an impersonator’s vocals to ensure the real thing didn’t leak, and they accidentally posted that one. The real MJ vocals will pop up soon.”

Since Teddy played that fake solo version of 'Joy' I am convinced he also just assumed it was the real MJ on those Cascio tracks..

I don't believe in coincidences (most of the time). It seems there is some connection yes

Does the original "it don't matter to me" have the same piano chords as the leaked 2013 remix? If so, this could have been an ispiration for Michael's 1982 DBMR.🤔

I would love if some of those guys that make fake or AI MJ songs and mixes could work their magic and make a 90 minute/2 hour version of that podcast, I'd love to listen to it again but not in its released form.

Actual content wise it probably was around that length if you cut out the recaps + overly slow dramatic filler

In the Faking Michael podcast it's made clear that Teddy didn't think the songs were real at all.

Oh I didn't get that, although I did listen to the podcast: thanx!

Teddy playing the fake 'Joy' version remains weird though
 
WTF??

Most likely a pirated version of Hot Street has been "officially" released by some guy named Ariiel de Jones.

This guy needs to be reported as soon as possible, it's unacceptable to see this.

Hot Street might be the most heard and infamous unreleased song from Michael's catalog.

Honestly I wonder why he didn't include songs that he loved on the b-side of vinyls. Hot Street and Carousel for Thriller, Streetwalker and PoF (as a Pepsi promotion) for Bad, For All Time and either Monkey Business or MISM for Dangerous, Much Too Soon and Innocent Man for HIStory, Xscape, GYWOM and APWNN for Invincible
