The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

[AlwaysThere]

I’m not having y’all diss the reworked Xscape version of Loving You , which I thought was brilliant and really better than the bland and dated demo.

The only song that they really butchered on Xscape was the title track and that was by Jerkins himself , not sure how he thought his new version was better - was so boring!

I love the remix, but I also adore the demo.

Setting aside the moral / respect element and focusing solely on quality, most of the remixes on XSCAPE are leaps and bounds ahead of the originals. The one that isn’t, for me, is “Blue Gangsta.”

I don't get this take, I never will.
I always thought the remixes were just weak and quick beats slapped together so they could throw MJ's lead on top and call it a day.

It's also why I dislike 90% of all the house, club, dance etc MJ remixes from his 90s singles, there's literally zero hint of the original song present in those.

To each his own I guess, but I never thought the majority would agree with ya lol
