The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Wow, that would be something.

Then it ends up being disappointing like every other leak

This whole discussion about unreleased Michael Jackson songs has really got me thinking. How do we justify listening to these leaked Michael Jackson demos after his death that he probably wouldn't want the public hearing in the first place? I mean, don't get me wrong. I understand that there has been a lot of hype surrounding some of those songs in the vault, and it's totally understandable that someone would want to hear them out of curiosity. But downloading and listening to these unfinished leaks (and judging them) like official tracks just seems a little weird and disrespectful. While I'm sure there were finished songs in the vault that he wanted the public to hear, as well as songs like Seeing Voices that he let the public hear while he was alive, most of them just seem like half-finished tracks that a perfectionist like him wouldn't want the world hearing. I feel the exact same way about the posthumous albums like Bad 25, Thriller 40, and especially that Xscape album, which is why I haven't listened to those albums in a while. I know that some of those tracks provide insight into his creative process, but seeing posthumous remixes like "Chicago" (which was supposed to be titled "She Was Loving Me") on the Spotify charts seems strange. But hey, to each his own.

Definitely agree about judging them like you'd judge his released stuff. A lot of people seem to do that and i don't understand it at all. I'm interested in MJ as an artist/creator and getting hear stuff he worked on but never released is interesting and not something I consider the same as songs he released during his lifetime.

Kinda wild to me to have expectations of or be disappointed in something that was never finished or intended to be heard.
