You have a point, however, he did abbreviate “Messin’ Round” as well on that list. What is perhaps most interesting is that underneath “Teddy do overdubs” is written “get lyrics from writer”.
Yeah, I was talking about the spinning plate sound.
Even if it's just "writer's demos", I'm still dying to hear anything from the post-trial era.
They can definitely work with that
I appreciate his candor here. I’d love to hear them.
Never knew the song until about 10 minutes ago haha.
I think “Messin’ ‘Round” goes by multiple different titles. There’s a version titled “Don’t Be Messin’” as well.
Yeah. Willing and Waiting shows that even writer's demos are good to listen to lol.
This was really cool, thanks. I love a lot of Ne-Yo's music and I think they would've worked so well together. Such a shame Mike didn't have enough time to record something from/with him...
Agreed. Very, very respectful to Michael. I’ve always had a lot of time for Ne Yo and stuff like this served as a good reminder why.
I think Neff U said in the making Michael documentary album that MJ gave him that song as a "gift"
Yes, he was. It was on his “to-do” list from 2009.
It's from Dangerous. Apparently it's pretty similar to DS.
Yeah I knew about that, I don't really take something being on the list as meaning he was actually working on it, though.
So if 'Beautiful Girl', 'In The Back', 'Days In Gloucestershire' are among his favourites because they are 'killer' songs can this mean there are finished versions of those? Because what is 'killer' about 'ITB' and 'DIG' in the state that we know them (mumbling)?
I think he's just saying they're some his favourite songs. They weren't worked on any further.
Do u have info about song don't make me stay
Matt Forger believes later versions of "Ghosts" and "Is It Scary" may have evolved from ideas created during the 1993 sessions. While musically distinct, the gothic/horror element is certainly the common thread linking them all.

No. There are later versions with updated music and production, but the vocals we’ve heard are all that exist by all accounts.
You are right; maybe he means 'killer melodies' or 'killer grooves' BUT he calls them 'killer songs'; his 'favourite songs'.
No offense but that's a fan mentality. These men create music; they view all of it as beautiful and as good as finished.
I don't mind that pronunciation, DIG got really good melody...
It is! Beautiful Girl is one of my favourites too...
Yeah, MJ worked on Beautiful Girl more at some point, but not vocally as far as we know.
It's the instrumental that does it for me, I love the summer feeling it gives.
i quite like DIG, but what gives it away that it is a demo and maybe not a releasable track, is the kind-of acoustic guitar sound played (in fact sequenced) quite crudely. Would love to hear a version with real or at least “better” guitar sound.
