The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

i keep seeing a title 'Hollywood' being thrown around in places, is it the same song as 'Hollywood Tonight' or not??
I speak with no authority on this but I'd assume Hollywood and Hollywood Tonight are the same song.

I think it was on the Michael album documentary, they showed a handwritten note from Mike saying "do a smooth muted bass on Hollywood" referring to Hollywood Tonight. So Michael referred to Hollywood Tonight as Hollywood.

I've always assumed it was called Hollywood and then changed to Hollywood Tonight, so it wouldn't be confused or compared to Madonna's Hollywood released in the early 2000's that was a bit of a hit single. That's a guess on my part though

Gonna start posting this when someone asks about something obviously fake from now on lmao
 
I would love to see what changes MJ made since he lost the multitrack of the song, most of what he did was probably some overdubs.
I wonder if MJ lost the multitrack, or if Neff-U simply wasn’t given access to it when he began his remixes. Neither would surprise me.
 
All the evidence you need:

Also, I remember an interview of will i am stating that the Michael album was disrespectful to MJ’s legacy. Maybe this influenced the estate’s decision to block him from releasing I’m Dreamin’ in 2013 on his album?
Y'all truly are spoiled. This isn't terrible at all. Silly, sure. Next person who says Will I Am is terrible deserves to be locked in a JC Penny's overnight with Ellie Goulding on 100% volume.
 
I'm curious, are the multitracks for Al Capone circulating out there? The fact that SWG has an extended mix of that song which features unheard vocals (such as Michael repeating the phrase “why did you let him get away?” over and over again as the song fades), makes me think they’re circulating out there, or that they’re at least in his possession. It’s also well known he’ll only make extended mixes for songs he has the multitracks for, which is why he hasn’t made an extended mix for Tabloid Junkie, despite his fans begging him to make one in every ****** video.

That's taken from the beginning of the song.
Really? It sounds too clean for it to be just taken from the start, imo. I’ve always found it a bit strange that he would make an extended mix of that song without having the multitracks, knowing that’s one his requirements for making any extended mix.

The story seems to change. Porcaro originally said it was written and recorded around the time of the Victory tour, which would be 1984. But then recently he claimed it was recorded a week after Thriller dropped, which would be December 1982. Yet that seems to have been an error, either on the part of a seminar attendee or Porcaro himself, as the same story was given to “Dream Away.”

Nevertheless, the leaked version seems to date to 2014. Porcaro said he’s been working on it sporadically over the years.
