Yeah that's true but it wouldn't be considered complete if it's a scratch vocal, since it isn't final. The wording on the tweet is what confuses me.
Now this brings even more confusion lol. I still stand with the idea that what was recorded was a scratch vocal that's advanced enough to be releasable, similar to the demo of Streetwalker or Dream Away.
Might be mumbles....he did specify there's a partial lyric so I'd assume the partial lyric might be the chorus
How do you know that? If you're just assuming then yeah it could be.
because who in their right mind would spend 55k on something like that hahah
Yes
I was thinking that it was some secret crowdfunding a group of collectors were doing but yeah that seems more likely lol

Ask him something worthwhile instead of constantly pasting that quote. Ask him if Turning Me Off has full vocals since he says he's heard it, all we know about the vocals is that scratch vocals were recorded in 1986 but we don't know to what extent.
Turning Me Off was allegedly one of the 24 tracks drafted for Xscape. We can see the 2" master in that docu about the production of the album.
It doesn't say a lot, I mean, Hollywood Tonight and Hot Fun In The Summertime don't have full vocals but they were still selected for album releases. It's still uncertain how complete the vocals are.
True, but neither HT nor HF are scratch vocals in the sense of mumbling or making up lyrics as placeholders.
Hollywood Tonight did have scratch vocals in some parts though, same for Behind The Mask with the cut mumbled verse in the demo and some of What A Lovely Way To Go. The estate doesn't always pick songs that are 100% vocally complete or that are around that level for album releases.
I'm not sure about Behind The Mask. It was heavily considered for Thriller so I think there's a more complete version than the demo the estate threw on T40.
Funny thing is, they haven't used the most complete version of HT (MJ adlibing on bridge/ David Williams guitar). In addition Teddy has changed the songs story.
You'd think they just picked a demo without even considering if it's the newest version, or somethingFunny thing is, they haven't used the most complete version of HT (MJ adlibing on bridge/ David Williams guitar). In addition Teddy has changed the songs story.
Yeah, aren't some verses on the 2010 remix which are not on the T40 demo?
I haven't directly compared but I'm pretty sure that's the case, yes.
You are wrong about hot fun in the summertime I asked someone heard it 2 times he said MJ recorded first verse and chorus the song in general have 2 verses
Don't get too excited. The Estate is known to randomly work on unreleased songs and then do nothing with them. Mark Ronson comes to mind. So does the Hot Fun in the Summertime track, etc.
Steve Porcaro said in a seminar that he was negotiating with the estate to get Chicago 1945 released shortly before that interview, so it's very curious that both him and Teddy confirmed that they were in talks with the estate to get new music released not too long ago. Prince also said recently that they were looking into getting unreleased music released along with the biopic so maybe it's in relation to that?
