Version 2 has that covered. Personally, I think AI is still in the phase of, "if you have to ask if it's real, it's probably not real."

For now, while AI is still in its infancy, the instruments and mixing style will give away the fakery of these creations. I don't know how long that will last though.

Sorry if this has already been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer: what's currently the consensus on the best list/overview/tracker of MJ's unreleased music? I see so many different lists and Excel trackers online, but which one is most accurate/reliable and updated still?

The fandom wiki isn't a bad option these days. Before it was filled with misinformation but whoever it was they did a good job at cleaning it up.

Of course there's still some wrong info here and there but overall it can be a good starting point to learn about MJ's music.

List of unreleased songs

For each album, American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson would write and record many songs, spanning from 30 to 50 or more. However, a majority would ultimately stay in the vault and never see a release, as only 10-15 tracks would be picked to make it on Jackson's records. Many of them were...

From the Maestro book:

# Tender Love

Written By Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis This Force MDs hit, written By Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and released on their second album CHILLIN’ in 1985, was said to have also been recorded as a demo by Michael.

Does anyone have more information and/or can confirm this?

I am not sure about that one. The only background info that's been confirmed is that New Edition was planned to perform the song, but if Michael actually recorded a demo, that'd be incredibly shocking.

I’ve never heard Jimmy or Terry mention the song before but it would be interesting if it did exist

I feel like Maestro, for all its extensive knowledge, has a lot of entries like this—Stuff that isn’t confirmed or even alluded to by anyone involved, just vague claims that MJ might’ve done this or may have done that. I know the author has connections, but I don’t think publishing a book like that with anything but bona fide facts is a good move.

I've probably read/ listened to 99% of Jam and Lewis's interviews over the years—they've never mentioned this.
 
Thank you for your feedback.

At the beginning of 2023, I asked Chris Cadman about this song, and here is his message:

I've tried various people about Tender Love and never found the definitive answer. Someone who I respect says it was. I think only Jam & Lewis can answer this. I'd love to know for sure either way.

If the rumour's true, did Michael record TL just for fun or was there any serious intension behind?
 

Anyone can confirm if this is fake? I’m 90% sure but I’m just checking in with the experts

Not sure but the Jane is a Groupie sorta practice thing he does seems like a pre Who Is It , although I am unsure if Jane is a groupie is an actual full song.

“Jane is a Groupie” definitely became ”Give In To Me”, I don’t think it’s related to “Who Is It”.

According to Bill Botrell its most likely.

It seems to me to be a different take (or mix) of those bg vocals + clearer, dramatic strings. Maybe it's just my ears.

Michael Jackson - Throwing Your Life Away (SNIPPS MAXELL UR 120 TAPE)

Got my hands on a tape with real snippets. NO AI NO BS. The way it was meant to be heard. The snare is a lot softer than people think it is in their recreation attempts. Of course no ones attempt comes close to MJ and Bruce Swedien in mixing and mastering. Listen to and download it lossless...

Edit: the reason i heard some of that (on this link) was i had mono audio on. Still, can’t hear it on the other leaks.
