The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Well they just gave the tracks to producers to see what they could do to them.

Yeah, that’s kinda what I figured. Keep the real stuff close to chest until they can see what the producers could bring to the table.

I remember this was a coping mechanism I used back when “Breaking News” dropped though. “They probably had Teddy mix with an impersonator’s vocals to ensure the real thing didn’t leak, and they accidentally posted that one. The real MJ vocals will pop up soon.”
 
For me, it’s just a mediocre composition. The melody is on the mid side and it almost feels like a Disney song in the worst way.
Well I guess it's just novel to me then. Cause I don't know enough Disney songs to really understand that point.
 
I've listened to quite enough for research purposes and let me tell you...this sounds more like a Queen reject than a Disney song. "Neverland Landing" fits the bill better.
Yeah, or Elton John. Like it's just your average mid 70s tune.
 
What's also funny... How John Barnes thought Buffalo Bill was great and Bill Bottrell thought Buffalo Bill was silly and awful.
Michael also thought Buffalo Bill could be a hit and he said he was so proud of that one when said that in the interview from 1983 i wonder how did it sound

Where is the "I was the loser" vocals and bg vocals suddenly come from?

Sounded fake this whole time to me
 
Interestingly, "It Don't Matter to Me" seems to have the same melody as Joe Sample's "X Marks the Spot (Marie Laveau)", which was released in 2002 as part of The Pecan Tree.

Joe Sample had previously worked with Paul Anka, playing keyboards on Anka's 1976 album The Painter, while Bill Schnee, who co-produced "X Marks the Spot", is credited on Anka's 1998 album A Body of Work as an engineer and for mastering a track.

Makes me wonder if it was an old unreleased track that Anka later gave them, or if Anka recreated the backing inspired by Sample's track… or maybe it's just a big coincidence.

Since Teddy played that fake solo version of 'Joy' I am convinced he also just assumed it was the real MJ on those Cascio tracks..

I don't believe in coincidences (most of the time). It seems there is some connection yes

Does the original "it don't matter to me" have the same piano chords as the leaked 2013 remix? If so, this could have been an ispiration for Michael's 1982 DBMR.🤔
 
I would love if some of those guys that make fake or AI MJ songs and mixes could work their magic and make a 90 minute/2 hour version of that podcast, I'd love to listen to it again but not in its released form.
Actual content wise it probably was around that length if you cut out the recaps + overly slow dramatic filler
 
In the Faking Michael podcast it's made clear that Teddy didn't think the songs were real at all.
Oh I didn't get that, although I did listen to the podcast: thanx!

Teddy playing the fake 'Joy' version remains weird though
