The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Looks like this was considered for Destiny

Nah this was released before Destiny

 
Off topic but I was reading some of Teddy's new book and he mentions he was supposed to be on the Bad album. Teddy mentioned this in earlier interviews as well and when Barnes and Sundberg saw the interview, this is what they said. This was about 7 or 8 years ago

THIS CLAIM IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!!! SO DISRESPECTFUL!!!. There really is not much to elaborate on or about. Teddy Riley was not involved in any way at that time. Everyone who was involved at that time will certainly confirm what I’m saying. I’m just disappointed in this behavior. - John Barnes

On a slightly more serious note, I don't ever recall Mr. Riley's name mentioned prior to the Dangerous project. Doesn't mean they didn't know each other, but the Bad team was clearly established. And yes, the story rings remarkably similar to Bill Bottrell's, which is factual. - Brad Sundberg

Teddy didn't really burst onto the scene until the Keith Sweat debut album released in '87. Maybe Quincy mentioned his name during a BAD session, but I also find it highly unlikely he was considered on the BAD album.

And Teddy wasn't even considered for Dangerous until late in those sessions. IMO, if Teddy was seriously considered for BAD, MJ would've went straight to him instead of Loren.
 
'Hot Street' might be the most finished unreleased song, but melodically even 'Got The Hots' is better imo..

I think the reason Michael was fond of Hot Street is because it's a meaningful, socially conscious song and that's what he wanted to make, not 'Baby Be Mine' type of songs (although that remains the best choice for Thriller)

Same as 'Be not Always', he probably preferred it on an album instead of 'Buffalo Bill' because it has more meaning

GOT THE HOTS IS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
 
I wouldn’t be surprised if the soundtrack for the movie includes a lot of unreleased songs , I don’t think these were registered for no reason considering they never came out. I think we’ll start to see alot more songs being registered but nonetheless
I think including some lesser known tracks would also be good. Price of Fame. Someone Put Your Hand Out. We've Had Enough. Back on DSPs would be great.
