Black Widow - Morphine
Breaking News - Tabloid Junkie... What do the others match to? I have barely listened to them, I'm not even sure what they're names are!
Monster: 2Bad
Keep Your Head Up: Keep The Faith
Soldier Boy: They Don't Care About Us
Stay: Butterflies
All I Need: You Are Not Alone
Ready 2 Win: On The Line (identical choir)
Burn 2Nite: Blood On The Dance Floor
Water: Heaven Can Wait (literally)
Alright: Stranger In Moscow
Fall In Love: the bastard offspring of all the above
You have heard the full Black Widow, either of you guys?
I just want to hear I Am/Was The Loser. Give me that song!!!!
actually it might be better for it to leak in its current state. Some fans will be disappointed if producers add more stuff for the final version, as we saw with Much Too Soon. Some fans were disappointed when they added the accordion to the final mix... I don't mind that but I think Lenny Kravitz ruined Another Day by replacing the original guitar and bassline with that guitar riff. It doesn't sound as epic with the strings playing in the chorus either.

Dang, I faintly remembered reading that somewhere before, whenever I hear that song I always wonder about that and if it was originally in the song or not, but lately I kind of forgot about it or wasn't sure if it was true or not, the vocal really sounds like it was meant to be there, in my opinion. I guess I can hear it without it, but it's really hard. :lol: Crazy... I want to hear what it's from!Behind the Mask - Entire instrumental re-arranged. "Hee-eh hee hee" ad-libs in hooks taken from an unknown song.
Here is a list of the changes for the album from the original mixes.
Michael Album Changes
Hold My Hand - More prominent strings. Drum beat slightly altered. Additional vocals from Michael added. Original "Konvict Musik" intro replaced with "Akon and MJ". Full choir break-down added for final chorus.
Hollywood Tonight - Entire instrumental re-arranged. Samples of Michael's beat boxing pasted and looped under the Billie Jean-esque drum beat. Vocals processed in some manner. "She's only fifteen" line at the end of the second verse replaced with "She's headed for the big time, that means."
Keep Your Head Up - Humming removed from introduction. Drum beat heavily altered. Hand claps from ending choir toned down. Sampled Earth Song ad-libs removed.
(I Like) The Way You Love Me - Entire instrumental re-arranged. Lead vocals repeated toward the end of the song with the help of pitch-correcting software Melodyne.
Monster - Tempo heavily increased. Entire instrumental partially re-arranged. Samples from the 1997 short film Michael Jackson's Ghosts removed. Rap interlude by 50 Cent added.
Best of Joy - Blank section of the song, where a third verse was to be recorded, edited out.
Breaking News - Tempo slightly increased. Drum beat slightly altered.
(I Can't Make It) Another Day - Chorus instrumental heavily re-arranged.
Behind the Mask - Entire instrumental re-arranged. "Hee-eh hee hee" ad-libs in hooks taken from an unknown song. Live crowd noises sampled from Live in Bucharest DVD. Original instrumental was almost the exact same as the 1986 Greg Phillinganes version.
Much Too Soon - Accordion added.
Outtakes
Slave to the Rhythm - Entire instrumental re-arranged.
Do You Know Where Your Children Are - Electric guitar re-recorded.
Cascio Tracks
All I Need - Drums, children's choir, french horn and orchestral strings added. Piano re-recorded.

HT is your fav. MJ track?Hollywood is my Favorite MJ Track.
I had no idea, Best of Joy was missing a verse
As for the cascio sessions.....blah
HT is your fav. MJ track?
Huh, anyway, AlwaysThere, got a source for BOJ missing a verse? It seems logical yes, but still.
no the "i can't even think" was from Earth Song acapella, melodyned.
I had met a friend through a friend who was a mixing supervisor for the MICHAEL album. He's very informative with this kind of stuff (he's vividly described DYKWYCA and STTR before the snippets leaked) and he said that the extra verse from Michael ("I'll be here forever and a day, nothing can hurt you...") was due to be recorded. I'll ask him for a more in-depth description.
