The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

“Who Do You Know” has been called a BTM demo for years now. I have no idea what the source is, but it’s not true in the slightest. Two entirely different songs.

There is no source. It's just because it is similar to the line in the BTM chorus "Who Do You Love". BTM was also originally called "Who Do You Love" btw.

I know there is a small group of people that has the album in their possession. I can’t speak much on this but i wouldn’t say this is exactly accurate, to my knowledge.

It's truth. Who do you know is another demo for behind the mask

(Regarding I'm Dreaming) Will said MJ sang “I’m dreaming about being in love. I’m floating around and I just can’t wake up.” Or something to that effect.

Will said they wrote a new chorus. The rest of the song is about being a blunt

I'm pretty sure the For All Time writer's demo that Porcaro played still has MJ saying "That's for all time" on it, weird.

I believe @JohnC said in his Musicology series that MJ recorded backing vocals for the demo in late 1989 at Porcaro’s house. Perhaps that’s all that was written when the demo was presented and MJ just laid those bits down while waiting for the lead vocals?

even what MJ says is FAKE. he was never on those Doobie songs. a band member confirmed it. i think he was fooling around for the camera but because he said it folk believe it.
 
So....... Do we have an official list of the songs that were considered for Michael & Xscape?

Partial lists:

“Love Never Felt So Good,” “Do You Know Where Your Children Are,” “Throwin’ Your Life Away,” “Lovely Way,” and at least three other Cascio tracks were up for Michael.

“Get Your Weight Off of Me,” “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” “If You Don’t Love Me,” and “I Was the Loser” were up for XSCAPE.

Don't forget She Was Lovin' Me. And I think Slave to Rhythm? Plus they still wanted Will.i.Am and RedOne's songs.

Chicago 1945 was also wanted for Xscape.

Completely blanked on those — thank you!

Apparently Steve changed up his story and said that it was “Dream Away” was the song they wanted for XSCAPE. At least he did during the Paris seminar. Weird that Steve has suddenly been switching up the narrative.
