It's an outtake. Just like Slave To The Rhythm, Stay, All I Need & Burn Tonight were on MICHAEL. It will be released eventually.

Can you please speak more to this? I previously read Michael wrote the lyrics to All I Need but, did not record vocals; another person did (whose name I will not mention). There is also a version of one of the songs online as well.

PPS: Paul Anka is probably counting down the days too. Maybe he's more excited than us.

We've Had Enough was wasted on The Ultimate Collection. With that said, it shouldn't be on any future new album. It's already been released.

Hotstreet would have been a good choice. IMO it's better then Slapstick.

WHE is AMAZING! I love it, I also love Hot Street and Got The Hots! Never heard Slapstick, when did Michael do that one? And whats wrong with LNFSG? I'm really excited about hearing it as I've never herd it.

Hot Street's developed from Slapstick, like Thriller's developed from Starlight

Imagine what they could do to Al Capone, Abortion Papers, Price of Fame and I'm So Blue? They maybe should've "contemporized" these songs as well as release the demos for them.

Maybe they should re-think that. Put Timbo and the crew on these songs.

OMG that would be so awesome. His vocals are just amazing, it just needs some "contemporizing" that's all.

Its possible some of these songs even exist in newer/reworked form,since they said they only included the work that was done up to '87 on the songs and that there was work done on them after 87.
I would also love to hear Cheater which was reworked with Rodney as far as I read.

I LOVE "Messin' Around"-When I first heard Pharrell's "Happy", I thought of it-I would love to see him produce it for commercial release.

It is one of the Cascio tracks considered for MICHAEL album. The final version was produced by Burt Bacharach. I doubt Michael had anything to do with that or any other Cascio song. Maybe he did wrote parts of it. The song leaked in 2010.

i agree, demo's are always far superior to me..

We would've gotten the demos as well.

Reason I mentioned this is because I feel those demos were kind of a "wasted opportunity", even though I appreciated the release. But these 4 songs are REALLY good and have so much potential.

In my opinion, and I think for most other fans aswell, I think they can still do it somewhere in the future. It would definitely be amazing to hear what they could do with them.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Didn't the Bad 25 previews come about a week before the album's first release? If I recall correctly, It wasn't on iTunes, but some foreign site. Although I'm sure the previews will only make me more anxious, I'm dying to hear them.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Maybe they should re-work and modernize One Day In Your Life, Jump For Joy and We're Almost There.

:hiya:
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

^^Oh I love One Day In Your Life--that sweet innocent melodic voice....

No album and so many pages already!! What will happen on the first day of sales! I guess the server will be busy and I will not be able to log in.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Michael didn't write any portion of "All I Need". I don't recall such a thing ever being stated either. I remember hearing that there might actually be a Michael "All I Need", but it's totally different from the Cascio track under the same name.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Whaaatt!!!! Hang on I've just discovered 4 or 5 Thriller era songs that I didn't know about? Where did they come from all of a sudden? Hot Street, Slapstick, Trouble, Night Line ....any more? Why so many leaked Thriller outtakes?

Isn't Hot Street the demo and Slapstick being the complete version ? I actually feel like Hot street being more polished, though I enjoy some vocal parts from Slapstick lol

Really? Care to say why? Or do I need to explain myself.

"We've Had Enough" was a great song and was wasted on a greatest hits/rarities BOXSET. It would have been more recognized on an album featuring all original material. I can say the same for One More Chance. Another decent song wasted on a greatest hits package.

Now, to re-release it on another album when it's already been released, is a total waste of space when another track which hasn't been released or heard yet, can be in that position. That's why I feel "The Way You Love Me" being on the Michael album was a stupid decision.

No, Slapstick came 1st, then Hot Street. There's a nice version of Hotstreet that's been cleaned up quite a bit that's on You Tube.

They leaked in 2002 I think. They are all available here in 2000 Watts forum.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I already have 4 or 5 different versions of that song.
Anyway, somebody should make a:

"XSCAPE - Rate & Review Thread", when the album is released.
