You are just spouting fake news dude

If he was or he wasn't i don't know but he should never have allowed himself to be put in that situation in the first place.

Also no way in hell if i was accused of such evil deeds would allow the estate to be paying them off. Its a bad look.

He ended up in court anyway.

I don't think Jackson was a pedo. He just never really grew up.

It is a shame that his work has this pedo taint to it.

Any new songs or material being released from the film? Michael had left a deep archive of songs which I'm surprised they haven't released or sampled.

Sadly no. My favorite leaked but not released song is probably this:



He made it with Steve Porcaro

The dude playing Michael is the definition of movie magic. He is so fucking incredible it overshadows everything. I have never seen anything like this, it's like young Michael got into a time machine and made this movie.
I know there's an army of makeup, CGI and sound people behind him but what the fuck.

As an MJ fan, I loved it!

I hope Jafaar has a great career after this. He was so good.

Listening to a shitty posthume cover song instead of one of the hundreds of original classics MJ put out is so fucking Kojima that i can't even be mad at him.
What a beauf.

Actually that is the demo MJ made in 1982. It was released on Thriller 40.

Never knew of Captain EO until the other day... Bro what the fuck. One of the best MJ songs is stuck in a Disney theme park attraction.

I gotta see Michael though soon, literally the greatest of all time.

It also has great early version of Another Part of Me.

Are you talking about Another Part of Me? If you are, it's on Bad. We Are Here to Change The World you can watch on YouTube.

It's not a cover song

I think it could be called that:

Behind the Mask (song) - Wikipedia

I meant « a posthume cover song »

And it's different from the original Yellow Magic Orchestra song though. He wrote some lyrics, made it about a girl (which YMO found it weird)

It is a demo of a cover by Michael Jackson of an YMO song.
So my point still stands and you are still kojima fans through and through.

 

[Baemono]

you are still kojima fans

How dare you

To explain my posthume comment a bit more, i only know the youtube clip version of the song, and to me the musical arrangements sound much more "'modern" than those of the 80s. I did not even know he made a full demo version at the time. If someone has it please share !

I think I like the 2010 version more than the demo. Its interesting that they made this music video at the time but didn't release it. It was only uploaded on Youtube after someone leaked it.

Edit: I removed the links because the next post has them and more.

Okay so the original Yellow Magic Orchestra version used in a Seiko commercial



Then they made it a full song, without much lyrics



Mike took it and added lyrics about a girl/love song, and then wanted 50/50 of the royalties, which YMO refused



Then MJ's keyboard player, Greg Philinganes, based his own version on MJ's demo



Which was then covered by Eric Clapton



Then, after MJ's death, they released a remixed version of the song based on MJ's demo

Quite a exhaustive summary of the song history, you just forgot to put in the part where Kojima tweets the remixed song like a twat and i mock him on Neogaf.

Jokes aside, I actually like this demo version, it could obviously not go on Thriller but still it is a nice little song.

 

[VulcanRaven]

I went to see it again and didn't expect that many people. I liked it even more now.

No. He claimed to have "another 100 Billie Jeans" - yet all of the leaked songs were unfinished melodies.
I mean, he was one of a kind but only cooked with water like the rest of us...
Best you can get are the remixes:
