Thriller 40th Anniversary Edition

MICHAEL JACKSON THRILLER 40 – SHE’S TROUBLE

The songwriters, Terry Britten, Sue Shifrin and William Livsey, gave this song to Quincy for consideration on Thriller. Although Michael demoed the song, it didn’t make the album and the songwriters then gave the song to other artists to record and release. This is the first time Michael’s demo is being released.

Nächsten Donnerstag wird "The Toy" laut Berichten auf MJJ enthüllt.

Hoffentlich ist auch Niteline dabei.

Das und Hot Street sind doch fast schon Pflicht.

Hätte Michael damals Sonys Vorschlag zugunsten der Remixe nicht abgelehnt, so hätten wir die uns bekannten Outtakes bereits auf Thriller25 bekommen.

"The Toy" wurde nun offiziell bestätigt.

This song was inspired by the Richard Pryor film of the same title. After not making the cut for the Thriller album, Michael continued to work on the song and it ultimately evolved into "Best of Joy”. The original incarnation is now being released. https://michaeljackson.lnk.to/Thriller40th

This is another song written by Rod Temperton for “Thriller” but it didn’t make the cut. It was ultimately included on certain versions of the King of Pop compilation album released in various international markets in 2008, but one interesting note about this song is that the assistant engineer who worked on the June, 1982 sessions with engineer Brent Avril when this song was recorded is Nelson Hayes. As some may know, Nelson actually became a trusted member of Michael’s security detail under Bill Bray!

Offizielle Thriller 40 Dokumentation bestätigt.

Ich frage mich, warum die Saftsäcke vom Estate für die Thriller- Doku jemanden wie Nelson beauftragt haben, der MJ öffentlich als Pedo abgestempelt hat?

Gab's noch mehr?

Leider ja.

U.a der MJ - R. Kelly Vergleich:

Molesting prepubescent boys is a greater taboo than seducing teenage girls.

"It may be morally questionable or legally wrong, but it's not weird behavior that an older guy wants to be with a younger girl," author/filmmaker Nelson George ("Hip Hop America") said.

Jackson, who rarely releases music anymore, is widely considered past his prime. The prolific Kelly is not.

"The one thing that Michael Jackson was not able to do was remind people why we care about you -- you're a great musician and a great entertainer," George said. "R. Kelly has been able to say, `Look at me. I'm more than these accusations. I'm still a gifted musician.'"

oder das hier, was er kurz nach Michaels Tod von sich gegeben hat:

What a lovely way to go!!!!

This was actually a song originally written by Michael in the late 1970s but revisited by him at the time he was writing songs for the Thriller album. It didn’t make the album and had never been released until now.

Okayy... kann man nur hoffen, dass die Produktion der Doku noch nicht begonnen hat,

Ist leider schon fertig produziert.

"Sunset Driver"

This was another song Michael originally wrote for the “Thriller” album. Although Michael also considered it for “Bad”, he never finished it but released it as a bonus track on The Ultimate Collection in 2004. It was also one of the songs featured in the Ubisoft game, “Michael Jackson: The Experience”. The mixer on the original 1982 demo was Bill Bottrell who would go on to co-produce tracks on Michael’s Dangerous album.
