Allgemeine Informationen zu diesem Thread:
Hier werden vorerst sämtliche unveröffentlichten sowie nachträglich veröffentlichten Lieder Michael Jacksons gelistet. In Zukunft werde ich auch Alben, Singles, Gedichte, Konzerte, Mitwirkungen (an Projekten anderer), Videos & Filmprojekte von Michael Jackson hier auflisten. Ihr könnt hier alles posten, was dazu gehört und - wie immer - wild diskutieren. 
Nach längerer Inaktivität meinerseits werde ich 2013 die Liste auf den neusten Stand bringen.
Momentan steht hier nur meine bekannte "Unreleased Tracks / Non-Album-Tracks / Later-Released-Tracks"-Liste unter Mitwirkung des altehrwürdigen Kollegen 
TLC !

(DEUTSCH) Hallo da drüben, du betrachtest in diesem Moment
das bestimmt geheimnisvollste Thema über
die Musik des KING OF POP, MICHAEL JACKSON:
Seine UNVERÖFFENTLICHTEN Stücke
(auch die Stücke, die erst
SPÄTER VERÖFFENTLICHT wurden)
und Stücke, die auf keinem
seiner Alben zu finden sind

(ENGLISH) Hi there, you're watching right now
the definitely most mysterious topic about

(also those tracks which
were NOT RELEASED UNTIL LATER)
and tracks which cannot be found
on any of his albums
including THE JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS
(DEUTSCH) Anmerkungen bezüglich der Liste:
Selbstverständlich können Fehler nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Vor allem variieren die Quellen.
Jene Stücke, die es wirklich gibt, sind fett gekennzeichnet.
Es ist praktisch unmöglich, diese Liste jemals zu vervollständigen.
Diese Liste kann gerne kopiert und weiterverbreitet werden. Sie wurde für jedermann geschaffen.
(Eine Quellenangabe mit Link wäre natürlich sehr nett.)
Zu diesem Zweck wird die Liste in der englischen Sprache verwaltet.
Die Liste ist wie folgt aufgebaut:
- chronologische Sortierung der Stücke nach Jahreszahl, in der das Stück
fertig gestellt wurde (oder zuletzt bearbeitet wurde), sofern dies bekannt ist - numerisch-alphabetische Auflistung der Stücke innerhalb eines Jahres

- Jahreszahl(en) --> gibt an, wann der Text und/oder die Musik geschrieben/komponiert wurde
- Liederschreiber(en), Komponist(en)
- Interpret(en)
-
zusätzliche Hintergrundinformationen, z.B. wie das Stück entstand
(unterschiedlich farbliche Kennzeichnung) - Veröffentlichungen
- Quellenangabe
(ENGLISH) Annotations regarding the list:
Of course, faults cannot be foreclosed. In particular the sources are varying.
Those tracks which really exist are marked in bold.
It is practically impossible to ever complete this list.
You can gladly copy and spread around this list. It has been created for everyone.
(An indication of source with link would be very nice, of course.)
For that purpose the list is being administered in the English language.
The list is arranged in the following way:
- chronological sorting of tracks by year in which the track
has been completed (or has been edited in a final step), as far as known - numeric-alphabetical sorting of tracks within a year
- indication of (if known):
- name of the track (including specification of version, e.g. "Early Demo")
- year(s) --> indicates when the text and/or the music was written/composed
- songwriter(s), composer(s)
- interpret(s)
-
additional background info, e.g. how the track was developed
(differential color-coded marking) - releases
- list of sources
(DEUTSCH) Anmerkung zur kontinuierlichen Verbesserung der Liste:
Jedwede Art von Rückmeldung (konstruktive Kritik, Verbesserungsvorschläge,
Korrekturen usw.) ist jederzeit erwünscht und hilfreich.
(ENGLISH) Note about the continuous improvement of the list:
Any kind of feedback (constructive criticism, improvement suggestions,
amendments etc.) is desired and helpful at any time.

This Is It (1980) (Michael Jackson, Paul Anka)
Michael Jackson
POSTHUMOUSLY released version: Michael Jackson [lead] feat. The Jacksons [BG vocals]
According to Paul Anka, he co-wrote the song and worked on it with Michael in 1983,
however it's more likely that he's re-written parts of the song in that year, as the song
had definitely been created in 1980 (see US Copyright Office registration) - obviously
without Paul Anka. However a re-written version was later recorded and released by
the band Safire in 1991 under a different name, "I Never Heard".
Statements by representatives of Sony Music which claimed that the song would have
been re-named from "I Never Heard" to "This Is It" contradict the fact that the song
was registered with the title "This Is It" in 1984 under the US Copyright Office.

Behind The Mask (1979-1981) (Chris Mosdell, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Michael Jackson)
Michael Jackson
Original Instrumental Version by Yellow Magic Orchestra released in 1979 on their
album SOLID STATE SURVIVOR which drew Quincy Jones' attention. Michael recorded
his own version for the album THRILLER (1982), adding some extra lyrics and harmonies.
Due to legal battles concerning the song's credits Michael couldn't release it at that time.
In December 2010 a reworked version produced by John McClain was released posthumously on
MICHAEL, the first compilation of previously unreleased material containing 10 reworked tracks.
This new version contains live snippets of the famous 1992 concert at Bucharest from the
Dangerous World Tour, new production plus additional vocals supplied by Shanice Wilson.

Freddie Mercury & Michael Jackson
First considered to be included on the Queen album HOT SPACE (1982), and later on its
follow-up THE WORKS (1984), but both did not happen. In 1983 Michael Jackson then
sung the song and Freddie Mercury played the piano and this version was scheduled for
the album VICTORY (1984) by The Jacksons. As this was also dropped, Freddie went on
recording his own version and released it later. It is not assured if Michael Jackson and
Freddie ever sung the song together, a version that was leaked over the internet simply
merged Michael's and Freddie's voices from two totally different recordings: one being
the version Michael sung in 1983 and supported by Freddie on the piano, and another one
being Freddie's version he recorded later without any participation by Michael. Eventually
this song and also State Of Shock - Demo and Victory were supposed to be given for free
to two of Michael's loyal fans by Queen member Brian May's mother after they contacted
her.(3:01, and Instrumental Version - _:__)

not early enough completed, so it had to be dropped eventually. Many years later
two of the remaining members of Queen (Brian May and Roger Taylor) worked again
on the track, adding some backing vocals and wanted to release it as part of an
upcoming Queen box set. Unfortunately this could not happen due to copyright
issues. Eventually this song and also State Of Shock - Demo and There Must Be
More To Life Than This were supposed to be given for free to two of Michael's
loyal fans by Brian May's mother after they contacted her.

Developed after Michael was asked to write the theme to Addams Family
Values (1993) which he finally declined. Michael came up with the idea to
create his own spine-chiller. Its initial name was IS IT SCARY and Michael
asked Stephen King to help him writing the story. After the child molestation
accusations had passed it turned out to become a fourty minutes lasting
mini-movie. Originally it only consisted of its title track and some harmonic
melodies, but Michael later wrote Ghosts as the new main theme and also
included the song 2 Bad (1995) from his album HISTORY - PAST, PRESENT
AND FUTURE - BOOK I (1995).(5:35) "Blood On The Dance Floor - HIStory In The Mix"

Blue Gangsta (1998) (Elliot "Dr. Freeze" Straite, Michael Jackson)
Alternative title: Blue Gangster
Michael Jackson
One of three known songs Michael did with "Dr. Freeze" (=Elliot Straite) for the album INVINCIBLE.
The others are A Place With No Name and Break Of Dawn (the latter having made the final cut).
The song became first famous when a relatively unknown rapper nicknamed Tempamental put a version
by him and the also relatively unknown DJ Scoob Doo online at his mySpace profile. This version was
simply called Gangsta and is sth like a remix of the original song by Michael Jackson. Gangsta seems to
have been an illegal tryout that doesn't have the qualities of a real remix as it was full of DJ shouts and
only served as a way to get some publicity through the internet. It quickly disappeared from the said
mySpace profile and another remix - this time a real one - suddenly appeared on the mySpace profile
of Pras (from The Fugees). It's titled No Friend Of Mine and it could qualify as an official remix.
It's completed and no legal actions have been taken to remove it from Pras' mySpace profile.
For a long time many fans have thought that these tracks would have been collaborations that
Michael initiated but his PR department dismissed this wrong assumption. It has taken almost
4 years until Michael's fans could hear the original full version that Michael recorded back in 1998.

We Be Ballin' (1997/1998) (Rick "Dutch" Cousin, ???)
Ice Cube aka O'Shea Jackson
Remix of We Be Clubbin' (1997), the hit-theme of the movie THE PLAYER'S CLUB (1997).
Features Michael Jackson (on chorus), Shaquille O'Neal (spoken intro + verses)
Produced in 1998 in the A&M recording studios in Hollywood, California.
This remix was to be released on a NBA compilation album scheduled for the end of 1997
and was also going to be featured in commercials for NBA's "I Love This Game" campaign.
Michael Jackson was brought on this project by Shaquille O'Neal who has previously
guest-starred on the track "2 Bad" on the album HISTORY - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
- BOOK I (1995).
The entire project was finally shelved due to the player iniated strike against the league
that year.(Master Mix - 5:02, and Street Mix - 5:14) Ice Cube: "We Be Ballin' "
(Single Test Pressing CD, A&M Post production Acetate CD, 1998)
The "Master Mix" on this acetate abruptly ends at 4:47 and is silent for the remaining
playtime. However a proceeding beat can be faintly detected in the background for a
few seconds. This curiosity is based on the fact that production on the song was rushed
and not finished for this master.(Master Mix - 5:07) Ice Cube: "We Be Clubbin' "

<<<ATTENTION - THE FAKES>>>Fan-made FAKE version (4:50 /or 5:14 since April 2008)
SPREAD in mid 2005
This FAKE DOES NOT(!) feature Ice Cube at all. It mixed the 2003 remake with
JMC Mob, Raz-B & Co. with one of actually three slightly different choruses by MJ plus
one verse by Shaquille O'Neal.
NOTE: Around APRIL 2008 someone extended this FAKE version once again (having a
playtime of 5:14 now) in some attempt to make it look like it would be the "Street Mix"
which IS NOT TRUE(!) as the real version is 1) professionally mastered and 2) sounds
extremely different.
This new FAKE had a bit better sound quality as it did not have dropouts any longer.

Original source: Test Pressing CD
Michael Jackson sings the chorus three times and each time slightly different. The last
chorus is a longer one with more vocals.
Furthermore the "Master Mix" also includes all vocals by Ice Cube and Shaquille O'Neal,
features professional production and mastering and has superb sound quality.- (5:02, the song abruptly ends at 4:46 and the remaining playtime is silent)

scammer PATRICK ANTHONY LIPMAN
(known by various nicknames: e.g. mickyj007, mjtkop07, DJP777, BeatzMasterJ, Invincible91)
that has ripped off many MJ collectors.
The "Street Mix" gives the song a more edgy and urban feel. It's very different in
production, style when compared to the "Master Mix" and turns the end of the song
into an acappella by Ice Cube. It features all the vocals from the "Master Mix".Work In Progress (5:33)
LEAKED on April 30th, 2009 by
file-sharer "Dangerous Incorporated" who used another nickname for this purpose.
This version was an early work on the remix with Shaq & Mike. It uses much musical
elements from the 1997 original We Be Clubbin' and Mike sings the chorus only two
times here (the 2nd chorus being the longer one). The track contains some vocals
that were later dropped from the final version (some others are missing here) and
ends with an instrumental passage.

(I Can't Make It) Another Day (1999) (Lenny Kravitz)
Michael Jackson featuring Lenny Kravitz
Outtake of the album INVINCIBLE (2001)
All instruments are played by Lenny Kravitz who is also acting as main producer.
As the song didn't make it onto Michael's album, Lenny Kravitz has worked on a
new version in 2003/2004, re-titled Storm, which was released in 2004 on his
album BAPTISM featuring Jay-Z. The first ever snippet (ca. 1:30) of the original
song with Michael Jackson has been leaked on 2nd January 2010.
In December 2010 Lenny Kravitz released a reworked version on MICHAEL,
the first posthumous compilation of previously unreleased material containing
10 reworked tracks. This new version includes some changes concerning the
guitar arrangements and is more focusing on the drums. Around the release of
MICHAEL Sony mistakenly issued wrong press information which led to
some journalists continously stating the song would have been leaked in 2008.

Michael Jackson
Note: Do not confuse it with the unreleased 2005 charity anthem in aid

Originally intended for the album INVINCIBLE (2001)
AOL Music and Tonos Entertainment launched a songwriting-contest whose
winner, Ric Kipp, provides the lyrics for the song. But it has never been recorded.
This contest is actually confusing because Michael said in an interview with American
magazine TV Guide in November 1999 that the song is "a millennium song about the
world and the environment, that [he] wrote with Carole Bayer Sager and David Foster".
Now this indicates that the contest is needless because the lyrics existed already.

What More Can I Give (1997-2001) (Michael Jackson)
Michael Jackson with the following artists (in alphabetical order):
3LW, Aaron Carter, Anastacia, Beyoncé Knowles, Billy Gilman, Brian
McKnight, Bryton, Carlos Santana, Céline Dion, Gloria Estefan, Hanson,
Jon Secada, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, Michael McCary, Mýa,
'N Sync, Nick Carter, Reba McEntire, Ricky Martin, Shakira, Shawn
Stockman, Thalía, Usher, Tom Petty, Ziggy Marley
The song shares its name with two all star charity concerts "Michael
Jackson & Friends - What More Can I Give" which both took place in
June 1999 in Seoul, South Korea, and in Munich, Germany. The song
was scheduled to premiere at those concerts (possibly as a duet
with Luciano Pavarotti), but shelved. The song was then intended
to be released on the album INVINCIBLE (2001), but shelved once
again. Due to the terrorists attack on September 9, 2001, Michael
originated an all star charity campaign to support the victims and
their families by donating all revenues of his planned single. The
recording was completed on October 19, 2001. At Michael Jackson's
concert "United We Stand - What More Can I Give" at Washington,
D.C.'s RFK Stadium on 21th October 2001 the song was ultimately
performed by most of the involved artists. This performance in front
of 46,000 people was aired (in an edited version) on ABC on November
1, 2001. Sony Music canceled a possible single release in late 2001
without giving any reason for this decision but hampering Michael
Jackson's and some of the involved artists' attempt to distribute the
song. Footage of the recording sessions was first shown on German
TV channel ARD as Michael Jackson was presented with the Bambi
Award as Pop Artist Of The Millennium in November 2002 in Berlin,
Germany. It was once again shown at the Radio Music Awards in
October 2003. On October 27th, 2003, an edited version (3:36) was
finally released via the following two (now defunct) websites:
It could be bought as a pay download (2,- $) for a very short time, starting
on October 27th, 2003, whose revenues were used to support several charity
organisations. A Spanish version titled Todo Para Ti was also recorded
and finished in April 2002.(2003 Edit - 3:36) "What More Can I Give"

Michael Jackson & Nisha Kataria
Produced by Michael Jackson
Originally intended for a children charity project, but due to
the late 2003 child molestation accusations and the resulting arrest
on the 18th November of that year, the track has been dropped.
Michael Jackson has been working throughout 2003 on a brand-new
studio album (initially intended for release sometime in 2004).
At that time (2003), Dieter Wiesner was Michael Jackson's manager
and he introduced young music artist Nisha Kataria, his newest protégé,
to Michael. Michael Jackson invited Nisha onto his Neverland Valley
Ranch to record with her some tracks in his private recording studio
(contrary to claims by some individuals, Michael Jackson had such a
place at his home). She stayed there for about six weeks and Michael
wrote this song and they both recorded it as a duet. After Michael's
dramatic moral conduct in November 2003, all plans have been put
on hiatus since.
At the present moment (April 2010) it is still unknown if and when
the track will be used.

Hold My Hand (2007) (Claude Kelly, Aliaune "Akon" Thiam, Giorgio Tuinfort)
Akon featuring Michael Jackson
This 2nd collaboration between Michael Jackson and Akon - the first one being
Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008, a remake of the classic - was intended to be
released as the first single of Akon's album FREEDOM, surprising the public with
a vocal return from the King of Pop. However due to an early leak the song was dropped.
In December 2010 Akon released a reworked version on MICHAEL, the first posthumous
compilation of previously unreleased material containing 10 reworked tracks. It also
served as the first single as the executors of The Michael Jackson Estate have found
a note by Michael that specifies his wish to use this song on "[his] next project".
