Bruce Swedien revealed the singer had completed a powerful track entitled Don't Be Messin' Around. Featuring what was described as a mesmerising solo performance, it is expected to be available to millions of fans once the terms of Jackson's estate are settled. Mr Swedien said of the ballad: "Michael plays piano on it, and it's just beautiful." He added: "Oh my God, there's nothing like it."

That came out around the time they were in the stages of releasing Thriller 25.

So its from the 80's.

I would take it as being from the Thriller session, but MJ always reworked old songs during recordings of his later albums.

The song has been re-recorded in 2008 with producer Buxer.

Ok

lets judge when we hear the songs, I bet the 2008 is amazing

Rolling Stone lists the 500 greatest songs of all time....Michael Jackson is only listed twice...

http://www.metrolyrics.com/rs

Prince is listed 5-6 times....how come no love for Michael? He made the greatest selling album of all time for crissakes!!!!! And here's what pisses me off...THRILLER IS NOT MENTIONED!!!!!!

There is no need to be all pissed about this list.

Because Rolling Stones was once primarily a rock and roll magazine. I think they appreciate Prince more as an artist because of the guitar playing.

They mention Bob Dylan, he's a folk singer. They mention Patsy Cline...

Rock singers? I think not...

I've been doing triple quotes here for years, but it looks like there's been some serious error with the quoting system on this page.

Here's another VERY SHORT...and I mean VERY VERY SHORT snippet. This time it's Don't Be Messin' Around

FINALLY! another demo from the Thriller session! I wish this would have been on the Thriller 25 like planned

Don't Be Messin' Around, well, this version anyway is from 1990. Still, I need to hear the whole thing NOW

HOW do you know these things?!

The person who has a copy of the track said that this version is from 1990. I downloaded the snippet last week when it first leaked

It's definitely not from the Thriller sessions. One way you can tell is the instrumentation. Michael was using alot of synths on his demos for Thriller. This track's instrumentation is almost the same as Cheater, which was recorded in 1986-87

The tag on the snippet was

ARTIST: MICHAEL JACKSON
ALBUM: UNRELEASED
GENRE: Blues
Date: 1990
Publisher: Easy Audio Cutter - Koyote Soft
Comments: SNIPPET - WESTVIKING STUDIOS

the same person who leaked the snippet of Can't Get You Off My Mind recently is the same person who leaked this

There most likely was a version from the Thriller sessions, but this one is from Dangerous

And Bob Zimmerman (aka Dylan) ain't really rock in my opinion. He sold out to it...but that don't make him no rock star....

I'm surprised he is only mentioned twice - but not even looking at the list I assume they would be for Billie Jean and Don't Stop Til You Get Enough.

As for Thriller - we can all probably agree its a good song but not a great song. Just because it was the biggest selling album doesn't mean that every song on there warrants being on the greatest list.

Also just to clarify - this was a list done back in 2004 - when it wasn't as cool for critics to like MJ. Would be interesting to see how he would fare these days with a new found appreciation for his art.

Actually, they were Beat It And Billie Jean. DSTYGE shoulda totally been on there. ¬¬

Personally...I think Thriller is great. Music video and all. It raised the bar and set a standard. Granted, it's not the best song MJ ever did, but it's still a great song and it deserves credit. Just my two cents.

And this list I found for RS was in the bookstore and it was dated recently. I don't think it's the list from 2004. The list from then had some J5 songs in it, I believe. Had 2, "I Want You Back" and "ABC" or "The Love You Save" (one of the two). These were not mentioned this time around.

RS never, ever had a respect for MJ. To this day, they still don't. As far as I'm concerned, they're just a bunch of self-righteous know-it-alls who think they understand the music world and it's talents. I've read some of their so-called tributes to MJ after June 25, and was horrified by how they wrote about him. They still tried to portray him as a misfit or freak. They learned nothing, and they're repentant for nothing. Their loss....and if karma exists, I hope it fixes their wagons.

Well, THIS version isn't from the 2008 sessions

Michael Jackson's Trust Lacks Trust in Kids

Originally posted May 30th 2010 7:26 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson apparently learned a lesson in finances -- his kids should not fall victim to consumer temptations that caused Michael himself to teeter on the brink of bankruptcy -- this, according to the details of the strings he attached to his children's inheritance.


News of the World got a copy of the Michael Jackson trust. TMZ broke the story ... under the trust the kids would get 40% of Michael's estate, Kartherine Jackson would get the use of 40% during her lifetime (when she dies the remainder of her share goes to the kids) and the final 20% goes to charity.

Here's what's interesting ... that we didn't know until now. Under the trust, Prince, Paris and Blanket have no control of the money until they are 30 years old ... until they turn 30 they just get income -- almost like an allowance -- determined solely by the trustee. When each of the kids turns 30, the trustees must then give them 1/3 of their share outright. When the kids reach 35, they get 1/2 of their share outright.

At age 40, the kids then get what remains of their share -- outright.

We've already published the will -- different from the trust. The will refers to the trust but the trust document has not been public until now.

As for how much the kids will get, that amount grows every month, as executorsJohn Branca and John McClain wheel and deal in business ventures that include concerts, movies and song releases.

I'm glad he's being discussed too but it's really not the same. I'm finding it hard to enjoy him and feel happiness like before and just get depressed all the time about everything they did to him even though it's over.

These songs are NOT from 2008/2009!!! It's just that most people (especially so-called "journalists" weren't aware of these titles).

All these songs are from different dates, e.g. "Wonderful World Of Candy" was recorded in 2003, "Thank Heaven" is from 1998 or "Neverland Landing" is even from 1988 (BAD era).

So please careful with blogs, "journalists" and fan forums. Most people have no clue about what they are actually talking about. I've seen many people thinking that these would be new songs MJ did prior to his tragic passing, but that's complete bullshit.

Do you guys think that Michael Jackson named his son "Prince" after the Artist? Or the prince of Bahrrain (spelling)? I really have no clue.

He named him after his maternal grandfather and great-grandfather, Prince Albert Scruse.
