[chokladen94]

[felixrade13]

good michael God bless you : )

[Primitive26]

Ooooooooooooooooh,, love that part like damn this beat is oo good. love MJ

[cutiefrogskermit]

he has the sexiest voice

[Dom20002007]

i loveeee this version! Its so raw...and seems to have more of an edge to it! If anything its better than the orginial!

[Aariyan096]

@Dom20002007 That's what I was thinking when he said "Her tongue became a razor!" It's more edgy. And listening to his demos are like you're actually watching him sing one-on-one in a studio as he's making the record.

[rasfi1]

only the he he its self could sold millions <3

[smoothrugby]

ou



[Robotrock04]

Amazing demo!

[diminiascla]

"mama seeheheheh baby!"

[nr1Holloweaver]

incredible upload, mike should have released a demo album of each of his records, i would have bought them all! :)

[billiejeanmylover]

[triumphjack]

Thank you for upload it :).

[THRILLERWILLNEVERDIE]

WHAT GIRL IS NOT MELTING RIGHT NOW! IM DYINGGGG HIS VOICE IS LIKE A EARSIM!!!! <3333333333333333333333

[shanavalli]

what he does with his voice at 3:49 is amazing!!

[rasfi1]

i dont get it this person do the same voice even after 100 hundred years, not like other artists who sing like a cat dying on stage IM JUST SAYYYYING :)

[JerrySpringerforever]

Wow this is so nice too haha ;-))).

[amozoness6]

Boy, Quincy sure did a lot ... hehe ;)

[MsMjluv]

That was amazing. Gotta listen with headphones.

[hatrickdicky]

nice when he's doing that funky guitar sound with his voice.lol



[neezy510]

♥♥♥♥♥♥his voice makes my heatr flutter like crazy!!!!

[TheInterceptor12]

If the demo is from the off the wall era, then how come he is already alluding to billie jean? was he already writing billie jean or is it just coincidence?

[trn17]

@TheInterceptor12 Probably a coincidence. He use some of the same words in many of his songs.

[draivableCj]

all demo album how bout that from his classics

[CAPOSHU]

Grandiose ! On voit tout le travail accompli (encore que pour la voix c'était déjà quasi copie conforme avec l'officiel° ! C'est dire si le talent que dis-je le don lui a été fait dès qu'il a commencé à marcher, je pense ! Sans parler de ces "human-box" et tout ça avant LA version album qu'on connait tous !!! ;O

[angelito6296]

I Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Like Dance This Amazing Demo!

Awesome Acapella At 3:49! =)

[2SXC2H8]

what the fuck did quincy jones do? nothing

[djcruzify]

@2SXC2H8

PYT SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?

[jewrab]

Appreciate all the comments, I love this

[jacksparrow14]

he does so much different voices in this song

[Vault800]

3:50 onwards: holy crap! I mean...i know that's how he did it...but i guess I never heard him do such intricate parts...its usually the background music and here he did the guitar interlude! My goodness....there will NEVER be an equal to Michael Jackson.

[Blackheathguy]

The track was pretty much complete, this is one of the thing is one of the things I like about MJ's demos he had the idea nailed down from the beginning.

[ladygaga5598]

nice :) i really love it. i got to save this.. thank you :) michael really did an album that every song would be a hit. the album was so successful because each song has the power to make you feel alright, he really did what he had said before. people bought his album not because it has a song that they like but they bought it because they love the whole album and all the songs it contains. :)

[ta4life27]

it killier became a killer song after its was done

[6labi4]

billions years ahead. Period. ooops at 1:41;-)

[djdangerismine]

hahaha this is so cool!

[he2tazzy4u]

this demo was made before thriller can out. Michael wrote the song during the "Off The Wall" era. Do you guys hear Rebbie, LaToya & Janet in the background? :-)

[IlikBenz]

@he2tazzy4u omg you can. crazy lol

[djcruzify]

@he2tazzy4u

of course it was made before thriller came out dumbass that's why they call it a demo

[ChazzyBoo262]

Where do you find this stuff?

[allthethingsyour]

I love when he raises his voice, those different pitches...Half the time I have no idea what he is saying..

[MahoganyLuvsMikeyJ]

aww poor mikeys voice cracked but the demo iz still off the chain.!

[miguelscorpion1]

very good

[otha2112]

Listen to it. It's awsome, the organ is totally different from the original.

[allthethingsyour]

A FUCKIN Genius! Michael!!!

[xxleandraxx1]

so fucking sexy! i got this on cd

[allthethingsyour]

@xxleandraxx1 Hey what album you have that has this demo version of wanna be startin something?

[skysmile108]

I like how he does the bass part in the beginning!

[Ahess]

Michael Jackson - King of Kings!

1958 - Forever

[SuperGorgar]

@Ahess King of Kings?....seriously? I love MJ but you know who the real King of kings is. Come on

[deppandjacksonfan]

@Ahess well king of pop...ther's only ONE King of Kings

[gut197]

I hope in the future there will be a thriller demo album! Or better yet a greatest hits demo album!

[Yen7584]

i like it .... <3

[MrsMJLoveAlways]

LOL this is really cute & it still sounds amazing! ♥

[NoarNoir]

I fell in love at first with his songs, very late I notice that he is gifted dancer as well.

[sybil721vane]

omg the vocals on this are INTENSE!! I love it!

[ShotokanGessy]

I LOVE IT :D

and I love Michael

[Blueheart91]

OMG!!!!! I LOVE IT! lol @ the way he was singing "vegetable". SO CUTE! His voice is so sexy! But what did he say at beginning? "I took my baby to the doctor with a ??? but nothing he found" and I KNOW for sure he didn't say "fever" like on the finished version.

[xXxedafxXx]

i think he said heartburn or something of that sense.

[KidCash994]

@Blueheart91 with a painful breakdown i think thats what he said

[yankees1cotton]

MJ4lyph I did. Funny MJ.

LOL

Hey when you say lol its cool.

Just Kidding

Crank up the pump

[JermaineLoveAmber]

This is Amazing!!

I love thit!!

Michael Joseph Jackson Forever he is the best and the hotst and the sexyst!!

I LOVE HIM FOREVER OUT THE BOTEM OF MY HEART!!

R.I.P love you MJ!!

[x713HTX713x]

I looove when he laughed. Lol he was so full of positive energy during this time period. I love that. He's just great.

[alfabetaom]

that is very true... :D put you have to admit... he ALWAYS was

[x713HTX713x]

He really was. Throughout everything, he always found the strength to smile. But you really have to admit in recent years, the press and the demons who surrounded him sucked the life out of him.

[alfabetaom]

i agree :( but he had so much they didnt suck it all out... have you watched 'This Is It'

[x713HTX713x]

@alfabetaom

Yes absolutely. He had alot left in him. Yes I have seen the movie, I own it. So after watching that, he was surely the same Michael just a little more educated and aware of how evil people can be.

[alfabetaom]

@yankees1cotton

insult fail.

[BetaOmegaMu]

even though i usually see the usage of the word 'fail' as a 'fail' by itself, i really couldn't agree more xD.

'Big Boy in 1st grade' xD

[yankees1cotton]

@alfabetaom I was kidding.

[shortti3]

Lol 1:40 always gets me his vocals were a bit strained there....also its interesting how he says vegetable in this song....aww he's so cute and thi is like a one man show he's so great at everything...is there nething he cant do?

[mizzissippibaddboy]

thats actually janet jackson on backgrounds

[WizzardOfGlue]

his voice sounds more powerful in this one

[MJ4lyph]

LOL did yall hear him laugh at 2:24 lol

[yankees1cotton]

lol lol lol lol....... lol

[love2singalot14]

@MJ4lyph now lol hahah so cute

[ukpkmkk]

i said you wanna be startin' something!

[mulry101]

Michael Jackson is SOOOO talented that even the demos he recorded are AWESOME!!!!!!

[sonjasorvari]

I really Love this!! <3

[ProudtobeaCanuck]

Hey guys you can find this demo on itunes just type in wanna be starting something demo in the search engine. You can also find the pyt demo which I think is also good oh and the billie jean one.

[bissanti]

A 'Thriller demo album'. Wouldn't that be nice for a must have?

[JoeB0y16]

@bissanti Yeah, but I do think it should include every single demo version of the songs on it. There's more than one Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' and Billie Jean, and there are alternative versions to Human Nature, Beat It, and The Girl Is Mine, so it may as well be a collectors set consisting of 2 or more disks worth of material.

[draivableCj]

@bissanti or a bad thriller dangerous and history pack with videos the tours and the songs whole package

[vassiliadis1]

@bissanti HAVE;

[draivableCj]

@bissanti or every album with demos,unreleased songs,and  every single song that has came out incluing other colaborations

[draivableCj]

@bissanti no a huge package feeled with albums unreleased songs demos and 2 concert dvd

[ukpkmkk]

@draivableCj Actually a package wtih every song ever composed and the Vicotry Triumph and high quality bad tour with dangerous history and this is it tour, would be a must.

[franchiseicon]

@bissanti no disrespect ... but don"t you think that the people at Sony have already thought about that idea? ... anything with the name Michael Jackson is going to sell, that is why they wanted his catalog so bad ...

[kaylynstar99]

he was an amazing EVERYTHING!

[t3ddyb3ar2k8]

amazing was not just great dancer but an amazing singer

[bbnnq]

If you can't feed ya baby! then dont have a baby!!! lol awwh

his voice makes me smile

[bissanti]

@bbnnq That's one of my favorite lines ;-D

[love2singalot14]

@bbnnq yea i always thought that was funny lol and cute....lol

[ComoLaFlorr]

omg i love him his voice is the best so great and sexy nobody is better then him

[chotlove]

2:56 --- Billie Jean is always talking??

[derbiester]

When nobody else is talkin!

[NickTheGuitarist1]

yep thats what he said lol

[MichaelJJackson50]

yeah,

so whatxd?

[bissanti]

@chotlove When nobody else is talking!

[shanavalli]

3:49 onwards omg.. excellent..now we know how he came up with stuff

[ComoLaFlorr]

what do you mean?

[filsk8ter]

I LOVE THIS SONG! It's so awesome! It's like the continuing song to Billie Jean. Plus, MJ puts a lot of soul into this song.

[halford99]

I love you Michael you're my nigga forever!

[filsk8ter]

Wow so this is how his music comes along. Gosh, Michael has so many talents, I bet no one can name them all.

[samsonmorrell]

bass line same all the way through out of it

[Kidz24]

I laugh every single time the song starts for some reason

xD

[gridergirl]

he's singing all the music parts himself!

now i see how his songs came to be.

[slappy87735]

i ment to give yuo a thubs up i your love comment

[hollabackkoolg]

macousa its hitian for i live it love it breathe it...i think

[cakez2009]

i love his voice...it is...wow...amazing

[Ediva75]

This is pure illness FOR REAL!! I love the rawness of this demo!!

[MsDimplecheeks]

mama se mama sa mama cusa does any1 know what that means? It sounds like something from an african language

[otaka732]

It is a West African chant, thought to be cameron it has no meaning and just put in for enthusiasm, and not to mention a gr8 beat

[mouila]

Cameroon is in Central Africa

[aryadeepghosh0047]

mama se mama sa mama cosa doesnt have ne meanin'... It iz jst a vocal music...!!!!

Keep Michaelin'!!!

[cutiepiekozy]

Actually it is african. My friend told me shes african. Her mom said its african

[jenny49095]

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Elking55]

this ison the new album

[Diopriest]

i love this it almost sounds like a finished product r.i.p. mj you are greatly missed.

[Diofan1952]

Thanks for sending this sweet song Diopriest, I love it too.

R.I.P  MJ

[whatitbee]

so cool to hear a genius at work.

[mjfan4512]

his laugh is the sweetest sound i have ever heard! i love him soooo much! ugh...i cant stand saying "was" when i talk about him..i have to say is..cause i feel he is still here!

[petrovam]

He IS still here!

[hahahahahahahNO]

This is so great. Minimal background music, and the main focus being Michael's beautiful voice and cute little ad libs. And! his cute (and need I mention, ingenius) little way of immitating music with his voice.

If you can't feed ya baby

then don't have a baby

mama se mama sa mama cusa<333

ahh i love this song!

That other poster was right, Michael made Quincy's job an easy one, having the song pretty much down in a single demo.

Where did you find this? Is it on a CD?

[PhillT1988]

I love that part at 3:49. It just shows that Michael didn't need to play any instruments when writing a song. He could just sing all the music parts himself

[crazypsychofangirl]

The way he says "breakdown" and "vegetable" and his laugh - really cute. Don't know how, but Mike never fails to make me smile. :)

[angellboi11]

see i love starlight. i wish the full version of starlight was somewhere out there. lol

[artsygirlnessa]

man, quincy jones, and the crew did not have to do much to michael's demos to make them record worthy. he pretty much had almost the whole song down packed and hot!

[roshielala]

that's what makes him such a genious

[MsAmerciangrl]

i know and they took all credit. Like 'oh michael was at his best with quincy when quincy didnt even contribute, u 'know.

[annazt11]

I know! On tv-programs about how Thriller album was made, they talk about what the others did with the sound etc. But the demos sound so similar to the final result!

A true genious

[vassiliadis1]

@artsygirlnessa  hot;

[vassiliadis1]

@artsygirlnessa 

[jmadtoyou]

@artsygirlnessa

I agree with your statement. I always said Michael was a musician as well as a writer/performer, but people always view him as the latter.

I always said, listen at the work the individual producers did without Michael and listen to the work with him. It always sound more amplified and full.

[MJDangerous92]

Where in the heck do you get demos of MJ? This is priceless!

[reesesncreme]

i love how says "vegetabllleee"i love 3:50 &the laugh

[lovemcxxx]

y cant singers make songs like these no more... if u fink bout it 80's and 90's wer da best music. nw music is rubbish... we need michael back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[0100010]

I love what he does 3:50.

[tonalpohualli]

wow!! did he really come up with the guitar interlude?, i thought that was from quincy jones

[MyKiCkNtOoNiE]

rightttt like just bring out his demos! they were hot. it would be nice to see how his songs became HIS SONGS!! this demo isnt that bad. but i hate starlight!!

[MusiicJunkiieee]

thank God MJ decided to change it to Thriller cause Starlight would have been a disaster smh

[wilsondylanmccartney]

This album is kinda Billy Wilder when he said him and his writer always tried to make a movie as good as Some Like It Hot again, but they just couldn't do it. And like Sylvester Stallone when he said he's always tried to make a movie and a climax as good as the first Rocky, but can't do it no matter how hard he tries. There's a spiritual magic in these type of things. It's not just you and your people making it; it's God making it with you. You're under a shining light at the time.

[zimzalabims]

he always got that percussive rhythmic whatever goin' as the blue print of his songs, love it!!!!!

[chelle315]

I noticed that too. Michael likes a lot of melodic bass lines in his music.

[rachel7036]

they need to release these..

[1mCZar]

Finally "Startin' Somethin" was renamed as "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin" and released in the "Thriller" album, when originally was a demo that almost was released in the "Off the wall" album.

[umbraluno]

true, that's what I heard, and Michael didnt dare to put that song on Off the wall album. I guess this demo is very acurate, to me it belongs to the "thriller" recording sessions.

[1mCZar]

That is a primitive version from "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" recorded for "Off the Wall" album, originally was called only "Startin' Somethin'"...

[Belwforam]

very very cool!!! ^^

[Chinnyboy91]

They should release "Thriller-the demos" on CD, i love his demos....so natural and clean

[justsusleeg]

where can I get this?

[roboticnoface]

you get it on the old thriller vinyl

[themessiah114]

Thats how i have it i love his demos but i could get this off youtube if i wanted too i mean really its just youtube

[DaSupermanOf1990]

where can I get a thriller demo (full)

[threecirclespatrick]

i always enjoy hearing the demos, thnks! :-)

[tobetamaki]

do you have the''thriller''demo?i think its called ''starlight'' or something like that

[jewrab]

No I don't sorry

[jermanemusicfan]

it wasn't a demo, it was th early version. quincy jones decided to change it to thriller.

[tobetamaki]

i knew that, thanks for reminding me though

[Angelparisjordan]

THATS WHAT A DEMO IS

[Ivie011]

His demos makes me giggle. I like when michael says rubbish. Its cute. I also love how his voice is scratchy a little here. SEXY!
