Popular misconceptions
- “Blue Powder” was written and performed by Michael’s driver, Gary Hearne. Brad Buxer, one of Jackson’s producers helped with some of the production, but Jackson himself had none in involving the song’s creation.
- The 2009 song under the title “Cry” is actually “I Want You To Stay” by Marsha Ambrosius (from Floetry). The song was written for Jackson and submitted to him a few weeks before his passing, but it was never recorded by him.[13]
- “Do the Bartman” was never recorded by Jackson, but solely by Bryan Loren who just name-dropped him in the lyrics.
- “Fly Girl” isn’t a collaboration between will.i.am and MJ. will.i.am only played the track to Jackson during the Access Hollywood interview in 2006, but Michael had no involvement with the creation of the track.
- Despite fans believing this is a unreleased song, “Kreeton Overture” isn’t, as it was featured as the intro to the Victory Tour and is also known as “Sword In the Stone“.
- The tracks “Angels Descend”, “Ashes to Ashes” or “Ceiling Dance” aren’t unreleased songs from Blood on the Dance Floor or even tracks Michael produced, they’re all pieces of music written by Nicholas Pike for and included in the Michael Jackson’s Ghosts short film.
