I don't agree with 3/4 of the shit Will.i.am puts out. I want to hear what Michael had in his vault...  Imagine being able to go through your favorite artist's library?

He says Jackson was a perfectionist and would only want music released that he sanctioned.

I agree. But he also has to realize that the fans want to hear it.

Its so sad he had to die. After seeing "This is It" I truly believe that had he had the opportunity to do those shows he would've regained his fame.

maybe he's mad because they haven't called him to rework some tracks

This.

What you will end up hearing is like the remixes done for the anniversary Thriller edition.

will isn't exactly a dj quik or dr. dre, the thriller remixes were awful. unreleased MJ music is likely to be better than any 'reworks' given the likely candidates that would be involved in the production.

Were they seriously confirmed? 

It might be cool then...

I just hope they have clean vocals and full songs for the project, otherwise I don't wanna listen to it.

nooooo....i presume a release of older material would be using a cleaned up version of the original production, no remixing or fiddling as such. i was just comparing will to a couple of producers who would be worthy and capable of making something classic if they worked with MJ's vocals.

Yeah.  I was thinking like they get the producers to recreate the original beat but give it a more modern feel.  Altho there's quite a large timespan from his last album, so they might be able to just str8 release original material with the original production and it might sound okay?

The only thing is I think he had alot of unfinished songs, I don't want to hear half finished songs, or pieces of 3 songs compiled together to make one song.

from what i've read there are a LOT of unreleased tracks laying around in the MJ vault for them to be able to put together many albums worth of material. finished stuff too. i got nothing against updating the production, but most efforts would be a step backward. most producers doing the rounds today would just fuck it up. a good cleanup should leave the material sounding completely up to date 8)

hmm supposedly there is enough finished songs for several albums but the deal with the estate is to release 10 over a certain timespan. i'd rather have fewer quality releases than padding it all out with stuff that isn't up to releasable quality or shitty remixes.

Yeah, agreed.  If you can grab like 16 of the best songs, put them all on one album.  Then if you wanna start the 2Pac shit with all the second ditch efforts go ahead. 

I just want one good album of complete songs.

Yeah, I'd be down for good mixing/mastering on the OGs and nothing else.

"Michael Jackson's first posthumous album of unreleased material is due out in November, a rep for the King Of Pop's estate told Rolling Stone.

More than 100 unreleased Jackson songs are believed to be in the singer's vaults, his manager, Frank DiLeo, said. The collection includes works with will.i.am, Akon, and Ne-Yo. "There are a couple songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to cut that are sensational," he said.

Jackson made dozens of songs for each record. "Every time that (Jackson) recorded, he over-recorded," former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola told Rolling Stone last year. Mottola added that all of the songs were quality tracks that could have been hits. One of the records, "Don't Be Messin' Around" is from the Thriller era. DiLeo said a few leftovers from the Bad album are "sensational."

Rodney Jerkins, who produced Jackson's Invincible record, recently discussed his plans to collaborate on a forthcoming Jackson album. "I'm about to work on a new, unreleased project that we're talking about doing right now," Jerkins told VladTV.com. "It's definitely going to come. It takes time. You have to do a lot of the red tape, but yeah, there's going to be (an) unreleased Michael Jackson."

A few of Jackson's unreleased tracks, "A Place With No Name," "Another Day," and "This Is It," surfaced last year.

The November album will reportedly feature 10 songs. It is part of the new deal the Jackson estate struck with Sony in March. The $200 million venture will yield 10 albums in seven years, the Wall Street Journal reported. "

LOL yeah it's sad because he had to overdose on drugs. Hope this pedophile had the most painful death he could possibly have.

This album might be good.  I'm obviously gonna check it out.  I was impressed with "This Is It" (the song).  It was redone without MJ and came out really good.

$200million for a 10 album deal of Michael Jackson. Quite low when you base an approximate 4 million for each of those would generate a lot more than that

That song was good, but the sound quality of the vocals worried me..  Could definitely hear some white noise throughout the song.

I agree 100% with Will. What's even worse is that Michael HATED Sony, and was finally free from the label, but now his estate has made sure Sony regained control over his (posthumous) projects... I don't think these people have any love for Michael whatsoever.
