I think I've stumbled across the original demo for Human Nature, an incredibly rough cut intended to get producers interested. Note the deep bass voice, very uncommon for Michael Jackson (but definitely possible - he had a 4 octave vocal range), Enjoy!

oh my god this is incredible and enlightening. interesting how this is in C major and MJ's is in D major. Seems they transposed it up to accomodate MJ's higher pitched voice. Also goes to show how collaborative of a project this track was - the subtle refinements to the lyrics and production by Bettis and Quincy Jones, the famous guitar riffs missing from this demo, and of course MJ's singing contributed to the perfect storm of a track we finally got on Thriller.

Yes, that's Steve Lukather singing. It's a step lower than MJ's version.

this is toto's demo... This wasnt even the song they intended on Quincy Jones hearing, it was a throwaway song on the B side. Quincy heard a diamond in the rough...And for the record Michael did this as best as it could have possibly been done.... Toto were good but come on man

Steve Porcaro (from Toto) wrote this song ans sang this demo.Toto didn't like the song that much because they wanted more Rock. So they gave it away but played most of the instruments for MJ'S Human Nature. I bet they regret it now. Steve Lukather even said it himself as far as I remember.I'm a huge Toto fan and I have to say that I'm glad MJ used it. It's one of the best songs I've ever heard and that's mostly because MJ's smooth voice goes very very good with this melody.

Is it just me or does this not sound like Michaels voice? Maybe he was deepening it on purpose.... Idk

I think this is the original demo Quincy stumbled upon while letting the tape run after listening to some other songs submitted by Steve Porcaro & John Bettis of the group Toto. Q being a great producer could hear its potential past the crude scratch vocal.

Actually this is Steve Porcaro singing this demo. This song would definitely would have been lost on TOTO recording it.
