It's crazy how we are almost close to hearing the entire recording sessions of B'Day 1. Deja Vu 2. Get Me Bodied 3. Suga Mama 4. Upgrade U 5. Ring The Alarm 6. Kitty Kat 7. Freakum Dress 8. Green Light 9. Irreplaceable 10. Resentment 11. Back Up 12. Creole 13. Lost Yo Mind 14. Beautiful Liar 15. Welcome To Hollywood 16. Flaws and All 17. World Wide Woman 18. Still In Love (Kissing You) 19. If 20. Can I Watch You 21. Next Ex 22. New Shoes (Postcard) 23. Blind Trust 24. I Can't Go On 25. Unknown 2nd Cam Wallace track I'll be honest, I'm not really a fan of Can I Watch You (crazy how it sounds like Amerie's Not The Only One) and I would've preferred her version of I Can't Go On after hearing that demo snippet. Hopefully her version will surface one day

@AccioEmpireBuilder Once I heard this, I thought of Amerie's Not The Only One

Now if Mathew ever does an unreleased DC compilation album, here's my dream tracklist 1. In My Life (The Dolls/Elektra Records outtake) 2. Wide Open (Studio Version) 3. Are You Ready 4. Yesterday (Destiny's Child outtake) 5. It's Been Too Long (Destiny's Child outtake) 6. Never Had a Love (Destiny's Child outtake) 7. I Try (Destiny's Child outtake) 8. Go Deep (TWOTW outtake) 9. Like Dat (Survivor outtake) 10. Girl Like Me (Survivor outtake) 11. Everything (Survivor outtake) 12. Never Enough (Destiny Fulfilled outtake) 13. Let's Do Us (Destiny Fulfilled outtake)

Tynisha Keli originally recorded Next To You but it was rejected and given to Jordin for her self-titled debut

Gordon Chambers is the one singing on the demo "Spending My Time" and he co-wrote it with Barry Eastmond I also discovered Bryan Michael-Cox and Gregory Curties produced the DC outtake "Sweetie Pie" and co-wrote it alongside Thuron Mitchell. Lil' Mo (Cynthia Loving) didn't write the track at all

Had to this add this unreleased 3LW track for the hunches section, this was produced by Rich Harrison for their Point of No Return album. I can totally see Bey singing on this track or do an entirely new song with the instrumental and it fitting on B'Day 3LW - Up To You I can also see this doing this other Rich produced 3LW track justice as well 3LW - Do Ya - YouTube

@AccioEmpireBuilder I wonder if "Can I Watch You" could be the second track Cam Wallace worked with Bey alongside Upgrade U

The song "Weeds" by Sugababes was originally written with Rihanna in mind https://youtu.be/olqYW3gN_c4?si=M2qxOSukVnbflyvJ Conversation about Weeds starts at the 18:00 mark

It's a shame she couldn't put her version of Kissing You on here and I'm surprised she left out Worldwide Woman

Yummy is so underrated, her album "The First Seed" is one of my favorite mid-2000s R&B albums and I also love the stuff she did in the group "Tha Rayne" (They originally recorded "No L.O.V.E" before Jhene Aiko)

Ooh let me add to this! Beyonce - Yes Kelly Rowland - Past 12 Michelle Williams - Change The World LeToya Luckett - No More

Can't believe I never posted this, these are demos that were pitched to DC4 when they were still under the name of "Destiny" in early 1996 during the beginning of their time at Columbia. Interestingly enough, the tape also had their previous name "The Dolls" (named by Daryl Simmons) which they were using when signed to Elektra in 1994/1995. Destiny ('s Child) aka The Dolls - Unreleased EP Demo 7 Tracks - Mega Rare Exclusive R&B - 1996 - YouTube RIP to Andrea Martin (Don't Let Go, Lose To Win, Before You Walk Out of My Life, I Love Me Some Him) who sung one of the demos here titled "Fallin' In Love" Here are the credits I found for the demos - Fallin' In Love (Andrea Martin, Bradley Young, Dow Brain) - Vibe With You (Robert Jerald, Sherre Ford Payne) - Dreams Come True (Robert Jerald, Sherre Ford Payne) - My First Love (Robert Jerald, Melissa Ritter, Ricky Jones) - Right Here In My Life (Andrea Martin, Greg Smith) - My Baby's Coming Home (???)

Had to make this post since the 25th anniversary of her unfortunate passing is coming in a couple of weeks. There's not much info out there about what songs could've been pitched to Aaliyah during her seven-year career but if anyone on here has anything, feel free to add! @AccioEmpireBuilder @nooniebao @guppypuss Age Ain't Nothing But a Number (1993 - 1994)The Isley Brothers ---> At Your Best (You Are Love) One In a Million (1995 - 1997)Marvin Gaye ---> Got To Give It Up Sugah ---> Sugah & Spice (First track by Missy Elliott & Timbaland ever pitched to Aaliyah, rejected due to lyrics sounding juvenile) ---> Candy by Tha Truth The Isley Brothers ---> Choosey Lover Aaliyah (1998 - 2001)Be Your Fool (Terrence Dudley) ---> Rejected Bounce (Terrence Dudley) ---> Rejected Can't Do It On My Own (Phalon "Jazze Pha" Alexander, Johnta Austin) ---> Gimme Some by Toni Braxton ft.

Had to add this Destiny's Child track here for the hunches section. Listening to this I can totally hear Brandy on this and it would've fit well with the material for Human Destiny's Child - Nuclear - YouTube

Another song that comes to mind that can be added to the hunches is "Girls Like That" by Blaque that was recorded for their album "Blaque Out" in 2001. It was written by Dallas Austin & Debra Killings (who of course does backing vocals) Blaque - Girls Like That - YouTube
