Favorite Michael Jackson song

ashmamma84 · 06-25-2009, 07:07 PM

So, my partner and I have opened up a bottle of wine trying to make sense of this day; and we started to reminisce. What is one of your favorite MJ songs? Do you remember when you first heard it?

I want to try to lighten the mood a bit.

I'd have to say "Wanna Be Startin' Something" is one of my faves.

How about you?

Stranger in Moscow
Beat it

Give in to me

This was the background music to so many great car rides in my life....

Just a few weeks ago in fact.... I was in a car coming back from a party and this song was on the radio... and everyone sang along.
Three egyptians (two with only the most basic grasp of english), three americans, everyone knew the lyrics.

"Thriller"

As Horrifically Popular as this one is.
It's still my Favourite, as is "Beat it"

mszwebs · 06-25-2009, 07:25 PM

The Way You Make Me Feel and Smooth Criminal

Thriller was my favorite video as a kid. I remember when it came on MTV, and my older sister ran out and bought the album. We had a total of four copies on vinyl cause we played that track so much it kept getting scratched.

Billie Jean is a good one too.

"The Way You Make Me Feel" is mine and Adrian's song. It's both my ringtone and my ringback song.

Les Toil · 06-25-2009, 07:40 PM

Michael solo? I guess I'd still have to go back to his very first solo single "Ben".

Can't find a better video of him performing "Ben" during that time than this one:

Leave me Alone... love it.. the whole attitude behind it. Don't remember what controversy it was for but it was aimed at some interviewer or something or other... someone help me out here.. lol who ever knows what i'm talking about because I don't.

Smushygirl · 06-25-2009, 09:10 PM

His vocals as a child were unparalleled.

In his solo years, I loved Wanna be Startin' Somethin'.

I also love this song:

This is the long form video, they do get to the song.

Human Nature written by members of Toto who also played on the track.

Bad

I posted a link to the same performance, Les. I vividly remember seeing this very performance on tv...and seeing the movie around the same time. The song has always touched me.

I've gotta throw in with Smooth Criminal - far and away the one track that digs deep in me.

Also love Black and White, though I know it is not nearly as beloved as most of his other works, but it's always made me happy. I remember being a kid and loving the vibe of that video.
