Ok, so it wasn't cool to like Michael Jackson when I was in HS....it was heavy metal/rock or else...

As strange as he was, let's face it. He's an iconic figure who created mega hits and some great songs.

Here's a forgotten yet one of my fav songs from Michael Jackson.....he seemed normal then...

This is kind of like choosing your favorite child, it's impossible to choose just one.

If I had to choose just one, methinks nothing can beat "Beat it"

Best Video
Black or White - the uncensored version with the bizarre and somehow awesome excessive crotch grabbing/car smashing part that they stopped showing on TV due to complaints. But when that crazy face morphing technique was shown to the public for the first time, everyone's collective jaw dropped. In the holler my grandma (one of those "born in 19-aught-7 not really racist but was raised back then" types) was sitting there watching the thing and she goes, "Daaaayum. That white girl turned into a colored boy! A good lookin' colored boy I might add. "

Best Song
Remember the Time or Ben...can't decide...I liked Jam, too...

Oooooh, wow. I don't know if I can do it either. Boy did I love him growing up in the late 80's. And his music videos were ridiculous. MJ was actually my first concert I ever went to back in 93...there were well over 100K in attendance, so it was pretty insane.

Think I may have to go with The Way You Make Me Feel, and Billie Jean. Heck, I don't know if I want to admit this, but I even liked the beat to his "newer" one You Rock My World.

I am a hopeless romantic, so my vote goes to "You are Not Alone." I remember when I first saw the video as a kid, I was stunned by how different this video was from his other videos, esp how little clothing he had on. Oh those were the days

absolutely beautiful song...though his post wacko-jacko material doesn't get much fanfare, it's clear that even if he lost a step or two, he still had those great pipes

I wonder who caught the hat in the second video and how much they sold it for? Of course, pending that they could prove it's authenticity.
 
My favorite songs were: P.Y.T, smooth criminal, and human nature. I also liked the song "I'll be there" by the Jackson 5.
 
It's a tie between Smooth Criminal and Billie Jean. He may have been Jacko but he's still one of my favorite solo artists.

+1 for You are Not Alone. That song and the cd it was on introduced me to MJ when I was a youngin
 
"Black and White" is definitely my favorite song overall, but as for his slower songs I'd have to say "Heal the World." I'm surprised this was not already said. Just curious, has anyone else heard of this one?

The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean.

"Oh I'll be workin from 9 to 5... to buy you things to keep you by my side."
I think I learned my dating etiquette from MJ. 😀
 
My favorite song was Remember the Times! The best video was Smooth Criminal, that video was before the Matrix movie times, so when he leaned down everybody was on their feet cheering!

I'm partial to Billie Jean.

Man, I used to go to hip hop competitions in college and there wasn't a single one that would go by without a crew using MJ in one of their sets.

There was a scene in Back to the Future 2 where Michael J Fox walks into the Cafe 80s bar and there is a movie TV screen with Michael Jackson as the waiter, and Beat It being played in the background.

Another thing was when in Back to the Future 3 when he got sent to the 1880s, the bad cowboy was making Michael J Fox dance by shooting at his feet, and he ends up doing the moonwalk.

All solid picks....really shows his range...I love the last two you listed, beautiful songs 🙂
 
This is really tough, I love a lot of Michael's music but If I had to choose, I would pick Man in the Mirror and PYT. Love those songs 😀
 
and who else could ever look cool in a white tee, black pants, and white socks
 
favorite video: thriller; i remember seeing it for the first time and thinking it was a movie. favorite song: don't stop till you get enough. everytime i hear that song, it brings a smile to my face and makes me want to dance around the living room 😍
