Get rid of Wishing Well. As overplayed as Billie Jean is, it's still a better song.

no comparison - Billie Jean is a funk pop classic.

Wishing Well is a moderately decent pop song.

BILLIE JEAN!

Billie Jean should win!

From the moment the beats kicks in and the song builds up, it's pure brilliance!

Billie Jean.

Because it's perfect and i hear it or at least it's bassline nearly every weekend when i go out.

That song has layer upon layer of goodness. Shit! 22 years old and i can still pick out things in it i've not noticed before.

Are you people listening to the lyrics.

Wishing Well is poetry, damnit.

Yes, Billie Jean is infectitious. But the soul of Wishing Well is haunting and moving.

It's makes you crave. Wildly. Billie Jean just makes you dance.

BJ is sung with a little boy voice, Wishing Well has the deep, raspy passion of a Man!

My vote is for Wishing Well and I'm going to play it right now.

Something in the water does not compute, cause you folks have been acting irratonal. I don't hate wishing well, it's a good song. But please, how can TTD/Sandierta Yohoo or whatever he responds to is a replica of Michael. If we were talking about the present day, Sandy/TTD amy be more stable and normal, but Billie Jean is just Class above Wishing Well. So there, enough of my ramblings, I vote for MJ and Billie Jean. eek cool

EXPENSIVE SHIT

I have no idea how so many classics fell by the wayside, but this relatively unmemorable song remains.

Billie Jean is a much better song. Therefore it must win. Put your hate against MJ aside. At least recognise his musical abilities.
