I always felt that Blood On The Dancefloor was severely underrated. You had fly cuts like "Superfly Sister" and "Morphine." Michael really knew how to dig into a dark, brooding pop track. I hate how pop has become a euphemism for bubble-gum music. MJ shows that pop can be both dark and delectable.

There are a fair few I can't stand though.


Yeah. I lied. There are few i skip too in all honesty. There's usually a couple per album. Usually the sacharrine sweet songs. Songs like 'Privacy' annoy me too. I don't like him moaning on and on about the press and the media. It's old.

Isn't 'If You Don't Love Me' just the absolute worst thing he's ever recorded? Yes, including 'You Are My Life'.

repetitive, dull. Yes it's pretty dire. I think he was going for a Lenny-type sounding song. Didn't work. Truly horrible.

'Gone Too Soon', Be Not Always' and 'The lost children' make me want to hurl. There are others.

Much as i know i should probably hate it, i do like 'Heal The World' for some strange reason though. lol

I'd keep the greatest hits because it represents the whole "past present and future" thing.

But I'd like to replace You Are Not Alone and Come Together with Morphine and Is It Scary. That way HIStory Disc 2 would be even more eyepop

Oh absolutely! Anyway, here's my Top 100. It's probably changed a lot since I did it:

1. Stranger In Moscow
2. Get On The Floor
3. Money
4. Who Is It
5. Ain't No Sunshine

I like "heal the world" too. "dapper dan" is funny. Though the jackson 5 "boogie man" is pretty funny too. and "joyful jukebox music" (the song) is so apalling its funny.

U all know "for all time" is one of my fav songs of all time. Love that track. SOrta like a sequel to "human nature", but better.

His vocals were never as smooth post thriller,

Hearbreakhotel is probably his darkest tune...for good reason.

U beat me to it, lilgish. "Heartbreak Hotel" IS his darkest tune. That song is so underrated and I don't know why. The song is great.

He did it on the "bad" tour. Awesome live. He sped it up for the tour. So at least Mike liked doing it.

Its called "this place hotel" damnit lol

This is the hottest performance of Heartbreak Hotel at MSG. I think U2, Cyndi Lauper and where at this show also.

I totally don't get Jermaine's comments.

The black community has been very supportive of Micheal considering the circumstances.
