Best MJ song after the 80's

I think the title says it all; just pick one (and only one) song that could be called as the best MJ song has ever written after the 80's.

My chooice: In the closet (in fact, one of his six or seven best songs of his career)

I'm going to assume "Stranger in Moscow" will be the runaway winner (with good reason). Just to be contrarian, I'll pick "Remember the Time," a big hit that is strangely underrated.

Stranger In Moscow. I think it's one of his best songs period.

For sentimental reasons, I'd say "Gone Too Soon" as well.

Agreed. That is a great song and the baseline is killer. I love the video as well (tho it's a bit confusing). Too bad it's so underrated...but I'll also add "Will U Be There" to my list. I just love that song.

Some of his best work was done after the 80s. I particularly like...

Who Is It
Stranger In Moscow
Blood on the Dance Floor

Well, there are many, but since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'd say "Is it scary?"!
