My ipod shuffle played the two songs back to back and I thought it would be a fun contest. I'm not even sure I could vote for one over the other so I vote: TIE

MJ.

No comparison.

It's like comparing "Computer Blue" to "Tick Tick Bang". Pffft.

oh man, I can't choose one but I used to say they sound so alike and say she copied him though now I think 'funny' stands on it's own too as a classic.

I guess I'll go with Lady in My Life, but I would tie them if I can.

Lady in My Life! I just love that song....one of my favs.

I would compare Lady In My Life to a Janet song like Again....but Michael ballads just shit on Janet ballads....but Janet dance songs shit on Michael dance songs.

Jermaine would actually give Michael better ballad competition....

Janet all the way!!!!!

Janet!

But style-wise, these two songs are very similiar, don't you think? Hearing one after the other, it hit me how close in tone and vocal execution they are.

Is this serious? I like 'Time' but it's not even close. 'Lady' hands down.

I don't think he would diss baby sis like that

You're right. ...

I'd call it poingiantly even especially how Janet gives a nod to "Lady" during the bridge.

Funny How Time Flies

MJ could neverr!!!!

I always thought the songs sounded similar, but MJ's came out first. Anyway, I love both songs but "Lady In My Life" is beautiful and MJ's voice is amazing in it.

I vote for "Lady In My Life".

Oh lord.

For me it's 'Funny how time flies'(probably in my top 10 Janet tracks of all time) - i hardly ever listen to 'lady in my life' (although i like it too)

There is no debate, MJ Hands down.

Lady In My Life. No question.

I've always pictured Michael rolling his eyes and laughing when he first heard "Funny How Time Flies."

LIML

I like them both, but Funny How Time Flies more so.

Lady In My Life !!!!!

Lady in My Life...

The change of tempo in the song when he goes "Lay back in my tenderness...." NEVER fails to make me feel giddy... like a lovesick fool.....

Then the killer ad libs in the song later on..... *melts into a puddle of goo*

LMAO!!!!!

Not really a tempo change, so much as it becomes more rhythmic. It is a grand part of the song though. Janet's song is good, but it's just a pop song, and a filler track. "the Lady In My Life" could have been a single, and should have been one.
