    Rock With You from the Off The Wall album

  • By Slytherin Princess, July 8, 2009 @ 8:53 am

    Billie Jean, because it tells a story that’s actually fairly common these days.

    Speed Demon – I just loved watching Moonwalker for the first time and really enjoyed the energy of the extended Speed Demon

    I agree with Slytherin Princess. Billie Jean

    Smooth Criminal has special memories for me because after I saw that video, I wanted to dance like him and tried to dress like him.

    black and white cuz i luv the video clip and its got a lot of meaning to it!

    Rock With You from Jackson’s Off the Wall album (1979). The whole album was full of great songs. There was a promise of good things to come and a feeling that he was free of the Jackson 5 and loving it. Thriller was really good too, but he was changing. Rock With You was feel-good, young and carefree. Great to dance to. It showed off his amazing voice in an irresistible, laid back way. And of course I have memories attached to the song, so I guess that adds a sentimental aspect to the choice.

  • By tigarchick, July 26, 2009 @ 9:00 am

    Man in the Mirror…
    I think it a real song, bout real things that ppl think about.
    But all are good but this one just make sense to me :)

  • By Stranger in Seattle, July 26, 2009 @ 8:36 pm

    Agh that is way to hard! I have and know all his songs!
    They don’t care about us because it very true.

  • By Stargirl C, July 29, 2009 @ 1:38 am

    I love all his music, but he won’t be in the US :( *

  • By MichaelJE, July 31, 2009 @ 4:41 am

    I Don’t Now But If I Had Pick I Wood Be “You Rock Me World” Why What Not To Like The Beat, The Voice The Lyrics. And The Video Had Chris Tucker, Michael Madsen, Billy Drago And Marlon Brando. The Story Tore Out. And The Dancing Well It Is MJ.

  • By ★Thriller Lover★, August 8, 2009 @ 5:20 am

    But if you’re asking for my favorite, it’s Man In The Mirror..
    Why? Because it makes me almost cry…

    I hate him. I don’t listen to him and would pay to see his nose fall off on stage.

  • By Kim J, August 13, 2009 @ 2:41 pm

    i have many favorites. but if i have to choose, i guess i’ll go with stranger in moscow. it’s just so beautiful.

  • By fee, August 14, 2009 @ 9:00 pm

    it was when he was younger and original he was so good………. now he is just an attention seeker .
    have a good look at the interview he did about the come back
    it isnt him.
    the walk is different,
    the talk is deeper,

    shame on this if he is trying to make money from a fake.
    not fair to the public at all, just cause he lost everything so he needs to make money but he is to sick to make money so this is the next best thing. to pretend to come back.
    shame on him cause he was such a nice person as a child and through early years. Now look at him…
    what a waste of a great dancing singer

  • By trishmj05, August 15, 2009 @ 6:27 pm

    i like all but i love rock with you….

    it is special to me because rock with you is my song 4 him..^^

    and also YANA ..you are not alone..

    his voice is very romantic!!

    i love himm….!

  • By Stranger in New York (2nd Acct.), August 15, 2009 @ 8:05 pm

    Correction:
    Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo in Beat It
    Anyways…I’m so sorry…but I am a huge Michael Jackson fan.
    But, I can’t choose. However, I go through Michael Jackson song phases, where I just keep listening to one song all the time and start falling in love with it LOL.
    Anyways, now, it’s Threatened from his Invincible Album.
    Don’t turn your heads just because it was his least successful album (it could have sold more than Dangerous if it received enough advertising, which didn’t happen because of problems with Sony)
    Threatened is an amazing horror song. It shows that Michael’s cool enough to write almost like a diss song to himself.
    Greatest singer, dancer, songwriter, and entertainer in the world!
    Too bad I live in New York, I SO WANT TO GO TO LONDON!!!!
    MJ Forever

  • By Tiffie, August 17, 2009 @ 5:53 pm

    My favorite song is “Someone Put Your Hand Out” It’s a very sweet and loving song and the vocals on it are amazing. Michael’s range is wonderful and gentle.

  • By christinehowell@y7mail.com, August 18, 2009 @ 6:35 pm

  • By Golden Boy, August 19, 2009 @ 4:59 pm

    Billie Jean you would say just off the top of most peoples head . without any dout the greatest pop song ever truley inspirational to everyone who heard it and witnessed it .

  • By plma, August 21, 2009 @ 12:39 am

    Ben, because at the time of this song coming out I was living with a dirty rat!!! He was like Jackson, cute, presentable and sang like just for me, lying scum!

  • By *MM20*, August 23, 2009 @ 10:58 am

    That is a very hard question…he has so many awesome songs.

    I don’t have one absolute favourite but i can give you my top 3.

    Billie Jean – Love the bass line…and it tells a story that many can relate to.

    Black or White – Great message, and i love the guitar work

    You Are Not Alone – Very emotional lyrics that Michael sings perfectly.

  • By Zara, August 25, 2009 @ 6:10 am

    Thriller – the story, dance, wow…
    Beat it – it’s so catchy
    Billie Jean – a classic
    P.Y.T – it makes me happy
    Smooth Criminal – amazing video ever, unbelievable moves…
    Who Is It – raw and intense
    Scream – perfect to listen if you’re pissed off
    Ghosts- nice beat
    Butterflies – lovely ballad
    You Rock My World – funky music that will get you dancing

  • By alycia086, August 25, 2009 @ 8:34 pm

    “Man In The Mirror” “Cry” “Heal The World” “Will You Be There” and “Earth Song” Because they are songs that have such strong and meaningful lyrics. Everyone can relate to one of his songs…whether they want to or not.

  • By amy k, August 26, 2009 @ 1:30 am

    mine would be “will you be there”

    it has a lot of meaning to the song! i love it!

    I’m not a big Michael Jackson fan, especially recently, but “Off The Wall” and “Thriller” were great albums. I especially like “Rock With You.”

  • By Ms. Mitchell 18_*Future Star*, September 3, 2009 @ 12:45 am
