I think the fact that 'Other' is leading speaks to how deep the man's catalog was.
My favorite is 'Get on the Floor' from Off The Wall.
A reminder: follow the Code of Honor in the ensuing discussion. Discussing Jackson's controversies isn't deathtrolling, but comment on the event without violating any rule but especially #1:
Above all else, respect others. Address issues and arguments and refrain from making personal attacks. If you see something disrespectful or inappropriate, report it - rather than further inflaming the situation.

Too numerous to list. As for this vote, it was a toss up between Billie Jean, which to this day makes me want to dance anytime I hear it, and Way You Make Me Feel. That's another one I feel the need to step to. Since I had to choose one, I chose Billie Jean..whoohoo, hee hee hee

My favorite MJ song, "Human Nature"; my favorite MJ video, "The Way You Make Me Feel" - I thought for sure he had something going on with the girl in that video (great acting or love undercover). Rest peacefully Micheal...

I already voted for "Beat It," but I also really liked his other duet with McCartney, "Say Say Say." It was a nice blend of both their personalities.

I loved all of his music, but it was "The man in the mirror" that had a big impact on my own life. I felt as if he was reading my thoughts when he wrote that song. Another one of my old time favorites was "Ben". Michael had a pet mouse that he would get up in the middle of the night and feed. He would crawl under the kitchen table and wait for his friend and he would tell his friend what he could not tell anyone else. He felt as a child that the mouse was the only friend that he had. The mouse was killed by his father.

I read that a long time about Michael-his pet mouse- didn't realize anyone would even remember that about him. "Ben" has always been my favorite. I always like him and felt so sorry for him. You have to know his childhood had a big impact on his adulthood. Hopefully he is at peace now.

He was such a cute young boy and good looking teen, what a shame. I prefer to remember MJ when he first came on the scene in the early 70's: Got to Be There and I Want You Back and Ben. For someone so strange and eccentric, his songs could really touch you in some part of your life. He knew he wasn't normal, but he could sing about normal feelings and ideas.
