In celebration of Michael Jackson’s birthday, I have compiled a list of Michael song’s that I enjoy. This is my way of paying homage to an icon, who is inarguably the greatest entertainer of our time. Even though Michael left us three years ago, his music lives on forever.
10. “Beat It”. This song was edgy and cut throat. Michael didn’t take any mess!
9. “Black or White”. I liked this song because Michael showed that people can come together in unity no matter their race, creed or color. It displayed a positive message.
8. “You Rock My World”. This song was upbeat and modern which I loved. It showed a more mellow side of Michael.
7. “Thriller”. The biggest pop song ever and the biggest song of his career, Michael definitely left his mark in the world with this record. It still gets air play till this very day.
6. “Bad”. This song showed Michael’s bad boy persona and he didn’t come off as cheesy. He didn’t appear to pretend to be a tough guy. I guess he was naturally cool.
5. “Dirty Diana”. I really liked this song because it had rock star appeal. It told a story of a woman who did Michael wrong and the hurt he felt was so intense. Every time I hear this song I rock out.
4. “The Way You Make Me Feel”. Mike’s demeanor in this song was direct, letting the female he admired know that he was into her and she aroused him. Again, Mike didn’t sound corny when it came down to expressing his feelings in his songs.
3. “Remember The Time”. I really enjoyed this song and video because it came out in the 1990s. The all star cameos and the Egyptian theme made this video really enjoyable to watch.
2. “Human Nature”. This song makes me so happy. It just reminds me of the way life works and how falling in love is a natural thing because it’s human nature.
1.“Butterflies”. This is my absolute favorite song by Michael. Another song about love, it tells a story of how giddy one gets whenever they are around the person that they really like. It shows off a more grown and sexy Michael.
