he simply was.......badder than anyone!


the second best point anyone has made(after kerns chain net idea)

1 smooth criminal/dirty diana
3 human nature(john mayer nailed it up at the memorial, and im so down with MJ i used to spin this track in 97-98, 15 years after its release, while getting chicks drunk on wine coolers so i could cop a feel)
4 billy jean(nuff said)
5 give in to me (i know it doesnt showcase his amazing voice to its full potential, and that it isnt his signature dance/r&b/pop glory, but i think thats what makes it a top 5 contender. its a straight up pop/rock song and he nails it. king of pop is right. weather its dancy pop or disco pop or r&b flavored pop or pop rock he was as good or better than anyone.)
6 leave me alone
7 dangerous
8 wanna be startin somethin
9 rock with you
10 somebodys watching me(rockwell- i know he only does the hook, but come on, is there a more memorable hook, and probably half the people who know that song think its MJ anyways)


ps my favorite version of MJ is 87-94ish, bad and dangerous.

pss i know you have always been down sam, and you know i have always been down, no band wagon, always loved the dude, always thought he was a great singer/musician/performer/humanitarian. i never thought he did anything to those kids, he probably made some bad choices(kid over the rail, public sleepovers with multiple kids) but i dont think he ever did it out of perversion or with intent to harm anyone. i think he genuinely loved people and kids and was trying to cope and figure out how to live and love and grow and relate, all while being the most successful and pressured and recognized entertainer in the world.
