Poll question: If a fan of any song of his - Your favorite Michael Jackson song as a solo artist?

I just thought about Michael about 3 days ago, thinking, it's a shame that people act confident he did everything people have said of him, we don't know what happened, and was listening to Human Nature (my favorite song of his). My bro called me and told me, and I honestly was shocked like most of you, finally setting in, how sad, what an odd life to live, but no one can argue that he wasn't a great musician!

What's your favorite solo song of his? One of the choices below, or perhaps your fave was Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel, Black or White, Don�t Stop Til You Get Enough, Wanna Be Startin� Something, Ben, P.Y.T.(Pretty Young Thing), or some other song?

5. I looked that one up, cuz I thought it was their 1st hit (it was, 1969!) and wow, how that describes

a bunch of his fans thoughts right about now... so many people were stoked about his concerts that were coming later this year.... how sad. I think he might have had cancer like many have rumored, and thus why the will action was done with the Beatles songs to give the rights back to Paul McCartney, and why he said this concert tour was the absolute last, and it was for the fans!

9. "Thriller" was an amazing combo of song + dance + "music video"...

"Thriller" is an amazing piece of work from the "Golden Age"
of music videos.
People made entire MOVIES for less $$$ than that video cost, back then.

"Music videos" were an AFTERTHOUGHT to an album in those days,
not a huge "Production Number" that existed in its own right...
"Thriller" changed that. And, in doing so, it changed our world.

Look, maybe the dude raped little boys, and maybe he didn't...
(personally, I think he DID, but that's not relevant to this thread)

But I feel the need to give credit where due, and he's due
an ASSLOAD of credit as one of the greatest artistic geniuses
that came down the pike in the late 1900's.
