      My favorite Michael Jackson song is “Will You Be There” from the 1993 movie, “Free Willy”. I love the beat and melody, the choir humming and singing in the background, Jackson’s passionate vocals, and its themes of longing for friendship and love.

Music in order to be good has to stimulate one's mind as well as one's heart. Jackson’s music does not fit this criteria. It is just pop music which I do not find at all appealing.

For MJ, there are three made for TV movies and plenty of documentaries, and as for Amy, just plenty of documentaries. Not to mention, there's also going to be a miniseries about her which I don't see the point because it's the same story.

I don't know when we'll ever have someone as talented and groundbreaking as Michael but he'll always live on forever including Tina Turner.

    There’s one song he sings so great, “You Are My Life” which he sang for, at the time, Prince and Paris (this is before Blanket, or as he is called now, Bigi, was born). When I heard the song he was like an Angel singing this.

    Micheal Jackson a lot of iconic and outstanding songs. My favorites are Billie Jean and Beat It, which I can listen to over again. RIP MJ.

    I still listen to MJ's music any chance I get. Beat It is still my favorite MJ song. And to this day, I still say if he was still alive his music would have elevated even further for sure.
