As you can see, I left out Liberian Girl, as I felt Free is a better slower song that fits the album more, JGF imo is great for the album, its a really really fun song with 2 legends. Streetwalker starts a little story, MJ loves a streetwalker girl, they cannot stop loving each other but then she betrays him.
Do You Know Where Your Children Are I think works great for the album, It sends a powerful message to parents, which is literally, "Do You Know Where Your Children Are, because its now 12 O' Clock."
Then I put Throwing Your Life Away for a continuation of this song, as it basically continues on what happens if kids take drugs, its almost a Kid POV of DYKWYCA. Then its Man In The Mirror, I was a bit decisive where to put it, but I decided it belonged after the 2 drug related songs.
Loving You perfectly encapsulates MJ vocals at his best, I love his soft voice in that song, so much better than Liberian Girl. The song is also worked on more to be more than 3 Minutes and 3 Seconds, Maybe a 3rd verse. I also renamed the song to not get people confused with IJCSLY
Smooth Criminal is after, I really don't think its the best spot for it here, but Ithink it works great as one of the last songs of the album
Price of Fame is right after, talking about MJs struggles with paying the Price of Fame. Then Leave Me Alone, I think its the best album finisher of his entire discography, just a great funky song that makes you want more.

Due to this, there are few more well known songs of MJ that people still recognize to this day, Streetwalker, DYKWYCA and Price of Fame, Streetwalker due to the name of the song, isn't played on many radios, while DYKWYCA and Price of Fame are about as popular as TWYMMF and Bad
Bad, TWYMMF, Speed Demon, Streetwalker, Dirty Diana, DYKWYCA, Man In The Mirror, Price of Fame, Smooth Criminal and Leave Me Alone all receive music vids
Do you agree? Do you disagree? Was this really really Bad HAHAHAH heh. What changes would you make?
