the worst track for me is: you are not alone.
next are: the ballads of the second half on invincible (I do like Cry though)
most annoying song: just good friends
. im a mid...lukewarm fan 
No, we cannot.
It's an odd question - or perhaps, an interesting question, I'm not sure. I don't think Michael released any bad songs. There are songs I'm fairly lukewarm about but not bc the song or the performance is bad, only that they don't set me on fire. It's also interesting how things can change. I always disliked SOOML - even the demo - but I heard the demo on radio recently and now it's a bit of a fave. Which leaves Rockin' Robin. I can live quite happily without that one!The question in this thread is to name what you think is his worst song, and y´all are dismissing his whole catalogue
everyone has different tastes that what makes his fans his fans. we're not all the same and appreciate different pieces of his artistry. just bc you're critical or opinionated about something/someone doesn't mean you don't like it/them, you're just a thinking, feeling, perceptive human. there's nothing wrong with that and using you're unique judgement and creating your unique taste, style, personality, rhythm, and way of self expression.The question in this thread is to name what you think is his worst song, and y´all are dismissing his whole catalogue
Get Your Weight Off Of Me
I disagree but I enjoyed reading your reasoning and respect it
god, you are so annoying!
OMG! The energy
Michael is loving it!!! He was so into it and already giving it more character. "Rockin´ Robin, HO!!!!!"
'Heal The World' being overly simplistic (lyrically and melodically) was an intentional decision on Michael Jackson's part.
So, for you, a song only works if it reaches number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100?? Bizarre. The song definitely works. Maybe not for you, but for many of us it sure does.
Heal The World was written specifically for children and for them to be able to tap into it. That is the whole point of its simplistic lyrics. That is why we hear children join in the chorus and that is why the song opens with a young child spoken intro and that’s why Michael’s voice merges into the child’s voice on the outro. Metaphorically, Michael becomes the child, hence he becomes the innocence of the child, hence the core meaning of the song and the whole reason for his Heal The World Foundation. And that is why we see children from the world in the music video where Michael is intentionally absent to let it’s core centre be the children.
Correct.
Exactly so.
Exactly so.
I'm not having a go at @Piek and I'm not dismissing the idea of a song getting to No.1. After all, that's one of the main ways we measure the success of a song. But I'm less keen on the worth of a song being measured by its chart success. Ngl, I had my issues with HTW many years ago. I did have a phase where I found it a bit too saccharine and it took me a while to get past that. Once I did I decided it's actually a genius song. I can't always keep up with Michael, he's often miles ahead of me, lol.
In her book on Dangerous, Susan Fast has this to say about HTW:
Susan Fast - 'Dangerous'. P.82:
"One of the reasons - perhaps the main one - that Heal The World is so easy to write off is because it's so laden with convention. There's a deep-rooted suspicion of convention in Western culture ... We think that conventions make for meaningless art ..."
I wouldn’t even describe you as a luckwarm fan, more a fan of a handful of songs. You list the best part of 80 tracks here that you don’t like. Nobody who describes themselves as a Michael fan dislikes the best part of 80 songs. You seem to have zero emotional ties to MJ. Why are you even here? You’re just trolling because you’re bored right?(not on my playlist ever): the earth song, heal the world, smile, childhood, don’t walk away, privacy, 2000 watts, this time around, you are not alone, in the closet, just good friends, will you be there, heal the world, keep the faith, earth song, little susie, 2Bad, invincible, unbreakable, heaven can wait, whatever happens, cry, break of dawn, the lost children, butterflies, you are my life, girlfriend, its the falling in love, burn this disco out, the way you make me feel, PYT, threatened, wanna be startin something, do you know where your children are, Chicago, one more chance, fly away, ghosts, gone too soon, got to be there, HIStory, hold my hand, much too soon, price of fame, slave to the rhythm, someone put your hand out, speechless, superbly sister, they dont' care about us, this is it, scream, people Of The World, A Place With No Name.
(if I couldn't skip I wouldn't die listening to): heaven can wait, rock with you, lady in my life, jam, off the wall, blood on the dance floor, remember the time, beat it, thriller, wanna be startin something, black or white, man in the mirror, smooth criminal, morphine (can't really remember???)
(pretty good but usually skip): streetwalker, liberan girl, stranger in Moscow (ehhh), I can't help it, baby be mine, dirty Diana, don't stop till you get enough, bad, dangerous, money, d.s.
(in rotation when im a mj era): can't let her get away, leave me alone, heartbreaker, who is it, tabloid junkie, another part of me, give into me, human nature, come together, you rock my world, speed demon, she drive me wild, billie jean, I just can't stop loving you, monkey business, say say say, the girl is mine, somebody's watching me (if I'm remembering right), whatzupwitu, why (3t)
bold are ones I'm dying to listen to & no im not interested in listening to any of his others songs. they don't really interest me like I said
I don't think many fans of anybody likes everything they ever put out. Unless the artist has a very small catalog, like they only released 3 or 4 albums. Like it's common for Beatles fans to say they don't like Revolution 9. But I like it. How many Stevie Wonder fans actually listen to the Little Stevie era records?
