Leave me alone, who is it, jam, smooth criminal, the way you make me feel, dirty diana, they don't really care about us, 2bad, will you be there, Invincible

you can't have a conversation about Mj's voice while leaving out all his angry, growly, scratchy, raspy stuff.
 
I think its best vocal performance is : Will you be there and speechless :)....
 
Some of my personal faves are:

Music & Me
Man in the Mirror
Ben
The Lady in My Life
Get on The Floor
 
So many, but for me Who's Lovin' You stands out. It really shows how outrageously talented Michael was.
 
- Who's loving you
- Will You Be There
- Man In The Mirror
- Lady In My Life
- Earth Song
- When I Come Of Age
- That's What You Get (For Being Polite)
- Rock With You
- Smooth Criminal

and probably lots more.
 
Who's Lovin' You
Human Nature
Will You Be There
Show You The Way To Go
Speechless
Stranger In Moscow
Lady In My Life
They Don't Care About Us
You Are Not Alone
Butterflies

...And much more
 
I've always LOVED his voice in 'Everybody'. Listen to it again and I know you'll agree.:D

One of my fave bits:
"Heeey I've done my time and I have paid the price.
All you have to do is state my name out loud" The way he gets rid of the falsetto when he sings 'out loud'.

She's out of my life LIVE - the "and it cuts like a knife" part at the end... PRICELESS!!!!
 
Most people seem to be saying they think his greatest voice is his 'pure' voice (for want of a better word). For me, I love the growly voice and the performance that most shows off the power, the growl and the energy is the acapella of 'the way you make me feel'


And the Billie Jean acapella shows so much more than the actual full production


The bit where he sings 'but the kiiid is not my son' The word kid goes from falsetto to 'pure' to 'growl' all in one movement, its absolutely masterful
 
MAJOR BUMP

There's so many..

However.. I'm going to nominate the dark horse - Say Say Say
This is in addition to the many other songs people have listed. I'm in a bit of a hurry but definately Say Say Say. His voice is incredible on that.
 
Well, I think listening to a lot of his songs acapella really shows his vocal range.

Some of the best I think

Who Is It
The Love You Save
Man in the Mirror
You Are Not Alone
Stranger in Moscow
Earth Song
Will You Be There
Don't Stop Til You Get Enough (how does he get his voice that high?)
Got to be There
 
great vocals in these songs.

PYT
Human nature
She is out of my life,
Will you be there
Stranger in Moscow,
Blood on the dance floor
Happy
Smile
Ben
I will be there(obvious reasons)
Who is it
Earth song

Just some..he was unique. You cant copy him..hee hee hee!
 
Anything before his teens, i've said it before and i'll say it a thousand time. At 9 years old michael was the best vocalist in the world.

Will you be there is easily his best adult performance.
 
His voice in "Who Is It" is super powerful, especially if you listen to it acappella.
Also the second half of "Earth Song".

One of my favorites is "Got to Be There", though. The day he died, my boyfriend and I were on a road trip close to Mexico, listening to all of the Mexican radio stations playing MJ marathons, and it didn't really hit me that he was really dead until they played "Got to Be There". I got chills, and we both got a little misty-eyed.

Also love "Come Together".
 
Its impossible for me to choose so I'm just gonna name one

Earth Song
