If you had the money and MJ would accept offers for private gigs and for you to make the setlist, what would you chose??

Keep in mind, he will have a band, but only 2 backup singers and 2 dancers. He would perform for about 1 hour (which is around 10 to 12 songs max).
I dunno why I made these restrictions, but I think it will make things more interesting!

When I say private concert, I mean the size of a small nightclub or bar. He can move around the stage, but it's still extremely intimate. Medleys are allowed, but only 3 songs per medley (if you want a lot of medleys).

Mine:

1.Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
2.Another Part Of Me
3.Remember The Time
4.Human Nature
5.Heartbreak Hotel
6.You Are Not Alone
7.Rock With You
8.Who Is It
9.Dirty Diana
10.Billie Jean
11.Shake Your Body
12.Man In The Mirror

Keeping the 10 to 12 song limit is extremely frustrating! So many choices.

Wow, hmm....well, my choices would not make for probably a strong nor popular concert set, but you did say a private concert that da man has agreed to...so, maybe he'd go for it (I can dream, lol). You're selection, AtlasAir, is very strong, by the way, nice job).

Slave to the Rhythm
Behind the Mask
Working Day and Night
Lovely One
Medley One: P.Y.T., Baby Be Mine, Another Part of Me
Remember the Time
Whatever Happens
Can't Let Her Get Away
Who Is It
Medley Two: One Day in Your Life, Smile
Be Not Always
What More Can I Give

I like the intimate setting you've described. Fun evening it twould be. Would it be the price of just the two drink minimum? I wonder how it would work...*ponders* :)
 
Whoa, you digged deep into his catalog!
There are so many songs I would want him to do live, but imposing imaginary restrictions kinda helped in consolidating stuff.
 
This is going to be difficult. There are so many great songs to pick. :)

1.Wanna Be Startin Somethin
2.Heartbreak Hotel
3.Another Part Of Me
5.Human Nature
4.Smooth Criminal

6.Rock With You

I would like to hear some love songs or ballads or something new and unreleased or would leave him make his own choice of songs that would fit the small audience. Anyway This is it, speechless, gone too soon would be wellcomed. If the songs were too rocky and loud I would get deaf in a small concert room and wouldn't want all the songs be like that. Not to mention that he would end up dancing on a table if there was not enough space on the stage there or there was no real stage there.

5. Billy Jean
