Song of the Album
Remember The Time - Some of Michael's songs only sound amazing when he sings them or with the whole production. I think this is one of the songs I also love if someone else sings it. It's just an awesome song. The production is perfect and so are his vocals.

Single of the Album
Black Or White - not the best song of the album but the perfect choice for the lead single with it's driving guitar riff and a strong message.

Best Vocal Performance
Will You Be There - listen to the acapella. It's amazing!

Best Lyrics
Will You Be There - Such a meaningful song

Production of the Album
Jam

Best Guest Appearance
Andraé Crouch choir on Will You Be There.

Best Rap Performance
Heavy D on Jam - Always have to rap with Heavy D when I listen to the song. On SDMW for example I just listen to the rap but it doesn't catch me like the one on Jam. The Black Or White rap is more a spoken part in my opinion than a rap, but still very enjoyable.

Best Album Outtake
Monkey Business

Best Place in the Tracklist
Jam - Best song to begin an album with. The breaking glass in the beginning makes a perfect sound to start Dangerous and his new NJS sound.

Best Short Film
Black Or White - The innovative technique and all those different cultures. One of his best short films overall

Most Contemporary Sound
Remember The Time - Couldn't really decide here... all sound kind of dated but in a great way! So sad that nothing today sounds like the songs of Dangerous

You should do this as a poll somehow so we can compare results from all the fans :)! It would be pretty cool.

Song Of The Album
Black or White- Catchy, amazing vocal performance and a great message.

Single Of The Album
Black or White

Best Vocal Performance
Gone Too Soon- I love the emotion in Michael's voice. For me GTS is Michael's best vocal performance. Such an underrated gem.

Best Lyrics
But they told me A man should be faithful And walk when not able And fight till the end But I'm only human. Society expects a man to be strong and emotionless but Michael here is reminding everyone that men are also humans with emotions.

Production Of The Album
Jam

Best Guest Appearance
Rap part in Jam.

Best Rap Performance
Heavy D, Jam

Best Album Outtake
She Got It- So funky and sexy.

Best Place In The Tracklist
Jam as the opener. Perfect intro with glass smashing

Best Short Film

Black Or White especially the Black Panther part.

Most Contemporary Sound
Not sure. Remember The Time maybe.
 
Song Of The Album
Who is it? - The vocal power, crescendo and the tension

Single Of The Album
Who is it? - And a shame given it was not a big hit by the standards of the other singles

Best Vocal Performance
Will you be there - His gravitas and emotion in his voice, so sincere and pleading

Best Lyrics
Will you be there, where he is pleading for understanding and tolerance, again very heart felt

Production Of The Album
Dangerous - very clean and funky beats, seamless programming

Best Guest Appearance
Slash's guitar playing - so much volume and diversity

Best Rap Performance
Heavy D in Jam - just better than the stuff in Black or White, although Michael's voice is coming close to rap in "Can't let her get away"

Best Album Outtake

Do you know where your children are - on Xscape, apparently it was originally cut in 1989/1990 near the time of Dangerous

Best Place In The Tracklist
Dangerous - it is a funky way to end a near perfect album and albums always need an upbeat closer, something that ties the whole project together.


Best Short Film

Black or White Long Version - the dancing and effects with morphing is great, plus with Michael smashing a car and turning into a panther - just wow!

Most Contemporary Sound
In the Closet, smooth and sexy, a cute R&B sex ballad that could be home on any album since then.
