Sorry this took longer than I expected. I found it so hard to pick just one in most categories

Song of the Album

They Don't Care About Us , controversial, angry and in your face. A new side of Michael we hadn't seen, but still familiar with the thought provoking lyrics


Single of the Album


Earth Song, it stayed number 1 for 6 weeks from December 1995, held The Beatles first single in 25 years off number 1. Plus this was number 1 when I was born

Best Vocal Performance

Earth Song, a brilliant album vocally but this stands head and shoulders above the rest. The power, emotion and control Mike exhibits on this track are second to none, his greatest vocal delivery. His singing was so underrated it's a crime

Best Lyrics

Too tough to pick just one on this album so...
TDCAU "I look to heaven to fulfil it's prophecy, Set me free"
Tabloid Junkie "Slander, With the words you use, You're a parasite in black and white, Do anything for news"
Stranger In Moscow "How does it feel, When you're cold and alone inside"

Production of the Album

Money I wanted to choose a song I hadn't chose before. I love this track in every way but the production is so slick it's hard not to love. It has this level of class to it, I can't explain it. I always picture Michael performing this like he performed Dangerous, with matching suits and chorography. I'm back and I mean business

Best Guest Appearance

Janet, I will forever be grateful for Miss Jackson making this track and short film with Michael, brilliant unity and superb vocals from both

Best Rap Performance

Biggie , no doubt, easily the greatest rap section on any MJ song, the tone and lyrics marry perfectly with the rest of the sing. The King of Pop and King of Flow nail it on This Time Around

Best Album Outtake

In The Back, I pray there is a more complete version somewhere because the one we have is astounding for a demo, the layers and vocal performance are sublime

Best Place in the Tracklist

Stranger In Moscow , perfect placing, the album opens in a blaze of fire, then the rain comes along and washes it away to reveal a superstar wounded seeking escape from his fame.

Best Short Film

Well it's definitely not YANA, despite Lisa Marie's fine behind (Mike was a lucky man :cool: )
Stranger In Moscow, one of the greatest short films for the visual, capturing the feeling of the song. A fantastic short film I adore every frame
