This time I mean business, you will have to make soul destroying choices… […]

I actually didn’t find this too hard. With a few exceptions, as noted below.

BILLIE JEAN versus Smooth Criminal

Okay, this one’s actually tough. Both songs are iconic.​

Thriller versus ROCK WITH YOU
The Way You Make Me Feel versus BEAT IT
Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ versus THRILLER
MAN IN THE MIRROR versus Dirty Diana
DON’T STOP ’TIL YOU GET ENOUGH versus Workin’ Day and Night

Another tough pairing. Both songs are fantastic.​

I CAN’T HELP IT versus The Lady in My Life

Dare I say: What a brilliant pairing you’ve made here, @filmandmusic! Tough indeed. Next to impossible to choose. I will let my choice be guided by my dagsform™.​

P.Y.T. versus ANOTHER PART OF ME
Black or White versus BAD
WHO IS IT? versus Human Nature
BAD versus Will You Be There?
SHE’S OUT OF MY LIFE versus I Just Can’t Stop Loving You
Off the Wall versus SPEED DEMON
Dangerous versus GIVE IN TO ME
Ben versus ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE
MUSIC AND ME versus I Wanna Be Where You Are

Tough again.​

WE’RE ALMOST THERE versus Ain’t No Sunshine
In Our Small Way versus WITH A CHILD’S HEART
Got to Be There versus I’LL BE THERE

Both songs are brilliant.​

THE LOVE YOU SAVE versus ABC
Dancing Machine versus I WANT YOU BACK

 

[Agonum]

Edit: Wait, hold up! There are two Nite Lines?!? Oh, the humanity!

She smiled and looked at me! I was surprised to see, that woman like that were into me

This time I mean business, you will have to make soul destroying choices…

Billie Jean vs Smooth Criminal

‘billie jean’

Thriller vs Rock With You

‘thriller’. they’re both classics, but ‘thriller’ is much more imaginative, and set Michael apart from other singers.

The Way You Make Me Feel vs Beat It

‘beat it’

Wanna Be Startin Something vs Thriller

‘wanna be startin’ somethin’. my absolute favourite

Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough vs Working Day And Night

‘don’t stop til you get enough’

I Can’t Help It vs The Lady In My Life

‘I can’t help it’. smooth, dreamy groove

PYT vs Another Part Of Me

‘p.y.t (pretty young thing)’

Who Is It vs Human Nature

‘human nature’. my favourite ballad ever usually not a fan of the genre..

Off The Wall vs Speed Demon

‘off the wall’

Small Motown selection:

Ben vs One Day In Your Life

‘Ben’. both songs are sad and sentimental (with ‘Ben’ being tragic on top of that), but I can’t bear to listen to ‘one day in your life’I’m proud that it was his first uk number one though

Music and Me vs I Wanna Be Where You Are

‘music & me’. michael displays amazing range and control on both songs (‘I wanna be where you are’ edges out ‘music & me’ in that regard). ‘music & me’ seems more personal and appropriate for young michael. I don’t enjoy loud drums, but I love the scene in ‘the jacksons: an american dream’ movie, where ‘I wanna be where you are’ is performed.

We’re Almost There vs Ain’t No Sunshine

‘we’re almost there’. although I’m not a fan of the time period between 73-75, I prefer original songs over covers.

In Our Small Way vs With A Child’s Heart

‘with a child’s heart’. both have great messages which would define who michael was however, ‘in our small way’ is let down by the background singers/arrangements.

Got To Be There vs I’ll Be There

‘got to be there’. a rare moment in time..

The Love You Save vs ABC

‘abc’. one of my favourite j5 songs

Dancing Machine vs I Want You Back

‘I want you back’
