It’s hard to pick a favorite because he was so versatile. I love “The Way You Make Me Feel”, Earth Song, and Man In the Mirror. But there are so many more that I love, such as Can’t Get Enough. He was and will always be the greatest. I heard someone singing a song on WBLS today - it was beautiful. It was a song I had not heard. Guess who it was, Michael. He is and always will be the best. King of Pop, and my man.

Ghosts is the best music video ever. It’s very sad the people who put this poll together didn’t think of it.

My favorite would have to be dirty Diana. It really made me look at MJ in a different light. I have that video on repeat for hours,, literally. And I also really love Give Into Me. OMG!!!!! His passion is palpable. And Another Part of Me. He sounds and looks amazing. See how hard it is to just choose one. I will love you forever and a day, Michael!!!!!!!!!!

It is so hard to vote for just one M.J.J. video. I love them all and of few are my favorites but if I had to choose one of my favorites, I guess it would be”Ghosts”.
