For you Man In "the Mirror" fans out there, I think you will enjoy this powerful performance of it from the Grammy Awards. It is part of a medly of a couple songs. And just for the record, in an interview Michael's mom Katherine said it was her favorite song of his.

My favorite Jackson 5 song. It overwhelms me that such a small boy had such a powerful voice.

My runners up are these two for the song content and the videos themselves.


Michael Jackson - Jam - YouTube



This video was filmed in all four corners of the world and not in a studio or stage. The last part really kicks it when he seems to be screaming at God. I'd post that last part of the lyrics, but it would probably violate copyright, but they are definitely worth looking up, here's the link.

Since MJ died a lot of crappy montage videos surfaced on youtube and then I saw these. This guy did a fanstastic job. Unfortunately the 4th one in the series which would make you cry got pulled because of one of the songs in it.

The first one starts with a verbal introduction from one of his award speeches.

I love how everyone has different favourites, it just shows how amazing his catalog is

I love watching this clip of MJ's Motown audition. Already a little genius at 9 years old:



I wish people weren't so quick to judge him because he was "different". If you take the time to learn about him and what he was really like, you'll understand what a wonderful and misunderstood person he was. Nearly all of MJ's songs are (semi-) autobiographical so just listening to his music offers a glimpse into his soul.

I personally love these songs a lot:
