Inilah 16 Lagu Terbaik Michael Jackson
1. “I Want You Back”
Lagu bercorak R&B ini bahkan tampak lebih keren dibawakan 40 tahun setelah pertamakali diluncurkan. Suara Michael saat masih berusia 17 tahun pada lagu ini sungguh ajaib. Inilah lagu yang nyaris mendekati sempurna.
2. “Rock With You”
Inilah lagu yang ikut mengawali kebesaran karier penyanyi pop masa kini Justin Timberlake. Apa yang menakjubkan dari lagu ini adalah nuansanya yang sangat menghanyutkan. Diiringi suara dominan gitar, Michael tampil lembut dan benar-benar menanggalkan keagresifannya.
3. “Billie Jean”
Michael dan produser Quincy Jones memenuhi lagu ini dengan sentuhan ganjil namun mempesona. Billie Jean adalah “masterpiece” dan salah satu yang tidak hilang keunikan dan energi tersembunyinya, tak peduli seberapa kali Anda memutar atau mendengarnya.
4. “Give In to Me”
Michael Jackson kerapkali menciptakan karya terbaiknya saat disergap oleh kegalauan, salah satunya nomor aneh nan sinis mengenai cinta obsesif yang terdapat pada album “Dangerous” ini. Gitaris terkenal grup Guns N Roses, Slash, mengiringi salah satu nomor adi luhung ini.
5. “Thriller”
Lagu ini kerap disebut meletakkan dasar bagi revolusi video musik. Jackson dan Quincy Jones menyelimuti lirik lagu ini dengan latar video bernuansa robotik yang dibuka oleh bayangan iblis di kegelapan, lalu diakhiri oleh gerombolan mayat hidup yang mengelilingi mangsanya.
6. “Human Nature”
Ini adalah salah satu balada terlembut dan memilukan dari Michael. Cara bagaimana vokalnya mengalun mengikuti nada lagu sangat berkelas, rintihan berulang-ulangnya dalam bait “Why? Why?” sangat menyayat hati.
7. “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ “
Refrainnya terdengar seperti konfrontasi, namun di dalamnya terkandung empati asli dirinya,”You’re stuck in the middle, and the pain is thunder.” Lagu ini dipercantik oleh betotan bas dari basis kondang James Lee Jamerson, dan backing vocal bernuansa gerejani.
8. “The Way You Make Me Feel”
Semua bagian dari lagu empat setengah menit berkandungkan kebahagian sejati ini ditempatkan pada komposisi sempurna. Lagu ini menyiratkan ungkapan sepenuh hati Michael tentang cinta kasih.
9. “Smooth Criminal”
Kencang dan mengguncang, Michael mengubah karakter suaranya bagai senapan mesin dan mengurangi lirik dengan tampak bersimpati baik kepada agresor maupun yang diagresi, selain bernuansa horor.
10. “Black or White”
Michael mempunyai tendensi untuk bersikap terang atas hal yang lagi hangat diguncingkan orang, namun “Black or White” dengan cermat menyembunyikan komentar sosialnya dalam kidung cinta berisi pesan, gunakanlah hati untuk memupus sekat rasial.
10. “In the Closet”
Lagu Michael yang tidak masuk hit sama menakjubkannya dengan lagu-lagunya yang menerobos tangga lagu terpopuler. Pada lagu yang digubah tahun 1991 ini, dia seperti membayangkan seluruh musik pop pasca 80an. Suara Michael terdengar gagap sampai memasuki refren untuk kemudian terdengar bersih dan lentur kembali.
12. “Scream”
Di lagu ini Michael berduet dengan sang adik Janet Jackson dalam sebuah video musik paling mahal yang pernah dibuat. Dua Jackson bersaudara ini berhasil mematahkan kritik bahwa lagu pop tak bisa berlatar ganas seperti ada pada musik rock atau metal.
13. “I Can’t Help It”
Michael berduet dengan Stevie Wonder menyanyikan balada yang mengalun di atas dominasi suara organ dan bass. Dia menyisihkan waktu banyak untuk lagu ini sehingga kelezatan musiknya tampak sederhana namun tetap memukau.
14. “Leave Me Alone”
Lagu ini adalah versi gelap dari lagu sebelumnya “The Way You Make Me Feel” dimana di dalamnya ada amarah, juga laku agresif dan frustasinya.
15. “P.Y.T.”
Di nomor bergenre R&B ini, Michael terlihat sungguh terkontrol, meletakkan lengking kuatnya di refrain sehingga membuat semuanya tampak serirama.
16. “Beat It”
Lagu yang amat akrab di telinga ini tak perlu dijelaskan lagi dan yang paling menarik adalah kesederhanaannya yang mengagumkan, berupa suara gitar dan serangan vokal Michael yang lebih dahsyat. Di lagu ini Michael berkolaborasi dengan gitaris Eddie Van Halen dari grup band Van Halen. “Beat It” adalah selebrasi kepercayaan diri yang berasal dari pemahaman bahwa tak perlu apa-apa untuk memberi bukti.

16 Lagu Terbaik Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson - You’re Not Alone
Another day has gone, I’m still all alone
How could this be? You’re not here with me
You never said good-bye, someone tell me why
Did you have to go, and leave my world so cold?
1-Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away?
Something whispers in my ear and says
2-That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you’re far away
I am here to stay
3-You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we’re far apart
You’re always in my heart
You are not alone
All alone, why, oh…
Just the other night, I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come, and hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers, your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand, then forever can begin
(rpt 1, 2, 3)
Oh…whisper three words and I’ll come runnin’
Fly…and girl you know that I’ll be there
I’ll be there
(rpt 2, 3, 2, 3)
Not alone
You are not alone, you are not alone…
You just reach for me baby
In the morning in the evening
You’re not alone, not alone
You and me, not alone, oh, together, together…

Beat It
They told him don’t you ever come around here
Don’t wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire’s in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
They’re out to get you, better leave while you can
Don’t wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you’re really not scared
You’re playin’ with your life, this ain’t no truth or dare
They’ll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they’ll tell you it’s fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or who’s right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or who’s right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
