I have heard the album version. Like I said, I don't detest it anymore but it's not my fave.

Dude, you're at #18, and #14 is next! Pity the poor schmoe in the 40s. Maybe Chap will trade his Bowie spot with you.

crut, as one of the youngest ilxors, if you die of old age, all your potential voters will have already shuffled off this mortal coil.

Didn't vote for 'ABC' - I always see it as 'I Want You Back II', only inferior in every way.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 23 February 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago) link
Stranger in Moscow is an okay song (I probably haven't even thought about it since the 90s). How the hell did it end up so high?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 February 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
because it's a great song
― Whiney vs. (BradNelson), Thursday, 23 February 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
There's nothing obviously "Michael Jackson" about it, though. meh.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 February 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link
I had never even heard "Stranger In Moscow" until MJ died

This feels like the first real challop in this poll (or maybe I'm the one being challopy).
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 February 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
nah, "Stranger in Moscow" is terrific, made my ballot
― Euler, Thursday, 23 February 2012 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
It's kind of boring
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 23 February 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
eh, dude, the rhythm of the song is pretty michael jackson, and the way the rest of the song seems to phase in out of nowhere? way exquisite

I only learned to love "The Pleasure Principle" in the last five years, particularly the remix.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 23 February 2012 22:34 (twelve years ago) link
"pleasure principle" is my favorite janet song that is not "if"

Hold on, 'Smooth Criminal' way down here?! Only eight votes out of 27?!
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 23 February 2012 23:21 (twelve years ago) link
these polls always throw up at least one incredible song that i'm amazed i've never heard; 'centipede' was it this time.

My reaction to this pair:
Smooth Criminal TOO LOWCentipede THIS SONG RULES HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT KNOW ABOUT IT
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 February 2012 23:34 (twelve years ago) link
I'd never heard of "Centipede" before people started talking about it on the prepoll thread.
― seandalai, Thursday, 23 February 2012 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
Rebbie Jackson is actually Condoleeza Rice rite

expected more J5, not that my ballot helped with that
― Euler, Friday, 24 February 2012 02:12 (twelve years ago) link
Awesomeness all around yet again today. Really shocked "Smooth Criminal" landed outside the top 10.
I guess this means I can stop holding out hope for the as-awesome-as-"Centipede"-in-my-opinion "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming."
