after Michael died i started hearing "This Place Hotel" a lot but never "Can You Feel It," weird

so Together Again didn't make it and If is the highest placing Janet song, right?
― gospodin simmel, Friday, 24 February 2012 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
RIP "Runaway", you continue to be underrated ;_;
― robbery by sudden snatching (DJP), Friday, 24 February 2012 14:47 (twelve years ago) link
Watch out for 'Janet in Super Bowl Boob Mishap' straight in at #3.
CYFI is dope and as a Europeaner it does seem odd people would know it. Seems like such a ubiquitus (sp?) song. Also I now need to go find a dictionary after finding out I'm not sure how to spell ubiquitus (sp?).
― a hoy hoy, Friday, 24 February 2012 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
Also Tuomas the happy-sounding thing discouraging votes in this poll is crazy considering how many of these songs are just downright =) type jams.
― a hoy hoy, Friday, 24 February 2012 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
would NOT know it, xpost to myself.
"ubiquitous"
― Tuomas, Friday, 24 February 2012 14:52 (twelve years ago) link
Took me a few tries before I learned to spell that one right.

Yeah, despite chart rankings, obv CYFI's stock in the Jackson canon has risen considerably.
Because it's killer, mostly.
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 24 February 2012 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
i'm listening to it right now and...eh. might be more into it w/o the backing vocals singing the title over and over.

pleased with this placement for "beat it," whatever to the placement for "if"
― horseshoe, Friday, 24 February 2012 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
lol remember when someone predicted "beat it" would miss the top 50
― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 19:05 (twelve years ago) link
wow @ 50+ point differential between #8 and #7
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 24 February 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
"If" is just the motherfucking greatest. My #1.
― prolego, Friday, 24 February 2012 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
michael looks so sad when he sings "no one wants to be defeated" sitting on his bed in the beginning
― horseshoe, Friday, 24 February 2012 19:11 (twelve years ago) link
i am obsessed with the "beat it" video
― horseshoe, Friday, 24 February 2012 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
Damn, Janet's highest ranking is #8?!
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 24 February 2012 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
(I was the other 1st place vote for "If," obv.)
not surprised tbh
― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 19:13 (twelve years ago) link
Still, I can only think of one song that's going to place in the top 6 that's going to make me wish it was lower than "If."
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 24 February 2012 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
Beat It was my no.1. Perfect record (like that distinguishes it in this poll).
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 24 February 2012 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
they'll kick you and they beat you and they'll tell you it's fair, btw ;_;
― horseshoe, Friday, 24 February 2012 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
so pissed i have no idea how to search for a gif of the guy who does the crazy head wobble dance move in the "beat it" vid
― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
so many gifs needed from the "beat it" vid

seems ridic to complain about "rock with you" placing too low and yet
― horseshoe, Friday, 24 February 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
there should have been like a 10-way tie for #1
Damn, "Billie Jean" lower than "Human Nature"?
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 24 February 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
Fingers crossed "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" and "Wanna Be Startin' Something" are tied for 1st.
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 24 February 2012 20:13 (twelve years ago) link
not only is "human nature" better than "billie jean," but i believe that's ilm orthodoxy at this point
― horseshoe, Friday, 24 February 2012 20:13 (twelve years ago) link
it wasn't 5 months ago! THRILLER POLL
― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
oh...lurkers.
i think i may have heard "billie jean" too many times at this point.
― horseshoe, Friday, 24 February 2012 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
idg the love for "Wanna Be..." and never have. It's such a minor track in every way.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 24 February 2012 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
pshhhhhh

It's an 800-percale tapestry of hooks.
― dead-trius (Eric H.), Friday, 24 February 2012 20:23 (twelve years ago) link
i voted for "billie jean" and everything, don't get me wrong. didn't vote for "wanna be startin' something" but that's only because the poll was impossible
