What's your favorite Michael Jackson song? Bonus points if you share the video.
Hands-down: "Man in the Mirror" which surprisingly (to me) has barely been mentioned in the constant press coverage lately. The message of the song was very powerful, the song very sing-able and memorable, and it had that great mid-song modulation that really got to me.
Is it tacky of me that I can't help but think that this song would be very appropriate to President Obama's call to volunteer service?
Right? Maybe not now... or maybe...?I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
I'm asking him to change his ways,
And no message could have been any clearer:
If you wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself and then make that change...
I was never a big fan, so don't know if there even was a video for "Man in the Mirror". All I could find on YouTube were a couple of low-quality copies of live performances of it with still photos interspersed.
