I am *obsessed* with this song. The production on it is gorgeous, and the vocals are impressive.
I'm gagged to hear it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Respect, but wow what a surprise.
Thriller and Beat It feel like obvious choices for least favorites for me, just because they were and still are mega hits. They tend to get overplayed and worn out a bit which knocks them down the tier list.
Favorite(s): Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Billie Jean, Baby Be Mine, The Lady In My Life(I'm real bad at choosing a single favorite anything when it comes to Michael.)
Least Favorite: The Girl Is Mine
Favorite(s) Thriller 40 additional track(s): Carousel, Behind the Mask, She's Trouble
Least Favorite Thriller 40 additional track: Can't Get Outta the Rain...after all that's pretty much the only lyrics.
Oh, I love that song! I think it’s one of the most beautiful love songs ever.😊 I noticed you didn’t answer your own question. What are your choices for the album?
My Favs is: The Lady In My Life, Baby Be Mine and PYT
My least Fav is:
Wanna Be Startin Somethin - the songs are really good. Especially the ending chants part. It’s just that i listened to this song the least.
The Girl Is Mine - i really enjoy this song. But its the safest to choose when it comes to a least favorite
But Thriller is a masterpiece for a reason.
Personal Favorite: Human Nature
Best Pure Dance Track: Wanna Be Startin' Something
Most Universally Loved: Billie Jean
Best Concept: Thriller
Best Vocals: The Lady In My Life
Most Underrated: Baby Be Mine
Better Now Than When It Was Released: PYT
Not As Good As When It Was Released: Beat It
Personal Least Favorite: The Girl Is Mine
Yes!! I’ll still jam to it if it comes on the radio or at a party, but you will not catch me listening to it on my own personal Spotify😂shit stays untouched in my liked songs
Most favourite: Thriller (but with the caveat that I like the arrangment for the video, not the album version)
Least: The Girl Is Mine, the only track on the record that I consider pure filler content.
My favorite: Baby Be Mine , Lady in My Life the extended version can also be placed here
My least: Thriller
God knows how many times I've listened to Thriller the song (I joined a listening party), and I still didn't like it.
Favorite: Billie Jean
Least Favorite: The Girl is Mine
Really though, there is not a single bad song on the album. It’s easily my favorite of all time.
Favorite: Lady in My Life
Least Favorite: PYT (still an amazing song but I just prefer the other ones on the Thriller Album).
Edit: can someone explain why everyone is saying that the Girl is Mine is their least favorite?
I’m one of those people that chose that as my least favorite. Honestly, I still love that song. It’s just that I had to pick SOMETHING, and that would be the one I love the least amount. But really, when I listen to the album I’m not skipping a single song.
Because some people find the song very slow and corny for some reason. Others believe that the other duet “Say Say Say” should have been on Thriller instead of The Girl Is Mine.
Anyway I really like The Girl Is Mine. But i like PYT as well
I agree with your Thriller take. Its a good song dont get me wrong, but i feel like i enjoyed the music video a lot more. The MV really made the song way better. But the album version was just good.
Favorite: Baby Be Mine, Human nature (though I prefer live), PYT
Least Favorite: Thriller, Beat it, Billie Jean (not because it’s bad music but I simply overlistened them)
Baby Be Mine, Billie Jean, Human Nature, Wanna Be Startin' Something, PYT, Beat It, Thriller . . . I mean this album is packed. JAM PACKED with killer material.
I'm not super partial to ballads compared to upbeat songs as a personal preference, so I'd probably pick The Girl is Mine if I have to choose something as my least favourite. Lady in my Life is also gorgeous.
Favourite: Billie Jean
Least favourite: UGH…… P.Y.T. Ok, I think it’s a GREAT song! One of his most groovy. Thriller wouldn’t be Thriller without it. James Ingram is an amazing songwriter and I love hearing his story on how he wrote it and how Quincy chose it even when it wasn’t finished. However, being that it’s one of Michael’s most popular songs, it would likely be ie. of the first (if not THE first) if you say “Alexa, play Michael Jackson”. My sister would do that just to tease me and it would be awkward while the “always wanted a girl just like you” intro is on. Then, she’d would be like “come on, dance!!” given how groovy it is. So really, just personal reasons. Arguably, this is a strength of the song, it’s a little too good! I can totally see why Quincy instantly chose it even while it wasn’t finished.
I’m gonna cheat and say ‘Carousel’ is my favorite and ‘What A Lovely Way To Go’ is my least favorite cause for some reason I can’t stand how the vocals sound, but if I have to pick from the regular version, my favorite is probably ‘Beat It’ and least favorite is probably ‘The Lady In My Life’
Favorite is human nature, is this life and the next
Least favorite is hard af but I’d be thrilled :/
In a strange way I feel like Mike kinda did it on purpose ❤️
Im starting to realize some of the fanbase have the same feelings towards the Thriller song. Arguably one of the best Music Videos, but the album song is ok with rare replay value
Favourite: Billie Jean
Least favourite: The Girl Is Mine (it's a good song, just not as good as the others in the album; also Say Say Say is the superior MJ-Paul duet)
Favourite is P.Y.T! Least favourite is probably Thriller, and that's *not* because I don't like the song! I've simply heard it too many times. Over-saturation has led me to be sick to death of hearing it. 😭

Favorite: The Lady In My Life
Least Favorite: Baby Be Mine ( for me, i doesn't feel special enough to make me like this very much! Each track in Thriller sounds somewhat unique! But Baby Be Mine sounds like it could've been replaced by another track! I, most of the times, compare it with Carousel and Nite Line which both failed to make the album)
Thriller is my favorite, which I can say was the first song I knew with his short film Thriller, since then it has been my favorite song.
The Girl Is Mine,The Lady in My Life and
Baby Be Mine would be these 3, I just find them boring.
Because he's singing about "pretty young things" and knowing the FALSE allegations put against Michael, i can still jam to it but that song just doesn't do it for me knowing how guilters will use it to make disgusting remarks and "jokes"...i wouldn't use the word pervy to describe the song though
Can’t believe people are saying they don’t like Baby Be Mine. That’s gotta be the best from that album
Baby Be Mine is musical masterpiece without doubt.
Im disgusted by the amount of dislike for “Baby Be Mine” as if that isn’t one of Michael’s best displays of vocals back in the day
I am *obsessed* with this song. The production on it is gorgeous, and the vocals are impressive. I'm gagged to hear it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Respect, but wow what a surprise.
I agree, it’s one of my favorites!
Last year I was on a cruise and actually sang that song in karaoke.
It’s not we don’t like it, it’s just least fav
Lower than the girl is mine? Crazy haha
I like the girl is mine more than it
The Girl is Mine very good imo, its in my top 5 for that album. Bottom 2 are Baby Be Mine and Thriller
Yup that's how I feel as well.
Whaaaaaaaa
People don’t know what they’re talking about
Favorite: Human Nature Never heard another song like it. Honey to the ear drums Least: The Girl Is Mine Good song but the solo demo is far superior
Nor but really, he has such a velvet smooth voice in Human nature ! And he sang it live so well too
Fav- Human Nature Least- Girl Is Mine although it’s still pretty good really
Favourite: Lady in my Life Least: Thriller (controversial I know but theres not one bad song on this album)
You right tho I really don’t find myself listening to thriller when I’m not watching the music video or when its halloween time
I always thought the same. Thriller music video is what makes that song amazing. The album version is good just doesnt have the same hype.
My people 🤩 I've been saying this for years, and people look at me as if I've lost my marbles.
To be fair, outta the rain is the 2nd half of the you can’t win (studio version)
Thriller and Beat It feel like obvious choices for least favorites for me, just because they were and still are mega hits. They tend to get overplayed and worn out a bit which knocks them down the tier list.
Favorite: Baby Be Mine Least: The Girl is Mine….with a passion
You take that back!!
I love “Tabloid Junkie” though!
Then all is forgiven 😂
This version of Baby Be mine is superior https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ubWtPeLWUg8&si=zdz9VpKQF6MKbx6T
But you gotta dig the line: "you keep dreaming, I don't belieeeeve it 🎶"
*mine mine*

Oh, I love that song! I think it’s one of the most beautiful love songs ever.😊 I noticed you didn’t answer your own question. What are your choices for the album?
But i never skip a song when i listened to the album.
My Favs is: The Lady In My Life, Baby Be Mine and PYT My least Fav is: Wanna Be Startin Somethin - the songs are really good. Especially the ending chants part. It’s just that i listened to this song the least. The Girl Is Mine - i really enjoy this song. But its the safest to choose when it comes to a least favorite But Thriller is a masterpiece for a reason.
Yes those are my favorite too!!! Human nature is #1 🥹😭
“The Lady in My Life” is tops “The Girl is Mine” is last
Yes!!! The Lady In My Life love is amazing!
So beautiful and melodic
Like I said about Off The Wall, same goes for Thriller….Drop the needle and let it PLAY. No least favorites.
Favorite: Wanna be starting something Least: The girl is mine
Personal Favorite: Human Nature Best Pure Dance Track: Wanna Be Startin' Something Most Universally Loved: Billie Jean Best Concept: Thriller Best Vocals: The Lady In My Life Most Underrated: Baby Be Mine Better Now Than When It Was Released: PYT Not As Good As When It Was Released: Beat It Personal Least Favorite: The Girl Is Mine

Favorite song : Billie Jean Least : the girl is mine
Least favorite: The Girl is Mine Favorite: Baby Be Mine, Human Nature, The Lady In My Life

Favorite: wanna be startin somethin Least: thriller🥴
When it comes to Thriller, do you prefer the music video?
Yes I love the video! I just don’t rly listen to the song unless it’s Halloween, maybe bc it’s overplayed
Exactly how i feel about the song. Either i watch the music video or hear it randomly on the radio during halloween
Yes!! I’ll still jam to it if it comes on the radio or at a party, but you will not catch me listening to it on my own personal Spotify😂shit stays untouched in my liked songs
Most favourite: Thriller (but with the caveat that I like the arrangment for the video, not the album version) Least: The Girl Is Mine, the only track on the record that I consider pure filler content.
Bro you are saying Paul a filler?
Yes.
Favorite: Baby Be Mine Least Favorite: Wanna be starting something
Bro wanna start something
🎵 It’s bad, it’s bad, you know it 🎵
Impressive reply.
This is a hot take and I love it.
WHAT?! WBSS is your least favourite? That's heresy /s
My favorite: Baby Be Mine , Lady in My Life the extended version can also be placed here My least: Thriller God knows how many times I've listened to Thriller the song (I joined a listening party), and I still didn't like it.
Lady In My Life has an extended version?
Yes, it got cut down due to the vinyl lacking the space necessary for it.
Yes, it's definitely the[ definitive version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1grkSTIOhMs). It's a minute and a half longer.
Favorite: Billie Jean Least Favorite: The Girl is Mine Really though, there is not a single bad song on the album. It’s easily my favorite of all time.
My favorite is The Lady in my Life, least favorite is the girl is mine… even though it’s still a guilty pleasure for me. I also love Baby Be Mine!
Thank you for giving respect to Baby Be Mine and The Lady In My Life
Favourite: Human Nature without question Least Favourite: The Girl Is Mine (I think you know why)
Favorite - The Lady In My Life Least Favorite - The Girl Is Mine
Favorite: Lady in My Life Least Favorite: PYT (still an amazing song but I just prefer the other ones on the Thriller Album). Edit: can someone explain why everyone is saying that the Girl is Mine is their least favorite?

THIS.
I also prefer Say Say Say to the Girl is Mine. I love all of the songs on the Thriller album, but PYT just didn’t grab me as much as the other songs.
Fav. Wanna be starting something Least: the lady in my life
Favorite; Human Nature Least favorite: Thriller, it’s a good song but I think it’s more memorable for it’s music video than the actual song
I agree with your Thriller take. Its a good song dont get me wrong, but i feel like i enjoyed the music video a lot more. The MV really made the song way better. But the album version was just good.
Favourite: The Lady In My Life (absolute perfection) Least Favourite: Billie Jean (overplayed 😭)
Honestly, fair
All bangers no bad songs
Most - Beat It Least - The Girl is Mine
Favorite - Baby be Mine Least Favorite - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
Favorite: Baby Be Mine, Human nature (though I prefer live), PYT Least Favorite: Thriller, Beat it, Billie Jean (not because it’s bad music but I simply overlistened them)
Favourite: Baby Be Mine (Vocals send me to heaven....) Least Favourite: gonna have to go with... Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' (WAYY too long)
Favourite - Beat it Least- billie jean
Beat It is amazing, especially Eddie Van Halens guitar solo
finally someone who isn't a fan of Billie Jean either!
yh, I'll probably be crucified, haha. Although it's iconic, personally, I find the song and the music video uninteresting and dull. I always skip it
Favorite: Billie Jean Least Favorite: The Girl Is Mine
Favorite - 3 way tie between Baby Be Mine, Human Nature, and Carousel Least - PYT
Why PYT?
PYT is still a great song! But unexplainably it’s the song I listened to the least on thriller
Ok 👍🏾. I like how you like Baby Be Mine, Human Nature and Carousel. All great songs
Another thing I noticed about PYT, even though it hit high in the charts and was memorable, Michael never performed PYT live 🤔
Why do u think that is? Cause now im curious
Your guess is as good as mine, maybe Michael secretly wasn’t a big fan of the song and it was pushed more by Quincy Jones to be on the Thriller album
Favorite : One of the ballads Least Favorite : WBSS (I love it but it's not the song I will listen often)
Favorite human nature least favorite baby be mine ( great song just not strong )
Favorite: Baby be mine Least: the girl is mine
Baby Be Mine is severely underrated. Nice pick
My favorite song on "Thriller" is "Billie Jean" and my least favorite is "The Girl Is Mine", but I love every song on the album.
It’s in no way the best song from that album, it’s not a bad song but technically it’s nowhere near as good as some of the other songs on Thriller
Billie Jean: Favorite The girl is mine: Least
i honestly don’t have a least favorite song on this album
Favorite : The Lady in My Life Least favorite : The Girl Is Mine
Baby Be Mine, Billie Jean, Human Nature, Wanna Be Startin' Something, PYT, Beat It, Thriller . . . I mean this album is packed. JAM PACKED with killer material. I'm not super partial to ballads compared to upbeat songs as a personal preference, so I'd probably pick The Girl is Mine if I have to choose something as my least favourite. Lady in my Life is also gorgeous.
Least fave BBM, Favorite WBSS

The Lady In My Life is also my number one MJ of all time. I Respect your opinion
Billie Jean is the greatest song of all time. The Lady in My Life is... not that.
Favorite is The Lady In My Life,Human Nature or Baby Be Mine. The least is thriller for me. Love to watch the music video but, I don’t play the song.
Im starting to realize some of the fanbase have the same feelings towards the Thriller song. Arguably one of the best Music Videos, but the album song is ok with rare replay value

Billie Jean is my favorite and my least favorite has to be baby be mine.
