Have Your Say In Deciding Michael Jackson’s Greatest Song!

On Friday, we shared our list of The 40 Greatest Michael Jackson Songs, but now it’s your turn to have your say. So as we gear up to this evening’s world broadcast premiere of This Is It, the 2009 documentary that followed Michael Jackson while he rehearsed for the “This Is It” tour, make sure you get involved. Vote right here, leave your comments, and get your Twitter fingers thumping (use #MJThisIsIt and be sure to include @VH1 in your tweets) to make your opinion heard.

So, what’s your favorite? Is it a Jackson 5 classic like “ABC”? Or something for MJ’s early solo career, like “Thriller”? Are you more of a contemporary fan for songs like “You Rock My World”? Or do you just love it all and can’t make up your mind so you wish you could vote for everything? It doesn’t matter what your opinion is, if you’re black or white or whether or not you can do the moonwalk — we want to hear from YOU!

Don’t forget, the world broadcast premiere of This Is It is happening TONIGHT at 9 p.m. ET, only on VH1!

Michael Jackson’s 40 Greatest Songs

The world broadcast premiere of This Is It, the 2009 documentary film that followed Michael Jackson during his rehearsals for what would have been one of the most spectacular tours in music history, will take place on VH1 this Monday, November 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Sadly, we lost MJ before he had a chance to go on the road with this elaborate stage show, but thankfully, his musical legacy will always live on.

To that end, we’ve teamed up with our friends who produce The Greatest to put together this official VH1 list of The 40 Greatest Michael Jackson Songs. It covers the entire range of his career, from his early beginnings as the pint-sized lead singer of the The Jackson 5 through his reign as the King Of Pop. You can take it all in, listen to The 40 Greatest Michael Jackson songs on Spotify, and be sure to let us know in the comments what you think of our rankings; you can also debate this on Twitter by using the hashtag #MJThisIsIt and hitting us @VH1.
