You Are Not Alone. Perfect pop song. Deserves it's place in history as the first song to go straight to the top of the top 100 in the States. Was huge here, and MJ sings and sounds great. Album version only. I hate any other edit of this song. The adlibs are necessessary.
I do love Cry though, and I have a soft spot for One More Chance.

Cry for me. One of my faves on Invincible.
I also like OMC. YANA wasn't really my thing, it was a bit generic and girly for me, although his vocal performance is outstanding on it and I'm glad it was a big hit for him at the time.

Cry.
I know the R Kelly songs aren't very popular songs within the fanbase, but I enjoyed all three songs they did together.

As opposed to the macho alpha male spirit of "if we all cry at the same time tonight"??

Big love ballads never really do it for me.

Collectively his worst 3 singles
Not that they're terrible, but seriously look at the singles from every album then listen to these.
@innuendo141 is right that MJ sings the hell out of YANA and the adlibs are amazing though.
It irks me that the last living single was One More Chance and is on Number Ones. What a mediocre end to a stunning collection of songs.

Cry, YANA and OMC >>> PYT, TGIM, Girlfriend, IJCSLY, Gone Too Soon

YANA is one of his best ever singles. It was a worldwide smash for a reason, as opposed to tuneless drivel like "Jam" which nobody except the hardcore fans remembers. I like all the R Kelly tracks too, but YANA is by far the best imho.

Cry, YANA and OMC >>> PYT, TGIM, Girlfriend, IJCSLY, Gone Too Soon I'll give you Girlfriend (but don't think that was a single in the UK). The others I love.
And to prove mjjfan810 wrong, the others like IJCSLY, TGIM, PYT are all full of melody. I just find the R Kelly ones middle of the road. Admittedly I'm too harsh on YANA, but the other 2 are way below par to be a Michael Jackson song.
As an aside, I think YANA is the only MJ song ever to be number one twice, once by him & once by the X Factor contestants.

Cry is also my favourite. Thanks for voting. I liked yana when it came out but also thought it was too simple.

Would also add the lyrics to YANA are very banal. It's the kind of lyrics I would have written in my teens using a rhyming dictionary. Apart from 'Your burdens I will bear', I like that one. Plus I love recreating Michael's face and hand movement when he sings that.

And thatโs why I looked up to him in my teens when writing songs, thought I had to always rhyme to be as good as him lol but now I blame r kelly for the simpleton lyrics

YANA is definitely the best of the lot. Cry is just a watered down version of I Wish from TP-2.com (oh, the days when artists named albums after websites).
