The Greatest Song EVER!!!

What a touchy subject my friends, what is the greatest song ever made? We all have our own opinions as to what we would consider to be the best and we all have a different song, but you know what there’s a certain set of tunes that if you were to ask a group of people as being universally known for being great then we’d have the starting of a segment I stole from another website that I’ll say I don’t remember the name of.

So here I present to thee an ongoing segment that I’m calling, “The Greatest Song Ever…” and the premise is simple I write about the most universally or at least what I see as being the most universally accepted tunes that one would consider the best, and it’s as simple as that people.

So this being a new segment let's start this bastard out with the biggest fish in the sea....

Billie Jean-Michael Jackson

He’s known far and wide as the king of pop for a reason people. It wasn’t that he could dance, it wasn’t that he could entertain, and it wasn’t even that he made thriller it was the songs he did that made Mr. Jackson the most successful artist in the world people and if there was a song that I would have to say was his crown masterpiece it would be this one.

“Billie Jean is Not my Lover, She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one, but the kid is not my son,” what a morbid line for one of the biggest hits of his massive career, it’s a song about betrayal, it’s dark, moody, and unlike anything you could possibly expect from the same man who was partly responsible for songs like Don’t Stop till you get enough, Ben, ABC, and I’ll be there it’s really an example of what happens when an artist tries to step out of their boundaries and perform a song that is completely out of character and it’s an example of that artist completely taking over and showcasing that they’re here and they’ve accomplished just what they set out to do showcase that they are in fact someone to pay attention to.

Really, from its steady synth intro you know you’re in for something different and whenever you hear Michael deliver that opening line there’s a sense of maturity in his delivery that no other song he was able to do afterwards could exactly showcase. Its’ a straightforward number there’s no theatrics to it, it’s video is as simple as he could make it, and the songs a masterpiece and really the best thing Jackson ever did in his mighty career and the only shame is that there doesn’t exist a recording of him singing it with nothing more than an acoustic guitar backing him up because I’d kill to just get one listen to a pure vocal track just to hear the intensity that this man had in his voice on this masterpiece of pop music.
