There’s no doubt that Michael Jackson was the greatest artist of our time. Artists will forever imitate his incredible style, musical genius and dancing prowess. On 29 August, the King of Pop would have been 60. The star died almost a decade ago on 25 June 2009 at the age of 50. In tribute, SHAAZIA EBRAHIM and FATIMA MOOSA put together their favourite Michael Jackson songs.
Happy Birthday, Michael! On this day of the Diamond Celebration we hope all fans around the world will join in celebrating the immortal Michael Jackson and his legacy of astounding artistic achievement and his philanthropic and humanitarianism efforts wherever he went. pic.twitter.com/IRTsipxAY0

They Don’t Really Care About Us
Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don’t you black or white me
All I wanna say is that
They don’t really care about us
Thriller
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain’t no second chance against the thing with the forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You Are Not Alone
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you’re far away
I am here to stay
Beat It
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
You Rock My World
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
The rarest love who’d think I’d find
Someone like you to call mine
Billie Jean
People always told me to be careful of what you do
And don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
Man in the Mirror
I’ve been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It’s time that I realise
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they’re not alone?
Smooth Criminal
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday – what a black day
Mouth to mouth
Resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats – intimidation
Black or White
Don’t tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But, if you’re thinkin’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
Liberian Girl
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world
Just like in the movies
With two lovers in a scene
