Who Is It - Fantastic song with so many catchy parts throughout it. I like his vocal performance and really enjoy the chorus repeated throughout. Feel like this one should've been a little higher.
Give In To Me - So unique for Michael but it works really well. I agree with the above this should've been a single in the US. Feel like it could've been a classic for him.
In The Closet - Feel like I have similar thoughts for this as I do Who Is It. Both feel super similar to me but I really enjoy this one too. I think what works so well for both are the run times that really let the songs breathe. Chorus here is also insane.
Hoping Remember The Time wins.

It's nice to see "Who Is It" and "Give in To Me" crack the top 5.
Def hoping for "Remember the Time" to win. I find the production of "Black or White" to be pretty monotonous, as is the chorus since it doesn't feel too different from the verses.

Rooting for RTT to win. B&W is a good song, but I prefer the new jack swing tracks over it except Why You Wanna Trip On Me.

They print my message in the Saturday Sun I had to tell them I ain't second to none2. Black Or WhiteWritten and produced with Bill Bottrell, "Black Or White" was released in November 1991 as the lead single from Dangerous. It was an international smash, topping the charts in twenty countries, including the US. It also peaked at #3 on the R&B chart and #2 on the dance chart. The song features a rap by Bottrell, who wanted to use an actual rapper, but when Michael heard his take he insisted it be used in the final version. Bottrell also plays the main guitar riff which has often been mistakenly attributed to Slash. Slash, however, does play guitar in the skit that precedes the song. The music video was directed by John Landis and features Macaulay Culkin, Tyra Banks, and George Wendt, who was best known for his role as Norm on Cheers. It made its world premiere in November 1991 in 27 countries with and audience of 500 millon viewers. The final four minutes of the video sparked controversy, with MJ grabbing his crotch, smashing windows, and destroying a car. MJ apologized and ordered those scenes be removed from future broadcasts. A digitally-altered version of the final scenes was released in 1993, with racial slurs displayed on store and car windows, giving better reasoning to the destruction of property.

It topped the R&B chart and peaked at #2 on the dance chart and #3 on the Hot 100, and won a Soul Train Award for Best Male R&B/Soul Single. Internationally, it hit #1 in Belgium and New Zealand. The music video, directed by the late John Singleton, made its world premiere in February 1992. It features cameos by Eddie Murphy, Iman, Magic Johnson, and Tommy "Tiny" Lister.

Wooo!! Perfect top 2!
There's something so smooth and seductive about "Remember The Time" that I love it just a bit more the B or W.

5. Who Is It (12): Ooh okay, I'm glad this was the song to show up first of this Top 5 as this is my lowest ranking song. This is a cool and fun sounding song. I'm not really sure why it ranked so low but I guess because I'm not super familiar with it and it didn't stand out amongst the other songs.
4. Give In To Me (11): Wow interesting how this song is the song with the highest SD. I guess it makes sense for this to be so polarizing and I can get it. But I'm also happy with this showing up as this wasn't in my Top 3. It's a strong and solid rock song from Michael but it's never been one of my favorites from him.
3. In The Closet (3): Yayy I got a perfect rank with this song at #3. Interesting how this song was intended to be a duet between Michael and Madonna. I wonder how that would have sounded and went. This is a really cool song. I enjoy the vibe and sound of it.
Perfect Top 2 as it's my #1 vs. #2!
2. Black Or White (1): Dang, I was hoping for this to pull off the win but with seeing so many posts rooting for RTT, I had a feeling that that was going to win it and not BOW. A bummer but oh well. 5 #1s is really good here. This song is so fun, iconic and memorable. Love the iconic music video too. It's such a fun and feel good song. Wow love seeing most of the rankings for this song being Top 4 spots with just a few spots in the bottom half of the Top 10 and nothing below #10.
1. Remember The Time (2): If "Black or White" couldn't pull off the win then I'm glad that this song was able to do so as this was my #2. This is another great, fun and classic jam from Michael. Love the vibe/feel of the song and everything about it. The music video is great and so fun! Wow 10 #1s and 7 #2s is very impressive. And also not surprised seeing this with the lowest SD either.
Thank you for hosting yet another great rankdown, Soulsista!

These results have gone well for me. I have thoughts on my top 3 songs.
Happy to see Remember The Time finish on top. While I don't find it as impressive as the some of the best songs on MJ's previous albums (eg Smooth Criminal), it has a pleasant melodic production, memorable chorus, and feels right being 4 minutes long.
Give In to Me was a pleasant surprise to me since I have overlooked this song. Even if it lacks the NJS style, I do think it belongs on the album and now I prefer it over MJ's other hit rock songs.
Black Or White is a song I remember from my childhood since I played songs on my dad's computer and I remember the opening skit. This song has a fun beat, memorable guitar riff, and one of my favorite messages about racial harmony that I wish more people would follow today.
