"Baby Be Mine."

"Baby Be Mine". That synth line in the chorus alone is trancendental, but it's one of my favorites on the album.

"The Lady in My Life". Total quiet storm bliss.

"Baby Be Mine" is perfect uptempo Temperton/Jones.

"Baby Be Mine" would have worked beautifully on the s/t Donna Summer album released earlier that year.

It sort of did, as "Mystery of Love."

lady in my life

weren't they both b-sides? so really you could've owned all of thriller just from purchasing singles...

"Baby Be Mine" is one of my favourite "Thriller" tracks and surely should have been a single. So that one, even if "The Lady In My Life" is a fine ballad.

weren't they both b-sides?

B-sides of "Bad" singles, as far as I remember. Most "Thriller" b-sides were "Off The Wall" non-singles.

"The Lady In My Life" by a ways; its chords belie its promises, especially in the chorus, & it ends the album on such unresolved notes, which after "Human Nature" is how it ought to be.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Lady in My Life is great, a fantastic and unique ballad, but I still hafta vote Baby Be Mine.

He has lots of songs similar to "Baby Be Mine" that are better than it, not so with "The Lady in My Life". A vote for the former just feels like a vote for "generic Michael Jackson song".

― mod future admin gang ban them all (The Reverend), Friday, 1 October 2010 23:24 (fifteen years ago)

which is a great song!
