Music What's the Worst Michael Jackson Song Ever?

It's been a dozen days and Michael Jackson is still not in the ground—or really dead, he faked it all and placed the Elephant Man's bones in that solid gold casket—but instead of canonizing him for his great body of work, I can't help but think of all his absolutely terrible songs. There are just so many. Sure we all want to selectively remember "Billie Jean" and "Beat It," but what about all the horrific music Jackson made?

We've spent days—well, hours—suffering through Jackson's deep catalog to assemble this painful list. Take your pick, and comment below if you think we left out anything.

Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy - "What's Up WIth You?"

Michael Jackson - "Childhood Song"

Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney - "The Girl is Mine"

Michael Jackson -"Earth Song"

I'm gonna go with:
Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy - "What's Up WIth You?"
Eddie goes from working hilarious comedy material on Jackson to pandering with this suck ass tune.

You left out "State of Shock" with Mick Jagger. That song is HORRIBLE.

Otherwise I'll go with his Eddie Murphy duet too.

I'm having difficulties suspending disbelief that Murphy uttered a single note of that song.

Was it just me or was Eddie flirting with Michael in that video?
