Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” is Surprisingly Good

MICHAEL JACKSON "This Is It"

When I first heard that there was a “new” Michael Jackson song that was being released as a single in conjunction with the upcoming release of the concert film This Is It, I cringed a little.

Imagining what the discarded track that wasn’t good enough to make it onto his 1991 album Dangerous would sound like had me assuming we were goinng to get something entirely second-rate.

But you know what?  I like this song.

Check it out:

Will “This Is It” return Michael to the Top 10 of the pop singles chart for the first time since 2001?

How do you think it stacks up against his other classic ballads?
