Michael Jackson's unforgettable duets!
"Beat It," featuring Eddie Van Halen.
As mentioned above, this song is amazing with the beauty and majesty of the guitar riffs... "Beat It" is the perfect fusion of rock and pop!
It should be noted that for Van Halen himself the co-operation with Michael was... unexpected. At first the guitarist even thought that he was being joked at! But when he realised that Michael's proposal had no hint of humour, he quickly agreed!
"I played for free, purely as a favour... I must have been a complete fool to do that! At least that's what the band members said... But I don't see it that way. I knew what I was doing, and I wanted to do it... I usually never do anything I don't want to do," Eddie recalled.
"Say, Say, Say" (featuring Paul McCartney).
The song needs no introduction! Curiously enough, Michael literally moved in with Paul and Linda while recording it. As a result, the three became good friends! By the way: not only the song itself, but also the music video can be justifiably called one of the most memorable!
"Scream," featuring Janet Jackson.
The undoubted diamond of today's selection is the family duet of Michael and Janet! A rousing melody, catchy lyrics, colourful video, which is rightly considered to be one of the craziest music videos of the 90s! There is nothing to add here... We can only enjoy it!
"State Of Shock" (featuring Mick Jagger).
Mick brought so much energy, so much passion and fun to the song! There's a reason it reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 (although it could have easily claimed the top spot...).
Interesting fact: "State Of Shock" was originally planned as a collaboration between Michael and Freddie Mercury! But their schedules were so different that in the end Jackson recorded it with Jagger. Perhaps it was the right decision!
"Give In Me," featuring Slash.
This song is often referred to as a hard rock ballad. Well, Michael's bold experiments have always borne fruit. The composition is extremely sensual and beautiful....
And lastly, a small but nice bonus.....
