For anyone new to the game:
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 3 days the song with the fewest votes will be crowned CHAMPION.

    Both songs are amazing but I still think man in the mirror is the best song.  Anybody ever see Michael live in concert?   How was his live show?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I knew this would be the winner but feel sorry that Dirty Diana was left off the final round...

    Still haven't voted off Leave Me Alone (was never a choice...) though I doubt it would've survived this long anyway. Man in the Mirror is the best song.

    It wasn't included on the original vinyl, only CD. That is why I excluded it.

    Ahh, wasn't aware of that.  I only ever had the CD.

    Love Smooth Criminal, and it really has the superior melody IMO, but the chorus doesn't come remotely close to Man In The Mirror's - that chorus is AMAZING. It has this unique kind of power to it that is super special. So I was really left with only one choice.

    I've been trying to get rid of this song for the last (including this one) 3 rounds. Man in the Mirror is definitely the better song.

    My first ever concert experience (with my family) when I was 11 - the Victory tour in 1984. It was alright, I guess. Short setlist! I recall it being quite cold in our nosebleed seats.

    I haven't voted yet but I think Man In The Mirror is definitely the "bigger" tune.

    Looks like Michael fans are on the edge of their seat.
