Most underrated Michael Jackson songs

Dirty Diana was a top ranking hit... It reached #1 outside of the US and was featured in his Bad World Tour.
I don't see the underrated part brah.
Yeah, awesome song. Got into the album because it made MJ dance whenever he played it.
Michael didn't want it there. He wanted Street Walker instead. Understandably so-- Another Part of Me was a song that came from his Captain EO recordings so it was in contrast to his intentions for the Bad album.
Street Walker evolved into Dangerous, the song.
And Michael was done with Quincy Jones for production after this.

Probably because Michael said this about Sony (in 2002) and they stopped promoting the album afterwards.

Great choices but just wanted to point out that Monkey Business and Sunset Driver did get released in Michael's lifetime.
I really liked Threatened, but never see much about it. I only got Invincible after he died, but this last track is something else. It's definitely emulating Thriller, but it's also there to say "Watch your back. I'm not done yet". So it's just a shame that Threatened is the end note of his living career. He could have had another decade in him and was clearly prepping for his big comeback, and then he dies.
Makes me really sad when I think about what could have been.

Yeah, is a damn shame. After threatened, MJ was probably gonna do something like HIStory, filled with angry and personal songs. I really would love to hear what he created from 2001 until 2009.

Stranger in Moscow is one of his best songs. So underrated!
John Dunbar
correct about everything
i've always liked the HIStrory Remix.
I heard this on an '80s radio station just recently. So good.
The songs from the end of his livong career are the last 5 tracks of 2004s Ultimate Collection. Those were recorded in the early 2000s. They are brilliant too and much better than what got put on Invincible.
This time around and I can't let her get away. Can't stand these two tracks. But the one that takes the cake is Privacy, give it a listen and try to say you find any redeeming quality in that one.
Nevertheless, the man had a 40 year career so bad ones are imminent.
Anyway, my pick for his most underrated song is Is It Scary, but I can't help but smile to all the Stranger in Moscow mentions

This Time Around is great. Both Michael and Biggie killed that shit.
