Song of the Day

Man in the Mirror

     On January 9, 1988 Michael Jackson came at with the song "Man in the Mirror". The genre of this song is R&B, pop, and gospel. It's in his seventh solo album, "Bad" and was nominated he Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards. Also, it became the No.1 single in itunes downloads in the US and the UK.This song became the No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart after Jackson's death in June 25, 2009.
     I could listen to this song over and over again because of the lyrics and background music. Firstly, the lyrics are very nicely worded and flow very easily, the whole song has a smooth vibe to it. A quote that he keeps repeating in the song is "Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not see their needs." Then, this song was recorded with a gospel choir singing in the background giving the song that distinctive sound.
     The music video to this song doesn't really feature Michael Jackson until a scene at the end of the video. This video represents a very strong topic, which I believe to be very true.To watch the music video click on this link http://www.youtube.com/embed/PivWY9wn5ps?rel=0.
