Sobre el álbum
"The Essential Michael Jackson", de 2005, es posiblemente la retrospectiva más completa y exhaustiva de la discografía de Michael Jackson. A diferencia de otros recopilatorios esta colección de dos discos abarca toda su carrera. El oyente viaja desde sus inicios como niño prodigio en The Jackson 5 hasta sus últimas grabaciones.El primer disco, por ejemplo, se centra en su ascenso, comenzando con éxitos como "I Want You Back" y llegando a la cima de la era disco con "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". Posteriormente, el segundo disco arranca con la revolución de "Thriller" y "Bad". El álbum no solo incluye los sencillos más obvios, y también canciones clave que definieron cada etapa.
El oyente asiste a una de las evoluciones más espectaculares de la historia de la música. El álbum documenta su transformación de estrella infantil a innovador global y, finalmente, a icono atormentado. "The Essential" es más que una colección de éxitos; es la biografía musical definitiva, el documento sonoro indispensable para comprender la magnitud de su genio.

I'm gonna make a change For once in my life It's gonna feel real good Gonna make a difference Gonna make it right As I, turn up the collar on My favorite winter coat This wind is blowing my mind I see the kids in the streets With not enough to eat Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs A summer disregard, a broken bottle top And a one man soul They follow each other on the wind ya' know 'Cause they got nowhere to go That's why I want you to know I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself, and then make a change I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love It's time that I realize That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone? A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart And a washed-out dream They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see 'Cause they got no place to be That's why I'm starting with me I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself, and then make a change I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make that Change! I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Oh yeah!) I'm asking him to change his ways (Better change!) No message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make the change) You gotta get it right, while you got the time You can't close your, your mind! (Then you close your, mind!) That man, that man, that man, that man With the man in the mirror (Man in the mirror, oh yeah!) That man, that man, that man I'm asking him to change his ways (Better change!) No message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make the change Oh no, no no I'm gonna make a change It's gonna feel real good! Chime on! (Change) Just lift yourself You know You've got to stop it Yourself! (Yeah! Make that change!) I've got to make that change, today! Hoo! (Man in the mirror) You got to You got to not let yourself Brother Hoo! (Yeah! Make that change!) You know, I've got to get That man, that man (Man in the mirror) You've got to move! Chime on! Chime on! You got to Stand up! Stand up! Stand up! (Yeah! Make that change) Stand up and lift yourself, now! (Man in the mirror) You know it! You know it! You know it! You know it (Change) Make that change - Dirty Diana

Oh no Oh no Oh no She likes the boys in the band She knows when they come to town Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down She waits at backstage doors For those who have prestige Who promise fortune and fame A life that's so carefree She's says that's ok Hey baby do what you want I'll be your night lovin' thing I'll be the freak you can taunt And I don't care what you say I want to go too far I'll be your everything If you make me a star Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, no Dirty Diana Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, no Dirty Diana Diana! Diana! Dirty Diana! It's Dia-aa-ana! She said I have to go home Cause I'm real tired you see But I hate sleppin' alone Why don't you come with me I said my baby's at home She's probably worried tonight I didn't call on the phone to Say that I'm alright Diana walked up to me, She said I'm all yours tonight At that I ran to the phone Sayin' baby I'm alright I said but unlock the door. Because I forgot the key. She said he's not coming back Because he's sleeping with me Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, no Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana, nah Dirty Diana Come on!

I gave her money, I gave her time I gave her everything inside one heart could find I gave her passion, my very soul I gave her promises and secrets so untold And she promised me forever And a day we'd live as one We made our vows we'd live a life anew And she promised me in secret That she'd love me for all time It's a promise so untrue Tell me what will I do? And it doesn't seem to matter And it doesn't seem right 'Cause the will has brought no fortune Still I cry alone at night Don't you judge of my composure 'Cause I'm lying to myself And the reason why she left me Did she find in someone else? (Who is it?) It is a friend of mine? (Who is it?) Is it my brother? (Who is it?) Somebody hurt my soul now (Who is it?) I can't take this stuff no more I am the damned, I am the dead I am the agony inside the dying head This is injustice, woe unto thee I pray this punishment would have mercy on me And she promised me forever That we'd live our life as one We made our vows we'd live a love so true It seems that she has left me For such reasons unexplained I need to find the truth But see what will I do! And it doesn't seem to matter And it doesn't seem right 'Cause the will has brought no fortune Still I cry alone at night Don't you judge of my composure 'Cause I'm bothered everyday And she didn't leave a letter She just upped and ran away (Who is it?) It is a friend of mine? (Who is it?) Is it my brother? (Who is it?) Somebody hurt my soul now (Who is it?) I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely Don't try to pick me Don't try ... quit it I never was, I never would Just won't stop Don't bother me (Who is it?) It is a friend of mine? (Who is it?) To me I'm bothered (Who is it?) Somebody hurt my soul now (Who is it?) I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely And it doesn't seem to matter And it doesn't seem right 'Cause the will has brought no fortune Still I cry alone at night Don't you judge of my composure (Body) 'Cause I'm lying to myself And the reason why she left me Did she find in someone else? And it doesn't seem to matter (Don't bother me) And it doesn't seem right (That that cut is) 'Cause the will has brought no fortune Still I cry alone at night (Think of another, brother) Don't you judge of my composure 'Cause I'm bothered everyday And she didn't leave a letter She just upped and ran away (You can really say I'm lonely) And it doesn't seem to matter And it doesn't seem right 'Cause the will has brought no fortune Still I cry alone at night Don't you judge of my composure (Don't be, don't be, don't be judging) 'Cause I'm lying to myself And the reason why she left me (Don't be, don't do) Did she find in someone else? (Can't take it cause I'm lonely) And it doesn't seem to matter (Don't bother me) And it doesn't seem right (This won't cut it) 'Cause the will has brought no fortune Still I cry alone at night (Mean ... another brother) Don't you judge of my composure (Don't be judging) 'Cause I'm bothered everyday (Don't be, don't be ) And she didn't leave a letter She just upped and ran away (Can't you really feel I'm lonely?) And it doesn't seem to matter And it doesn't seem right 'Cause the will has brought no fortune Still I cry alone at night (She don't, she don't) Don't you judge of my composure (Want me) 'Cause I'm bothered everyday (She don't, she don't did it) And she didn't leave a letter (She don't, she don't) She just upped and ran away (Is it my brother?)
