If you want to listen a performer using a variety of sounds, listen to “Ben,” “Billie Jean,” and “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” as sung by Michael Jackson.
In these three songs, Michael uses a variety of sounds and parts of his voice. He uses his falsetto, a mix, and belt. In “Billie Jean,” he uses his falsetto when he says “on the dance”; he uses his mix in the very beginning of the song; and he belts when he says “people always told me be careful who you love.”
