  • Aileen Joy M. from South Cotabato, Philippines I can't stop my tears from falling every time I hear "Heal the World". I wish I met MJ before, thank him and hug him for this very beautiful song he left for the world to hear. This time of pandemic , the song touches my heart and soul. I love you MJ.
  • Miles from Vancouver, CanadaIt's hard to believe that we're all going through this horrible pandemic that's making us prisoners in our own homes. This song has essentially taken on a new meaning. I guess it is kinda preachy, but it has a beautiful melody. It even makes a perfect closer for the History hits album.
  • Davilla Emota from Papua New GuineaWhat a nice, meaningful song.
  • Jane from Jinan, ChinaWhat a beautiful song. One of my all-time favorite, soothing my heart gently every time I listen to it.

  • Hannah from Ottawa, OnThanks for the music MJ.♥
  • Camille from Toronto, OhBeautiful rendition of the song sung at the end of MJ's memorial at the Staple Center in LA. RIP, MJ. Thanks for the memories.
  • Erin from Boston, Massachusetts, Ma"Heal The World" might be one of the most beautiful MJ songs ever produced. He was a gentle soul tormented by an abusive childhood, a relentless media, and an isolating fame. If only he knew how his death has deeply affected people around the world. RIP MJ 7/3/09
