Terry Fator has done The King of Pop justice yet again. 

Watch America’s Got Talent Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock.

On March 7, the America’s Got Talent Season 2 winner used his Michael Jackson puppet to perform a rendition of ”Human Nature,” Fator’s favorite song off of the album Thriller. During his cover, Fator nailed MJ’s breathy tone and hit the impressive high notes at the bridge.

What to know about ”Human Nature” by Michael Jackson

Released off of his best-selling 1982 album Thriller and produced by Quincy Jones, ”Human Nature” reached the number 7 position on the Billboard US Hot 100 Charts. It was written by Steve Porcaro, the keyboardist of the band Toto.

In 2017, Vulture listed ”Human Nature” as the fifth best Michael Jackson song out of his entire discography. ”Starting with that elusive keyboard line and going through the unexpectedly charming melodies of the verses to the heady emotion of the chorus, this is a model piece of pop sophistication,” the outlet wrote.

 

 

The lyrics to ”Human Nature” by Michael Jackson lyrics

Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won’t hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell ’em that it’s human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell ’em that it’s human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?

Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl
She knows I’m watching
She likes the way I stare

If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell ’em that it’s human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell ’em that it’s human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?

I like livin’ this way
I like lovin’ this way

Why? Ho why?
(That way) Why? Ho why?

Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city’s heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I’m dreaming of the street

If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell ’em that it’s human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?) (She’s keeping him by, keeping him around)
Hoo tell ’em
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Cha, da, cha, sha, sha, sha, sha, sha (aah-ah)
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?
If they say
Why (why?), why (why?) (She’s keeping him by, keeping him around)
Hoo tell ’em
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way?

If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Hoo tell ’em
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do me that way
If they say why
Why (why?), why (why?) (She’s keeping him by, keeping him around)
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Why (why?), why (why?)
Does he do my that way?
I like living this way
Why? Oh, why? (that way)
Why? Oh, why? (that way)
Why? Oh, why? (that way)
