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.
