Michael Jackson’s number one hit “Ben” was an ode to what type of animal?
Speechless (Michael Jackson song) Christensen said that "Speechless" was "produced by Mr. Jackson in bombastic style à la Celine Dion". He added that as the track ended with an emotional Jackson, it drew a parallel with the singer's 1972 ode to a rat, "Ben". Vaughn Watson of "The Providence Journal" hailed "Speechless" as "Invincible"s "best song, and one of Jackson's finest of any album". He added that with the song, the musician acknowledged the pain that accompanies isolation. In a review of "Invincible", "The Wichita Eagle" stated that "Speechless", "Don't Walk Away" and "Cry" were among the "sincere ballads" in which Jackson was exemplary.
