- Michael Jackson: Bad - Album Review (1987). Michael's 3rd album with Epic, but his first with real creative control. His personal flavor really shines through on this album, much more than previous albums in my opinion. Come hear what I thought of this album (and I rant a bit too).

Bad is a masterpiece...period!
yes
Agreed
This album made me realize how Ridiculously talented MJ really is. His vocal skill, Diversity of his Songwriting and Composing, Music videos, his Bad tour everything was so Epic. It was my favorite album of him for very long time.
Mohammad Sufian what’s you favorite now mine is Dangerous
so true
Michael was probably one of the most savvy, innovative artist during this time. Always searching for new sounds, breaking new ground. It really made sense to reach out to Teddy Riley for Dangerous and Rodney Jerkins among others to write and produce Invincible. Those are some great albums. Seems Sony really dropped the ball on Invincible.
onesong2001 get off your high horse. He is allowed to have his opinion
Hey onesong... can we not bring it down to that level please?
What can I say, it's MJ. Bad definitely turned everything around. What followed was the incredible Dangerous, HIStory and Invincible (& Blood on the dance floor if a remix album with 5 original trax counts) , all are spectacular.
what do you mean turned everything around?
Bad is a pure pop masterpiece. It is on par with Thriller in levels of masterful songwriting and superb production. Oh, and speaking of the production, it may be Michael's most ''Prince-ish'' record.
What's Prince's most "Michael-ish" record?
Bad is a revolutionary album! It's my 2nd favorite Michael Jackson album. I loved how he took the reins of creative freedom on this album with the songwriting and producing, and made a cohesive record that was beautiful, funky, inspiring with just the right amount of edge. Iconic and authenically Michael Jackson. It was better than Thriller sonically and creatively. It deserves its iconic status. My favorite songs are Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror, Dirty Diana, Another Part of Me, Liberian Girl, Smooth Criminal, and Leave Me Alone. So great. Can't wait for the Dangerous review!
Prince's Fan There's an extended version of The Way You Make Me Feel video, which makes it clear MJ in fact CRITICIZES males' harrassing and rude behaviour to women and the scope is to show how stressing it is to women when men push themselves on them. (That's why we always see MJ and the other men from where the woman is, to feel how she feels when followed around.) The woman decides to chose MJ only when he withdraws and lets HER decide. It's kind of sad that mv is misinterpreted.
Same goes with Dirty Diana, it looks like it's gloryfing groupies, but that song was meant as a criticism of objectifying women.
@@Vaisin Dirty Diana was exposing people to the world of pop stars and the dangers groupies posed. It clearly shows that these although beautiful WOMEN can be very devious and dangerous. Not once did it objectify or hint at female objectification. Same as TWYMMF, he's showing how hard it is to to get the girl of your dreams to notice you. So he goes and shows how sometimes you have to go to the extreme to achieve this, and by not giving up he eventually gets her to see him hence the embrace and kiss at the end of the video.
My 2nd favourite MJ album my first being Dangerous but I absolutely love this album. One of the only albums where I wouldn’t skip any tracks cause all of the songs are so good! It steered away from the music MJ was known for making. The grooviness of Off the Wall and Thriller were gone and more aggressive and mysterious tone was brought in. It’s like it was someone completely different but still the same MJ voice everyone knew and loved, and it just showed how much more he matured as an artist. Spectacular album!
"Bad" was the first Michael Jackson album I ever bought. I bought it along with Prince's "Sign 'O' the Times". While I like the album, my favorite one from MJ would be "Off the Wall".
Three of the best albums of all time.
two completely different albums but some of the greatest albums of all time probably prince and MJ's best album
The story MJ read which inspired 'Bad' was of Edmund Perry, who was murdered by a plainclothes cop, after Perry and his brother 'allegedly' attempted to mug him. Different accounts had a different person, and not Perry and his brother, as the mugger. Nelson George (who was written books about MJ, as well as the liner notes for the Ultimate Collection) also wrote about the Perry case. Reportedly, Prince offered 'Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me' to MJ but it was rejected. You could DEFINITELY hear echoes of Prince all over the Dangerous album though, especially in the cuts that were not released on the album. Even with 'Bad' you hear some nods to Mr. Nelson. On the Bad tour, during the intermission they played 'It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night' as well. Greg Phillinganes is brilliant, and while he was also director for the Dangerous tour i wonder why he did not continue to be the musical director for the HIStory tour, or This Is It.. Was he even considered? Was he occupied with something else?
Thank you for making the connection between the song and short film of 'The Way You Make Me Feel'. i get a lot of grief for this (particularly amongst the MJ community); but i look at that short film as being some sort of gang rape fantasy video. Tatiana walks in a dark alley with a skintight short dress, and she is basically stalked by Michael, until she gives in. The dudes at the beginning even encourage him to stalk her, and insinuate that it's what she ultimately wants. The song even states that he would 'buy her things to keep him by her side'. Just the whole thing creeps me out. i think 'In The Closet' as a short film was much more tasteful, as it reflected more of a mating dance between two willing participants. Sonically, in terms of arrangement and vocals, the song is brilliant. In terms of subject matter the song creeps me out. i think (as at this point he was deemed 'non-sexual despite being associated with women), this was his way of 'proving' the opposite, but it just turned out to be a misogynistic, immature mess.
MJ is my favorite artist, but he is not immune from critique, or the trappings of his father's training.
'Moonwalker' is also a mess of a film, but 'Speed Demon' and 'Leave Me Alone' were the glue that held that thing together. Will Vinton and Jim Blashfield's direction were excellent. The only pressing i know in existence of 'Speed Demon' is Dutch; for some reason it got pulled, and copies of the promo 45 are expensive. 'Liberian Girl' was written originally in 1983 (there was the interview he did at Havenhurt around that time and mentioned composing the song. i met a woman from Liberia who used to see him and Latoya there all the time in the early 80s.) The woman in the song is Letta Mbulu, who has been recording music since the 60s. She is great for sure. Sadly, the short film for that song was a mess as well. What it looked like was that MJ wanted to make a video featuring a romance between himself and a Liberian woman (or a woman of African descent- continental or diaspora-based), but Epic said 'NOPE!!!' It was as if they were trying to whitewash him, maintaining some 'universal appeal.' 'Liberian Girl' was 'too Black' for Epic... So they made some video essentially trivializing the message of the whole song, with celebrity features. He came back swinging with Remember The Time' though!!!
i am not sure why the speaking intro from 'I Just can't Stop Loving You' were pulled from subsequent versions of Bad. i have the vinyl, so that is all i knew. When i got the 2001 special edition disc i was shocked it was not there.
'Another Part Of Me', to me, is MJ's greatest teaching- and to me, he is a teacher. It's one of his most spiritual/esoteric songs, on a deeper level. The song, to me, is about universal law: L.O.V.E.- the law of vibrational energy. 'Man In The Mirror' is one of his staple songs (Siedah Garrett is a brilliant songwriter, and with Glen Ballard wrote an excellent track), but the song is still about individual introspection to create outward change. 'Another Part Of Me' is about making connections to everything.
'Smooth Criminal' and 'Leave Me Alone' to me, are a couple of the reasons why MJ is considered a brilliant composer. The polyrhythms, the harmonic building, the production... Not enough people give him credit. Bad is miles ahead of Thriller as an album, in my view. i know he wanted to top Thriller in terms of sales, but i think it's better to create a more compelling album and sell less, than attempt to always create mediocre pop albums that sell a lot. Though it is my least favorite MJ album, was Thriller mediocre? Not at all. However, It took no real risks. i prefer MJ's later albums, because he took some massive creative risks he would have never taken had Quincy Jones still been co-producing albums.
Great video, Prince's Friend. Be well...
I still have my copy of the original pressing of BAD from 1987. It didn't have "Leave Me Alone" on it and a couple of the tracks were slightly different mixes.
I especially like this first edition, and the mixes in it.
@@antonmk1244 Is this version still available do you know (via any format)?
''Leave Me Alone'' was only in the CD version when he released the album in 1987. The LP and cassette didn't included this song. And your right, few songs included differents mixes.
Great review, man! MJ spent two years making 𝘉𝘢𝘥 with one goal in mind: Outsell 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳. And therein lies the problem. If it was heard as 11 songs by a great artist, many would’ve seen it as a masterpiece. Looking back, though, it still raised the bar for pop entertainment.
𝘉𝘢𝘥 is the first and only album to have five consecutive #1 pop singles by a male artist. MJ wrote nine of the album’s 11 songs and co-produced the entire project. Iconic short films from this intensely creative period helped him earn the MTV Video Vanguard Award in 1988.
Comparisons with 𝘖𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘭 and 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 are unimportant, except for this one: 𝘉𝘢𝘥 is a pure pop classic with more hits than most artists have in their “Best Of” collection.
It's crazy how this album and most of Mj's albums are timeless!! After all these decades and I'm still listing and obsessing over these songs and I'm just 27 years old ,he is truly the king 👑
My best Michael Jackson CD. Bad was Michael Jackson's seventh studio album but also his third full legth solo album
This album is so special to me and my family. Thank you for the review. Watching my 2 year old dance every day to Speed Demon and Bad was joyful. He adored it. Then of course 1988 was the Bad tour and you knew every song and all the lyrics. It was on MJs 30th birthday and we all sang happy birthday to him as his band dragged him back on stage and he cried and cried so we did too. So much love and togetherness of all races that night it was magical. Back to the album though so so glad Prince did not duet with Michael on Bad it would have ruined the mystique between the two. And Bad was good enough on its own. Hearing Bad makes you automatically want to either bust a move grab your crotch or flick your leg up and out 😂 The ones that made me cry were Man in the Mirror Another Part of Me and Liberian Girl. Still do. Speed Demon is my favourite track. Might even have been Lynn drums on that beat but i just remember how awesome the beat was. Bad and SOTT were incomparable to no other albums that year even though there were many and was so happy not to have to choose between the two.
Smooth Criminal is my fav, but the multitrack mixes on CZcams reveal an unused string part on the chorus that really adds to the drama. It's criminal that it was left off!
Bad was and is still is one of the best albums. I love every single song from the album.
I always heard that it was Quincy who actually wanted Another Part of Me on Bad, and Michael wanted Streetwalker instead, which was later reworked into the song Dangerous.
Correct. A meeting was held between Q, MJ & Frank Dileo (Michael's manager) where they listened to APOM & STREETWALKER to decide which song to go with. Frank Dileo
was seated whilst they listened to STREETWALKER, and got up and danced to APOM. "You're not helping my case" Q recalls MJ telling Dileo.
The Way You Make Me Feel is probably my all time favorite song of his. The music video look at her face, she's into him like the whole time
Bad is my favorite album by Michael he really went to another level with his vocal performances and writing short film, he did something with Roger Troutman for the album but the track is unreleased wasn't strong enough he also recorded tracks in different tempos and alternate versions instrumental grooves without Q
so he was on a mission totally to find perfection anyways alot of people blow off Stevie and MJ collab as not great but I enjoy it 2 vet's on the same track what more do you need lol
I love the whole album every track is a killer it's an amazing peice of work Good Review
DJ Gary Same here, I love Just Good Friends, I feel like its underrated
DJ Gary Same here, I love Just Good Friends, I feel like its underrated
+Gabrielle McLean Right it's very underrated love just good friends
+Gabrielle McLean Right It's very underrated I love just good friends as well
@gabbymclean7726 people sit on that song so much, but I just love that Stevie and Michael collaboration. It's absolutely fire 🔥
I love how responds Prince in that interview with Chris Rock, asking him about the bad situation.
I wish I was a friend of Prince like you😔
This is my favorite álbum ever, Purple Rain 2nd, 3rd, maybe Appetite for Destruction
Can you imagine Quincy didn´t want Smooth Criminal on the álbum? The whole álbum is iconic or almost but Smooth Criminal is one of it´s most iconic songs, maybe mainly because of the vídeo and then live performances? just the «I don´t know» is worth puttin on the álbum I guess kk it´s really a part of Michael that we didn´t know, that way of singin in this particular song, not the «I don´t know», most of the song I mean, it´s something really really new by Michael!
Love your review on this great album this is my 2nd favorite mj album behind off the wall in my opinion. but all his songs are great lol but off the wall and bad are my favorites personally
Who murdered Annie? What? How can you ask if she is ok if she is dead, it is not like she is going to come back to life and say "I'm ok!". LOL!
For me, Bad is my favorite MJ Album , followed by Dangerous and Thriller after that. When I think of MJ at his prime , it’s Bad & Smooth Criminal . Also, Man in the mirror felt sincere to me, where Michael Jackson’s later “positive” songs came off corny to me.
i assume you mean heal the world
I absolutely love your album reviews
So in depth and well done ❤️
Thanks 💜💜
BAD was heavily anticipated..I lived in Europe at the time it was released. I was working in a show as a dancer in a Star Imitation Show which included a tribute Artits for Michae and Prince. I remember when it came out..the first time hearing Bad the song. The sonics were off the charts..You keep saying that the other albums was missing something Off the Wall was an indelible production for the time ..Its because of Off the Wall, Thriller was so accepted. But I understand what you mean.. Michael had more of the vision on Bad.. But, the Bad LP was more constructed for Live WorkQuest Love calls it a stadium album.
PHENOMENAL WERE HIS INSPIRATIONS AT THAT TIME. IT JUST FELT LIKE HE SUCCEEDED IN EVERYTHING HE ATTEMPTED TO DO. DURIN THE RELEASE OF THRILLER I WAS 5 YRS OLD. I REALLY WAS RAISED ON THE BAD ALBUM. THIS IS MY FAVOURITE ALBUM BY ANY ARTISTS. MASTERPIECE. TKS GOD FOR MJJ.
YEAH! I WAS WAITIN FOR IT!
Just bought Thriller and Bad for $10 and nearly mint on Vinyl ! The sleeves are VG ! Couldn't believe it !
17:55 that is a nice sunset for leave me alone good picture!
You break things down! Another great one.
On the song smooth criminal I think Annie Is not dead because there’s the line “So they came into the out-way It was Sunday, what a black day. Mouth to mouth Resuscitation Sounding heartbeats, intimidation”.
The Bad album, along with History, are in my opinion his best work.
Really?My favourite Michael Jackson album - The way you make me feel is a perfect song, and I only wish Prince ould have written a song like that. It was the album that made me a huge MJ fan and still my favourite now. Every song is a highlight. This is peak Michael.
Waiting for Dangerous
Soon. :)
Great review! As I have said before, I'm a Michael fan for life! I can see that you are a big fan of Michael 💜 So, the BAD album is my 2nd favorite album by MJ (1st place goes for Off the wall!) My favorite track from the album has to be Just good friends feat. Stevie Wonder! It's a damn good track!!! And also, BAD was the first album that really got me into Michael Jackson so yeah, it takes a special place in my heart hahaha 🥰 It gets 5/5 for me, I think Michael did great job on this album!
Great (thought-provoking) review again, really enjoying your MJ reviews so far! I don't remember the Stevie track at all for some reason, that's odd - I must have skipped it, but it sounds more like a Motown/Jacksons song (and perhaps something that might have been on Thriller) so that can't be bad! Speed Demon was the very weak link for me (but I was 'just' a kid - I should have another listen).
Hope I've still got my vinyl somewhere as this album meant so much (I was there at Wembley for the 'Diana' gig with my sister and parents, amazing night, what a first gig ever!).
We (my friends and family) didn't have CD players at the time, and I didn't follow updated releases, but Leave Me Alone I think only came out in the UK when Moonwalker was released. I have the 7" vinyl as it was a single here which I went straight out and bought after seeing it in the cinema, so there IS vinyl of it!
Last two things and that's I had the maxi-cassette of Bad, and the Extended Mix (False Fade) reminds me now so much of Prince stuff that I've only now caught up on (like much of the syncopation of the whole of the 1999 album). The cross-influence seems so obvious.
Also (sorry to say it!) Prince must have been spitting feathers when Bad came out! MJ absolutely nailed it right here, and the whole world was at his feet. Prince could have done the same, but followed his spirit and the music. Sign is a better album than Bad imvho, but MJ took the limelight at the time.
I enjoyed bad just as much as sign o the times both fantastic albums
I agree with u, that this is where Michael Jackson,s doing his own style of funk, have both Bad Cds, the first one has Streetwalker, which is rumored to have Prince on background vocals, have it on both remastered Bad, Prince heard some of the tracks was asked to be on it, Prince didn, t want to be it out of respect for Michael Jackson, but on Streetwalker -Prince was rumored to be on background vocals released 2001, the cut is on Bad and Bad25 remastered Cds, Michael created his own style of funk, like the video of Michael and Prince dancing with James Brown--the Godfather of Funk
BAD is his best album period
"Just good friends" and " anothee part of me" are amazing songs.
Yes thank god they left “Another Part Of Me” on the album. It’s an S tier song in my opinion. Too bad “We Are Here To Change The World” wasn’t on the album. I also really enjoyed Al Capone and I might like it a little better than Smooth Criminal. Nevertheless one of his best albums no doubt. Also I wonder if “I just can’t stop loving you” being the first single affected the sales.
No the first single, help on the sales on the album. The song peaked in n.1 (including the United States) for more than 10 countrys at the time of the released and one of his most populars songs of her career. ''ANother part of me'' not received the success of the precedent singles of the album or the last single ''Smooth Criminal'' (the single was not the reconaissance of ''I Just Can't Stop Loving You'', ''Smooth Criminal'' and ''Dirty Diana'').
@@WCD199317 Be real, any song he released off the album as the first single would have been number one. So let’s say Another Part of Me was the lead.. would sales be different?
Alcapone was a demo. Smooth criminal was the end result
This was originally supposed to be a 30 song triple album but Quincy convinced Michael to trim it down to ten tracks, Which is a shame because I think it would have been a landmark if MJ released it
The CD version included 11 tracks when he released in 1987 the album.
But then when Epic rereleased Bad album as Bad 25 in 2012 it included more never before heard tracks on Disc 2
bad should have been a 20 song double album for taking too long to follow up thriller and it would have been his songs in the key of life like his 3rd cousin stevie wonder
Much better then Thriller
Best Michael Jackson's album and best album of all time!
Love your MJ album reviews! ..cant wait for Dangerous!! please say u will be doing Dangerous?!
I don't know when, but it'll be in 2018
Prince's Friend ..Yeeaass u always come thru..im excited.for all the 2018 videos u will have for us! P.S.. i love my merchandise i ordered from redbubble..my tote bag is perfect size too!
So happy the products are good quality. You never know until you order. :)
Prince's Friend .. oh..i already have a list made for when i save up for my next purchase.. t shirts are next:)!
Bad is also my favorite album ever
I love the songs Smooth Criminal, Bad and The way you make me feel the most in this album
My second favorite album (OTW is my first). My fave tracks are "Speed demon", "Liberian Girl", "Smooth Criminal (sounds like "OTW")" , "Dirty Diana" and "Leave me alone".
I love the ending to the Bad music Video when Michael starts shouting ‘you’re telling you’re doing wrong’
dirty diana is my jam!!!!!!!
Great review of MJ's most personal album!
Thanks much!
I LOVE THE BAD ALBUM especially the second single especially the original vinyl version, the 25 remaster ruined it’s rhythm and takes out a few favorite parts of the song i love, but once i got my hands on the multitracks i took advantage of it in my last mix of this song.
Right about that
That 25th Anniversary remaster sounded stiff, boring, and bland
Off The Wall was happy Michael excited to break free.
Thriller was about hits.. he wanted to put out an album with all the tracks as smash hits. his most serious album a revenge on the music industry.. thriller introduced us to angry Michael.. he came for blood
Bad was the most creative of all his albums. I think bad was when he attained perfection of his craft. He was at peak creativity.
Dangerous was experimental
History was frustrated, angry and personal Michael
Lol Prince's Friend, did you noticed when you said let's see what's so amazing about them at about 3:07 to 3:08. then it cut to Bad with Mj saying because I'm Bad lol Bad in a great way of course.
Are you a big michael jackson fan
Been listening my whole life
Just Good Friends was written by the writers of Tina Turner's "Whats Love Got To Do With it"
PLEEEEASE do more MJ album reviews!
It wasn’t until I saw live Sheryl Crow “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” that I could discern the parts.
Essential MJ period. Great review. I’m with you about the Stevie Wonder duet, which I really tried to like but no. IMO, Stevie’s duet with MJ on his ‘Characters’ CD (also from ‘87) titled ‘Get It’ was much better. Kudos to the MJ Estate for releasing the ‘Bad 25’ super deluxe box set, which was almost perfect!
My second favorite album of him. I remember to listen the songs in 2008 in store when i listen the album and i like the general album, hugely more to ''Thriller''. I also listen last year ''Dangerous'' and the same effect of ''Bad'' arrived, a very good listen. Particulary ''Smooth Criminal'', my favorite song of him. This song included many masterpiece songs like ''The Way You Make Me Feel'', ''Smooth Criminal'' and ''Speed Demon''. Except ''Another part of me'', this album was a good pleasure to listen of the debut at the end.
My favorites: ''Smooth Criminal'', ''Liberian Girl'' (so sensual), ''The Way You Make Me Feel''
My least favorite: ''Another Part of Me'' (not so fan of this song)
Great review! Bad is his best to me.
This is the album Prince through shade at, Someone asked him why was Michael Jackson’s album called Bad? And he said because their wasn’t enough room for pathetic.
prince is my favorite artist of all time but he was wrong for saying that bad was a great album without a doubt
This álbum is so great even tho I have Dangerous above Bad I have really enjoyed this álbum through the year It has really aged well and when In have a son this álbum and Thriller will be first couple of álbum In will make him listen to introduce him the musical genius of Mike
You think you could do some reviews on the Jacksons albums or J5 albums. I don't mind his BAD album, but I love his "Forever, Michael" album, final motown album as well. I think that's a perfect good album. I love "I'll Come Home To You" along with "Take Me Back"
"Music and Me" as well is a underrated album.
I will likely go back into his older stuff once I'm done with all his adult stuff. I think that'd be a fun journey as well.
Siedah Garrett had a charmed career, singing with Michael and Dennis Edwards.
There is no audio for Liberian Girl.

Man my favorite Michael jackson album
I love Michael Jackson he is hot and sexy and I love how he can dance.
This is my favorite album from him ❤️and he had more hits then thriller and any other album
He didn't do smooth criminal at his 30th anniversary concerts.
Off The Wall is a classic. One of the last truly great Disco albums.
As a Prince fan I liked Thriller and Dangerous way better than Bad. Bad was supposed 2 be a duet between the two Superstars but Prince wasn't having it.
as a life long MJ FAN /BAD was great loved the songs and video's but it I just didn't do it for me as an Album at the time / but it has lasted still a classic !!!
Thanks 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Leave Me Alone was released on a 12" and 7"...but not in the USA, which is sad. The elephant bones (LOL!) is The Elephant Man.
Princes friend there’s a old prince interview with CHRIS Rock prince said he was going to be in the Bad music video playing Wesley Snipes part Send me a Comment from Raywin Harris !!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
It's not that old, and I did mention that in this review as well.
when it comes to the The Way You Make Me Feel music video ( or short film , as michael liked to call them) you are looking WAY TO DEEP INTO IT
Yep. That’s what I do here. I try to dive deep. You already know the superficial stuff. You don’t need to me for that, right?
Bad is a great album, but Michael did catch some flax for this one here.
Did anyone find out if Annie was ok?
Prince is alive and I'm going to find him
Quincy Jones also didn't want Smooth Criminal in Bad. Michael convinced him, and it was added to the final list.
Bad didn’t match thriller sales but it broke its own records including
First ever album with 5 number one songs
Highest selling Pre order and first week sales in history of music
Highest selling album of 1987-88
Sighn o the times nor Bad won the Battle is was "Terrance trent Darby's" "introducing the hardline" neo soul was born in 87 !!!
💜🙌🏽
Bad is mainly about breaking through racial barriers, if Thriller promoted African stuffs then Bad is about breaking the racial barriers.
I dig that theory for sure
Another Part Of Me would have been replaced by Streetwalker, which is a great song as well.
In regards to Leave Me Alone, it's ok...I prefer Price Of Fame which got put on Bad25 in 2012
Price of fame is good but It would not of fitted well. Glad another part of me was there but it's a shame that we are here to change the world wasn't on it
@@Snyper1405true but I think bad should have been a 20 song double album for taking too long to follow up thriller
Hey princess friend how's it going I got some facts for you about this entire album okay first off Michael only written 33 songs for this album there are some songs from Thriller That was supposed to be on here that didn't come until later and librarian girl was originally called pyramid girl and I can't stop loving you is a sequel to loving you but due to the fact that the tape didn't meet Michael standard because of the sound quality the song was taken off and so he needed a replacement and that's how loving I can't stop loving you came about and he also did a song with Diana Ross for this album but it never made a spot on the album and there is a thriller song on this album on the anniversary edition and it's called don't be messing around and fly away was given to his sister Rebbie Jackson
Don't you think its interesting how Prince & MJ both made a transition in 1986' Prince started out more synth heavy the whole linn drum machine thing Prince mastered, by 1986 Prince found Eric Leeds & started using horns then later live drums to a more organic sound with NPG' the roles reversed, MJ started out more organic with Off the wall's live drums & horns & then on Thriller which was 50/50' with synth horns etc.. then later MJ's music was all mechanical imo not complementing him at all in later years, it all just sounded the same' while Prince going all organic & jazz influenced funk really helped him make some of his best albums, where Prince was before using synth licks he replaced them with horns as can be heard in his live shows when he's doing songs pre 1985' its like they were both influenced by each other but only Prince benefited more imho
@@onesong2001 hmmm, He was very insecure about staying relevant
I disagree MJ actually his song writing got more in depth ...like in 1979 when he had OFf the wall album vibes you wouldve never though he wouldve dropped a earth song ...earth song is more of a deeper mental perspective than those earlier songs ...And I feel he doesn't get credit for that he actually got more in tune and deep with nature and his spiritual views as well keeping that black conscious as well ...and plus he had more layers to go but he was fighting the forces that be as well ....
What about a review on Victory and Invincible.
Coming eventually
Just gonna put this in here, will your ever review a Weeknd project?
Yep! Will be doing one eventually. Love him.
Prince's Friend nice, he's really good, i think you should review Trilogy first, it's his most darkest project
Bad is my least favorite Michael Jackson album. Too cliche and cheesy to me. I just cant stop loving you, another part of me, dirty diana, and leave alone were the best songs on the album.
One of the best Michael Jackson album that I loved, love MJ. He is wonderful creature of God!
And smooth criminal almost didn't make the album and that wasn't the original title it was going to be called attitude but was changed at the very last minute
Bad is better than Thriller I keep saying it and I still stand by what I said
true same here it's more diverse and unique
If MJ and Prince could have put there ego aside did The Track Bad would have been so special. Seriously over that line??? They could have just changed the line. 🤨😔😲😟
but OF COURSE the real reason wasn't that line... when MJ approached Prince the song was just a scratch, it had only a working title "Pee". And MJ always wrote the lyrics after the melody was ready. Prince was just fooling around with that story. He obviously never wanted to tell what exactly happened between them. Neither did MJ.
@@richardkovacs2006 True that. It's all good and they really respected each other but they were competitive also.

God...In The Way You Make Me Feel he just tries to steal the heart of the girl...nothing to do with herassment...
