- Bad is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. The album was released on August 31, 1987 by Epic Records, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller, which went on to become the world's best-selling album. Bad itself has sold approximately 30 million copies worldwide, certified 9 times Platinum in the United States alone, and has been cited as one of the 30 best-selling albums of all time. The album produced a record five Billboard Hot 100 number one singles, the first and one of only two albums to do so, the second being Katy Perry's 2010 album Teenage Dream. Similar to Jackson's previous music material, the album's music features elements of R&B, pop and rock.

The jealousy and racism is obvious throughout this video. These reporters really hated Michael Jackson. It was just a matter of time before they would begin their mission to destroy his reputation and legacy. So terrible I almost don't have the words. How could ANYBODY hate such a beautiful and talented human being???????????????
Laurie Solomon They are all bunch of fucking cunts
As the saying goes, "misery loves company". Those who feel the worst about themselves often want others to feel horrible as well.
Because Michael was an afro-descendant. Even with all the talk of racial equality, development, social integrity, etc .; all that is nothing but perfumed shit to camouflage a latent racist sense in world culture. And the United States is one of the systems that most promotes racism. They will never accept that an afro-descendant possesses excellence in several or all of its facets than a person with pale skin.
Laurie solomon I completely agree with you. And thank you so much for saying the truth.
Love you MICHAEL Jackson Forever 😍😘🌻🌹🕴
Mj was so great people couldn’t understand why so they hated him
man ppl in the 80s at the time had no idea how cell phones, twitter, facebook and instagram, dating sites, porn sites, trolls would ruin the world.
S.I. Trigg tho if it wasn't for the internet. we would not have soo much free michael jackson stuff. i'd be lost with out youtube
I'd take p sites, youtube, and cell phones but ditch everything else.
Everyone knows MJ the whole wold . I'm from Saudi Arabia I'm 35 years old now . I still remember how we were crazy about MJ in Saudi. And it's amazing to see someone no internet no Facebook in Saudi Arabia.. We love MJ forever
فواز - Fawaz ابو سويلم - Abu Sweilem FACTS. ELVIS WILL NEVER BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS MICHAEL JACKSON.
Love you
Mj
mj forever
Well said
Typical media nonsense. That one "journalist" commenting on Michael's "high gloss/low content" BAD short film was incredibly arrogant and simply missed the entire point of MJ's work.
I was in Europe1987 at the time he released BAD..it was the most anticipated album ever. I hate when they call him Wako Jacko..I hate it the Brits for calling him that..
i hate it too... unu
He never did anything to anyone but yet they call him that awful name out of pure jealousy shame on them
My mom lived in Germany at the time
@@tyliekinc.No one ask you😅
@shawndavid7 389 don't be rude
Turns out: nope, didn't affect record sales. BAD did incredible, only second behind Thriller. Jokes on you 😂
Clouds' Chats Yes, second BIGGEST selling album of all time. I feel Dangerous would've gone the same way too had it not been for the allegations. It was selling faster than Thriller and Bad and holds the record for being the fastest selling album. The rest of the world really discovered Michael with Dangerous and I feel it could've matched Bad or Thriller in international sales if he hadn't been stopped.
globalcitizenn I completely agree!
globalcitizenn No Thriller is the fastest selling album. Dangerous is the second fastest selling album.
Bad sold about half less than Thriller, and record sales in the States were a huge drop from Thriller
globalcitizenn bad isn’t second
I’m 35, I wish I had been a little older to appreciate MJ in his prime. To be an adult in the 80’s and to see this MJ madness sweeping the world would have been unreal. The GOAT
I saw him from Thriller onwards....The first ever night club I walked into....they were playing 'Billie Jean' ....This will be stuck in my mind always...blew me away as it was loud and powerful. All I can say about MJ....GENIUS ..MEGA STAR....DRIVEN...PERFECTIONIST. Nobody...noboby will ever get close today or tomorrow. Miss you and I thank you for what you gave us...
@@robinpelletstovesuk9194 yeah that would have been unreal! Even when I was in my 20’s I’d walk into a club and billie Jean would be playing, his music always passes the rest of time. My first memory of him was smooth criminal, I’d watch that full length video on the history video every day without fail, many failed attempts at the lean as well lol
Dude made it so big that pre-internet news were dedicated to his album releases.
Ugh I wish that when he first found out he officially had vitiligo in 1984, he would tell everyone "hey i have this skin disease called vitiligo" and people would be more understanding
Right me too
Don't just blame Michael. His family could have spoken up too.
*_True. If I had vitiligo, I would instantly tell everyone._*
He was a super private man and likely overthought the entire process. Plus the white media were gonna kill him anyways
You’re stupid. Why should his family speak when he doesn’t want to speak ? What are you blaming the family for? Was Michael a child ? It was 100% Michaels fault.
MJ DID NOT get his dancing from Elvis.
Terryz T james brown
Jackie wilson and james brown
Terryz T so true
Terryz T at all lmao Elvis can’t even dance tbh😂😂 he’s what u call a non rhythmic white Person that wasn’t afraid to show it all that’s what made him great tbh 💯
Damn right fuck Elvis he learned from James Brown
I know people love Thriller but i think Bad might be my favourite Michael Jackson album.
There's no reason it shouldn't have surpassed Thriller or any other album for that matter and become the biggest album in history. Bad is on a level that Thriller can't touch or any other album. Also the tour was the highest grossing tour of all time. No reason Bad shouldn't be the face of the music industry as far as creating an incredible album and doing out of this world numbers for album sales.
@@pepstalynn Thriller just had more magical moments at the time, for instance, Him getting played at MTV and then that stellar performance at motown 25 just to name a few. not to mention the thriller video. which was groundbreaking. it was just perfect timing.
@@terrellwills1000 Bad had incredible moments too. He had like 7 or 8 number 1 singles off that album, had the highest grossing tour of all time at the time and Bad is what made Mike the official King of Pop
@@pepstalynn yet and still he didn’t take home a Grammy for Bad ! I definitely think he should have however, this is why I say Thriller had more magical moments!
@@terrellwills1000 The Grammys were jealous of the star he was. They never thought a black man would or could take over the music industry like Mike did and they hated it especially after what Mike achieved around the Thriller era.
It's incredible just how cruel these news reporters are...damn.
Elvis??? When will they realise that NOBODY was or WILL be as Mike was???
Elvis is the only musician in the past 60 years who reached the same level of fame around the world as Michael. The fact MJ briefly married Elvis' daughter only heightened the comparison, in the minds of many.
Because Michael was an afro-descendant. Even with all the talk of racial equality, development, social integrity, etc .; all that is nothing but perfumed shit to camouflage a latent racist sense in world culture. And the United States is one of the systems that most promotes racism. They will never accept that an afro-descendant possesses excellence in several or all of its facets than a person with pale skin.
Arnela de Noir THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING?
Ari Jess FACTS. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE LYING AND SAYING THAT ELVIS WAS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL. WHEN REALLY CHUCK BERRY WAS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL AND THEN MICHAEL JACKSON BECAME THE GOD OF ROCK AND ROLL.
Well back then Michael was only 29 years old, he was an adult but still very young so it wouldn't be fair to compare someone as young as him to a legend like Elvis. In the moment, they weren't sure if a legend was being created or not. Of course we know now that he was a legend and now outshines Elvis.
"Yeah he's better than Elvis" "He is the real king" MJ fans are the best! But the elvis question exposed the racism of the media. He was loved by people of all ages and races.
Yeah I kept saying to myself why is she comparing him to Elvis is it because he was a threat and no one could be loved more than Elvis ....
No he is not better than Elvis. T'es d'la merde vraiment toi. Ferme ta gueule et va chier.
I've been a HUGE Micheal Jackson every since 1970 when he was with The Jackson Five and their first single " I want you back". It was definitely obvious back then that Michael would reach the height of success he has. There will NEVER be another to come close to his talent and imagination as a performer. But it's funny to see all the "late comers" that have just discovered Michael's talent starting with the Thriller album. I thank God I watched him grow and transition from 1970 as a child prodigy to an adult genius and legend.
Haters couldn't stop his shine😍
Man if I was alive in 1987 I would've buy that album
Sean Shoemaker *bought
You can still get it!
BAD my favourite Michael album
Larry Turner Yeah cause of the lighter skin?
Me too
Interesting to see the contrast in reporting between Thriller and Bad albums. You see the beginning of media turning on Michael and setting the agenda before even the Bad album came out. I think the Pepsi accident had a huge impact on how he looked after that...plus the fact that he was struggling with his Vitiligo by then.
I think a lot of people were annoyed when he became the biggest artist of all time. This little black kid from Gary, Indiana, emerging as the biggest popstar the world has ever seen. All the Elvis fans were annoyed. Madonna was annoyed (lmao) and Beatles fans were certainly livid. I think buying the Beatles catalogue has caused him untold grief. I wish he didn't. White people of a certain age were already mad of his success and being compared to Elvis and such but buying the Beatles' music was the last straw. That's when the establishment went after him.
Which brings me to the real reason a lot of people were mad: Mike was too bloody good. :-)
Jamie City So what? If Michael Jackson is the biggest artist ever do Madonna fans or herself, Elvis Presley fans, The Beatles fans, Kanye West fans, or any fandoms who's artist often get compared to Michael Jackson have a problem with that . Michael Jackson is the best artist in the world better than , Madonna, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Richie, Prince, even today's artist. It they don't like it shut up and just live with it. There's the door bye bye 👋 🚪
Jamie City Not only that.. he became too bloody powerful.. impossible to control coz he owned his own Empire.. the whole world loved him.. world leaders feted him.. he became an alternative power centre.. he had to be brought down.. he was worrying a lot of big people in high places. Coz Michael was trying to bring about political and social change.
Excellent comment. So true.
globalcitizenn 100% truth
globalcitizenn Yeah… Someone tries to spread love and good around the world and people get mad… What is wrong with this picture? And the answer to that other question is simple jealousy. People get pissed off when they're not as big as someone else and they get jealous as hell. Who cares what you look like? Who cares if he had a monkey or a platypus? It was his music and dance that he was entertaining us with… His God-given talent. He also used his platform of notoriety to try to do good in the world. Oh… Shame on Michael Jackson for trying to do something good… For trying to bring some love into this world and recognition of those that are starving and need help. Shame shame shame… See how ridiculously stupid that sounds?
That idiot that was talking up to the six minute mark was nothing but a jealous piece of crap. What is wrong with this world? Guess why Jesus is coming soon? To wipe out all of us assholes they never did any good, anywhere, anytime.... At least Michael tried. And he tried really really hard. He deserved nothing that people shoved on him!
I literally can't stand this world anymore. It's too evil, cunning, jealous, proud, greedy, sickening… I can't wait until my Lord comes back and takes me home.
At the end of the day it was the media (even today) that killed Michael Jackson. All the comments about his skin color and his face? More has been said about Michael's face than about any other face in the history of faces. Think about how superficial and racist that is. As if that is what is important when it comes to a talent like Michael Jackson. In my opinion, Michael should have worn a paper bag over his head at all times -- just to get back at those idiots who had nothing better to do except criticize and insult his appearance. Jealousy and racism -- terrible combination.
Even today - Google his name or go on Wikipedia. If you Google his name they will show that he was never married. Really? I do believe he was married to Lisa Marie Presley and later Debbie Rowe the mother of his two oldest children. Wikipedia spends most of the time talking about the allegations and plastic surgery. They barely mention all his humanitarian works. I just looked at what they said about George Michael (who just died) and I saw entire paragraphs about his charity and humanitarian efforts. And none for Michael who gave more money to charity than any other popular entertainer ever????
It is up to Michael Jackson's fans to demand from the media that Michael be completely vindicated from all the false rumors and stories about him. And it is up to the fans to continue his great musical legacy. His children will do their part but the fans have to do their part. It would be the greatest travesty for the world to ever forget the greatest entertainer that has ever graced a stage and one of the most amazingly kind and loving human beings to have ever been born.
Laurie Solomon His children are facing the same bullying and backlash from the media. They are just kids! Imagine telling an innocent child that your father is not your father!! The media has NO shame. Because the kids are so wonderful and MJ raised them, they want to diminish his role by saying he isn't their father! How ridiculous can it get?
Interesting to see that guys comments on how people were upset that Michael owned the Beatles music and how he mentioned there would be backlash. I was born in the late 80s so, it's kind of educational for me to have a look at how the atmosphere was around Michael at this time. After his tremendous success with Thriller and especially after buying the Beatles catalog, things really started to go left with Michael as far as the general public's sentiment. It was only matter of time that they found something to go after him on; something that would stick.
I think many people were happy that scandal befell Michael and many of those people had a platform in the media. Those same people are still using their platform to chip away at what's left of Michael's legacy using those age old allegations. Every year, there's a bullshit story about that subject. They won't be satisfied until pretty much no one celebrates Michael Jackson, IMO.
you can be a successful black artist, but not to successful. they can say him cheering his appearance made perks turn on him ask that want but It's clear as day that he was getting blacklash before he even debuted his new face. We know what that is. They want Elvis to stay the king.
Couldn't understand what you were trying to say there but I agree with the last line. A lot of what has happened to Michael, particularly with how he was slaughtered in the press, was more so to dirty up his name and image and allow Elvis and others to be superior. A lot of people don't like how he was held in such high regard by so many people worldwide. Even in death, Michael's bones are still being picked at.
Millie G. thats not the totality of what Nelson George said. he said by MJ making such a radical change in his appearance, he would offend allot of people particularly his black audience which was the base of his appeal. and thats exactly what happened
scorpionJB Where did I say that was the totality of his comment? I was speaking about the Beatles catalog and how he said there would be backlash from that.
Millie G. Very observant. It began right about here. "The Takedown of Michael Jackson." What's strange, is that I lived, through the 80's, partied to MJ hits, I watched the Motown Special the night it aired, and from that to the Bad album, I didn't see a change in Michael. I saw an evolution, and an extension of Michael. I never questioned his lighter skin, or thinned nose. In my opinion, he did transcend. I just saw, and heard the sexy artist....From the beginning.
Wow thanks for this! This is when these devils started to turn on him though. SMH.
GimmeABeat86 FACTS.
GimmeABeat86 😚
She called them the devil 😆😆,rightfully so
This man rocked the whole world 🤩🎶
The Beatles should feel honored that an artist of the caliber of Michael Jackson bought the copyright. First, because Michael did it out of admiration for Beatles music, he did not do it to demonstrate any kind of superiority complex. Second, Michael has nothing to envy to the Beatles. Michael is a 1000K artist. Third, look at how your culture is hypocritical, if Britney Spears had bought the Beatle music rights they would have applauded her; but since he was an afro descendant then their guts burn. And with these shameful displays of ignorance, you calle yourself the greatest country of all? Their hatred will overtake them!!!!!!!
You speak the truth
He meant his Last tour in America..Michael knew that he became a world artist.. America became to small for him..therefore I had the opportunity to see him Live Three Tours here in Europe as an American citizen living in Europe.
At one point he did said Bad was gonna be his live tour until the record company changed his mind for when DANGEROUS dropped
What's wrong with that dude at 3:35? Michael was right.. there was a lot of backlash against him for buying the Beatles catalogue. I thought people asked for permission to use the music, Michael didn't decide where to use it. This black dude should be proud of him but with Michael it's always a strange reaction from people. Michael was absolutely right. The global crossover success of Thriller and the financial victory of the ATV catalogue business deal was just too much for people to take.. plus his unstoppable popularity and influence all over the world where world leaders were contacting him directly.. he became like an alternative power centre in America. He just had to be brought down. They used his vitiligo and his desire to help children to their advantage.
Media was salty from the start. He was private and they hated that. He owned the beatles because Paul McCartney didn't want to and they hated him more. His appearance wasn't accepted because it was different or wasn't normal so the hate got stronger and stronger and began to get personal and disrespectful. This guy was smarter than everybody else and had positive messages in his music. The press tried to turn people against him and it never worked. RIP Michael Jackson.
The games the media plays to build up and tear down artist.
But Michael Jackson used Music brilliantly to influence society in a positive way.. he already made a concrete difference with we are the world. Guess the reporter was too cynical to see it. All artists should use their art to influence the world for the better, that is the purpose of art.
I wish he kept his thriller look going .... he was so good looking during thriller....
He still looked fine to me during BAD bro, even dangerous. It really was a big change though and even so I wish people just focused more on his sheer talent especially when performing live than anything else
@@redstripe_58 by the time bad hit he’d totally ruined his natural good looks .... I could imagine how much of a shock it would of been to his fans that were used to seeing during thriller .... he resurfaced for the bad video looking quite ridiculous campared to the thriller.... by the time bad came around he was looking extremely over done with the skin lightening and too much surgery.... you can tell he knew deep down he’d gone too far ...but it’s like he was addicted because by the time dangerous came out he was even lighter and had even more changes done..... I wish he never went so far with it all .... like I said he looked so good during thriller.... I wish he would of kept that look going instead of ruining his natural good looks
@@redstripe_58 11:40 she said it all
@@nebstaism I can agree with that
@@nebstaism But the Bad era brings the girls to the yard, many love this era because of his look, his sexiest look for many. He should had stopped there with his surgeries and lightening....but Michael wanted the spectacle and he went for it.......
wtf. Why so much focus on michael's looks? Hounding on people's opinions about his appearance instead of focusing on his music. Stupid, shallow media never fails descend to the level of tabloid trash whenever MJ is concerned. And in my opinion, Michael looked his best during the bad era
Yuuri Shibuya I know. He did look the best during the Bad era. I really really hate when black people talk negatively about him. That guy on here - jealous. Michael was beautiful - as a kid, as a teenager, as an adult - all ages. Jealousy and racism.
+ann landers the truth is he did not look natural during at any point after Thriller, he was already unrecognizable by the time that Bad video premiered where every single trace of his ethnicity had been altered.....and that's a huge part of the problem, his fans of today really think they are upholding his legacy but they are not because they refuse, absolutely refuse to see the truth, acknowledge the truth about this situation and mainstream media is acting in the very same manner......the fact is Michael Jackson witnessed declining record sales after each and every album after Thriller because as Nelson George said in this special lost his black audience, the base of his appeal, it was his black audience that made it possible for him to become a global superstar.....there is no jealously, there was anger because Michael moved beyond his blackness in every conceivable fashion, but his life became hell because of it because that strategy was never ever going to work...........every single fan of his of today need to do a serious self evaluation in regards to this situation and stop propagating the false image....what could have been the greatest story in music history turned out to be the greatest tragedy...........because of god awful advice from opportunists, everything of significance was destroyed......he never had vitiligo a day in his life and everybody know it deep down.........as early as the Bad era, you could already see the damage afflicted on this man's appearance and tons of makeup was used to cover it up......the fact is black people would never have talked "negatively" about him if he had not had severe racial neutralizing plastic surgery, and it wasn't just black people who responded in anger, but white people who saw the truth for what it was did to, along w/other cultures of fans who bought that Thriller album
scorpionJB Michael having vitiligo was confirmed in his autopsy and you can see glimpses of white patches on his arms during the Bad tour which was years before he publicly announced he had the disease. The original gloves that he wore during the Victory Tour have dark makeup stains on the inside. Michael was wearing dark makeup even during the Thriller era to hide the white patches. If you still want to think that Michael lied about having vitiligo then you're the one not seeing reality and letting your opinion cloud evidence. "Michael abandoned his blackness" is an opinion, "Michael had vitiligo and donated money to many black organizations such as funding scholarships to black colleges" is a fact. Michael started to lose his audience because that's the nature of fame. Fame is fleeting for everyone that comes across it. Even if Michael never had vitiligo and or any surgery, he still would not have stayed at the top of the charts forever.
+Yuuri Shibuya the nature of fame had nothing to do with it, he was already the most famous entertainer in the industry during Off The Wall, Michael Jackson never had vitiligo a day in his life, that autopsy is no more real than the believe there is life on mars.....and the original glove did not start during the Victory Tour, he started wearing the glove 5 years beforehand...and he never had white patches, every bit of discoloration that he did have were brown spots, indicative of the fact that he compromised the pigmentation of his skin by choice, vitiligo don't make your nails turn brown like his did by the 2000s....and to show how off track this fable is, Michael said during the Oprah interview that he started getting a skin disorder during Off The Wall which was released in 1979, so the time track is all wrong and there's no way he had it then either, and a skin disorder is not responsible for a person to have multiple racial neutralizing plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures........if he had never destroyed himself like that, all of his albums after Thriller would have sold more than what they did, and I'm sure in the end he wished he never did it, but it's not all on him though as he received the worst advice there was for people looking to exploit his name and talent after he reached the pinnacle
+Yuuri Shibuya and there is no way he fathered them 3 kids either, and that's why that young lady is having so many problems because she doesn't know here true lineage
I remember as a kid in the early 2000’s being mesmerized at how different he looked on the cover of Bad compared to Thriller and always wondering if people in 1987 were as shocked as I was. Well I guess I got my answer
The Bad World Tour 1987-1989 Did extremely well 👏
He's not fucking Wacko Jacko.
They just don't understand who they killed.
damn they were callin him wacko jacko already in 1987 durin the bad era when his skin was still alil dark ?!!! i thought that didnt start until the 90’s when his skin had already turned white
It was still an obvious change from a couple years before
I noticed the Wacko Jacko name when the reporter said it. This was in the 80s when he was doing extremely well. I was like why are they calling him Wacko Jacko?? I thought that name started around the time when he dangled his baby from a balcony🤔. Just watching this I sense a lot of jealousy from these news reporters😐.
Misfit. Marv yeah but they were all just confused because they didn’t know he had bad vitiligo which is why he started bleaching his skin to even it out.
it was a racist nickname
his skin wasn't dark anymore in the bad era
That radio station holding a contest of who could name the singer who duetted with MJ on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" shows how drastically things have changed since then. They couldn't hold a contest like that now. It'd be way too easy. Everyone would just just google the question and have the answer in a matter of seconds. Ah, the Dark Ages before the Internet.
Hahah. Asking little 7 year olds "How do you think Michael will go down in history? How do you think history will treat Michael Jackson"?
Snormann 😂😂😂😂😂 word
Michael said “the concept came from a True Story” ..in his Interviews...and People understand that Michael
Speaks of Social Issues and Problems occurring in Society. The reporter said rock stars and speaking about
Issues. Is an area where these two must be careful how they parallel with one another. In my opinion they are the best Images and Medium to Express Issues because they are the most celebrated. Michael Jackson is the Best Teacher ..Professor and Scholar to educate and express all of these issues.
Well, this pretty much explains why Bad didn't sell as much as Thriller. His skin tone, buy Beatles catalog, dispute between him and Quincy Jones, and just mere jealousy from other celebrities and medias due to his immense success and fame. I think Hezakya Newz guy explained very well.
I can't tell if the reporter is racist or just really really stupid. How does she think people think about Michael? The greatest entertainer ever. These media hacks all sound like they hate Michael Jackson. I just really don't get it. Everybody else LOVES him and they hate him?
People are entitled to to their opinion but people didn't have to be so cruel. He is a human being with great talent. But still a human being. They were so mean to him in front of the world. I'm glad MJ didn't break from the cruelty of others.
MJ was one of the good ones and evil tried to take him down.
First, of all he was inspired by James Brown not Elvis Presley
11:36-11:46 - I'm so annoyed lol...Where are these women looking thru? Their butt hole?! Talkin bout "ppl are talking about how foolish he looks" REALLY? girl u look and sound foolish get outta here! & the other one "the new look is not too hot" LIKE WHAT? Girl sit down YOU don't even look good so wth! Who the hell gives a shit how his looks changed?! He was still one of the most beautiful ppl on the planet both in and out no matter what! It's so sickening how they focused on everythin but what was really important about him. I'm also so tired of how ppl get offended by every single thing he did and unfortunately the world is still and will always be that way. RIP Michael Jackson, your true fans will always love and support you!
Michael Jackson-bad-1987
Thank you for uploading this
Bad is the greatest. All the people complaining in this video were wrong, everyone loved bad, and MJ is still idolized by hundreds of millions around the world. Bad came out 35 years ago today, and is my favorite album of all time. I’m 23, so it obviously has stood the test of time. Also the way these reporters are so nearsighted that they think MJ making social commentary in a song in a stupid thing to do is laughable, and the media is still jealous of MJ. Also, the way they tried to say beatle mania and “osmond uproar” were bigger than MJ; you can smell the jealousy and hate from these “reporters” MJ was literally the most popular singer in history, love him or not.
I have never seen anyone who release a new song or new album get a public adulation and people goes crazy for Michael Jackson hes truly the greatest musician of all time !!
Padma M R they felt threaten by his power that's why the media hated him so much MJ was too good for this evil world
Shame on the American and English media tabloids bully ect... they clearly showed their true colors MJ is beautiful inside and out the world didn't deserve him. RIP angel 😥😥😥
Michael Jackson is the real King. Loved what the guys says.. Hate the question from her..How is History going to treat Michael. We all know now.
This is 2019 and I'm now seeing this .pleeeeeze!!!.
I wish i would have saw this Back when i was young about 5 Years old Michael is the Greatest!
nice
thats awesome
text me (571) 208-2058
samantha weiss who is this for me or wayne?
Considering he sold 7,000,000 copy’s in a week, no. His image didn’t affect record sales.
I don't care about the Beatles..... MJ is waaay better in every way.
As a kid, me having the Number Ones DVD as a kid with almost all of Michael's short films, I never paid attention to Michael's physical changes as I watched "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" all the way to "You Rock My World". I never questioned it til I got older. I found out he had vitiligo and a handful of surgeries. (some for medical reasons, some for cosmetic reasons) Most surgeries being his nose because he had broken it in 1979 and had to get a rhinoplasty. From there, he had to get it reconstructed multiple times through out his life. His chin dimple being most likely from 1986 to early 1987, not sure why he got it. But he wasn't just some plastic surgery-addicted freak, other factors contributed to his appearance. Michael barely ate, he was always losing weight. He was literally on the verge of anorexia in 2009. But Michael was a proud black man and always claimed his ancestry. He is one of the reasons I am proud to be black, he was my first role model. He's the greatest and there will be no one like him.
Great music is what important...
When I seen the new look Michael Jackson when BAD came out!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! He put me in a mindset I had never known before!! Which made fall in love with him even more!!
Why because his skin got lighter?
That's because you're white
Why was that reporter so obsessed with asking the concert goers what their surnames were and then making sure she had the correct spelling?, even though the world was a completely different place back then it still seemed abit creepy and intrusive.
I like the feeling and atmosphere before they started to ruin his life in early 90's
Didn't you watch this Report? They started after THRILLER and you can watch how they started to destroy him. It's always like the Media lived in a parallel world on one side MJ with his success and the people loving him and on the other side the Media with their own story total ignoring the Facts
@@unknown-pt9fk They didn’t like a black man like him to be successful. They were jealous of him and wanted to bring him down. Assholes
Minor burns to his head.........I don't think so. MJ for ever.
I started 11th grade when the Bad album was released. The album got me through some hard times in high school. Michael has been my favorite artist ever since the Jackson 5/Jacksons days. King of Pop forever!!
The golden time
The golden year
I think its amazing that stupid question..is he better than Elvis.. Elvis did his thing..but this was Black American considered to many as incendiary..but at the end we seen what they wanted to do to his Legacy. Rest In Love Michael.

To the people asking why they're harping on about his looks - HIS SKIN LITERALLY CHANGED COLOUR WITHOUT EXPLANATION. You can respond with "he had vitiligo" all you want, but he hadn't made that public at this point. If your friends or family turned up one day and their skin was a different colour, you'd speculate about it. Anyone who says they wouldn't is a liar.
People talk about his looks in the video but nobody mentions his skin color at the time they probably just thought it was makeup
@@nathanlopez5667 they did
Michael was the first one to deal with fake news
MichaelJackson ' was MichaelJackson can't forget my favourit MichaelJackson king of pop and prince of heart
It's especially repulsive to see black people (like this guy Nelson George or whatever his name is) talking about the Beatles catalogue and how Michael is using it. Michael bought it and he can do whatever he wants with it. And by the way I was a big Beatles fan but most of their music sucks and to say it is "sacred" is a load of crap. Even a lot of blacks were jealous of Michael's talent and success. They played a role in trying to keep him from reaching even greater heights of glory.
Laurie Solomon Is true. A lot of blacks are jealous of him too.. like why him? Why not me kind of way.
Laurie Solomon your a Beatles fan yet most of their music sucks. Nice logic
Thats cute and all but imma need yall to stop saying "blacks" idc if ur black, white, green, grey, blue that shit is offensive and a disrespectful way to call black people.
Laurie Solomon I agree! He pissed me off. I really wondered whose ass he was trying to kiss by saying that. I'm a Beatles fan also, but he was laying it on thick. The catalog seemed to be the first method the media used to try and villianize MJ.
Mahdi Is Me a lot of Michael Jackson’s fans are extremely racist lol.
R.I.P 2 MY HERO, MICHAEL JOSEPH "JOE" JACKSON/THE JACKSON 5 (AUGUST 29th, 1958 - JUNE 25th, 2009) & OF COURSE, MY GIRL, WHITNEY ELIZABETH HOUSTON (AUGUST 9th, 1963 - FEBRUARY 11th, 2012) YOU BOTH WILL BE MISSED FROM THE HEAVENS 2 ALL OF US.
I can't believe that the press spoke something good about MJ..
I can't believe the disrespect by some of the news. disgusting.
The tragedy of greatness..
When young people used to look healthy, untroubled due to no social media delusion.
Miss you Michael . The great forever
that reporter is annoying and someone just disrespect Michael Jackson
Music doesn't get this hype anymore
Jaden Alvardo I know. Music hasn’t got this kinda hype since the 90s
@@firasharb1454 For real It's all streaming and even then it's not as hyped because it not promoted like this. Nobody is waiting in line to buy an album even from the best current artists.
Lil black me liked EVERYTHING about the Bad era.. His look.. His music/videos... Tour..... Everything.
Terrence Malbrough You think he looked better in Bad than Thriller?
@@eph_loves_80s74 I think he looked his best during the HIStory era but Bad is definitely the best album ever made
@@cengizertekin No HIStory era is not the best look either
@@eph_loves_80s74 to me, it certainly was
@@cengizertekin Because of his white skin?
Wow, was that CBS Sunday Morning reporter was completely out of touch. He obviously had pre-conceived notions about him, his music and his videos. What a jerk.
*_Why are people talking about Michael looking different in the BAD cover, when Michael in Thriller looked nothing like in Off The Wall?_*
probably because he still looked black during Thriller era.
Exactly he looked very different when he released the Off The Wall album
EXACTLY
Well, I believe his vitiligo, makeup and the plastic surgeries were way more evident and people got shocked. From Off The Wall to Thriller he only changed his hair basically. I wish he was more open about his vitiligo, especially before the release of Bad. But that's no excuse to call him Wacko Jacko.
He did. Only the hair and nose changed from OTW to Thriller
These reporters were miserable
man I love that man
8:15 “silliness”......”foolishness”???? 🤔 The snarky disrespect is actually making me quite HAPPY!!! It shows his greatness when the anchors are MADE 2 TRY 2 throw shade 🙄
king 💚
Love that album
Another example of the media bullshit: "minor burns in a soft drink company commercial"? First of all, they weren't "minor burns". That accident started Michael taking prescription painkillers and made his sleep problem worse. The "soft drink company" was Pepsi making it seem like it could have been some small never heard of company. The media is always diminishing Michael in some way. Just watch for it.
+ann landers Do you not think that info came from his own people? Bearing in mind he had a professional interest in Pepsi (which would continue for around 6 or 7 years after the accident), so would not have wanted to give them too much bad press, and so played it down?
Little Harmony ikr and yet he should go straight to hell because that bitch is everywhere
This black Newz guy didn't know anything about Michael Jackson and his fans. I for one never even knew people thought his long hair and look was even an issue then. He was the King of music and music videos then. Do people question Beyonce's music videos and their message??? These interviewer's are really bad...7 year old kids being asked questions like these.. You can not really compare Michael with Elvis..totally different generation..no way..both are king of their time.
To the people complaining that they're talking about his image: his skin colour literally changed without explanation. How could that be ignored, especially when we're talking about the most successful black man in music history? He hadn't told anyone he had vitilligo yet. Had he done that before Bad, he could have curbed the speculation. BUT...at that time, we know he wanted to be viewed as weird, and so my (admittedly untested) theory is that he purposely didn't announce the vitilligo because he wanted all that speculation. Of course, it ended up backfiring horribly.
SwingRiots ikr
Shandra9000mail There's nothing to believe because it's already been confirmed in his autopsy report. He had lupus and vitiligo (pretty much one and the same, as both are autoimmune diseases which attach the skin through antibodies). It was already evident by the early 80's; you can see pictures from the thriller era where he had reddish rashes around his cheeks (a clear sign of lupus).
My fevorite álbum is Thriller, Bad and Dangerous
History my favourite album.
Lol at the waxwork. What an embarrassment Madame Tussauds 36:20
Terra Hawk I have noticed they make TERRIBLE waxworks of the non white stars.. they do the same to Bollywood stars
From the second Mike bought the Beatles catalogue the wheels had been put into motion to destroy this black man who dared accumulate that much wealth and power in the music industry. An industry that once was owned and ruled by white men now was the pedestal upon which Mike stood.
Little did they know how serious those burns were
Bullshit, his Black audience loved his music regardless. Everyone loved Michael 🎶
why are these people's faces orange? and their lips are orange too, weird!!
Also why are the making Bad sound like Mike is trying to distance himself from black community when it was meant to be the complete opposite
Right! It's so manipulative!
How exactly?
I think with Michael not being forthcoming with his Vitiligo has done a lot of damage. A lot of these comments about his skin condition could've been put to rest by just making a statement. It all just snowballed and became something that he couldn't control. I thought it was too late when he came out to Oprah. Imagine how many people he could've helped and the awareness he could've brought to the disease.
babygunz0604 I honestly doubt it. Let's look at the time. Nowadays, we are still not that completely accepting to vitiligo because it is not understood, so imagine how it would've been in the 80s. Even if people did believe him, they would've called him a freak, said he was involved in black magic and etc. It would've been more detrimental to his career and I doubt it would have made people understand him and sympathise.
babygunz0604 I think backlash and media scrutiny was inevitable
I'm not saying the backlash would completely go away. I was talking more about the criticisms he got from the black community that he wanted to become white which is not true. Today, we're actually more accepting of vitiligo. We have models that freely flaunt their vitiligo without makeup. There was a tv anchor who came out as someone with vitiligo. They all got support. The comments he got then were out of ignorance and bringing light to his disease would've brought forth understanding and knowledge. Many who suffer from this disease felt like they were alone because it is a rare condition. I think it would have brought comfort to them knowing that a huge pop star like him had that disease. I mean he advocated for HIV why couldn't he do the same vitiligo?
babygunz0604 And that is only recently. We are only starting to get used to it and accept it, eventhough we have been aware of its existence for a while .Don't get me wrong, I understand what you are saying and I agree with you, I wish he did too, but I can't imagine how people would've reacted to it at that time, so I can understand why he didn't. Yes, with Michael's platform, he could've helped to share a light on the condition, but it must've been difficult for him, due to his insecurities and how the subject was considered taboo. And we don't know how people would've received it, we dont even know how black people would've received it, so it could easily been seen, from him, a lose-lose situation and personally, i think it would've gained more ridicule, than the skin bleaching rumour.
babygunz0604 And also he advocated for HIV, around the same time he said he had vitiligo
During those days where got internet ? It's incredible to believe on leakage, unless the TV cable station realease on news or commercial in radio. Bad is a very good album and also successful era for MJ. The world recognize MJ's MVideo and influence by the King of Pop during BAD era
Bill Mahoney is my clear favourite! He's like Sunshine! xo
So ruthlessly ignore the positives and twist everything. Wow.
Reporter: What do you think he looks like?
Kid: His sister. Hahahaha!
