*The BAD Tour was undeniably his vocal peak in my opinion. The vocals were crisp, his moves were smooth and the choreography was on point*
Kobe Wan Kenobi I personally think his performance in the triumph tour was his best vocal wise, but if we talkin solo tours, bad has to win.
Triumph >>
BlueBlurSonic yeah in terms of solo tours. But I do agree, Triumph he was spot on
Dangerous and History tours, the choreography was more refined and perfected imo, yet the vocals were playback. Bad Tour had the best vocals, since it was live vocals with some very little playback.
Hanz Obi that’s also true
I can understand why many people thought he was ashamed of being black. His skin got lighter, dimple in his chin, and his nose got smaller than before ( due to plastic surgery and him having vitiligo, but people didn't find out until 1993). Michael was a huge star and representation for the black community. There were so many black stars back then who separated themselves from their black heritage, but it was wrong for them to say he looked like a woman. However, some black people can be hypocritical because once he got into his later teen years, people made fun of his looks (due to his nose and acne).
Kayla Rogan yes✊
michelle louise really have no clue what you’re talking about. Most, if not all black people LOVE Michael Jackson and always have, and always talk about him having his incredible talents because he’s black.
Love Always ok I’m white but I don’t believe that so that hurt
And why? Because Mike say it in his first time about his skin in 93 . He could have said it earlier in the year 87 what happened to him. Because it was new to me.
@michelle louise bruh where did you get your facts from???
At the heart of ‘Bad’ is a message that says, “Nobody can take your blackness away when you don’t fit in their box.” You can set fashion trends with your biker jacket. You can mix street dancing with West Side Story ballet. You can be cool and well educated.
"Nobody can take your blackness from you except your surgeon and his tools"
@@Longlostpuss Not funny. He had body dysmorphia. Stop acting like he's the only person whose had it.
@@FRESHTEA4U You're right. It's still funny tho.
@@Longlostpuss Being black is about far more than just how you look genius
@@Longlostpuss These jokes are old. When will we acknowledge Michael Jackson for being a human with feelings and personal issues rather than looking at him like a circus act? He never even was trying to surgically remove his blackness. He had vitiligo, lupus, hated his nose, wore makeup to mask vitiligo and lupus, and lost his hair due to burns and lupus. He had both serious physical and mental health issues going on. If you really look at him though, the only surgical change was his nose.
“He’s not black anymore” I’m sick of that bs this man repeatedly tried to tell y’all what was going on with him but it was like damn if I do damn if idon’t the media still wanted to bash him about anything 🤦🏾♂️
I feel ya but not saying anything for 5 years what was the black people supposed to think. I was born in 83 and Michael was black. 4 years later Bad came out. I was asking my parents that's not Michael until he started talking and dancing. Just wished they would have said something not saying anything in those 5 years hurt
Exactly gets me mad
Back in 1987 MJ made no comments on his changing appearance. So you need to use common sense here. Not just black people but every race out their was questioning why MJ looked different.
Your thinking with a bias pov but you need to be realistic, not everyone knew what was going on with mj and why he kept getting lighter cause that’s not usually how vitiligo occurs when someone has it, you don’t gradually turn lighter like that, you develop super pale spots that look albino, he just gradually got lighter not saying he didn’t have vitiligo but because he didn’t look like he had it a lot of people were confused about what was going on with him, thinking he just didn’t wanna be black anymore
People are natural born critics, on and on and on. Michael looked stunning!
He looked like a stunning Brazilian lady, so the commentary and jokes were inevitable.
I'm sure "The Magic Returns" was a corny program. Hopefully those TV critics have come to see that "Bad" is a classic short film. But as a child, I would've agreed that Daryl's story was long, murky, and boring. 😅
Here's why you're right. ... He wasn't as far gone as we think at this point. There's pictures of him sitting on the floor in the documentary Leaving Neverland that clearly show that there hadn't been a massive amount work done on him since Thriller. The biggest change was the skin color. And even though he was bleaching heavy at this point, he was also using massive amounts of make-up to make himself look ligher than he actually was ( there goes your vintaligo theory out the window). If you listen to the DVD commentary of the Stark Raving Dad episode of the Simpsons one of the commentators clearly remembers standing near him and noticing that he was actually darker than he appeared on television.
@@pappagetti Vintaligo? It's called vitiligo. And he had it. It's in his autopsy. Yes he appeared darker behind the scenes during 1985-1992 because when it came time to film a video or do a photoshoot, he caked the makeup on and the lighting made him even paler. But truthfully during 1985-1992, he was mainly dark skinned with some pale vitiligo patches. After Thriller, he was only trying to transition to the pale shade because he knew the vitiligo was eventually going to take over his whole body. There's actually evidence showing that he was more pale under the makeup during Thriller than he was during Bad, which I'm sure he wasn't expecting because he was told it was going to eventually take over his whole body. This is because vitiligo is ever-changing and can get worse or better. Mainly worse in the long run. You need to better educate yourself on the vitiligo.
Of....course...he looked stunning....😍😍
Always to me.
"He's not black anymore" comment broke me...and I know it must of hurt Mike...the ostracism he faced is unbearable 💔
Apparently not as unbearable as staying away from the surgeons and their magical milk. 😞
But seriously, it sucks. I know how demoralizing it feels to be called "not black enough." And that was only high school… and a karaoke bar… and dating apps…

The Beautiful Poem
Apparently they petitioned Brooklyn to change the name but the city didn’t agree to do it.
@@thecollector4332 yes, I heard about it.🤨🙁😠
The BAD era was what made me fall deeply and madly in love with Michael Jackson. The 1st song I ever heard was Smooth Criminal. I was just a little kid at the time, but I knew I had encountered something mind-blowing! I'm in my late 30s now and I've never stopped being crazy about him! I love him forever. ❤👑
I have always thought of MICHAEL JACKSON as a BLACK MAN ......... His music transcends ALL races & creeds. His music is Soul..... Pop..... Love/Ballads...... Awareness of Nature/ Earth...... Peoples consciousness........ His skin colour was due to "Vitiligo" ..... He NEVER disclaimed His Race, Family or Colour . Look beyond his skin & see the beauty and talent that goes so much deeper !!!.
Yeeaass👏👏👏
While getting a surgeon to westernise his looks by carving off his inherited black nose and straightening out his natural afro hair (which actually eventually cost him his hair altogether).
Do you not see how totally contradictory your statement is?
And you don't have to verbally disclaim your race to actually disclaim your race. Pretty much all of his family bar a few have carved away the heritage from their faces with surgery, so this isn't just limited to Michael Jackson. I tend to call what a person does, rather than what they say.
Even his kids ended up being anything other than black, I don't believe in coincidences.
Sorry man, reality check needed.
It just seems many of MJ's fan base are blinkered. I was a fan of MJ, but it doesn't necessarily mean I was blind to his bad decision making.
@Gloria Cruz No, just an objective fan who happens to be a proud black person and would never chop off my features to seek validation from anyone.
Sorry but you're not going to convince me that MJ was proud to be black. He may not have come out and denied his race with his mouth, but he did it with his actions.
Does that mean I'm God? No, what a dumb irrational response to a piece of constructive criticism.
You know its okay to be a fan and not think everything someone represented was necessarily always right?
I don't understand sections of MJ fans, it's almost like you're all in to thinking he was perfect, or nothing, there's no objectivity looking back.
It's disingenuous to sit there saying MJ didn't make some questionable decisions that ultimately cost him his life in the end. I think people like you and the yes men around him were part of the problem, wrapping people up in cotton wool does not help them in the long run.
By the end MJ looked not even a shadow of his former self and he was destitute by the time he died. Die hard MJ fans will naturally point the finger at everyone else, but at the end of the day MJ literally carved out his fate as soon as he sold out to the suits. By the end I doubt he even knew who was reflected back at him looking in the mirror and that's why he was so open to manipulation by others.
That's the sad reality everyone is just going to have to come to terms with. If he hadn't made half the decisions he did, he may still be with us now and in a much healthier state.
It's okay to say MJ was a legend and a musical genius, but saying he was proud to be black when you see him from the latter end of his career to his passing, is just blinkered beyond belief. Let's not make silly comments and discuss the issues like proper adults like you say with clear rationalised evidence based arguments!
@Gloria Cruz WELL SAID GLORIA.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍✌❤🌍🌎🌏
@Gloria Cruz I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying and I totally agree that we are all free spirits and it's our prerogative how we choose to live our lives and what we do with our bodies.
I just took aversion to when fans keep saying MJ was a proud black man in response to this video - he wasn't and this was clearly evidenced by his almost total erasure of anything remotely African on his face. We can harp on about medical conditions all we want (which is the number one go to excuse for most fans), but that's the inescapable bottom line.
You are totally right about nobody being perfect, but that was precisely the point I was always trying to make.
Unfortunately, most MJ fans talk like he WAS God and that he didn't make questionable choices.
In my opinion, the moment he started hacking away at his face, was the beginning of his downfall, very slowly but surely. He sealed his fate.
You keep harping on about God, well I'm pretty certain God put the features on MJ's face that he was born with and I'm not necessarily convinced that he would agree on him hacking away at the work he created.
You can live your life how you want, sure, but it should be known that there are always consequences to ones actions and they will manifest sooner or later down the line one way or the other, as we clearly saw.
Fans need to calm down and objectively reflect on things instead of getting so tetchy, people get triggered so easily these days.
People always have a problem,they can’t be pleased he came with something bigger and better and all they looked at was his skin color and image....Freaking weirdos
But given where black America was at that time and where it continues to be, it was a problem. More so because MJ self perpetuated it by eradicating any signs of his God given African heritage from his face and alienating himself from the black community and vice versa.
You can't go out of your way to go to plastic surgeons to erase the blackness from your face and not expect some kind of backlash from your black fans. Fame comes at a price at the end of the day, especially in Hollyweird and MJ would have been fully aware of this very early on, but was nonetheless prepared to pay it. There literally was no need for any of that, because he achieved relative success before all of that plastic surgery. There's a lot of famous people out there with zero talent that have got by with fake manufactured pop star looks to compensate for it, but MJ literally didn't need any of that crap to get over with anyone.
Even the whites were wondering WTF at the time.
Look, ultimately, MJ is a legend and will be remembered for being an extraordinary talent, but let's not pretend he was perfect and that some of his decision making wasn't highly questionable and ultimately crucial (arguably leading to circumstances behind his unfortunate demise). This is what winds me up with some of these disingenuous blinkered fans.
You can be a fan of someone but still remain objective at the same time, there's really nothing wrong with that.
Objective criticism doesn't necessarily mean you're hating on, or that you still don't rate said person overall.
@@Longlostpuss You're mostly right but he wasn't trying to erase his blackness and this was especially hard to understand back then because he kept his life so private. He had vitiligo, lupus, hated his nose for being harassed about it, wore makeup to mask vitiligo and lupus, and wore wigs after losing his hair due to burns and lupus. He wasn't trying to be white, he was having serious issues with his physical and mental health. When you really look at his face though, you can see the only surgical change was his nose.
Long Lost Puss He doesn’t need to explain his health issues or insecurities with the world but yet he was forced too. It’s literally no one’s business. He brought out songs like “black or white” and “they don’t care about us” which are songs against racism. During his huge super bowl show he had two massive BLM flags showing, which by the way no celebrities did back then, it wasn’t a “trend” like it is now to post a black square, he did it knowing they would be some negativity about it but he did it anyways because he was standing up for something he believed in. It was obvious he loved all races but people like to make up things because he was at the top of the world and they wanted to take him down.
skandarkeynes _ skandarians well said.
@Elli Oni That's the PR version of what happened, I have my own theory on the whole thing and nobody is going to change my mind on it.
Michael's legacy is a very contrasting and polarising one and having now grown up, taken the childhood idolisation blinkers off and understand how things work up there, I don't think you should necessarily keep buying into the image he or any Hollywood star tries to portray of one's self, the jury is always out coming from anywhere near that place.
As an artist, I will forever look back at Michael's work with fond memories, but as a black symbol, to me, he fell significantly short of what he could and should have been, which manifested in the tragic way he went out in my opinion.
Nobody and nothing is going to change my mind on that.
As a fan what I loved about MJ was he was a paradox. He courted controversy yet hated it. His mystique can't be matched. Even today he his a mystery. Its all a part of his legend and legacy. He remained relevant in life and still in death. He was a head of his time and timeless.
Love Michael's Bad album so much ! So exciting and all songs on the album are fantastic ! I listen to it all the time !
This Album deserves JUSTICE! They treated this album AWFUL AT THE GRAMMYS THE FOLLOWING YEAR!!!!
Chris Mealer facts the same thing I said but if it was in 1989 category for album of the year at the Grammys it would have beat George Michael faith album
that's when you know that the awards shows are rigged
@@frederickifill3107 George Michael's Faith is a better album 💯!....
Carlos Alomar you must be crazy to say something dumb like that Bad was better than Faith period
@@frederickifill3107 I'm a Michael Jackson fan but Faith is musically a better album & Prince was a better musician than MJ....
This upset me they had no clue he had vitiligo. And they criticized him for which sucks can't criticize someone for skin condition SMH
I don’t blame them...they had no idea that he had it. It would be like if Kanye, at the peak of his career, left the public eye for a sec, then all of a sudden he’s lightskin on the cover of his new album, his nose is smaller, and his style has changed. Isn’t it reasonable to be a little curious on what had happened?
He should have set the record straight from the beginning and make it public that he has vitiligo instead of all that trash talk he got after releasing bad. But maybe he wanted it that way and see how people talk bad about him.
@@JapanPotato but why would a person want to see how people talk bad about them?
@@David-se5ph exactly! Thank you, if Kanye was at the top of his peak and released a big album and then came back with a lighter skin tone they would instantly assume and that's what they did here with Michael. All this assuming and bad talking ultimately led to his downfall spiritually wise
Em bad Michael estar mais bonito que em todos os outros álbuns.
I'm a straight male. But Michael Jackson looked his best during the Bad era. He looked great during the Dangerous era too.
@@eph_loves_80s74 We're all entitled to our opinions. He looked great his entire life to me. But the bad era is when he looked his best in my opinion.

@@analezaone530 Stffffu
Now everybody knows mj had vitiligo.
Hello exactly all though I don’t agree with him changing his nose.
@@hartzaire He was insecure about his looks. Because Joe used to always call him ugly.
@@hartzaire He suffered from lupus! He broke his nose once, and it is hard to recover due to his health conditions. This is why he keep having surgeries on his nose. However, I would not denied that his obsessions is also one of the reason, just it is not the main reason. Hope you would understand more about him and help to spread the truth to people who still make fun of his looks. Thanks ya😉
Zaire hart and it help Michael breath
Still became a hit tho
Prince was also a black man
He wore make up
Hoop earrings and heels
🤔
Wow!! POINTS MENTIONED. LOL!?!
Prince also struggled with this kind of thing. In 1981 he was "too black" for MTV. I wouldn't be surprised if by 1984 he was "too rock" for BET. And you know some random kids on the street would have an issue with his risqué outfits and androgyny. ❤️
This is a michael jackson video
@@michaeljacksonsonic7899 yeah, duh. I think Tina is expressing frustration that Michael seemed to get more questions than Prince about androgyny and black 'authenticity.'
Ephraim Nana Antwi Prince lives in your head RENT FREE 😂😂
I can’t even imagine the sadness & hurt he would’ve felt when people focused on his looks rather than the music he put his blood, sweat & tears into. the world didn’t deserve him, he was an angel
Hearing how people said he wasn’t black anymore is crazy!! . Michael had to crossover internationally & you know skin condition . If michael would’ve stayed that color I highly doubt he would’ve been so huge all over the world . Side note i know thriller was international ( this is about touring in racists countries)
Frl if you watch this one doc from back then it says that there were bomb threats to london bc they were letting Michael perform. smh I'll put the link down once i find it
Jadoree he was already the best selling artist all over the world with thriller he would’ve been the same
It would've been the same...once Victory Tour hit and he had endorsements like PEPSI that truly changed the game. He became bigger than all the other bands then....At that moment he was already there.
So you're basically saying being brown skinned with Afro features is not enough to achieve fame? This is precisely why the black community was turned off by MJ at this time, because effectively he sold his heritage out for fame by eradicating any trace of blackness from his face.
It still amazes me how people still justify this, it's crazy.
During the Bad Era (1987-1990), no one knew he had a skin condition. He never admit he had it until 1993 by then the damage was already done sadly. I think he still would've been a huge star because his albums after thriller did not sale as much. Also, one of the reasons Bad tour did really well was because it was his first tour without his brothers.
"Jackson clutches his crotch so many times in the video you wonder whether the censors thought he had to go to the bathroom" LMFAO

Why does he do that??
@@kellybolton3152 he said that the music makes him do that and that when he watches himself on videos he thinks "oh my god did I really do that?"

@@dustinevans2895 Well, by "they" I mean those in power, the higher authorities in the music industry. The Bad album broke records too and had some amazing videos yet it wasn't nominated for any award.
@@dustinevans2895 Probably because HE was the biggest there was. Reaching that level of super stardom, you will definitely have people to pull you down.

Love u more...Michael...😘😘😘😘😍
I admire that his appearance changed. And he remained gorgeous. Well, each time you play one of his songs, it looks like a new person is performing with the same incredible voice. May be GOD granted him this privilege.
Looking nack now his changing face and complexion contributed to the Jackson BRAND. THE MAN AND HIS UNIQUENESS
at that time some people didn't know that MJ had two skin diseases, he didn't communicate too much about his private life and these personal problems he wasn't like today's artists to reveal everything about his life, but well today we don't have all the info in the world about these health problems and people prefer the craziest theories than real facts.
I LOOOVVVEEE❤ BAD😎!!! I never detected an ounce of femininity in Michael in this era though. And I don't understand other people saying they did because a lot of the pop artists and rock stars at the time - especially men - were wearing makeup at the time. To me, that's an assertion of the confidence they had in their masculinity. 🏋️♂️💪
They criticized Michael's looks in his teenage years, in the Off the Wall era, Thriller era, Bad era, on and on and on. Then everyone wants to look back and have an opinion on when he looked best 🙄. We're all crazy.
He did take a feminine approach during this era, the makeup, swooped edges and curly hair were all feminine, which there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. All humans possess both feminine and masculine traits, usually one more than the other. MJ was able to balance his femininity and his masculinity well. Also back in those days people couldn't grasp the concept that just because a man is more in touch with his feminine side it doesn't determine his sexuality. You have artist like MJ, Prince and David Bowie who were feminine but all of them dated and married some of the most beautiful woman.
@@mariahyohannes I agree! I love masculine and feminine men. They are so attractive.
@@mariahyohannes did you look at Prince?why wasnt he judged thee same way?

Wonder how princes version of bad sounds. They also should combine it so they can break the internet
🎶
After the success of "Thriller" ... something changed. Media began to openly deny "outward appearance" and dropped the music rating. However, the “music by short film” that was enthusiastically worked on caught the hearts of people all over the world. Beyond age, gender and language ... I was fascinated by Michael Jackson's music✨
El cambio fue su fama y que derribo a todos, no podían permitir que un afroamericano superará, había que poner paro, pero ese no llegaba porque el mundo lo amo, entonces; “comencemos a difamarlo con todo y sino funciona, avergoncemos su legado”… pero para su sorpresa, el estandarte de Michael siguió intacto, mucho más con su partida… es hora de volver con lo mismo,para que la gente no olvide y se hizo el documental…. Alguien está detrás de esto, no es el portero de un edificio ni el alguacil, es alguien de mucho pero mucho poder…
It's great! Love the content.. You have truly inspired me to start my own MJ channel
Your channel is cool!🙂
I love your Michael Jackson channel
Your doing great job friend 👍
I have checked your channel!
It's very informative.. Great job🙌
mj bad video short film is friggin AWESOME ..❤️ IT ..& I still watch it today 😜😍
Thank you so much the detail I remember when I asked about this a while back and you guys answered my request thank you
I really didn't care about his appearance at this stage, just the music and how bloody great it was and still is. Even I will admit that by 2000, he was just looking ghoulish and needed to give the plastic surgery away. In 87 I had no idea about his vitiligo, but found out when around 1995 there was an article about it, around the release of HIStory Book 1
What he hasn't done any plastic surgery since the 80s he looked ghoulish due to natural reasons the trial wearied him down
Raziya Hall he did have further surgery but it was because of the lupus so he had no choice but to do it. And the surgery was mostly like reconstructive surgery for the nose and scalp
My response was not to judge him for surgery, but it was just by You Rock my world I was kind of "What the hell" but then got over it and into how funky that song is (I love the Invincible album BTW). I was real angry too when the media milked that mugshot picture in late 2003 as well.
@@Moneytane1976 thought I was the only one who noticed that his mugshot was Photoshoped
Bad is my favorite song of alltime and knew about Michael Jackson on the Bad era when I was a kid. I love the song, the video, the dance moves.
MJ's hairstyle OMG✨
MJ aint never told a lie in his life
I wanted to look like Michael, his hair the power...luved it. His Grit is awesome...
It's all fake.
I wish Michael was still alive. This generation would’ve treated him better and understood him more imo
I clearly remember August 31st 1987! I remember sitting in my front yard all day waiting for the special to come on that evening.
0:24 if you look at MJ’s arm closely you can see a dark spot maybe his vitiligo
I saw it!
This channel presents the idea of how little MJ was as a genius artist on the foundation of critical analysis and biased opinions. It always starts with negativity and then sometimes land on the positive side (at a pointed gun on forehead).
I know right. It's like they do the bare minimum research.
Michael Jackson took the Bad Video to another level. Its a classic of all time.
Michael Jackson’s Bad album made me into a fan.
This story about BAD was awesome. To me it was the best one the detail have done so far keep up the great work and also it is Michael Jackson’s best album period..........Can’t wait for Dirty Diana and Smooth Criminal
Thank you so much for posting a video about my fav MJ song and short film
Rest In Peace, Michael ✨
I love the bad video's choreography and the bad era in general.
I love how he looks in that video.
Indeed that jacket is my favorite and those pants with the red side string
I like the fact he's wears a jacket similar a Marlon Brando's iconic 50's looks but he adds a certain androgenous vibes in it, and still, he makes a aggressive,fierce pose credible. The results final it is sexy.
His vocals are perfect too
My young niece loves Michael's Bad costume! She says "Wow Michael Jackson looks so cool" He never forgot where he came from and he was always a black man. He had vitiligo.
When I see Michael I am sad ! Michael was a legend ! The king 👑 of the Pop! 👍👏👏👏😍🤗♥️💓🎶🎵👑
I’m only 14 but he’s one of my favorite singers ever
with great pleasure I watch all your videos about MICHAEL. Thank you so much
8:21-Michael was always way ahead of his time.
The BAD-music video made me a Jackson-Fan until this day. It`s still my favorite video of MJ.
I wanted this so much!!! Thank you very much for this video!!!
Bad is my favorite era.....probably only cuz we still haven’t seen all of the thriller era. I used to feel that Bad Tour was his best era. After watching the different Dangerous shows, I have to say Dangerous tour was the best show.
What was funny is the owner in that boutique,where Michael purchased his clothes- He had to mention that his teenage customers said that he sold out. I never knew where Michael got the idea for the look. So I was glad to hear he was open to fashion. Plus shining a light on that boutique.
Bad is my favorite mj album. His voice and the music were just on point
MJ is the 🐐
King of pop
Never forgotten...

Greatest Entertainer of all time
Not even close.
I'm only 41 years old. I was 5 years old in 1987 when "Bad" premiered on TV. Even though I was only 5, I remember it premiered on K-CBS local TV in Los Angeles not just on MTV or cable. It was available to watch for free through CBS TV if your TV had an antenna. There were commercials FOR the music video during commercial breaks on every TV show on CBS leading up to its September premiere. It was even announced on the local news. "Stay tuned for Michael Jackson's BAD, the music video, premiering September at 8 p.m. here on CBS". The video itself was almost 20 minutes long and it had dialogue between Welsey Snipes and Michael and a whole boarding school segment before the song started. It was a whole little mini-movie. I haven't seen the video in over 30 years and remember all of that about it.
Bad era was so good! People back then didn't know what they had, smh.
The "your butt is mine" with prince kills me every time
michaels face wasnt "sculpted" you can clearly see that if you compare older pictures and because of the (already very advanced) vitiligo he opted for a lighter makeup shade.
We've compared.
Nose? Sculpted.
Chin? Sculpted. 👋
@@crnkmnky nose okay, but chin only the cleft and the rest basically stayed identical. also some facelifts but he didnt overdo it as much as many others in the show business
Very good king of pop
Love Michael Jackson
👏💜👍❤💝👍💝💜
Yah... I'd be so confused by a station platform named after MJ... I'd be spinning around in circles, bumping into walls and be all 2 and 8's 🙄
Spinning, bumping, 2 and 8's? Those sound like dance moves. 🕺
But seriously, it _is_ confusing and expensive to re-print every single sign, schedule, and document referring to a train station. They should have put a plaque somewhere though.
@@crnkmnky if I had a budget to blow I'd pay the council to re named my street Jackson Street. Hell, if I win the lotto our gaff will be called Michael Jackson heights and I'll rename the train station and local community centres while I'm at it 🙈🙉🙊 no expense spared.
Seriously though, I get it, but the posterity would have been a lovely memorial. I'm glad it was considered even if it wasn't feasible.
@@crnkmnky PAID TROLL GO AWAY..
The Bad Album is Michael Jackson’s best album period I know people will say Thriller is but if you compare both albums and really listen to both Bad is better....Michael out did himself with Bad and I hope he was proud of his work
Big ups to Jeffrey Daniel who taught Michael how to Moonwalk, it was previously named the "backslide" It's funny how Jeffrey's ex-wife Stephanie Mills was Michael's first girlfriend. I think that Michael had to endure a lot in the industry that we're not aware of. Whatever the case, I love you Michael!
Yes that's true. 🌍
Меня сводит с ума красота Майкла Джексона в этом клипе! Он всегда был и есть красивым, но здесь просто ВВВАААУУУ 😍 Очень люблю Майкла, такого как он больше никогда не будет ❤
It’s funny to me how nobody knew what that man was actually going through behind closed doors. He shouldn’t have to explain himself to anyone for any reason. He lost his hair and he had a skin disease 🤦🏾♀️ and he was publicly shamed for it. It was hard to hear some of things that they called him or assumed that he had done when I was growing up.
I know, it breaks my heart 💔. The media treated poor Michael like shit.
I had loved this album his style his new look and hated the critics. Michael did not deserve the constant hate that came his way. Not sure if all the haters and critics can be honest with themselves
I really wish I could just see him again even if it's in my dreams he's a dreamer I'm a dreamer
Michael and Prince
You gotta love these two...they are two completely different people...and can't be compared
He looks amazing in the bad ERA
What's amazing to me is that dumb fucking music critics that nobody care about anymore were STILL criticising MJ back then too and talking about his looks instead of his art. Nothing changes, those people are probably dead and nobodies - and MJ remains the greatest entertainer that ever lived. Bas was the album that musically awoke me, my 1st ever album, and I can still recall the shockwaves it sent through my system - it was (and remains) a near-perfect album. As for the videos? Bad, Smooth Criminal, The Way you make me feel, Man in the Mirror and Liberian Girl remain some of the best videos ever made. Period. We love you Michael, thank you for making a masterpiece that's still unmatched in so many ways to this day.
That was a great video. Thanks for putting that together; it was probably more detailed than even the Bad 25 documentary. Title tracks need a proper exposition because they set the tone for the whole album. It’s just a shame we never got one for “Dangerous” and “HIStory”.
That’s why we are here!
Fun fact, MJ first album officially released in China is Bad, the translation is "“真棒”. It means "Great" in Chinese. That translation capture the spirit of the song.
Like, my whole response to all those accusations has always been: come on, you knew he was bad. really, really bad. the whole world knows. so answer right now. do we have to tell you again? whos bad?
😾😆 🤔😆 😕😆 🤷😆
Su autenticidad y esencia va mas alla de su apariencia, muchos se perdieron de ese gran humano al ponerle etiquetas, hizo tanto por este mundo y pudo haber hecho aún más si su luz no la fuesen apagado
I thank you so much. Your channel has been honest! I am so glad, that youv'e taking your time and researched the truth! I look forward to your videos because, when i feel that i know it or heard it all, your videos set me straight!
This channel is bogus. It's full of half truths and lies. They're also always sneaking in ways to put Michael down. I don't trust these people. I wonder where they got the high quality Bad video clip however. There is big money at work here and it's not in Michael's favor. I sense a hidden agenda other than just money.
I had no issues with his look. When I got the bad album I was freaking stoked to see mj again.
He was handsome ! Looked great in Bad!
wow....... i love him so much 🥺
Bad was one of the most iconic videos of all time and his outfit is the inspiration for rock stars and bikers
Wish you happy birthday micheal
I love this content, amazing
My first of 4 different MJ world 🌍 tours that I went to all at Wembley stadium 🏟 & my good god was he on another planet 🌍
In-fact Princess 👸🏼 Diana was at this show I was 15 and it blow my mind,so talented something I really do miss nowadays.
