I'm a big fan of "Just good friends"..

...love that chorus and production.....though the other MJ/Stevie wonder duet "Get it" was better though.....Michael sounds great on that track.....maybe if a video 4 "Get it" was made then the single wouldn't of been such a bomb.....anyway "Just good friends" beats the hell out of "The girl is mine" and by far the worst track on "Bad" is "Liberian girl".....maybe Mike can write good ballads ("I just cant stop loving u" is a good example) but that track was pretty poor 4 him!

nod

you cant find the speed demon on any hits DVDs. because as far as I know it was never released as a video. was just a part of moonwalker.

so you can find it on moonwalker videos or moonwalker OFFICIAL dvd. released only in italy includes intalian and english language.

it used to be available on wwww.dvdgo.com (the label that released it). I bought mine from an italian folk at ebay.

I think it's a decent song until it gets to the hook--"SPEED DEMON!!"

"Demon" just doesn't fit in. It sounds so forced.

"Speed Freak" or any other word with only one syllable would've worked so much better in my humble opinion.

People seem to like all his Quincy produced albums but my favorite is Dangerous. It was his most deepest and creative work.
I love "Will you be there," and "heal the world." Then he has great dance tunes like "Jam" "Remember the time." Then "Black or White," a dance song with Slash on guitar sending out an important message breaking down the color lines.

Oh I love Dangerous! My favourites are Who is it and She drives me wild!!!! YES!!

The track itself sounds more like an afterthought - it's definate filler in my opinion.

However, Liberian Girl... THAT'S cool. It just sounds increadible - maybe it was the *monster cable* big grin

He's always had great production on his albums, and at least one song on every album that just sounds SO fantastic it leaps off the record at you.

The following in particular I nominate as standout tracks for their production alone:

'P.Y.T'

'Liberian Girl'

'Who Is It'

'Scream'

'They Don't Care About Us'

'Blood On The Dance Floor'

this proves he's also a great producer. songs like morphine, stranger in moscow, they dont care about us, who is it etc sound more modern than the music of today.
