Liberian Girl is gorgeous. I'd love to see that sung live. He did for one Bad tour concert when he broke into it and wished Liz Taylor Happy Birthday.

I respectfully disagree. I think I Just Can't Stop Loving You is one of the few genuine highlights on Bad.



It's an okay song,but it's not a highlight."Liberian Girl" is a much better song.

Nahh, The Girl is Mine blows.

"The dog gone girl is mine" barf

It feels SO self aware of its innocence and cuteness. Can't stand it.

MJ + Paul = bad songs

But even this song was somewhat influential.A few years after it came out,two female vocalists that I can't recall (Linda Ronstadt and Tammy Wynette? Kim Carnes and Barbara Mandrill? It was somebody like that) recorded a duet where they were fighting over the same man.And of course,in 1998,Brandy and Monica recorded "The Boy Is Mine".


Right, but influence doesn't concern me.

I care that it's Disney sounding ear poison to my ears.

"ear poison"? Come on...it's totally harmless...just a breezy pop song.I would take that song over ANYTHING that is currently in the Top 40 right now.

I just can't stand it. It's so corny and lame.

I'd take it over just about anything in the top 40 too, but that's not a compliment.

Never heard 'The Man'... hmmm

I'd DEFINITELY go with 'Say, Say, Say'. Even if the production is a little dated, anything's better than 'The Girl Is Mine'. barf

"The Girl Is Mine"? "The Lady in My Life"?

I agree with all of your other points, though. nod


I'd take The Lady In My Life over Thriller, Baby Be Mine and P.Y.T. in a heartbeat. The Girl Is Mine ain't so great, tho'. I'll grant you that. smile


Are you the blonde one? smile


More than likely I'd be the one falling. lol

confused

I was just in Virgin Megastore out at ONTARIO MILLS tonight and they were playing a MJ concert DVD. Maybe it was pre-BAD but the stuff on that thang was bangin'! All the flatscreens were jammin' it! Folks was all stoppin' and lookin' up!

Mike went weird sometime after the release of BAD. Betta recognize he was a bad mofo!

Oh, I must've counted off a bunch of songs from OFF THE WALLand THRILLER than copped some Rick James' grooves. No really nothin' new cuz Q says he told Lois Johnson to cop "Give To Me" for Thriller. but "Workin' Day & Night" had me hummin' "Ghetto Life".

The only commercially released concert other than Dangerous Bucharest is the 1975 Mexico concert from J5 on VHS sometime in the early 80s lol I have it, but it's rather rare. Anything else is a bootleg, so I don't see how a Virgin Megastore would be playing it on their screens.
