Still, he proved that you could shift singles without the aid of video. He did the same again with the debut single from Bad. No video for that, either. I dare him to try it again.  | |

YES, there was a video for the debut single "Bad" from the album Bad. In fact, there was a full-length "short film" and it premiered on MTV and other channels at the same time. The shorter version was in HEAVY rotation on EVERY video channel. | |

"Bad" wasn't the debut single from Bad, "Bad" was the second single. The first release was "I Just Can't Stop Lovin' You". "Bad" came next. I'm not even a big MJ fan and I know that. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Cloudbuster said: DavidEye said: that's correct Mad, isn't it. To think there were five singles released from Thriller in just one year (1983) plus Say Say Say with Paul McCartney and they all made the US top 10. Then of course, there was The Girl Is Mine in late '82 and Thriller in early '84. A total of eight top 10 hits in less than eighteen months. Astounding. It's no wonder he's still hated by so many. That amount of saturation can't be good for anybody. I wouldn't say "Human Nature" was over-played. "Human Nature" was my fav song from the album. The first time I ever heard that song was on a car radio, I didn't even realize it was MJ singing. All I know I heard that song and I thought I had died and gone to heaven... | |

I am a HUGE MJ fan, and I completely forgot that IJCSLY was the debut single. Thanks. | |

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I didn't get hip to LOML until about 5 years ago. I never gave it a second thought till then...But "I Can't Help It" might just be my favorite MJ vocal of all time! Butterflies has a similar feel, which is why my ears perked up when I heard that as well. Made me renew my faith in MJ.

 I wonder why? I loved songs such as "Butterflies", "Break of Dawn", "Heaven Can Wait","Lady In My Life" BEFORE the false allegations and the fact that he stood strong and fought that crap and WON, makes me love to hear him sing the songs even more. I read a post where a person said that they couldn't stop thinking of CHILDREN when they hear these songs. My response is WTF? How can any normal person think of children when they hear those songs? Some people are really,really sick if that is what comes to their minds when they hear MJ sing those songs. That would be the LAST thing that I would think of. Of course, if a person is sick enough to ALREADY have those thoughts, then it wouldn't matter who was singing or what they were singing. To quote classic Ronald Isley, "Say it, say it, sayit, sayit, sayit..." [Edited 8/2/06 21:36pm] Michael never stopped! | |
