written by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett One of Michael's most memorable singles Written in late 1986 when Quincy and Michael felt the album needed an anthem with a positve message. At the time, Quincy's publishing company so one Thursday, he had some of the writers come over to his house to discuss the concept. That following Sunday, Siedah Garrett, who worked with Ballard, stopped by his house with the song. The song was written in 2 hours 
The first short film, which didn't feature Michael, blended clips of current clips of the 1980s along with clips of historic figures 
The second version, featured on the 1988 movie "Moonwalker". blends clips of various performances on the Bad Tour Performed on the 1988 Grammy Awards with the Andrae Crouch choir. Also performed on the 1988-89 legs of the Bad World Tour Since THIS song was used during the taping of Celebrity Big Brother 2007, was the single ever re-release in the UK?

BAD 20 PART NINE
LEAVE ME ALONE 
written by Michael Jackson. 
Originally included as a the bonus track on the CD release of Bad in August 1987. 
Released as the eighth single from the album, charting at #2 in the UK, not released in the U.S. 
Shot in mid 1987 along with "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Smooth Criminal", "BAD", and "Speed Demon", the animated short film was directed by Jim Blashfield and Paul Diener, was first released as part of Michael's 1988 film, "Moonwalker." 
The video was a sarcastic look at the stories written about Michael in the tabloids such as his bidding on the bones of the Elephant Man and marriage proposal and personal shrine to longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor. 
"I worked hard on the song, sticking vocals on top of each other like layers of clouds," said Michael "I'm sending a simple message here: Leave me alone! The song is about a relationship between a guy and a girl, but what I'm really saying to people who are bothering me is leave me alone." 
won the 1990 Grammy award for Best Music Video-Short Form UK-#2, #15 in 2006 Australia-#37 Austria-#20 Belgium-#3 Denmark-#6 Finland-#5 France-#17 Germany-#16 Holland-#5 Ireland-#1 Italy-#11 Japan-? New Zealand-#9 Norway-#6 South Africa-? Spain-#5, #1 in 2006 Sweden-#19 Switzerland-#10 "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

These pics are bittersweet in so many ways. It is one of the last times I can remember him being so human and relatively normal (before the KOP stuff from the 1990's and onward). Excellent photos of Michael at his commercial best. BTW: In the last photo, aren't those the LA GEars shoes MJ used to endorse? Weren't they called Billie's or something like that? "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

Here is a funny little tidbit:
Sheryl Crow once said on a late night TV show that during the Bad Tour, she would bet with the musicians that she could give Michael a hard-on during their performances. Well, she made it happen  "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |
