Black or White

I have been listening to this song alot lately and I gotta say that musically it has to be one of the best songs ever recorded. I know this will probably be locked, but I just want to show appreciation for a great song rose and the video is great too with a wonderful message.

it was the only song of Jackson, which I loved as a child. Now, I love the dozens of his songs, but I do not much like Black or White, I think I grew out it.
But a great video. One of the best clips from the 90s wink

Ohhh, I forgot to add: Dance Panthers at the end of the clip - it is, IMHO, the most complicated choreography, performed by singer in music video EVER!! Period!

I love Black or White, but I find myself skipping it on Dangerous often too, cause I liked it years before becoming a crazy fan, it was everywhere and I loved the video, but Who Is It kicks it to the curb!

The worst song ever to flow from one of the greatest voices of our generation.Corny is the first thing that comes to mind and it only gets worse when it gets to the "rap" part.

From the first J5 album through Thriller I was onboard every song written and sung by MJ and his brothers. But when I heard Black and White as the lead single for Dangerous I knew then that things had changed. Not to start anything with the MJ fanatics but I would not even have an opinion at all in regards to that song if MJ hadn't performed it.

I hardly ever listen to this song. I guess it has been overplayed, but I gotta say it is the best song for concerts.

I'm not going crazy on this song as well, but music in general and a great guitar solo make this song is far from bad.
Do you really ... I mean REALLY think Black or White - worst song from MJ?
Then you probably never heard Invincible (album) ... lol 80% of his worst songs collected on this album.

The worst song to have been a hit. I am obviously excluding the Michael album. I did not expect anything from Invincible either. Music had changed so much for any of the classic superstars to make an impact. Also Dangerous had production from Jam and Lewis and Teddy Riley. So to get Black and White as a lead off single....yeah, corny is the first thing that comes to mind.

You are not alone - the worst hit songs from MJ ever!!
A video made ​​everything even worse .... lol
It is surprising that this song was the first song in the history of Billboard, which debuted at once in the first place ..

I have always LOVED this song from the first time I heard it on the radio when I was 12 years old. I stilll adore the video. Its just apart of my childhood. Black Or White and Billie Jean are his longest running #1 singles in his career. This song was a MEGA HIT out the gate!

It's hard to swallow a song about "don't matter if my baby is Black or White" whilst he's bleaching his skin and having little white surrogate babies. It obviously mattered if it was Black or White

You naysayers are fucking idiots.

hmph!

BOW is a great song about racial equality and harmony. You wanna turn this into something else, exit stage left.

talk to the hand

YANA is a great song....sans the video. Seriously...that video is cringeworthy. It could've been better.
