  • Could someone put subtitles on this video? Unfortunately I don't speak English so good ,I'm Italian

  • if they just changed the drums sounds it would be better

  • I personally think that Street walker should have replaced another part of me

  • To be honest i'm getting pretty sick of seeing people put the Thriller album on a pedestal and not only treating it like it was MJ's best album but his only album. MJ may not have topped Thriller in sales but artisticly i think he topped it years ago. Bad, Dangerous and HIStory are better albums than Thriller in my opinion.

    1. Bad

    2. Dangerous

    3. HIStory/Blood On The Dance Floor

    4. Off The Wall/Thriller

    5. Invincible

  • @wannablikeu SAY WHAT BAD WAS A DISSAPOINTMENT U SIR DNT KNOW SHIT ABT MUSIC BAD IS 1 OF THE BEST ALBUMS I HVE EVER LISTENED 2 AND MIKE WRITING SKILLS SHINED DEN AGAIN U THINK THRILLER HAD HIP HOP NW DERES A FACT U DNT SHIT ABT MUSIC!!!

  • Damn I wish that Streetwalker had been on it. I love that song!

  • dangerous is my fav right next to bad. u know before dnagerous came out 300 copies were stolen. thts how much antcipated dangerous was. but bad was awsome. i loved it. especially the duet with him and stevie wonder wonder why tht wasn't a single it wiuld have done well

  • It's funny to hear Quincy sing "Your butt is mine!" hahaha

  • Everyone is comparing Bad to theThriller Album. Me personally I love all of Michaels Albums. Each album is unique in it's own way. Off the Wall Paved a new direction for MIchael in his career. Off the Wall showed a more mature Michael and also showed a different range in his vocal ability. Off the Wall started the ball rolling for this music Icon. Miss you MJ.

  • well my favorite album from michael is bad and.. all his albums are amazing but bad is the best

  • yes and streetwalker becam dangerous on the dangerous album...wich is super

  • bad is my fav album and it was better then thriller but didnt get the praise?

  • BabiiShanice, thank you for sharing this on youtube!

    BTW, could someone write down the TRANSCRIPT of this?? As English is not my native tongue, it's hard for me to pick up some of Q's words, especially when he bursts into laughter... I never got how APOM was chosen ahead of Streetwalker. I understand MJ wanted Streetwalker but Quincy liked APOM better. And then what happened? Was that Frank Dileo's choice? And how did he choose?

    Pls someone help me understand that part of the interview.

  • I actualy think I like streetwalker more than another part of me.

  • I wished they would have allowed that song, it has so much flare, specially the (I never met a girl just like you...) part, and the harmonica, the guitar playing in the end, and the background vocals and lyrics. The whole song makes you wanna dance. When i walked from Pasadena City College back home (2 hrs) I walked at night dancing to "Streetwalker" what a great name.

  • yeah I love the song Streetwalker... the composition was spectacular.,

  • "Thriller" album will ALWAYS be the GREATEST! but I also LOVE "BAD" Very Much... BOTH of these are TWO TOP Biggest Sellers! I Honestly Love them BOTH the SAME! But Damn "Dirty Diana" "Smooth Criminal" "Wanna be startin somethin" "Beat it" (Just to name a few) are  all SEXY UNIQUE songs MJ WROTE! Michael is a MUSICAL GENIUS!

    and forever The KING!

  • Well in ALL My Favorite Album is (DANGEROUS) I Feel that one Really took More risks than "BAD" and it also sold More Copies! and the Concerts for (DANGEROUS) got Bigger! All my Fave. songs are in there like "Black or white" "Who is it" "Give into me" "Dangerous" "Jam" "Gone Too soon" "Will you be there" "Heal The World" "Remember the Time" etc.. I Just Love that album!

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah and (DANGEROUS) Album already had Copies Missing

    and sold way Faster than (BAD) Album in the FIRST WEEK of Release, the song "Who is it" is considered the 90s Version of "Billie Jean" and (DANGEROUS) is most successful New Jack Swing album of All Time! and Yes, Dangerous is the 17th. BEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME! and BAD is the 27th. BEST SELLING! and so on.. but Thriller is #1 and yea Dangerous Tour is So MAGICAL :)

  • I love Gone too soon, black or white, who is it, will you be there, in the closet.

  • Streetwalker is one of my favorite songs. I think he could have worked on it a little more, and it would have been a major hit, i mean already like this was a amazingly great song, and i think it is original and that harmonica solo was kick ass. This was a man with pure genius talent in his blood. Michael wrote, and arranged in BAD such amazing masterpieces, and could have tossed Thriller as his second best album, but people critic him in his looks not his genius talents.

  • I love the album bad but I dont think it would have been bigger than album Thriller... I mean it was over already Thriller did the revolutionizing already... but I think BAd and THRILLER are equally as good, its just that Thriller came first and it was this album that first revolutionized everything. But human nature, startin something, are GREAT.

  • You have a point, but it could have been equally or just one foot down Thriller, or like i said more successful because over all as a Record Michael Jackson worked more on this on his own, 1 song "Man in the Mirror" was the one he did not write, everything else in the record he composed, arranged and again like in Thriller sampled at home using a Piano, drums and guitar. (sounded a bit untuned), I mean, Bad as a whole record had more power. I lobe Thriller's PYT and Human nature 2.

  • We cant forget Michael wrote arranged composed 4 out of the 7 hits ON THRILLER.. I think BAD is a spectacular album and I agree it should have remained the SECOND BEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME After Thriller....

    I mean Thriller bought us the videos first and the moonwalk first... and the revolutionizing beats and lyrics.... but BAD has equally good songs...

    But I Think Impact wise Thriller is #1 and BAD is a real close #2.

  • on no, I am not, I know MJ composed, arranged, and wrote, and Sampled at home Billie Jean, Beat It, PYT, and Wanna be starting something. Amazingly done.. actually he composed and arranged 6 of the songs, and wrote 4 by himself. Mainly the bigger hits were his The song Thriller was an idea MJ had, but since he was a Jehovah Witness he had someone else write the concept an idea. So in his own way he wrote that song like a story board, he co directed those Music videos and the choreo- was amazing

  • I love another part of me

  • Ok Yes michael wrote More songs on the Bad album than the thriller Album the fifth song PYT is origanally Michael's composing and the beats was good but Mr. QJones wanted to make PYT and uptempo version and Michael Jackson is the Arthor and the King of Pop the songs wanna b startin something, The Girl is mine, Beat it Billie jean, and PYT demo version. The BAD album BAD

  • I actually like Bad more than Thriller. Though Thriller had a variety of genres, I like the faster, tougher sounding songs of Bad.

  • yeah thriller was amazing :)

    i dunno why people still criticise the Bad album though. To be honest its my favourite album :)

  • i disagree because bad had michael to write more songs and the music was more upbeat, a different kind of sound, and took a risk. yeah it didn't out sell thriller but it was still one of the best. thriller is the shit but i prefer bad always.

  • 'each to their own'

    as the saying goes :)

    i think i prefer bad to all of his albums because i grew up watching moonwalker - the movie and that contained his music from the 'bad' era

    my favourite song is also smooth criminal

    and i was obsessed with the music video in the film :)

    i suppose it was this part of his career that i was more addicted to.

  • @BabiiShanice yeah same here

  • You sir "wannablikeu"

    are an idiot..

    Bad is the best album next to Thriller...

  • Oh any one who disagrees with FeaRxMaGiq, is an "idiot".

    Since when did the world revolve around you?

  • @wannablikeu

    I agree. Although I believe Bad is a better album than Thriller, Thriller, and those albums that prededed it, are better sounding. With Bad it seemed like instead of playing with actual musicians, they spent most of their time at the sound machine. Still, Bad is my fav song and album.

  • @wannablikeu Bad album includes more hard funk (bad, smooth criminal) and hard rock (dirty diana)

    thriller album doesn't include specifically pop or hip hop

    thriller album contains hard funk (billie jean , thriller, p.y.t) , hard rock (beat it), smoother soul (baby mine) and softer ballads (the girl is mine, human nature)

    thriller as a whole album may be considered a rock album or a pop album (popular music album), but rock is a better description

  • @boyxdance if you think beat it is hard rock and billy jean/thriller/pyt is hard funk and that the album wasn't pop in it's time...then wow..Bad IS too synthetic sounding, not "open" enough to be more than superficially satisfying. Prolly has more to do with that time in MJ's life than a direct critique of him or the album. I actually do quite like the "sledgehammer" sound of speed demon, for instance, but do feel that the album could've used a bit more warmth...like maybe that duet with Prince?

  • @luv2tha69s bad album just represents the modern sound of the late 1980s, i dont think that the album was too synthetic, like you say; for example the hard funk songs "bad" and "smooth criminal" used bass and guitar

    thriller as a whole album may be considered a rock album or a pop album (popular music album), but rock is a better description, because rock is a broad genre that includes the black rock (soul, funk, etc) and the white rock (hard rock)

    A duet with prince was not neccesary

  • Same here. The Bad album was just as popular as Thriller wasn't it?

  • It could have be bigger than Thriller, but people saw michael jackson as a crazy guy and critized him on his looks rather on his god given talent. true Beat it, billie Jean, and Thriller were his highlight prime song, but as a record Bad had better son. Bad, They way you make me feel, Smooth Criminal, Leave Me alone, Dirty diana, Man in the Mirror, Liberian Girl, and Speed Demon. More powerful songs than Thriller had besides the hits.

  • @squallthegriever

    Yeah, love a lot more songs on the Bad albulm (basically the whole album) than on the Thriller album.

  • Yeah, of course though Billie Jean, Beat It, and Thriller were his highlight musical artwork and he never could really top that. As a record though Bad is the best album of all time for me, he could have out sold Thriller easily, but again... because of his illnesses people saw him as a freak and people forgot what he did, he co wrote "We are the world" he gave 300 million dollars to children.. but when he needed help those same fans gave him their backs and well yeah. I love STREEWALKER!

  • @squallthegriever

    Yes, sadly you can thank the American media for that.

  • sadly...i am american... but.. i do believe his bad luck was due to someone. He never had vitiligo, until Thriller was becoming famous, look at the video Thriller he has it in his neck already. His hair of fire, child molestation acts, etc. All bad luck... or set up lol

  • @squallthegriever

    I'm American too.

  • .....Many times i am in shame to be from this country.. I will go listen to Utada Hikaru and pretend i am Japan... or maybe some Paulina Rubio...

  • @squallthegriever

    Listen to TM Revolution! :D

  • mine too y do thay criticise it

  • @wannablikeu First of all YOU make think that Bad was a disappointment but just because it did not sell as much as Thriller did does NOT make it a disappointment. numbers or not Bad is NOT a disappointment at all.

  • once again people are just making up lies about michael. prince albums haven't touch michael or went past michael. yeah bad didn't out sold thriller but who cares? people still played his songs and his singles went number 1, 5 of them. no other artists have 5 number 1 hits on one album. michael did it. quincy said it himself that he wrote most of his songs and the songs didn't make it to the album. just stop it people. it doesn't change the fact that michael is the greatest.

  • LOL when did you do a poll on everyone that owns the thriller album & came out with the figure of 90% didn't think it was the greatest album? :/

    Anyway that isnt even the discussion, the discussion is that MJ's achieved MORE than Prince.

    Oh & by the way, saying what you THINK doesnt make you right. Saying that all your friends prefer Prince & have a good taste in music is YOUR OPINION in my eyes id say they dont have good taste if they prefer Prince, but thats MY OPINION!

  • well so did michael. he changed way more than prince and everybody knows it!! and who cares what miles says? he doesn't decide whether or not who's more talented but they both are but michael always stood out more. playing instruments doesn't necessarily makes you a musician. michael saw music as art and expressed it in his music, if you know anything about art. thriller sold way more than all of prince's albums and can't come close to it. not even michael's other albums.

  • MJ is very influential in every genre of music, dance, music videos etc. Prince 2nd to MJ FUCKING EXCEPT FAGGOT

  • and how do you know 90% of people don't like thriller? did you talk to them? just because you're retarded friends think prince's album are better doesn't mean everyone thinks that way. michael is a musician and people saw him that and was very influential with his music so i don't know where you think he wasn't. at the end of the day all you is say shit that you think are facts when you're talking out of your ass!! michael beats prince dumbass!! deal with it.

  • wow really? 90% U're a fucking dumbass liar. u have no friends. U cannot tell me that ever prince he released are good. Thriller is better then any Prince albums. MJ is MUSIC u're a fucking lame ass RETARD!!!!. U ARE SOOO FUCKING STUPID.

  • off the wall, bad, and dangerous were better than prince's albums. to him to say that shows how really stupid he is. but too bad he's blocked from her page. actually it's a good thing. lol.

  • haha thats good. that guy is an idiot. he said he toured with MJ but why would u tour with somebody u don't like? right

  • toured? my ass! please if that's the case prince is my makeup artist! hahahaha!! dude is just a hater, him and rambod.

  • @giugnhgbvinierngvb89 Just shut up and just because your brain-dead friends think that Prince is better does not mean that other people think the same thing Michael Jackson IS BETTER than prince in everyway concert earnings,performances,and everything else.prince is okay but Michael Jackson is just better regardless.and selling kind of does matter because it seems that Michael Jackson's Bad just had more promotion and sold more sorry to burst your bubble.

  • @giugnhgbvinierngvb89 If Thriller was not the best then how come it is the BEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME and not one of Prince's albums are not.What you say is an OPINION NOT A FACT!Thriller is better in everyway so just stop ranting and get that through your head that Thriller is the best(110 MILLION ALBUMS)and just like BabiiShanice said MJ has achieved WAY MORE than Prince he's been around longer even, but I do like Prince some what but I just feel and know for a FACT that MJ is better.

  • Comment removed

  • MJ loved Prince and he wanted thriller to sound like prince but not as edgy. also MJ stole billie jean from a hall and oates song. bass and drumline. good that MJ said sorry to them at the we are the world song recordings.

  • sign of the times by prince was the best album of the 80s. prince never needed MJ. MJ asked 3 times to record together. Last time was 2 years ago. Prince music is deep and MJ's stupid "ur butt is mine...u know im bad.." was like an insult to prince. besides prince makes music with real instruments and jacko uses huge production. impossible to work togethere. different worlds. MJ was mickey mouse and prince is fucking Dalí.

  • yeah prince's album was better than MJ's 80's albums.....

    since when?

    come back when he matchs the 110 million (and still counting) copies MJ sold + thats only from thriller.

    + how is MJ's music stupid? ever heard of heal the world, or we are the world or even black or white.

    you have serious issue if you just dedicate your life hating MJ, seriously man go see someone about it :/

  • dude, SELLING does not equal to being better. i cannot believe ur so dumb. britney spears and eminem sold more than MJ in the 90s. madonna sold more than james brown or miles davis. does that make her better than miles davis?????????

    prince albums are musically far better. period.

  • im the one thats dumb?!

    well at least i arent small minded

    your bare stupid for saying he didn't produce any worthy songs

    MJ was the one who broke racial barriers in music, MJ was the one who cared about the world, MJ was the one who was devoted to more charities than any other star, MJ was the one with the record for having 13 singles at the same time in the UK top 40 charts next to Elvis' shameful 7 - what has prince done, dont get me wrong i like him but MJ is the King, The Genius.

  • @giugnhgbvinierngvb89 im not a hater .i likle prince. but he was too much sex. thts why mj had more kids fans. his music was like for all ages. prince is ok. but u can stick to ur opinion. and mj was the fisrt balck on mtv. and if prince sold more than why did mj get 8 grammys in 1984 for thriller and not prince's 1999?

  • Thriller was the best album in 80 and u're an idiot

  • lies, lies, lies!! when will ever get it? michael never asked prince for bad or we are the world, that was quincy's idea. michael never needed prince at all and his albums are nothing compared to michael. the only reason why prince didn't work with michael because deep down he knew michael was a better dancer than him and would beat his ass. michael is a real musician as well and doesn't need to play instruments to be one. michael was ghandi while prince was kanye, a cocky bastard!!

  • @giugnhgbvinierngvb89 ur reasons are opin iopns. thriller is the best selling albbum of all time. tht is a fact. hwo cares whta ur friends think. shouldn't u be sucking on ur moms tit. wait thts what u were doing when thriller came out

  • You know they stole the Bad logo from Prince Party up logo, same font, same color even same position.

  • I guess I won this one!

  • Won? nigga u didn't say anything

  • Nice way to say it QJ, but it was so obvious that they need it Prince to give the album some credibility, the only reason they got nominated for the Gramys was becasue QJ was the producer of the show. Ironicly Prince was nominated at the same time, with no publicity stunts or million $ videos

    Prince was on his pic moment with the most aclaimed album that year, "SIgn O The Times". Once again, MJ was overshadow by Prince greatness, "Bad" was the better seller but din't got any respect from anyone

  • I agree with u, Quincy J dream was to work with Prince, he even took the 1999 album to the Thriller sessions, I guess this haunted MJ even more, he was on the shadows of Prince even on the eyes of his producer and mentor.

    In 2008 MJ asked Prince to help him comeback, he even chased him during his private shows, Janet and Latoya din't wanna work with MJ because he was unexperienced in the studio, they asked Prince several times too

    I think Prince is really classy to never say a word about it.

  • Really? There's a video of MJ talking about how he creates music. Paul McCartney knew MJ was very experience in the studio.Janet and Letoya has worked with MJ b4

  • Come on, Quincy admited, they just went after the drama, for them music is a product!

  • yea MJ's music is called TIMELESS not Prince

  • Well I din't hear a MJ song on the radio since 1992, Prince music it's always playing in all kinds of radio stations.

  • wow really? MJ's music gets played like its new. Every year, mixes, birthdays, halloween. MJ is the only english artist that got heavy rotation on a spanish radio station. U can hear Mj's music in places u're never believe to hear.

  • @powersoulboy really. cause after his kids appeared on the grammy's i heard you are not alone on te radio. and one day i heard 3 of his songs. unless i wass in 1992

  • Bad is a really bad album, don't you think so?

  • wow nice one. very clever. that explains alot. SMDH.

  • Comment removed

  • "Mike actually wrote "The Way You Make Me Feel" for his mom"

    Wow, that make the song even more creepier, I think MJ had a incest instinc, like that video were he put his sister Latoya as his lover, the guy was weird.

    Funny how Qj talks about MJ like if he was a product, not an artist.

  • U see with BS comments like that why u get comments. U cannot stop bashing MJ

  • Sorry , you are right, let's start again.

  • the lyrics weren't created for him mum, the bassline was, she wanted him to do 'a shuufling rhythm' which created the bassline - not the lyrics...

  • what??????

    anyway, bilie jean was a stolen song and BAD was made thinking about prince.

  • , no offence but i seriously dont know where you get ya information from. the song was made to do a duet with prince. but the song was about getting a good education and not following the rough crowd. By saying that he is bad (in other words good) he meant that he was the one getting the education and not doing crime and that he was going to get more out life. none of this was directed at prince.

    and secondly how can billie jean be a stolen song when it was about his own real life events.

  • btw the comment about the shuffling rhythm wasnt a reply to you LOL.

  • u're such a dumbass

  • Comment removed

  • sorry mate for the confusion

    it was meant to be to powersoulboy.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think Bad was a wack album, the critics say so, till this day, Bad is well know as MJ downfall By the way Prince fans don't put videos on you tube about "why Mj is better then P"

    Similac you are a blind MJ fan, you know the crap on Prince videos, ur comments

    After MJ die, all of you change your You Tube tactis and change the title "Why Mj is better then prince" to a "Tribute to MJ", because you knew you will shade MJ memory.

    JCInsatiable319 comments are racist and homophobic.

  • his bad was still good, to me better than thriller. the only reason why people said it wasn't good because he didn't surpass thriller. that's true but that album was one of the best.

  • dude, why cant MJ fans admit some true facts even iif they dont like them???? just saying true facts about MJ doesnt makes us haters.

  • I agree with you. True facts:

    MJ din't sold 750 millions and Garth Brooks sold more records then Thriller, there are lots of documents on and off line.

    Raymone Bain MJ publicist made up the 750 million number, chek the RIAA records.

    MJ wrote the scrip were Liz Taylor call him the king of pop, then he forced every single award show to present him with the title. After that MJ added the "king of pop" nick name to his promotional videos with 1984 collages of people screaming etc.

  • WRONG!! thriller has sold over 40 million copies and since his death it has sold over 110 million copies. and his album sales have increased since he died. the guiness book of world records have proved that michael have the best selling album of all time. the facts don't lie. elizabeth was the one that called michael that herself and michael didn't expect that to happen. sorry but no other artist has sold more than thriller and that's a fact.

  • I agree with you. True facts #2:

    After Bad weak sells compared to Thriller, MJ released 69 cents singles on the Dangerous album so he can have instant top ten singles, still Dangerous sells were wicker then Bad.

    Sony and the RIAA say that Thriller sold bIg but din't sold 100 millions like MICHAEL JACKSON'S MANAGMENT CLAIMED, the RIAA reported 50 millions for Thriller, fewer then Garth Brooks.

  • True very true, in 1988 bands like Guns and Roses and Def Lepard sold more albums then Bad

    Sony reported that with tv promotions, videos, MJ traditional publicity stunts etc. Bad did worse then INXS Kick album, a small band that keep their publicity simple.

    That's why MJ owned Sony more $ then what he can sell in the earlier 90s

    What's funny, is that MJ managment continued the publicity gimick of MJ been the best seller during the 90s, taking advantaged of worldwide sells that can't be proved

  • Comment removed

  • because what you say are not facts. you come off as a hater. deal with it boy. michael rules!!!

  • his mom suggested michael to write a song about that? obviuosly it was MJ's way to say he was gay. Anyway, im talking about the MUSIC not the stupid lame lyrics. the bassline was stolen from hall and oates.

  • Comment removed

  • im talking about the music. obviously a drum and bassline are not lyrics. YOU ARE RETARDED. thats another fact. if MJ said sorry to hall and oates and they made comments about it in a cool way i cannot believe how a nerd like u can give a different opinion. ur not MJ, ur not hall or ates and u dont know the fatcs. FUCK U.

  • Comment removed

  • ahahah look whos talking!!! u are retarded. anyway, lets do it in japanese or spanish...or latin if u wish. IDIOT THIS IS THE FUCKING INTERNET IM NOT WRITING AN ARTICLE FOR SCIENCE MAGAZINE, RETARD. u have nothing to say so u come up with the spelling, grammar etc etc....what a loser

  • Streetwalker should have been in the Album imo

  • prince is a genius
