Michael Jackson "Man In The Mirror"
Here's a couple of YouTube clips of Michael from this time. (You may have
to view them in YouTube.)
Did You Know....
That "Bad" was responsible for the creation of nine ground-breaking
videos? "Dirty Diana"; "Man In The Mirror"; "Bad"; "They Way You Make
Me Feel"; "Liberian Girl"; "Speed Demon"; "Leave Me Alone";"Smooth
Criminal"; "Another Part of Me"
That Michael's friend and then manager, Frank Dileo was integral in
the "Bad" album and subsequent tour.
That Michael won the MTV Video Vanguard Award in 1988 as a result of
"Bad's" remarkable short-films? (The award was renamed a few years
later to the 'Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award')
That the short-film "Bad" was originally supposed to have featured
the artist "Prince", but he declined. The role was then played by
Wesley Snipes.
That the "Bad" tour ended in Los Angeles at the Los Angeles Memorial
Sports Arena in January 1989; after making it's way through Asia,
Europe, Australia and North America.
These accomplishments and more give clear reason as to why Michael Jackson
still reigns as the "KING OF POP". He's in a league all his own. No one
else could ever do what he single-handedly did.
