Su pelo, su sonrisa, su forma de bailar, su voz, todo 😎 Desde niños siempre hemos tenido un ídolo y debo reconocer que para mí siempre lo fue Michael Jackson en su época BAD, ¡algo sencillamente brutal! Lo echo tanto de menos, para mí el mundo cambió muchísimo desde su fallecimiento. Él es mi Dios de por vida. 🙏🕺 #michaeljackson #mj @michaeljackson #bad ##mjbad #moonwalkers #kingofpop #reydelpop (en Castellón de la Plana, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hCkf0nLIV/?igshid=12zjasrdb5wz9

28 years ago today, Michael Jackson unleashed “Bad” upon the world. The album was certainly successful: 8 million records sold in the U.S. and millions more internationally. Does it pale by comparison to its predecessors “Thriller” and “Off The Wall”? Yes, it does. Almost any album would, and there’s no way that “Bad” could’ve possibly exceeded the sky-high expectations of not only the public, but of Michael himself. The King of Pop’s rumored goal was 100 million records sold. Lofty ambitions, but not necessarily feasible. History is made on purpose, sure;  but fate has just as much of a hand in any success. The album holds up better than most pop ‘n b made during the same period, with the exception of, maybe, Janet’s “Control” or “Faith” by George Michael (”Sign o’ the Times” is on a whole ‘nutha plane, y’all.) There’s a sense among some of the MJ faithful that it was robbed of an Album Of The Year Grammy, but I’m not in that camp. In terms of importance, U2′s “The Joshua Tree”, the album that _did_ win, arguably surpasses it. In terms of sheer quality, I again refer you to Prince’s “Sign o’ the Times”, which I consider to be the best album made that entire decade.

Even with only one truly transcendent moment (”Man In The Mirror”), “Bad” is still a great record; a solid A- or B+ after two A+ records. Not a bad run at all. 

I haven’t seen the video for “Speed Demon” (which made its initial appearance in the long-form “Moonwalker” video in 1989) in 25 years, probably. The clip is better than the actual song. It’s nice to see so many folks from Michael’s inner circle actually appear in the video (like security guards Bill Bray and Miko Brando) or get referenced (Frank In The Box refers to MJ’s then-manager, Frank DiLeo). If this popped up on YouTube today by a modern-day pop star, the internet would go apeshit.
