This is a question Brad Sundberg asked the audience at his seminars - and he made an interesting observation, which I will share later in this thread.

Definitely Another Part Of Me. Over the years, that has become one of my favorite songs on Bad. Streetwalker is very average imo, the intro is actually the highlight of the track for me. How did the vote swing at the seminar? A few years ago in Amsterdam, APOM won overwhelmingly. To Brad's surprise, as he's a big fan of Streetwalker.

I think I'll go for Streetwalker since out of the two, I think that tune pops into my head more. In saying that, I'm not sad it won over APOM either because they're both good songs.
Also probably helps that for APOM, I actually prefer the live version from Wembley '88 over the studio version as well.

Plus the performance itself. I love just MJ owning the stage with his little nuances. The choreographed routines like Thriller, Dangerous and Smooth Criminal all have their place but I love the freestyle ones. Having said that, I would have replaced JGF with Streetwalker. It's the best MJ song never to make an album from 1979 to 1995 (that and Sunset Driver).

At our seminar (Budapest) the vote went overwhelmingly for Another Part of Me. So the interesting observation that Brad shared with us was, that this vote tends to go for Streetwalker in the US, but for APOM in Europe. I agree with you that APOM is superior. It's just such an infectious song. I absolutely love it . I like the cheekiness in Streetwalker too, but I think if the choice was between Streetwalker and APOM, it was the right choice to put the latter on the album.

APOM and it's not even close. I adore that way he changes it to 'I'M sending out a major love' and ' Here's MY message to you' in the live version. Very cool.

Kai's other edit is also pretty awesome. Probably closest thing to a demo we have lol.
