What are your favourite songs on Michael's late 80s masterpiece and why.
I have inclluded the original release songs only - no B sides, alternate mixes or Bad 25 extras. Just as a perfect snapshot in time.

First two are easy. Man In The Mirror and The Way You Make Me Feel. The third one is difficult. I'd probably give the edge to Smooth Criminal over Bad with Dirty Diana not far behind.

Dirty Diana (one of his best vocal performances. I can hear anger, passion, hate, love all the emotions in his voice in one performance) Liberian Girl (it's dreamy, smooth and gorgeous) Smooth Criminal (it's one of his most epic moments)

1. Smooth Criminal - perhaps the greatest straight-forward pop song of all time 2. Man In The Mirror - just a perfect song in every way 3. Dirty Diana - because it's amazing Did I really say that Bad was inferior to Invincible? God, I talk some shit sometimes.

I am LOVING these answers so far. No. Leave Me Alone is wrong. It's too low. Fix it.

Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal, Leave Me Alone. Hard luck everyone, you all voted wrong. Leave Me Alone, better than MITM or APOM for that matter? Fuck off. Actually, don’t take my word for it... ’We did a song called ‘Leave Me Alone’. It’s about a guy who wants to be, um, independent again, I guess, but it has another layer too, another meaning. Anyway, I like it, but there are much better songs that have made the cut. We’re thinking about making it a special extra song on the Compact Disc, but we’ll see. It’s nice, it’s nice. Lots of self harmonies on the chorus.’ Michael Jackson, Smash Hits Interview 1987.

Light years better.

"I love Man in the Mirror, it's very inspirational. Except I didn't write it. The last 3 songs on my Bad record are fan-bloody-tastic. Christ, I love Dirty Diana. Isn't beige a great colour?"
Michael Jackson, The Irish Examiner, 23rd September 1987
