Spike Lee's Bad 25 Documentary Tonight (MJ most under-rated Classic)....

[Tom]

"Dangerous" 25th Anniversary is in 2016, hope they do a documentary with Teddy Reily about that LP. That album sold 30 Million Worldwide. Sadly "Dangerous" didn't have as many hits as "Off the wall, Thriller or Bad" which is why I say it's his weakest Classic. But it still had some serious hits. Crazy MJ released 9 singles from "Dangerous". 4 Top 10 hits, 2 hit the Top 5 but he only got one #1 single off that album which was "Black or White". "Remember the Time" got close but tapped out at #3 . "In the closet" #6 and "Will you Be there" #7 . "Dangerous" have a few average songs but it was still a Classic, some great music on that LP. But even though Teddy did a great job, Something was missing without Quincy.

That album cover is still better than Bad,Thriller and Off the Wall tho



@ the gay ass photo that was originally supposed to be Bad's album cover tho

I don't know, a lot of symbolism in that cover. My favorite is "Thriller" and the one with the tigers and the special edition one with the pink cover, lolI just remember being a kid and my dad having the Vinyl of it. Mike's swag was cray in the white suit:

(Classic 80's Jheri curls, lol)

I mean LOOK AT THIS shyt

ALL those people came to see ONE MAN...

He will forever will be the G.O.A.T.

No disrespect to the gawd MJ but I'm 99% sure that image is photoshopped.
Look at it closely and a lot of the crowd in sections has been duplicated.

LOL, Mike got away with it though, it was just his presense, lol. Off the Wall was a dope cover too with the magic glowing socks:

"Thriller" was a moment in history where one album literally connected with everyone in the world. They said something like 1 and every 10 people have heard or own Thriller in the world. That's insane. "Thriller" is to music what the Bible is to books, that's how many people owned it. But "Bad" still did over 40 Million Worldwide which is still a lot of damn records. It had more #1 hits but "Thriller" was just unique. Here are the Top 5 Selling LP's ever:


#1 . Michael Jackson - Thriller - 110 Million
#2 . AC/DC - Back in Black - 50 Million
#3 . Pink Floyd - The Wall - 50 Million
#4 . Whitney Houston - The Bodyguard - 45 Million
#5 . Michael Jackson - Bad - 45 Million

So It dropped 60% in sales from "Thriller", he still put up Top 5 Numbers all time on the follow up so I think he succeeded anyway. But don't get it twisted, Bad was still huge. The "BAD" tour was bigger than his Tours during the Thriller Era. Bad Michael was the Apex of his popularity, he basically was the undisputed King by the time the Bad Era ended. It was not debatable who the King of the 80's was.

Excuse my ignorance here, but does anyone mind telling me how Whitney Houston wound up being that popular and selling that much?

Dogg Whitney isn't a Legend for nothing man, "The Bodyguard" Soundtrack is the Biggest soundtrack of all time. "I will always love you" blew up something Big to the point people don't even consider it Dolly Parton's Song anymore. Also Look at Whitney 3 LP's before "The Bodyguard":


Whitney Houston: 13x Platinum (25 Worldwide)
Whitney: 9x Platinum (20 Worldwide)
I'm Your baby tonight: 4x Platinum (12 Worldwide)

She had 7 #1 singles in a row. Whitney and Janet as far as Black Women were the opposite of Michael in the 80's. Also I found out from this documentary, Michael originally wanted Whitney on that "I can't stop love you" duet but her Label didn't want her to be overexposed. It went #1 anyway but that would of been even more Epic.

I had the when I heard em say that. The end production is great but I still wonder what it could have been.

Yes that is her Biggest song but Whitney had 7 #1 songs before she did "I will always love you", but that song put her to Legendary Status. She could of died after "Bodyguard" and still been as Iconic as she is now. Actually most people last memories of Whitney before all the Drugs was The Bodyguard Era.
