When I saw this music video for the first time, I really liked it because I liked the song and also that Michael Jackson is my favorite singer of all time. Michael Jackson did a fine job in this music video and the direction and choreography were superb. Michael Jackson has done very cool music videos in the past and they were cool and this one is cool too. My favorite part was Michael saying "Who's Bad?" because it sounded cool and that it goes with the song.

Final Rating: 10/10
