	Actors - Bad

"Bad" was a 1987 hit recording by pop singer Michael Jackson. The song was one of his signature songs, and one of five number-one hit singles from the album of the same name. The album, though way behind the massive success of Thriller in terms of record sales, would nonetheless become a monumental hit for MJ, selling over 30 million copies to date.

The song was originally intended as a duet with longtime rival Prince. Prince was approached and briefly considered taking part in the project, but eventually decided against it. Prince claims he did not want people making gay jokes about the first line "your butt is mine", which Jackson refused to change. Years later, Quincy Jones told a different story when he said that Prince told him and Jackson that he hadn't wanted to participate because "it would be a hit without (him)". Allegedly, Prince said of the album, it was called "Bad" because "they didn't have enough room to spell 'Pathetic' ".

The video for the song was directed by Martin Scorsese and featured an appearance by a then-unknown Wesley Snipes. There is also an 18-minute version of the video which is available on the DVD HIStory on Film- Volume 1.

In 2006, the single, as well as the video, will be re-released as part of the Visionary - The Video Singles package.
