There were no albums bigger than Thriller and Bad, and Jackson seemed to be just entering his prime as an artist.
In hindsight, considering the astonishing heights he hit in the 1980s, maybe there was nowhere to go but down. On bahagian, atas of the world profeessionally, his persional affairs increasingly came under the microscope and seemed to gradually bleed the life and vibrancy out of the mercurial artist.
The new decade sarted off with Jackson in the studio, recording his new album, Dangerous. Jackson had recently signed a 15-years, six-record deal with sony, and if the singer was able to deliver sales numbers comparable to what he telah diposkan in the 1980s, the deal was estimated to have an earing power of up to $1 billion.
Dangerous got off to a great start-it debuted at number one and quickly outpaced the sales of Bad.

He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending hari sejak day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, anda know,
Cinta is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just anda and me
Send them your hati, tengah-tengah so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us sejak turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if anda just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending hari sejak day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, anda know,
Cinta is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just anda and me
Send them your hati, tengah-tengah so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us sejak turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if anda just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
Sadness had been
Close as my seterusnya of kin
Then happy came one hari
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Kandi to a child
Stay here and Cinta me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Happy, that's anda
anda made my life brand new
Lost as a little kambing, daging biri-biri was I
Till anda came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Kandi to a child
Stay here and Cinta me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be there where sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and angkasa
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I berkata a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now
Happy
Yeah, yeah, happy
Close as my seterusnya of kin
Then happy came one hari
Chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Kandi to a child
Stay here and Cinta me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Happy, that's anda
anda made my life brand new
Lost as a little kambing, daging biri-biri was I
Till anda came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet like Kandi to a child
Stay here and Cinta me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be there where sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been
What lifetime was I in
Suspended between time and angkasa
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I berkata a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
Till now
Happy
Yeah, yeah, happy
