[edit] Music video
The music video for "Who Is It" features Michael Jackson's supposed girlfriend working as a call girl with other men, including a man confined to a wheelchair. Due to Jackson being busy with the Dangerous World Tour at the time of the making of the video, a lookalike was used in some of the scenes.[citation needed] The video can be found on the Dangerous - The Short Films DVD.
