[edit] Jackson wrote lyrics?

What is the source for the assertion that Jackson wrote the lyrics for "Man in the Mirror?" The song is always credited "written and composed by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett"--whatever "written" (lyrics?) and "composed "(music?) means. Regardless, Jackson is not credited as a songwriter for this track, ever--on the Bad album, in the music publishing, or anywhere. So what's the story with Jackson supposedly writing the lyrics?

[edit] Etc

"It played a major role in getting Chris Valdaulli laid by a little asian boy." Was this part just wikigraffiti, or is this a story I should know something about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.124.114.175 (talk) 21:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Covers

Do we want a section listing covers? One I am listening to at the moment is by Texas Lightning a German, Country & Western band. JP Godfrey 13:00, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moonwalker

I think the Moonwalker clip featuring the song should be noted in the article. You know, the beggining of the film, which shows a concert from the Bad World Tour and also showing some historical clips. BrowndRemastered 13:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inappropriate Content?

Does the comment about "helped Chris Valdaulli get laid..." belong on this page? 204.16.142.194 17:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
