"Liberian Girl" is an exotic sounding ballad with a celebrity packed video. It all works well however as Producer Quincy Jones doesn't allow duds onto any MJ material. "Speed Demon" is amongst the more experimental music on "Bad" with it's clunking chain sample and unusual tempo. "The Way You Make Me Feel" is a catchy pop effort, recently re-immortalised in his excellent single "Rock My World" (Both concept wise and video scenario).
