• Description : Michael Jackson Man In The Mirror H...(more)DTV AC3 Official HQ Video The mid-tempo track is well known for its dramatic flourishes and Jackson's passionate delivery of its poignant lyrics. The song's lyrics were composed by Glen Ballard, Siedah Garrett (who can be heard singing in the background with Jackson) and Michael Jackson. Jackson added background vocals from Garrett, the Winans and the Andrae Crouch Choir, which gave the song its distinctive sound. Arranged with a gospel choir, a year after David Bowie used the same device for "Underground", from the fantasy film Labyrinth, other popular artists at the time who had tracks featuring gospel choirs include Debbie Gibson, Mariah Carey, Guns N' Roses and Madonna for her 1989 number one hit "Like a Prayer". Siedah Garrett also sang on Jackson's "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" [1] and was one of the backing vocalists for Madonna's Re-Invention Tour of 2004 and performed a short solo during "Like a Prayer." Jackson has performed a live, extended version of the song at the 1988 Grammy Awards. He also performed the song as the endings of his concert at his Bad World Tour's second leg, and regularly at his Dangerous World Tour. In the latter, the song was ensued by stuntman Kinnie Gibson dressed as Jackson flying out of the arena in a jetpack. On July 16, 1996, Jackson also performed "Man in the Mirror" at the Royal Concert Brunei for the last time prior to the United We Stand benefit concert. This song has been included in most of Jackson's compilation albums, but was notably absent in the Visionary: The Video Singles box set. The song was quoted by Jermaine Jackson during Celebrity Big Brother 2007, while confronting several white housemates who had been bullying an Indian housemate, the Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. The song was played into the house the following morning as an alarm. The television series Cold Case used the song for the ending montage in the episode "Time to Crime" even though the subject matter of the episode was to have occurred in August, 1987. The song is sampled by Brooklyn MC Papoose during the summer of 2006 on his "Gonna Make a Change." The song describes his rough upbringing and his struggles. Later the song was freestyled by rapper Rhymefest with Michael singing the chorus & singing part of his second verse. Siedah Garett recorded a more stripped down acoustic version of the song for her 2004 album Siedah. The song has been performed on The X Factor by contestant Diana Vickers and American Idol by winner, Kris Allen. (less)
