)Dangerous
Dangerous专辑名称： Dangerous
演唱歌手： Michael Jackson
专辑类别： 英语专辑1CD
出版年月： 1991
《dangerous》中的首曲《black or white》MTV耗资400万总长11分钟，歌曲的表面主题是反映种族和睦，MTV中迈克尔与非洲部族巴厘人以及美洲土著人欢天喜地的共舞，同时在MTV中还展现了两个可爱的婴儿穿着有利环保的尿布坐在巨大的地球仪上。其中一个镜头充分体现了迈克尔的不可一世,他高踞自由女神像所举的火把上唱歌，俯首众生。不过其中的一个特技却更让人耳目一新，它每秒耗资 1万美圆，经过电脑的精心处理，称为“变脸”。在开场白中,迈考利正在放硬摇滚乐，他的父亲叫他把音乐关小,而迈考利却搬来超级扩音器把父亲从屋顶震飞了出去;而后记中,一只黑豹突然变成迈克尔，发狂的跳舞，他跳起踢踏舞并把路边的汽车车窗砸得粉碎。最后变成黑豹跑开。MTV以一段动画片结束。《black or white》在任何意义上都是个轰动。
其实这张专辑基本上不用介绍，实在是太经典了，可谓是Michael的颠峰之作。

[编辑本段]专辑介绍
1991年末，在首支单曲"Black or White"的音乐录影带的发行之后不久，《Dangerous》专辑发行了。独占榜首7周后，"Black or White"成为继"Billie Jean"之后的杰克逊的最受欢迎的单曲。与《Thriller》和《Bad》一样，在《Dangerous》中同样产生了7首畅销单曲，除了"Black or White"，还包括"Remember the Time"、"In the Closet"和"Will You Be There"等等
LP限量版《Dangerous》中的首曲《Black Or White》MTV耗资400万，总长11分钟，歌曲的表面主题是反映种族和睦，MTV中迈克尔与非洲部族巴厘人以及美洲土著人欢天喜地的共舞，同时在MTV中还展现了两个可爱的婴儿穿着有利环保的尿布坐在巨大的地球仪上。其中一个镜头充分体现了迈克尔向往全世界各种族人民自由和平,他高踞自由女神像所举的火把上唱歌。不过其中的一个特技却更让人耳目一新，它每秒耗资 1万美元，经过电脑的精心处理，称为“变脸”。在开场白中,迈考利正在放硬摇滚乐，他的父亲叫他把音乐关小,而迈考利却搬来超级扩音器把父亲从屋顶震飞了出去;而后记中,一只黑豹突然变成迈克尔，发狂的跳舞，他跳起踢踏舞并把路边的汽车车窗砸得粉碎。最后变成黑豹跑开。MTV以一段动画片结束。《Black Or White》在任何意义上都是个轰动。
《Dangerous》于91年11月发行起初的销量创下了当时的销售记录。在英国取得单曲销售佳绩(9支发行的单曲中7支打入前10) 而“Dangerous”世界巡演更是帮助专辑保持稳定态势在榜上停留了2年（117周）之久并售出210万张。 这使得《Dangerous》成为英国90年代最畅销的专辑之一。但显然成绩不如《Bad》的400万或《Thriller》340万的销量。《Bad》是有史以来英国本土销量第2高的专辑，仅次于The Beatles的《Sgt. Pepper》专辑，后者售出了450万张。
在美国《Dangerous》里的单曲成绩表现同《Bad》里发行的单曲相比显得差强人意。专辑发行的7支单曲中只派生出4支Top 10。《Bad》有6支Top 10，其中5支是冠军单曲。 尽管如此，《Dangerous》仍旧在榜上停留了近2年，而且还在93年年初因得益于Michael Jackson在当年超级碗橄榄球联赛开幕式的表演以及接受名嘴Oprah Winfrey的采访而获得了一次销量大反弹。最终《Dangerous》在美国本土售出700万，紧跟《Bad》的800万销量。考虑到Michael Jackson并没有在美国本土举行“Dangerous”巡演的事实，该专辑还是可以称得上是成功的。
那么《Dangerous》是如何打破《Bad》的世界销售记录的呢？《Bad》在英国和美国的销量占世界销量的48%，而《Dangerous》则占33%。值得一提的是，《Dangerous》里的单曲成绩在欧洲及澳洲的表现尤为强劲。而且适时的巡演也促进了专辑的销量。同《Bad》和《Thriller》相比，《Dangerous》在欧洲和澳洲取得了更大的成功。与此同时，该专辑在新生成长的唱片市场如亚洲、南美也是销售一片长红。总之，《Dangerous》的销量之所以可以超过《Bad》是因为除了英国和美国，它在全球其他任何角落的销售成绩都胜过《Bad》。
强劲而持久的销售生命使《Dangerous》成为90年代销售成绩第二高的专辑，并排在全球历史上最畅销专辑名单里的前15位。如果除去精选辑和电影原声带，该专辑可以名列世界最畅销的原创专辑的前10名。
专辑是否可以取得更好的成绩？
《Dangerous》是Michael Jackson继《Thriller》之后最为成功的专辑, 但很多人认为它还可以取得更好的成绩——为什么呢？
事实的关键出在93专辑宣传后期发生的性骚扰指控。媒体的反应比预想的还要糟糕，这成了历史上最大的丑闻之一。尽管Michael Jackson之后证明自己是清白的，但损害已经造成，巡演的第二阶段仍然不得不取消，而随后的单曲“Gone too Soon”也以失败告终。
如果“Dangerous”巡演可以得以完成，如果谣传中的第10支单曲“Dangerous”得以发行，有些人预测《Dangerous》还可能在美国本土再卖出400万到500万，而在其他地区再卖出300万到400万。最后的世界销量或许可以达到3500万到3600万。这足以让《Dangerous》成为当时世界第二最畅销唱片。
其实这张专辑基本上不用介绍，实在是太经典了，可谓是Michael的颠峰之作。
荣誉称号：
《Dangerous》专辑为Michael Jackson成年后正式发行的第四张个人专辑，这张专辑的音乐创作水平堪称音乐界的极至，其水平之精湛无与伦比，奠定了Michael Jackson无人能匹的歌王地位，因而在流行音乐会史上被后人誉为“流行音乐之王的皇冠”。

Why You Wanna Trip On Me
Written and composed by Teddy Riley and Bernard Bell
They say I'm different
They don't understand
But there's a bigger problem
That's much more in demand
You got world hunger
Not enough to eat
So there's really no time
To be trippin' on me
You got school teachers
Who don't wanna teach
You got grown people
Who can't write or read
You got strange diseases
Ah but there's no cure
You got many doctors
That aren't so sure
So tell me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Stop trippin'
We've got more problems
Than we'll ever need
You got gang violence
And bloodshed on the street
You got homeless people
With no food to eat
With no clothes for their back
And no shoes for their feet
We've got drug addiction
In the minds of the weak
We've got so much corruption
Police brutality
We've got streetwalkers
Walkin' into darkness
Tell me
What are you doing
To try and stop this
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Stop trippin'
Yeah stop trippin'
Everybody just stop trippin'
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Stop trippin'
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Stop trippin'
Yeah stop trippin'
Everybody just stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'

There's something
I have to say to you

When in your presence
I'm so humble
Just touch me
Don't hide our love
Woman to man
She's just a lover
Who makes me high
It worth the giving
It's worth the try

Or put it in the furnace
You cannot wet it
You cannot burn it

Written and Composed By Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley
She got the look
She so fine
And you know damn well
The girl will be mine

She gives it to me
Black jeans and
A turtleneck sweater
I know the girl

For the willing
Got it sweaty in the back
Come to the place
Shock tacy
And you know damn well
You know what I mean
Talk hot in the face
One and 3.
Like a pleasure trip
Like you've never seen
Satin lace
And a paisley cut top
The girl is waisting over
And she knows
What she's got
She got position
She got what it takes
She got mojo
In her pocket
She got it ready
Just in case

Remember The Time
Written and composed by Teddy Riley, Michael Jackson, and Bernard Bell
Do you remember
When we fell in love
We were so young
And innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?
Do you remember
Back in the fall
We'd be together all day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands
In each other's eyes
We'd stare
(Tell me)
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember
How we used to talk
(Ya know)
We'd stay on the phone
At night till dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said like
I love you so
I'll never let you go
Do you remember
Back in the spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
They'll just go on and on
In the back of my mind
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met girl
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Those sweet memories
Will always be dear to me
And girl no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time

In the park, on the beach
Remember the times
You and me in Spain
Remember the times

Remember the times
After dark... do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you, do you

Can't Let Her Get Away
Written and composed by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley
I thought she had to have it
Since the first time she came
Who knows the situation
Mysteries remain
And now I wonder why
I breakdown when I cry
Is it something I said
Or is it just a lie
(Is it just a lie)
I try so hard to love you
Some things take
Time and shame
I think the whole world
Of you
Your thoughts of me remain
I'll play the fool for you
I'll change the rules for you
Just say it and I'll do
Just make this thing
Come true
(Make this dream come true)
If I let her get away
Though I'm begging
On my knees
I'll be crying everyday
Knowing the girl
That got away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I tried to mastermind it
By saying let it be
But everytime I did it
The hurt came back at me
I told you that I need you
A thousand times and why
I played the fool for you
And still you said goodbye
(Still you said goodbye)
If I let her get away
Then the world will
Have to see
A fool who lives alone
And the fool who
Set you free
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away

Heal The World
Written and composed by Michael Jackson
There's a place in
Your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could
Be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need
To cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways
To get there
If you care enough
For the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
If you want to know why
There's a love that
Cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of
Joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this bliss
We cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and
Start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for
Us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
And the dream we were
Conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we
Once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep
Strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all
My brothers
Create a world with
No fear
Together we cry
Happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords
Into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough
For the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me

Black or White
Written and composed by Michael Jackson
Rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell
I took my baby
On a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we're one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But, if
You're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
They print my message
In the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them
I ain't second to none
And I told about equality
And it's true
Either you're wrong
Or you're right
But, if
You're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I ain't scared of
Your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scared of nobody
Girl when the
Goin' gets mean
Protection
For gangs, clubs,
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
It's a turf war
On a global scene
I'd rather hear bother sides
Of the tale
See, it's not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where you space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to spend
My life being a color
Don't tell me you agree
With me
When I saw you
Kicking dirt in my eye
But, if
You're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I said if
You're thinkin' of
Being my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I said if
You're thinkin' of
Being my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
It's black, it's white
It's tough for them
To get by
It's black, it's white, whoo
It's black, it's white
It's tough for them
To get by
It's black, it's white, whoo

Who Is It
Written and composed by Michael Jackson
I gave her money
I gave her time
I gave her everything
Inside one heart could find
I gave her passion
My very soul
I gave her promises
And secrets untold
And she promised me forever
And a day we'd live as one
We made our vows
We'd live a life anew
And she promised me in secret
That she'd love me for all time
It's a promise so untrue
Tell me what will I do?
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm lying to myself
And the reason why she left me
Did she find someone else?
(Who is it?)
It is a friend of mine
(Who is it?)
Is it my brother?
(Who is it?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it?)
I can't take this stuff anymore
I am the damned
I am the dead
I am the agony inside
The dying head
This is injustice
Woe unto thee
I pray this punishment
Would have mercy on me
And she promised me forever
That we'd live our life as one
We made our vows
We'd live a love so true
It seems that she has left me
For such reasons unexplained
I need to find the truth
But see what will I do?
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm bothered everyday
And she didn't leave a letter
She just up and ran away
(Who is it?)
It is a friend of mine
(Who is it?)
Is it my brother?
(Who is it?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it?)
I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortunes
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm lying to myself
And the reason why she left me
Did she find someone else?
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortunes

Give In To Me
Written and composed by Michael Jackson and Bill Bottrell
She always takes it with a
Heart of stone
'Cause all she does is
Throw it back to me
I've spent a lifetime
Looking for someone
Don't try to understand me
Just simply do the
Thing I say
Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
'Cause I'm on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me woman
Give in to me
Give in to me
You always knew just how
To make me cry
And never did I ask you
Questions why
It seems you get your kicks
From hurting me
Don't try to understand me
Because your words just
Aren't enough
Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin' me higher
Love is a woman
I don't wanna hear it
Give in to me
Give in to me
It's all right
But it's ok
But it's ok
You're always thinkin'
That you know it's a lie
But it's ok
And I'd
I'd never find
Better peace of mind
No
Don't try to tell me
Because your words
Just aren't enough
Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin' me higher
Talk to me woman
Love is a
I don't want to hear it
Quench my desire
I'm on fire
Give it to me woman
I don't want to hear it
Tell it to the preacher
Love is a woman
Love is a feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
Love is a feeling
I don't wanna hear it
Quench my desire
Takin' me higher
Tell it to the preacher
Satisfy the feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me woman
Talk to me lady
'Cause I'm on fire

Will You Be There
Written and composed by Michael Jackson
(Angel's Intro)
(Piano's Intro)
Hold me
Like the River Jordan
And I will say to thee
You are my friend
Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?
When weary
Tell me will you hold me
When lost will you find me?
But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight till the end
But I'm only human
Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's
Got a role for me
I'm so confused
Will you show to me
You'll be there for me
And care enough to bear me
(Hold me)
(Lay you head lowly)
(Softly then boldly)
(Carry me there)
(Hold me)
(Love me and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)
(Carry)
(Carry me boldly)
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me there)
(Save me)
(Heal me and bathe me)
(Softly you say to me)
(I will be there)
(Lift me)
(Lift me up slowly)
(Softly then boldly)
(Carry me there)
(Need me)
(Love me and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)
In our darkest hour
In my deepest despair
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tribulations
Through our doubts
And frustrations
In my violence
In my turbulence
Through my fear
And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of
Another tomorrow
I'll never let you part
For you're always in my heart.

Keep The Faith
Written and composed by Glen Ballard, Siedah Garrett, and Michael Jackson
If you call out loud
Will it get inside
Through the heart of your surrender
To your alibis
And you can say the words
Like you understand
But, the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance
'Cause you can
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest see, hee
All you need is the will to want it
And uhh, little self-esteem
So keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round
You gotta know when
It's good to go
To get your dreams
Up off the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
Believe in yourself
No matter what it's gon' take
You can be a winner
But you got to keep the faith
...Gon' keep it brother
You got it
And when you think of trust
Does it lead you home
To a place that you
Only dream of
When you're all alone
And you can go by fell
'Stead of circumstance
But the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance
I know that you can
Sail across the water
Float across the sky, high
Any road that you take
Will get you there
If you only try
So keep the faith, ow
Don't let nobody
Take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes
On the prize

Do the thing right
Lift up your head and show
The world you got pride
Go for what you want
Didn't let 'em get in your way
You can be better
But you gotta keep the faith

Means never givin' up on love
But the power that love has
To make it right

Gone Too Soon
Music by Larry Grossman
Lyrics by Buz Kohan ("Buzzie Wuzzie")
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkling
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

Dangerous
Written and composed by Michael Jackson, Bill Bottrell, and Teddy Riley
The way she came into the place
I knew right then and there
There was a something different
About this girl
The way she moved
Her hair, her face, her lines
Divinity in motion
As she stalked the room
I could feel the aura
Of her presence
Every head turned
Feeling passion and lust
The girl was persuasive
The girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous
I never knew but I was
Walking the line
Come go with me
I said I have no time
She said don't you pretend we didn't
Talk on the phone
My baby cried
And left me standing alone
She's so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you're no damn good for me
She came at me in sections
With the eyes of desire
I fell trapped into her
Web of sin
A touch, a kiss
A whisper of love
I was at the point
Of no return
Deep in the darkness of
Passion's insanity
I felt taken by lust's
Strange inhumanity
This girl was persuasive
This girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous
I never knew
But I was living in vain
She called my house
And said you know my name
And don't you pretend
You never did me before
With tears in her eyes
My baby walked out the door
She's so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to God
'Cause I know how
Lust can blind
It's a passion in my soul
But you're no damn love
Friend of mine
And then it happened
She touched me
For the lips of
A strange woman
Drop as a honeycomb
And her mouth was
Smoother than oil
But her inner spirit and words
Were as sharp as
A two-edged sword
But I loved it
'Cause it's dangerous
I cannot sleep alone tonight
My baby left me here tonight
I cannot cope 'til it's all right
You and your manipulation
You hurt my baby
She's so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you're no damn good for me
Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you're no damn good for me
Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you're no damn good for me
Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to God
'Cause I know how
Lust can blind
It's a passion in my soul
But you're no damn lover
Friend of mine
