- <p> Whether you loved it or hated it--and it was easy to do
- both, because it powerfully portrayed each of those emotions--it was hard not to be blown away by Michael Jackson's new video
- when it made its debut last week. With mind-boggling effects and
- a hodgepodge of imagery, the 11-minute Black or White took
- viewers from a home in suburbia to the plains of Africa to a
- series of faces melting one into another with Terminator 2
- fluidity. In fact, the video's wizardry and crotch-grabbing
- wildness overshadow the music, which is far from the
- cutting-edge sound fans are used to hearing from Jackson. But
- the crotch-grabbing was too much for those with children
- watching. Complaints caused the singer to cut a 4-minute
- sequence.

- <p> The song's album, Dangerous, will share shelf space with
- an unscheduled offering from Michael's brother Jermaine: the
- original version of Word to the Badd!! The song is critical of
- Michael: "Once you were made/ You changed your shade." The words
- were rewritten for Jermaine's new album, but radio stations
- played bootleg copies of the original. But don't expect a
- continued family feud. The brothers spoke face to face recently
- for the first time in eight months.
