One of the many #1 hits of Michael Jackson's "Bad" album is "Dirty Diana". "Dirty Diana" came out on April 18, 1988 and it happens to be the very first vinyl I ever bought! So, a good reason to make a vlog about it ;-)

Dirty Diana is one of my favorite Mj's songs.
Terry Raynor 💯
Prince was yeah ok, but Michael was on a different level. Period 💯
Yep, he said it was during his Ebony interview.
Same here

31 years later and I still get exited hearing this!!!
Me too! 🔥
Same!!
It’s my favorite song!
Same feels the same 😁
Same Here
Michael wrote in his book that it was too late to put back Dirty Diana to the concert . So no, he couldn’t sing it at the end, eventhough Princess Diana said she wouldn’t mind it.
Michael Jackson is literally the ONLY person in existence that i can think of, who has literally 0 muscles, but can take his shirt off and women all around the globe just MELT Lol
Kyle Aaron cough cough Prince cough cough
Damn I got corona
@@chaycee1234 Ok maybe Prince lol
But I'm team Michael over here lol
Always enjoyed his music more
It’s all about the charisma and he was a damn fine looking man😂🤤💗
Mick jagger
With those moves, who needs muscles?
I still have all those original vinyl 12’inch albums unopened and sealed in the original packaging along with the Another Part of Me album all in untouched mint condition. I also have every Thriller and Bad 45 vinyl in mint condition. All 1983/84 - 1987/88 original. Good stuff
Oh wow, that's amazing! "Dirty Diana" was my very first 7" vinyl ever, it is not mint anymore though lol
@@muzikxpress how much was it?
@@JosexNieves oh wow, I can’t remember hehe
@@muzikxpress must've been awesome though especially if you love the song, playing it over and over on your vinyl
This song is one of my best. The music video with all the effects and energy kills me
Steve Stevens is a very underrated guitarist
He's one of the greatest
He is immortalised for Dirty Diana though .. he killed this!
Bit late...he was also Billy Idol's guitarist...played brilliantly in his songs...just watch the music videos
He eventually sang Dirty Diana in his Wembley concert as requested by the Lady Diana but you will notice that Michael is mumbling or changing some of the words. He must've been really embarassed because some might thought it was her.
I still think it’s about Diana. It’s even sound like he’s saying Ross
😂
Heard it was about Diana Ross
He talked about it in an interview he said it was about groupies.
It def was hw was sent to live with this grown ass woman at 8 or 9 quincy Jones was a sik fuk as well so of course ge will cover the real meaning michael told every thing in his songs ppl ain't want to listen 😢
Lol

He'll always be remembered as the Greatest music ICON in the world and no other artist can even come close to the magnitide of love, musical talent and compassion he shared with us to us for most of his life. No greater legend than Michael exists idgaf what anyone says fr

The lyrics of this song is so LIT 🔥
Apprently not the original lyrics. Apprently he went hard on her.
It would've made diana Ross look like the creep & predator she was
My most favorite song from the album.
4:41 to 4:52 Is that a trademark guitar riff used in Michael Jackson's rock songs?
You also hear it in Beat It. And you hear a similar riff at the end of They Don't Care About Us.
Also 3:15 to 3:17 Carlos Santana's famous riff
Yeah... I always used to wonder if they recycled that riff from 'Beat It' when I was a kid. Glad to hear of someone else who picked up on that. Lol.
@@d2dar459 I think it's the rhythm itself, not the tune. You even hear it in the main guitar riff in Black Or White. I can't think of any other examples.
Initial reports at the time suggested the song was a poke at his close friend Diana Ross. However, it was later denied. In fact, Ross started using the song as an overture at her concerts shortly before appearing on stage. In an interview from the special edition of Bad, Quincy Jones later confirmed that the song's lyrics were about groupies. Jackson also confirmed the same during an interview with Barbara Walters, adding that it was not about Diana, Princess of Wales, though he was told personally by the Princess that she liked that song the best.
Hr was everywhere in the 80s,even if u weren't a fan ,u still admired his music
I don’t know why but dirty Diana is only sang in the 80s 🤔
Michael probably made up wot diana ross & she probably said dont play it mo more after all he did respect her
@@traphousejodeci6630 Diana Ross wasn't gonna tell him what to do, crush or not.
@@traphousejodeci6630 🤭🤣
@@traphousejodeci6630 exactly, he likely stopped performing it to please her selfish self
I always did believe and always will believe this is Michael's way of expressing himself where Diana Ross was concerned . He later said she played him dirty . VDH
It's TRUE the demo version he dissed Diana hard but quincy made it cut it cause it would be too vulgar
I THINK IT WAS WHAT HE WOULD HAVE FELT IF HE WAS GROOMED , MANIPULATED N MOLESTED..WHO KNOWS
Yea
She was his mother
@@jiml8637 what about Katherine Jackson??
I remember people passing out at the concerts!!! Any the guitarist was amazing.
In a TV interview, the producer of this song Quincy Jones was asked by Mary J Blige who was MJ talking about in Dirty Diana, and Quincy said: "I thought it was about Diana Ross, like everyone else."
Quincy himself was aware that everyone thought it was about her and he didn't object to this assumption, so I'm guessing that it's true.
FUN FACT:
It is true. I did some of My Owe research on the subject and these aren’t the original lyrics (not all of them) It is in fact about Diana Ross and He wrote the song after Diana left Him when They were dating for one of Her Producers. The original lyrics were too much and clearly about Ms. Ross that His producer made Him change most of the lyrics and make it sound like the song was about a groupie.
Well the relationship that he and Diana had it would have made since but if u piece the lyrics to the song and match with video clearly you will depict its not about Diana Ross or princess Diana it's about a groupie who feels she can use her sex appeal to try help jump start her career through Michael. Like she was putting full court press on him.
@@dianacampbell694facts cause I heard he dissed her really bad..so he had to change the lyrics around
@@dianacampbell694Can you give me the links?
Love the content and how you gave love to all artists in the video. I deff thought it was about Diana Ross. Lol 🔥🔥🔥
It IS about Diana Ross
I just love this song. Thank you.
You're welcome! :)
It's so sad how Michael Jackson died and the only person that was convicted of his murder was his doctor I don't understand why that other name and people wasn't charged in his death sad story man the King of Pop and the king of music. Facts
I got chill bumps all over again watching this video
Well its about time they talk about this song cus onestly l love it
MJ Confirmed himself on a private call that it was about Dianna Ross and how she played him
If the call was private, how do you know? 😉
Can I hear it?
@@anyhow.anyway I posted the link, but this dude removed my comment. He might remove this one too
He didn’t confirm it was about Diana Ross, but he did say she played with his feelings and was fooling around
@@muzikxpressbecause someone was recording it and tried to sell it for money
I've always wanted to perform this track at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem, NYC!! 👍😲👍🔥😉😁❤️🤬
My favorite MJ song of all time period
Love your style of analysis. Michael is one and only forever presence.
He was going to perform Dirty Diana in the Royal Concert in Brunei 1996 and in the HIStory Tour but sadly didn’t
Ah bummer! :(
I love dirty diana . Its awesome.
Hi there
Dirty Diana is a masterpiece by my KinG!thank you!but Do You have any behind scenes of Dirty Diana I never found much!!
Thank you Marjan! And no, I couldn't realy find much either.... These days everybody has a mobile phone / camera crew in the studio, but that wasn't the case those days unfortunately hehe ;-)
God young people these days will never ever ever understand this man's fame ,I remember when thriller was coming out the video it was when we only had 3 channels and boy o boy we were waiting for it, I was only around 12 my bday is Nov 1 st right after Halloween when thriller came out it was extremely awesome, his music was legendary his fame unmatched and FYI DIRTY DIANA WAS ABSOLUTELY ABOUT DIANA ROSS SHE BROKE HIS HEART ALL THE TIME THERE'S NO DEBATING IT. QUINCY JONES WAS JUST TRYING TO SAVE FACE FOR THEM BUT IT WAS ABOUT HER, THE MAN WAS AWESOME
This is one of the greatest songs of the late 80s/1987
Of all time
Excellent story behind the making of this video.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!!
They both passed away in 2009!
Armando Koz yeah crazy right? And so sad....
Michael and who?
@@ameragrace The girl Mike is chasing in the music video of Dirty Diana.
Oh really? That's sad 😔 what's her name?
@@ameragrace her name was Lisa Dean
One of my favorites but you are wrong, it was about Diana Ross. Quincy Jones and MJ didn’t want to be sued.
I feel pop music was at its best during the 80s
And 70s
Then Dua Lipa and The Weeknd saved the pop industry ✨
@@lucysabrinacarrillo811 hell nah
@@lucysabrinacarrillo811 please don’t. Totally average music .. recycling the80s sound with techno beats doesn’t make it original. It makes it digital.

DIRTY DIANA WAS WRITTEN WITH DIANA ROSS IN MIND. MICHAEL'S MOTHER AND BROTHER CONFIRMS THE FACTS. HE WAS OBSESSED WITH DIANA. HOWEVER.. DIANA BROKE MJs HEART. LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP. DIRTY DIANA WILL ALWAYS BE A CLASSIC (REGARDLESS OF THE DARK TRUTH BEHIND THE MAKING OF IT)
I think your CAPS key is stuck, better get it checked ;-)
@@muzikxpress damn😂
When did his mother and brother confirm it ?
Do you have a link to that ?
Thanks
Honest question - did people actually get to buy single songs instead of the whole LP?
I mean I am of that era but wasn't too much into music until the late late 80s. My uncles had a lot of LPs but they had the whole album.
Yes, singles were available! Often good for just a few hits from an album, not made for every song. Looking back, I've bought singles, before albums came out, because you liked the songs, and so dj's could play them. It's easier to play from a single, than an album, when mixing.
They were called 45's. They also had cassette singles called cassingles.
THAT WAS KILLER
My favorite song. I still enjoying listening dirty diana song.💟
Well, this is not a complete "behind the story" but has valuable info, thank you & thumbs up
Thank you! And just curious, which essential information do you think is missing, since you wrote that it is not complete "behind the story"? I think I pointed out the most important parts and I am trying to keep the vlogs around 5 - 6 minutes only. People have a short attention span these days ;-)
@@muzikxpress I was at the video shoot doing the lasers, gr8 times

Glad you like it!!! It was my first 7" vinyl single ever btw :)
@@muzikxpress your welcome, and that is so cool
MJ is the undisputed GOAT and Dirty Diana is my favorite MJ song and one of the greatest songs ever written
Probably I luv this beautiful soul's all production but this one is one of my favorite
Dirty Diana is about Diana Ross. The first version was with much explicit lyrics and after hearing it Quincy Jones begged MJ to soften the lyrics.
Who is the "he" you are talking about? And what's your source for this?
@@muzikxpress Quincy Jones.
MJ was furious,because Diana married a Sweedish businessman and she and MJ were in a secret relationship,that ended when Diana got married.
Pretty sure he said in an interview it was not about her ;-) But feel free to send me the link where he said all of this.
@@muzikxpress The thing is nobody ever asked MJ about Dirty Diana lyrics and Quincy as well,it's all behind the scene statements. MJ was not of the kind that would say that publicly and Quincy was keeping quite to keep the game on.
He had a big crush on Diana Ross, ...
...but Quincy Jones said that he was singing about TENATIOUS GROUPIES (now called "Stans")
Micheal Jackson you rock my world🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Diana Ross had Mike living with her when he was only 11. She had her way with him and he fell in love with her. He referred to her as, "His friend, lover, and mother. Hence "Dirty Diana."
When I was kid I thought Dirty Diana was a street walker 😂😂
😂
I was a "groupie" for a band once in the 90's. My friends and I hung out with a popular band and smoked a little and drank a little and had a lot of laughs. We never talked about music or stardom. Just normal shooting the shit. We instinctively knew they'd crave normal every day talk. I hit it off v with the lead singer and we didn't have sex but we were like inseparable all night kissing and talking and just it was magic c when it eyes met... That type of thing. They had to go at the end of v the night and the roadies had to pull us apart and he said he wished he could've taken me out proper and treated me right as he was being pulled to his cars. I always remember this. We hung out with the band a few times but the singer was out of the band then so The band and roadies had us back over the years for just to chat and party but I never saw him again... Eventually he was back in the band but I'd moved on with my life by then and grew up. But this song today made me feel like maybe I wasn't just a joke to them. Maybe he cared but our lives couldn't line up. Or at least maybe he remembers fondly our short-lived passion for him. I know this song is about her being "dirty" and her sex appeal but it just opened my mind to the impact a back stage girl could maybe have. But I mostly know better.
Girl.....
I feel you and your correct. Maybe Diana was dirty to Michael in his mind ,because he knew how they was together. Plus it seems she was popular with other musicians and the thought of her hanging with others ,beyond his perring 👀 probably sent the brain in the wrong spin cycle🤣. Waiting back stage ,especially if you have that "look" 🥰is the smartest thing to do 🙂? Back stage passes and tickets free and a hello sometimes within a crowd 👋. Diana and Michael should have called their relationship "Complicated" . He was at home a place he didn't want to be ,he needed more privacy. She lived alone and she knew it was hard for them to part from each other ,especially doing mating season.🤣 They trap each other in their ❤️👀💯. Dirty Diana is really all the things she did to him. So in his mind he can not imagine ,sharing those exp without him? I'll be your everything if you make me a star. "Diana Ross" is a Icon a "superstar" . She do not wait back stage for anyone. So this is not about the "Queen D". So when Diana says I will be your everything if you make me a star. Even though subconsciously that is a part Michael threw in there.? I will give you everything you want and all of me if you make me a star. Michael sees that as a form of blackmail 🤣🤣. Really if she wanted to be a star. She hung around all the top musicians she would have been had a start? Michael loved D.Diana ,because she was "Dangerous" she "Rock His World" ,kept him "Working Day And Night" ;even when she was "Out Of His Life" and he was wondering "Who Is It"? Between them both there are many secrets they " Keeping In The Closet". DaDADADA 🤣. So "Dirty Diana" was not "Bad" ,she just inspired Michael to release his true being. Only she could take his "Blues Away" and give him real "Butterflies " 🤗😁 #MichaelJacksonReborn❤️
Happy nothing bad happened to you. But trust, they see all the women hanging on the same, disposable.
Michael Jackson ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
long live the king!
this was about Diana ross for sure. Michael was savvy with mystery and making people believe one thing and then telling 15 other people 3 different things. he loved illusion and mystery
Definitely about DR. “Dirty Diana nah, Dirty Diana aNah, dirty Diana aww He’s trying to say a rhyme which sounds similar to Ross without saying Ross. Little hidden gems. She hurt him badly and he responded the best way he could.
Michael. Maguinifico ❤
Wrong, the song is about Diana Ross. Quincy Jones wouldn't know what the song is about unless MJ told him what it was about, in which Mike gave Quincy a lie that it was about groupies. He even says Diana mama" during the live version, he use to call Diana "mama". Secondly MJ loved Diana till his dying day, not only when he was younger, this is why he brought her up during the Oprah interview saying she could quench his desire, and left het in his Will. Come on, the song even had het name in it, and he wrote the minute she left him.
My favorite song no capp
1:35 MJ
2:33 Dirty Dianna
we didnt hear much about the groupie it was written about.
it's about several types of bad groupies that all tried to hit on Michael/ etc
You'll never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been here times before
But I was too blind to see
That you seduce every man
This time you won't seduce me 🔥
FFDP should cover this
Let's just say M.J. istened to She's Just A Groupie - Bobby Nunn then got the bright idea to do the same song, a bit slower and put Dirty Diana on the track.
Im.still waiting for someone like him
So has anyone ever paid close attention to the ending ad lib vocals of Dirty Diana? I'm i the only that think or particularly knows that it sounds like he is saying "Come motherfucker, come motherfucker come motherfucker Come on"
My favourite song of MJ!
Also The Weeknd made his version of this song. Check it out...
Plagiarists
@@AC_Milan1899 It's called a cover genius
About Diana ross?
Yep
i personally believe it is
💔 I’m sorry wack pack
Jackson and the girl who played Dirty Diana started hanging out but once the colonel got wind of it he had her canned ,,, I see the interview to her cry and she should have married Michael Jackson
My favorite MJ song
Idk I will always think it’s about Diana Ross…idk…I forget which Grammy it was but Diana was hugged up and kissing on a bunch of other musicians…u could see how hurt Mike was.
It wasnt about groupies...it was about Diana Ross...Quincy Jones made up that story about it being about groupies to detour public opinion about the song being about Diana Ross
this is the only correct answer
Somethings wrong because Michael said he did not have enough time to add the song to the list when Diana was there
2020mj4eva🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤💯💯💯💯
King mj 😘
Still the fav ❤❤
Let's not forget to mention that he didn't attend Diana Ross' wedding. He backed out at the last minute.
I love dirty diana..
how is no one talking about how sexy his outfit is
