What is the source for the assertion that Jackson wrote the lyrics for "Man in the Mirror?" The song is always credited "written and composed by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett"--whatever "written" (lyrics?) and "composed "(music?) means. Regardless, Jackson is not credited as a songwriter for this track, ever--on the Bad album, in the music publishing, or anywhere. So what's the story with Jackson supposedly writing the lyrics?
Notice under "Credits" it says "Written and composed by Siedah Garret and Glen Ballard" - I suggest any credit to Jackson be deleted with regard to this song. [unsigned]
Do we want a section listing covers? One I am listening to at the moment is by Texas Lightning a German, Country & Western band. JP Godfrey 13:00, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
What is the meaning to the lyrics of this song? What inspired this song? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.92.19.237 (talk) 13:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
I think the Moonwalker clip featuring the song should be noted in the article. You know, the beggining of the film, which shows a concert from the Bad World Tour and also showing some historical clips. BrowndRemastered 13:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
What does the "shamo" mean that Jackson says in this song and several others? CFLeon (talk) 23:22, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
In many of MJ's concerts when he sings Man in the Mirror,when the back chorus goes "Yeah! Make that change... Man in the mirror", MJ often says something like "Gendemenemaner", usually followed with some "You know it"s. Can someone tell me what he is saying? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.69.63 (talk) 00:17, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
"many were struck-en to see if they were genuine tears", what does that mean? 92.238.128.101 (talk) 18:11, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
This article contains next to no information about the song itself. What are the lyrics about, what is the musical style and structure, etc.? AJD (talk) 15:31, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
