All the videos released from “Bad” will air in the original order they were on the album .The special will present the videos in the original track order of the album: “Bad,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Speed Demon,” “Liberian Girl,” “Another Part of Me,” “Man in the Mirror,” “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” “Dirty Diana,” “Smooth Criminal,” and “Leave Me Alone.”
