No, no it's not.

Musicians make music, he sang and danced.

, singing is where u use your mouth to make music visavi making him a musican look it up if u dont belive me. Dont no why it bothers u so much, when u know its true that he is one of the greatest regardless if u liked him or not.

Dont tell me ur still upset that MTV put a black man on tv.

p.s. i know he is not black now but he was then.

I also don't get this hate towards him. You didn't like him? OK. why bring it up now that he's dead? Ha was a person and ''innocent untill proven otherwise'' still applies afaik.

If the system is corrupt, the people should do something. There are instruments allowing them to do so, they're written in the constitution. I'm talking about the US here.

Back to MJ. I didn't like his dancing either and I was not particularly fond of most of his work. But give ''Rock with you'' a listen and you'll see he was actually quite good.

Michael Jackson inspired many.

His Thriller album, produced by Quincy Jones, is the inspiration for the modern Music Video, simply because the Thriller video is unique, and demonstrated how to use the film makers art to boost a song's appeal.

Wacko Jacko peaked at Thriller, but he still went on to make a number of influential songs that people still hum today.

He did get some bad publicity of his child abuse allegations, yet nothing substantial has ever been disclosed. Unlike the likes of Gary Glitter, who has served time for this derogatory behaviour, nothing substantial has ever been presented.

Many people, like myself, feel that Jacko was, indeed, trying to relive his childhood. We all know the story of how his father would beat him if he didn't perform perfectly, and how his own childhood was stolen from him, so it's no surprise to discover that he wanted to relive the days stolen from him.

It is often said that true geniuses have some sort of mental instability (there is a thin line between genius and insanity, as I well know), and his was that he found it difficult to converse with other adults. He was very much the child he should have been, and has never grown up. Anyone who watched the interview with Martin Bashir will remember how child like Jacko was.

I don't think that Michael Jackson really found happiness. I think that he was tormented throughout his life, which was made worse by money grabbing parents out to make a fast buck from someone who was a child at heart.

Sorry i must disagree, he just added to a genre.

~~edit: although he did create the moonwalk, but that was also a add on to a genre of dance.~~

You're comparing Michael Jackson's influence on music to The Beatles.

He made fucking music videos. It's not a case of whether people like his music or not, it was just over-hyped pop pish. He didn't even play on them ffs, like the man said a singer and a dancer. He was basically a variety act.
