I think the reasons people use to criticize Jackson as a musician are very dumb, especially when they bring up the child rape stuff, but also not giving him any credit as a songwriter, Billie Jean is his defining moment and
he wrote it, and also the Prince comparisons, Jackson not writing ALL his songs, not playing any instruments, etc, dumb crap. The kinda thing that should make every motown singer a talentless hack.
If you're gonna jump on Michael Jackson, at least let it be for the right reasons. Which is writing We Are The World, Heal the World and Earth Song. If THAT's why you hate Michael Jackson, then I can't blame you.
