where do you get your info from? Quincy disliked "Billy Jean" and wanted it omitted from "Thriller". Him and MJ had disagreements and then Jones said "fine, but you gotta change the name" since he thought people would think about Billy Jean King the tennis player. MJ refused, then Quincy wanted to shorten the intro drum beat, MJ refused. MJ created that song pretty much all on his own and it became the biggest hit off the album. He also wrote much of his own material and there were plenty of great pop/r&b songs on "Dangerous" and some great moments on "HIStory". The team of Quincy and MJ was a great one but together they created the best selling album of all time, it wasn't Quincy making it all happen and MJ was just there for the ride.
