I just read a blog where someone candidly admitted they really did not like his music, and that he was not as influencial as people are saying.
Michael Jackson was an excellent singer and dancer, but, he was not a songwriter or arranger.

who is someone??? i'm sure a lot of people didn't care for his music. hell, i'm an old deadhead and i know millions hated the dead's music, but it was special to me. to say he wasn't influencial is ridiculous! also, i called mj one of the greatest entertainers of my lifetime. elvis and frank sinatra were not great songwriters or arrangers but i don't think anyone can deny they were great entertainers. as for david bowie, yes, he is a great creative mind, but in my opinion, half of his albums weren't very good. anyways, i appreciate your comments lucas.
