How do you feel about Michael Jackson?

[Korb]

I mean,he's the most famous,most accomplished man to ever live in the world of music. The King of Pop.

I don't want to believe the stories about his inappropriate activities with children are true but unfortunately I don't think we will ever know for sure. I hope they are not as I love so much of his music and am deeply inspired by his messages of love,acceptance and world peace.

[Korb]

Also these poll options are shady and passive aggressive and I will NOT participate in that ,sis

[Style.]

Like MJ doctors, this thread is killing me.

He's a legend but all the tabloidy stuff that surrounds him is hard to separate from his music 

Jordan, hun, the allegations against him are not just "tabloidy." Britney's life was ruined by tabloids. Michael ruined other  people's (read: minors') lives.

He's arguably the greatest performer, with the best discography, the most legendary career, the most celebrity interest, and the most adoring and committed fans, but he ruined it. He should not be celebrated. It's an important message to send.

I don't think the validity of the accusations are up for debate...

[Fenixxx123]

He's the greatest artist of all time

[Baronesse]

I don't care about him, obviously I have heard his most popular songs as a kid, but if anything I found them kind of annoying. He means nothing to me. 

I don't find it hard to believe he was a child ******** though, I have no doubt most people in entertainment have dark secrets like that.

[PickleSpears]

He's one of the few actual geniuses that existed in music. His music is incredible and a lot of his videos and performances are legendary. I watched the doc and it was really sad. He clearly had issues. But it doesn't change his music and I can separate it.

[TheySayImCrazy18]

I Don’t Really Like Male Artists.  But, I Can’t Deny That He’s A Legend.  But, He’s Not My Cup Of Tea. 

[TheySayImCrazy18]

I DO Think He Was A Child ********, Part Of The Reason I Don’t Like Him.  But, That’s A Story For A Different Day. 

[Groundbreaking]

INNOCENT and The King of Pop.

They aren't , sorry if it came across as shady 

 

[PokemonSpears]

I think he was a music genius, yet I don't LOVE all of his songs, but the songs I like from him, I DO like them a lot.

Remember when Britney gave him that random award at the VMA's and he thought it was the Artist of the Millennium award, and people made fun of him? Well, I think it's kinda funny because I believe he was the artist of the millennium, at least 'artist' within what the VMA's celebrate (or used to), not counting classical music, etc.

I think however, he was a weird person, even if not all the crimes he was accused of were true, but that must've been most likely because of his childhood. So I'm not a huge fan of him, as a person, like I am a Britney fan, but to me it's separate from his artistry.

I don't think he's overrated. The Beatles, THEY are too overrated, but the world isn't ready for that conversation

[Otaner]

None of your favorite pop stars would be here if it wasn’t for MJ... every pop girl tries to emulate Madonna and Madonna tried emulating MJ, therefore he is the father of Pop. He may be overrated and such, but he birthed pop and thats on PERIOD. 

[CaulkDestroyer]

I've always thought he was super HOT since I was a kid! He's the KING! I think he's the reason I find BTS so hot! They have the same feminine yet manly charm! MJ could get it any day of the week! R.I.P. baby  

[Isla]

I like some of his songs and recognise him as one of the most successful and influential musicians to have ever lived. But I feel like the Leaving Neverland documentary and the accusations made against him has tainted his legacy. I never know what to believe. Either way, I can't help but feel he was somewhat misunderstood.

[Fenixxx123]

like or not

pe do or not

he will remain as the King Of Pop. The most famous artist of all time

 

[EarlyMornin']

None of those options really fits my feelings for him.

He created some of the best pop music of all time, as well as iconic music videos/performances. I find it no trouble at all to seperate his music from the tabloid stuff because I didnt know him obviously and nobody has proven anything to be true. So therefore I enjoy his music while ignoring all the accusations and rumors 

[Exaholic]

The thing about Michael Jackson is no matter what you think about him personally, nobody can deny that he made some of the best music and music videos of all time and influenced probably 90% of the artists that have followed after him.

[Sea flower]

He was really gifted as musician. I was a big fan of him growing up... but to be honest, after so many scandals and watching Leaving Neverland. I am not anymore, something smells really bad and now when i hear his music i have a very bad feeling.
