I'd probably agree that Michael Jackson is a bit overrated. He made some brilliant pop music in the late 70s and early 80s, but almost everything after then has been crap. Furthermore, most of this best stuff was neither written nor produced by him, so his credit is mainly as a great singer and dancer. All well and good, but someone like Justin Timberlake can sing and dance well too, and he isn't hailed like MJ is. A lot if it has to do with nostalgia. |
im not someone who grew up with mjs music. i was introduced to it much later and long after hed been hailed as the king of pop. probably when he felt the most backlash in the media. add to this, timberlake's stuff is pretty much the music of my youth, yet I can spot the drastic difference in talent. at best justin is an immitator.
jackson also wrote quite a bit of his own stuff. billie jean, which is widely considered his crowning achievement, was written and co-produced by him.
