Reply to comment by FullRollingBoil in Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ Returns To Billboard Top 10 After 38 Years by lightblue_sky
I just strolled through your profile and you like a lot of bands/artists that had things written for them or that stole it. So what's the difference with Jackson?

He’s nothing but an entertainer with a less than stellar voice. He’s no Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, etc

Funny, seeing as she performed songs of others. She even has one written by Jackson.

And she had an amazing voice singing it

But your argument was about jackson having others write for him which made him bad.

Jackson sings too, and writes.

No. He sings and writes. He wrote 4 out of the 9 songs in the Thriller album including Billie Jean and Beat it. Here is his demo for Beat it, it sounds almost like the released.
He's still a great singer and one of the best dancers/performer. If we are really out here measuring talent...the artists I saw on your profile also sing songs that others write and they don't dance as well as MJ.

I’m not paying a dime to see somebody dance.

Thats cool. Millions of other people would and did. MJ still writes and sings tho. I like how you switched from writing, to singing, to what you would pay to see. You took a sudden turn when someone called you out when they mentioned the artists you like also have their songs written for them. And you ignored my point about MJ writing a good portion of his songs.
Your comments seem like they're trying to dismiss an artist's talent. I think all artists mentioned should be appreciated for the talent they possess. If you don't feel they deserve your appreciation then put your energy into those you think deserve it. Why don't you summarize your point while you're here?

Cuz, I just like saying how overrated MJ is and seeing people flip out over it
(like you)
