No one else is even close to his dominance quite amazing

MJ was corny to me in all aspects of entertainment other than his slow songs but he was one of the most caring and altruistic humanitarians in history. thats why he gets a pass for being a pedo. fukk u bitches who want to dog him when all those abused mf'ers were clearly after his money.

its really sad to me how MJ ended up vilified when he probably had the biggest heart of any rich human being in history.

and a horrible human being

In terms of being an artist(dancing,music videos) etc he's certainly among the best.

But in terms of being a musician....he isn't even top 50.

and a horrible human being

Horrible humans don't donate a combined $350,000,000 to charities, spend countless hours visiting hospitals and giving presents to sick people, or write songs like "Heal The World" "Earth Song" or "Man in the Mirror". Michael Jackson was a great person. He was just extremely misunderstood.

Name someone who wrote more hits.

His compositions are incredible.

His compositions are incredible.

He hardly did any compositions....much of his lyrics were written for him...all he had to do was go out and sing and dance.


Oh yeah,Beatles sold more albums than Mj....think Gareth brook,Elvis did too
