Again, not bashing MJ, just setting record straight on folks claiming "MJ was a musicial genius" in the media. Thats what this threads about, not detracting from MJs acomplishments as celeb.

I have not seen a single article mention the actual song writers lol just "MJ was a god"
Welcome to the MTV Generation.

Think outside the box. Imagine Thriller sung by Lionel Ritchie or Sting. would never of worked. Quincey Jones might of written it, Michael Jackson delivered it. And that's what made it unique.
