Oddly, the production of Mike's body of work is what has made me a fan. Listening to his songs, you can hear him nearly pouring all of his talents into a song. Production meaning, the instrumentation, the technique(s) in his singing, the lyrics, arrangement, etc.
Janet, well it goes without saying. :lol: Janet's music, and her as a person, has taught me sooooo much. From the importance of an education, not caring what ppl say, being aware of your surroundings, never settling, etc. Janet will always be #1 to me, and Mike will always be the close second.
