I TOTALLY AGREE, i will explain it, Michael was too damn TALENTED, just too DAMN much, noone can come near him and thast exactly what people in music and critics in music are afraid of, they fear other artists cant be as good as phenomenal as Michael Jackson,
people (fans/friends of other musicians who are in the media know this very well, and they know that even though Prince is awesomely good, he does not come near Michael Jackosn, not even a bit, Michael did not needed to go everywhere saying "oh i play this and that and that, and everything", Michael did NOT feel the need to show it cause he was DAMN GENIUS at the level of REAL geniuses of MUSIC like Mozart,
you know, Mozart was belittle for a long time even after he died, he was a rebel, he didnt went with the flow, he was damn talented musician, he died young and for a long time he was still not recognised for his unearthly musical skills, people at the time were afraid that Mozart's tremendous talent will overshadow the ones of the alive ones,
its like a fear of not beeig able to be as good as Mozart, and in this case like Michael Jackson, see with Michael, you see thousand of imitators but they only imitate his dance moves, they dont ever sing, they dont write the music, they dont produce, they are just like the IMAGE of Michael the phisical Michael,
people in the media will continue to belittle Michael Jackson, as well as many other artists will as well, they are afraid, see, i knew Prince first cause i was born after Thiller, but in a no very special occasion i knew Michael's music, and forget it, i said: OH MY GOD! look at that guy! and Prince was there, but left aside... And thats exactly what people belittling Michael think... is simple, as simple as that. They will not credit Michael cause they know thyey cant be as good as him, you know, he was the only real last genius, it will take at least 100 years to find another one... sadly... Geniuses are very very very few...
its sad that they do this, but it happened to Mozart, what will not happen to Michael...
