Well, as it says, there can be posts about sex, drugs, politics, and rock and roll, so I chose to do the latter....
So what are everyone's feelings about him? Is he still somewhat talented? Did the younger members even know he was a singer?
Personally, I think he surrounds himself with too much outside drama to succeed as an artist anymore (perhaps that's why i'm hearing why his newest album is his favorite Scottish poetry set to music, MJ style...



). On the other hand, for a "celebrity", at least Michael shuts up and keeps quiet about political causes and whatnot, unlike so many people in Hollywood.
This outside drama has certainly affected what his music is like (compare "Invincible"' to "Thriller", "Bad", or even "Dangerous", and you see what I mean...it's gone from the stuff of legend to merely something adequate...something an American Idol winner would cover). Maybe if Michael could get the big picture and find out that it's about the music, not how he looks on stage (or acts off of it). It's not all about him or his nose, or his John Kerry chin.
Just as long as he NEVER EVER EVER does a video or song like "You Are Not Alone" again! Way too creepy! (the "HIStory" album, where he basically does a song in the late Barry White's genre...and this was in 1993)
