It is. Not by much though. The “lean” is badass. Crazy knowing he never had a dance lesson in his life

Whichever video of his is the best, it would be considered for the tallest midget award.
When you look up the definition of overrated people in the music industry (notice I didn't use the word MUSICIAN), you will see Michael Jackson's face.
And this is coming from a guy who WORE OUT that Thriller album (cassette) in the summer of 1983 as a 13 yo. As I got older and listened to others, I realized ole Mike wasn't all that and a pouch of hand wipes.
In a preemptive response for any defenders of his, imagine Mike's career if Quincy Jones never existed.

Imagine MOST pop musicians (and especially country musicians) without outside help.
Michael was a hall of fame entertainer and a solid enough singer to make the most of the songs and talents that aligned with him. Thriller is a freaking great album. Pop music no longer comes with the variety and musical chops that record did.

Well, not all of it, because part was surgically removed.

Quincy Jones was a master, but
Jackson had astonishing talent and
was pretty damned good with Motown. He would have been a star, regardless.
I’m not considering his private messed up life. He had serious problems.

I'm talking from the standpoint of PURE MUSICIANSHIP.
I realize he sold a GAZILLION records, and is probably tied with Elvis Presley as the most famous entertainer ever. Hell, neither of those guys could stick their head out of a car window and not get mobbed.
To my knowledge, Mike didn't play a single instrument (and I don't consider holding a guitar while singing and barely playing it) like some "musicians" do. Please, please, correct me if I'm wrong about that.
Once again, I played Thriller CONSTANTLY in the summer of 1983, mostly on my walkman. I can still sing (not well) every note and voice inflection of any part of any song on that record.

Michael wrote and arranged 4 songs on Thriller and numerous others throughout his career. He was proficient on piano, but because he was a frontman from a very young age, it was never necessary for him to become a world class instrumentalist. He spent that time becoming one of the best dancers, singers and performers of all time.
He was notorious for writing and arranging his songs including instruments all in his head…….
Michael didn't use instruments for his songwriting and arranging process because his musical ear was so insane. Rob Hoffman, a sound engineer and assistant on the project "HIStory", describes how magical it was to watch Michael write and arrange songs.
“One morning, MJ came in with a new song he had written overnight. We called in a guitar player, and Michael sang every note of every chord to him. He would sing us an entire string arrangement, every part."
"Steve Porcaro once told me he witnessed MJ doing that with the string section in the room. Had it all in his head, harmony, and everything.
Not just little eight-bar loop ideas. He would actually sing the entire arrangement into a micro-cassette recorder complete with stops and fills."
Saying MJ wasn’t talented is one of the most asinine, brain dead things I’ve ever seen posted here. And that’s quite an accomplishment.

Both songs suck.
Does that matter?

Man in the Mirror - which is also his best song.
Fight me.
Fight me.

ITT we see a bunch of internet people who can barely play simple man on their acoustic fender guitars saying Michael Jackson sucks

I can't play ANY instrument, and never have claimed to. I also never said he sucks. He sold hundreds of millions of records, so he was obviously doing something right.
What I am saying is he was overrated and I'm not wrong about that.

Well, I guess he would only be a one time R&R Hall of fame inductee rather than two. And only the frontman and star of one of the biggest groups of all time.

You definitely implied he sucked and wasn’t talented. You said the videos would be the tallest midget. That he was the definition of overrated(moronic statement) and didn’t even give him the respect of calling him a musician, but a person in the music industry.
If you’re gonna make idiotic assertions, then at least have the balls to stand by them.

This might be the stupidest thing I've ever seen on this board, and that's saying a lot...
