love him or hate him.. you know damn well he had the best music out there and still does.. so if you got something good or bad to say.. then go right ahead i was just stating my opionon...
As a musician he was great. As a person he was sketchy at best. But the guy had no real childhood to speak of. Right from the womb to the microphone. That can't be healthy.
Anyway, I'm not a fan of a lot of the things he did. He did a lot of really stupid, messed-up stuff (like dangling the kid over the balcony) but overall he was one of the greatest singers and greatest dancers ever, and he really revolutionized those fields. I don't consider it fair to call him a musician in the traditional sense because he wrote almost none of the lyrics/music himself - he was a performer, and an amazing one.
