Personally i feel now that anyone who hates on Michael Jackson only does so because they believe the medias perception of him, and think that all there is to him is a child molestation court case and that he's a pervert. And completely overlook the last 40 years he has been making ground breaking music. And as much as they may not like to believe it, most of music today, of any genre, is influenced by MJ, and wouldnt be what it is today without his impression.
