It’s sort of humorous reading people here attempting to downplay Jackson’s standing in the entertainment industry. His accomplishments in the music industry speak for themselves, really.
No question that MJ was a marketing phenomenon.
It is funny, isn’t it? A lot of these posters are fueled by something other than a dislike for his music. Most of them are feeding the wrong wolf. For those of you who are in denial of his place in history a little investigation will reveal what I’m talking about.
I don't see why anyone would downplay his standing in the entertainment industry. In fact, his standing in the entertainment industry says more about the entertainment industry than anything else.
But for the life of me, I have no idea what his "accomplishments" were.
I agree. A lot of posts like “Michael Jackson couldn’t hold a candle to the Andrews Sisters!” “It was all Quincy Jones” “It was all marketing”.
If Michael Jackson had been a republican the same people would be praising him to the stars...
