re: Do people still respect Michael Jackson as a musician and person

He was a good dancer, and a good singer. I don't think he was great at either. He had a great production team and marketing team. Quincy Jones is very talented, and I think Michael Jackson gets a lot of credit for his work. Thriller isn't my favorite kind of music, but it is an undeniable classic of the 80's.

As for the child molestation thing, I think that it is very possible that he didn't molest those kids. I think he was strange enough to think that it was normal to play like a child with little kids. I don't think it was necessarily sexual. I wouldn't feel comfortable with any of my young family members alone with him or anything. I'm just saying that I wasn't there, and I don't know.
