I knew he had to be on this list! He's amazing! This is truly one of the best songs on the list, I love it! Michael was by no means a molester or any other thing he was acused of. He was a gentle, pure human being.If a teenager such as myself could see that, adults should too. R.I.P.!

He's always going to be a polarizing figure though. He had an incredible talent, but sadly, I think people will remember him as much for his wacky off stage shennanigans, as much as for his music. He was a bit like Elvis though, wasnt he? Loads of hangers on and very few friends. =(

as sick as we may feel michael is or was... i still blame parents for leaving there children in the custody of an adult that has the reputation he earned long before the last incident... the boy/man as a performer will always be numero uno for those who loved to dance.

Michael still gets people of ALL ages up on their feel dancing. Let the past stay where it belongs. They "alledged" alledgations against him never were revealed - let them die. He's a real true talented musician and always will be. Leave the man alone to let him perform and make people happy to enjoy his music. THRILLER was the best!!!! Video and song. GO Michael - my family will always be your biggest fans.

I think his best line, of course maybe his most dillusional also was when he said" I didnt have sex with those little boys"
