        Okay, the outrage at Smith is stupid, but what's more stupid is news outlets who take these few comments they found online and make them into a whole article.

        I appropriate MJ’s talent but I never liked his songs. Sue me. He’s far from the greatest musicians of all time, IMO.

        Don’t get me wrong. MJ was an amazing talent but I never got into him. He was a great entertainer.. no one can argue that. I’ve just liked different forms of music. Live and let live.

        This is so dumb. Smith is allowed to not like MJs singing. Steph Mills needs to mind her own business.

        Just for the record, I love MJ’s music, big fan...in his later years, he appears to have been a good family man...but how many children accused him of inappropriate actions? We will never know the truth of the allegations, but we can still respect his music!

        Its not disrepectful. Micahel Jackson did not write or preform ALL the music throughout history..everyone has a right to express themselves.

        So we are not allowed to: make jokes that people may take the wrong way, have differing political opinions and now have differing music taste. 2 words. First word 4 letters, second word 3 letters. First word starts with F. Second words starts with y.
