I have to admit that I have mixed feelings towards this...on the otherhand I'm like OMG, he died he was a legend and music industry mammoth etc...on the other I'm like..meh, whatever...
But like many have pointed out, you cant deny his talent, achievements and influence on the music industry...but neither can you deny his way over the top personality, more than odd lifestyle choices and overall "weirdness" of the guy... to be politically correct
... not to mention his personall preferences that were just wrong...
Nevertheless, he was one of the greatest in music and I doubt that no one is going to top that...controversial or not...
...so rest in peace Michael...
