All your personal issues with the man are yours and not in dispute. I think a big difference here is that MJ was a musical virtuoso, not just a singer and showman.
Only two and one co-written on Off the Wall and three and one co-written on Thriller (although they are bangers). He did write most of Bad but anything outside of that is imo sub-par. I’m not denying he had a lot of talent but I think he’s far from a virtuoso.
Not trolling. I don’t find his solo work without Quincy Jones that exceptional. Granted the Jones stuff is amazing but Michael wasn’t able to replicate that on his own.

Was he virtuoso though? I feel like his best work was with Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton and without them he was just meh.
Yes, look into the man. He composed a shitload of his music.

Lol right. Give me a god damned break! You can’t be serious, you’re trolling, or genuinley know nothing of music.
