Musically, I'd wish he was more authentic. Polish and showmanship can only take you so far. I think the closest you got to the real MJ was his Billy Jean. He was a real innovator. Those long form videos. His dance moves. And he could sing. His follow-up albums were not innovative nor had edge. Look to Usher and Justin Timberlake to see where MJ could have taken R&B and pop.
A sad and twisted end.
With all due respect without Michael Jackson you probably would not have JT & Usher doing what they're doing today. MJ came out with things that were unheard of. He was an innovator. Sure 30 years later is seems watered down because everyone has copied it in different forms. Actually, USHER has a MJ dance he did that was a total tribute to him as his influence.
As for the life he lived. It is easy to look at someone that everyone admires and think "He had it all". But I think he was such a victim of his child abuse and his parents who forced their kids into the spotlight that he was tormented. Just because you have talent and money doesn't mean you have it all. I don't think he ever found what he wanted in life.
I know one thing... Wierd Al Yankovich owes a lot to MJ!
