I need to detach the man from the artist. I feel like I need to address the elephant in the room and point out the pedophilia allegations that surround him.

Some may say he was guilty. Others will say he didn't do it, he was victim of opportunist parents and that he was a child at heart because of his messed up childhood.

I don't have a definitive answer to whether those allegations were true or not, to me all those allegations are a big question mark.

I detach the man from the artist and I must say I love and respect his music. He was a man in control of his music and genre defining composer. Current Pop artists are pretty much remixing things MJ did back in the day with their music.

My favorites: Billie Jean, White or Black (possibly the first song from him I can remember from childhood), Human Nature, Beat It.

Crazy remix and dance video of Beat It:

One simple question, if you were a parent of a sexually abused child, would you settle for money knowing the molester is out there living his life fully?
