I think if people say they loved Michael Jackson as an entertainer and performer, then fine. He is probably the most influential entertainer and performer of my generation for sure... but I think his contribution to music is being overstated. I'm not saying it's not there, but just that it's not everything it is promoted as being.

You say this like music and entertainment are mutually exclusive, when in fact they are inextricably linked.
