But not everyone who is a good entertainer is a good musician. Half of what pop stars do is not music, but a means to sell music.

Clearly Micheal Jackson was a good musician. Again, I am only disagreeing with those that think he is the single most influention musician ever. He certainly influenced the way music is sold and marketed more than anyone else though. IMO, his record sales point to that fact more then they point to the quality of the product.
