I don't know about that.
All the weirdness and creepiness and craziness aside, he was a famous and talented "entertainer" before he was 10 years old. He wasn't old enough to know how to rip anyone off or even have a schtick. He was good at it like Wayne Gretzky was good at hockey.
Michael Jackson turned into a nut and (I believe) a criminal, but there warn't nobody better at the job when he was doing it.
Pete Rose, Mike Tyson and OJ Simpson were good at their job too.
