Any passing is sad. And I can appreciate his talent. But I find it amusing that on social

Media he is being touted as some sort of pop genius, while I only recall him being mocked while he was famous back in the day.

 

Typical "building someone up right after they died" kind of stuff. Michael had a great voice and wrote some great songs, but calling him a genius is definitely a major stretch.

You could say this about Rush. Sure they are media and critical darlings now, but they've been abused most of their career. It doesn't diminish their talent though.

I heard someone say the other day he should have gotten the Queen gig. If he had, I am pretty sure people would have been KILLING them for choosing the dude from Wham!
