but it does, for a lot of people.

i feel they'll get the same treatment as george michael
people are so focused on the sales and the popularity, that often times... they forget to mention that
george michael's "faith" was a great album... and album that had a sound that he built from the ground up, producing the tracks, writing the songs, and playing most of the instruments on the album.
and the songs are just fantastic.
in a way, it's also similar to the way people don't really give MJ the credit he desserves as a songwriter or a singer...
people are so focused on the popularity of the songs and the great stage performances/ videos that the fact that he's one of the greatest ARTISTS of all time.
sometimes success makes your artistic contributions an afterthought.
