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.
