I mean I just Googled him and apparently he's some R&B singer who's been arrested due to alleged paedophilia. Haven't heard any of his music and not going to as it's not my genre.

Taylor Swift *is* better than Michael Jackson, though. And I like a few MJ songs.

Best singer; best musical act; tomayto tomahto; banana pyjama. Bottom line is MJ is a million times better than half of the people on the list. Avril Lavigne had what, two mediocre "hit" songs before she got buried in some bloke's back yard never to be heard from again? Taylor Swift, who I adore, hasn't quite reached gold status yet either. She could blow away all of her modern-day contempories - Camilla Cabello, Justin strawberry floatin Bieber, and yes even Shawn Mendes - but compared to the classics, she's like a little girl who just walked out of her kindergarten princess play session.
Calling Avril Lavigne a better musical act than Michael Jackson is like saying Aaron Carter is a better musical act than David Bowie.
Calling Taylor Swift a better musical act than Michael Jackson is like saying Kate Middleton is the best Queen Consort the UK has ever had.

MJ was a brilliant musician with awful people around him and awful problems in his personal life.
Doubt anyone would be able to face high-profile, televised court cases accusing them of child molestation and walk away with loads of money. The people who accused him of doing that killed him long before Dr Conrad Murray did ... and now one of the accusors is being celebrated on British television in the new X Factor

You should have nominated R Kelly as well.

Literally who?

It’s an eliminator - we aren’t voting for the best anything, just for the person we want to go out on any given day. So it doesn’t matter how much talent MJ had, if people vote him out in 99th place, then he’ll go out in 99th place.

Guess that's fair. First time doing an eliminator.

Don't you come walkin' beggin' back mama

Really happy Avril's gotten a couple of votes this round. She was good for her two songs but what the hell, she's just a dumb blonde. Since she's been gone, no one has been missing her.
