I know for me it's been years since I've thought of Michael Jackson as anything but depressing. Even if he didn't molest those kids, he was still a total trainwreck; he made the rest of the Jacksons look normal.
If you can make Jermaine Jackson look normal, you've made a handful of bad decisions.
That said, watching footage of a 25 year-old MJ light-it-up is pretty fucking amazing. It serves as a reminder that entire universe of pop-and-lock choreography was defined in about 4 minutes by a small-black-man 25 years-ago.
Justin Timberlake, eat your heart out.

Full disclosure: I took break-dancing lessons when I was 8 and had a red winter jacket that I would wear when I danced to the Beat It video. Don't judge me
Saw a t-shirt that read 'mj died years ago'. bout sums it up.
