i agree with the "business" comment you made, but not he "takes away the art" comment because i think music has become more of a "visual art" than an "aural skill" nowadays, music used to be about passion,feeling and energy(sometimes all at once), but IMO, today, it has become second to the "video".
look, there's very little wrong with Michael Jackson's material, but his 1980s video's set a precedent for all others to follow by making very visual video's to compliment very good songs, unfortunately i believe that the video's cost more to make than the songs today,thus more focus is put in the making of them....if you have a brilliant video you will sell a million singles, if you have a crappy video you'll barely make the top 40...a sad but true indictment on society IMO!
