Music in order to be good has to stimulate one's mind as well as one's heart. Jackson’s music does not fit this criteria. It is just pop music which I do not find at all appealing.

For MJ, there are three made for TV movies and plenty of documentaries, and as for Amy, just plenty of documentaries. Not to mention, there's also going to be a miniseries about her which I don't see the point because it's the same story. I'm sure that Jaafar Jackson(MJ’s nephew) and Marisa Abela will do a good job at playing MJ and Amy respectively, what more can you say about them that hasn't already been said?
