I seldom listen to other acts. I am very picky about everything. The fact that I am a Michael Jackson fan is the main reason. He made me so picky because he's so picky as well. I do have songs other than Michael's that I love of course. However, I quickly turn back to MJ looking for excitement and to enjoy his genius. I've tried so many times to be a fan of other artists, but every time I take a look at someone else, they only remind me of how much better MJ really is! MJ is on a level of his own and that is not just because he's a genius, but because he values his name. He won't put his name on just any thing. The product must be worthy. It's about quality and not quantity. That's why he's the beacon of the music business in modern times and the fascinating phenomenon that he is. However, he tortured us, his fans, because he'd make us wait for too long to get something new from him, but always worth the wait. Being an MJ fan is both the most rewarding and toughest ever. It requires such patience.
