I liked his dance moves and his music during this Thriller days. But as he got older in the 90's he got stranger. At the time of his death, I felt that he was too weird for my tastes. I don't believe he molested any children, but I do think the media frenzy over that likely pushed him over the edge to the point that he had love/hate relationship with the media.
He hated the media for what they had done to his image as a celebrity, but he also knew that he needed the media to keep his name out there and to try to make more money, although we all know he was over 400 million dollars in debt when he died.
