I did not say people with Debt are worthless... I do not see how people can say he contributed so much to society...
Are we not bailing out banks because of people with debt?? Was there not just a thread here recently about how people who abused credit and had all this debt screwed up the economy?? Yet he is a hero? I dont get the double standards.

Yes we are the world is a great song and was a great thing however if you read the whole story behind it you can not say he was soley responsible. We Are the World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And Man in the mirror was not composed by him... so he cant take credit for that!

"The song was composed by Siedah Garrett (who can be heard singing in the background with Jackson) and Glen Ballard. Jackson added background vocals from Garrett, the Winans and the Andrae Crouch Choir, which gave the song its distinctive sound.

Arranged with a gospel choir, a year after David Bowie used the same device for "Underground", from the fantasy film Labyrinth, other popular artists at the time who had tracks featuring gospel choirs include Debbie Gibson, Guns N' Roses and Madonna for her 1989 number one hit "Like a Prayer". Siedah Garrett also sang on Jackson's "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" [1] and was one of the backing vocalists for Madonna's Re-Invention Tour of 2004 and performed a short solo during "Like a Prayer.""

If you scroll down you will see who it was written and composed by.
