    Fun fact: just a minute before this performance Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie were trying to sell a cd collection on a TV ad with "over three hundred cds and over three hundred songs all about thrillers. And who can ever forget that 1930's Michael Jackson hit..."

But he has released R&B music, I’ve heard some of it on the R&B stations of Sirius XM. He was great on that episode of Chapelle Show years ago.

      @@carstarsarstenstesenn I get where you're coming from. Personally I think he's well known because of many things:
      He adressed real problems whether about love song or war song, God gave him the ability to connect with others through music.
      People loved watching him grow from when he was just 6 singing ABC to Ben to Off the wall to Thriller to Bad to Dangerous to History to Blood on the dance floor to Invincible to This is it to Xscape...
      People loved his terrific dance moves from Moonwalking to the leg kick to the crotch grab to The Anti gravity lean to the MJ spin with toe stand to the robot dance....
      His music videos were not ordinary he came up with brilliant stories and people love seeing new things...
      Due to all of the above, people were interested in his life so when his skin condition started getting worse, he gained even more popularity cause all the talk was about how The once black man became white...
      He left people in awe when he built the famous Neverland surrounded by zoo, candy, carousels....
      Whether you like him or not, people liked the humanitarian in him, no one can deny that MJ provided a lot to charities...
      By now he was very well known around the world BUT sadly this fame turned on him when all people lied about him for money he wrote (Money) about it, tabloids sold his fake news because people like to hear what happened to the ABC kid. He wrote (tabloid junkie) about it , people abandoned him because the lies were louder than his testimonies he wrote (stranger in Moscow) about it , people made fun of his face that became pale due to vitiligo and skinny due to skin disorder he wrote (is it scary for you) about it, he was bashed by everybody acting like a kid he wrote (childhood) about it.
      All that is the (Price of fame) he wrote about it.
      So yea he deserves at least some credit for his success and fame.
      Fame for Michael was a blessing and hell at the same time.

I was only familiar with him from Whose Line, before. Stellar start. I feel like the guts and skill it takes to do that show just gives him permanent credibility, in my mind. Live improv comedy and improvisational music, at that? That should get him through the door for anything, and I'd love to see him in anything.

      Setting aside the other discussions, one way or the other, Michael Jackson was famously generous when dealing with parodies and covers of his music. Some artists even received copies of his original scores at direction of Michael, once he found out they were working on some derivation of parody of his music. So I think he'd enjoy this, yes.
