He did nothing for pop music, except underscore the cliches a little more.
He did nothing for dance, except take what was already happening in urban America and blast it on a big screen.
We do not know if he was a pedophile or not - everything got settled out of court so we will never know.
At the same time, he did give to charity. A lot.
But did he bring anything new to the table? I'm sorry, but he did not.

Although not an innovater, he was a multi-decade, multi-generational music superstar that had a one top single after another for decades on end.
