Michael Jackson: Legend or Looney?

For the past decade, Michael Jacksons wacky public life has taken centre stage to his incredibile musical ability.
So what do you think?
Is MJ a legend or a looney?

Well I still think he's a legend, no matter what his music is and always will be awesome!

Legend in music and looney outside of his music... and a bit weird with his clothing style and his dance moves in video clips.

How can he be neither? He is definitely not normal - I think everyone would agree with that.

Doesn't mean he's a looney. He can be neither if you don't believe his music was legendary, and if you don't think he is a looney.

I guess its just the definition. Most people would agree he has produced some great music but does that constitute him being a "legend".

Same principle goes with being a "looney" and if he fits that definition.

He's more on the Looney side from my perspective but I voted Legend in Music, Looney in Life

Legend in Music, Looney in Life is the easy way out in my opinion, because that seems to be mostly everyone's opinion of him. But Legend or Looney is a more revealing choice.
