I think what Drew did with Billie Jean was great and creative, and I think Michael would have been proud. I am tired of people assoicating MJ with merely dancing. He was a creative artist capable of many things and always looking for something different, that did not always include the moon walk. One of the most haunting and beautiful Michael Jackson songs I have ever heard performed was Human Nature by John Mayer, at the Jackson Memorial, with merely an acoustic guitar. He showed that even without the hype, the one glove and the dancers Michael Jackson was and always will be great. Good for you Simon, great decision, and Drew you will be a star.
