(6,154 posts)I guess I'll have to vote for Michael Jackson. I'm not usually a fan of the super stars of music, I tend to like one song or two here and there but I tend not to care for their personalities. But Michael really was that good. Then there's his whole personal life, eww.

(153,160 posts)you hate that you actually love the singer; for example, I love Neil Diamond even though he doesn't fit with my description of myself as a sold rock 'n roll type of gal

Ok, OK... I thought of one. Blake Shelton. Not knowing who he was, I thought I would hate him. I was so wrong!

(10,893 posts)would be Kenny G. A while ago, I posted one of his songs ("We've Saved the Best for Last" on a musical thread in the DateHookup forums once, and some idiot called me "gay" just for posting it. I like a lot of Kenny G's work (and jazz in general), but most people around my age don't seem to share that appreciation for the genre. All I mostly hear people playing in their cars is watered-down mainstream hip-pop and r&b songs about going to clubs and boasting about how much they get laid.
