Yes, of course he can, but people are upset because Sam isn't just talking about Dua Lipa or Camilla Cabello. He's talking about one of the most talented and biggest selling artists on the planet who still has millions of fans who still idolise him and respect his contribution to music. MJ was a major force - still is (9 years after death). He sits up there alongside The Beatles, Elvis and Madonna, so to say "Human Nature" was a good song (As if it's his ONLY good song) would be a bit hard to swallow...especially coming from someone as Vanilla as Sam.

MJ isn't untouchable, neither are the other artists you mentioned. They might be ~legendary in the music scene, but that doesn't mean that people can't dislike them. I would take Sam's music over MJ's or of those others aaaany day. It's just personal preference.

I never said they were untouchable, Caprimint. Music lovers are perfectly within their rights to dislike whomever they choose, but a lot of people just disregard these legends without listening to their music (bar one or two songs). I do like some of Sam's music, but it's nothing spectacular. He's just a male vocalist who doesn't really do anything but sing. MJ earned every bit of his legendary status. Sam's good but I can't see him having much longevity, tbh.
