Sam Smith Said He Doesn’t Like Michael Jackson’s Music
Recently, the singer was enjoying some downtime with friends out on a boat. Among the crew was fellow singer Adam Lambert who was recording some of the day’s festivities and posting them to his Instagram account. While one of the clips shows Smith jamming out to some Beyoncé, another one reveals him showing his lack of support for another musical legend—the musical legend Michael Jackson.
Music News Facts@musicnewsfactAdam Lambert accidentally posts a video of Sam Smith saying:
‘I don’t like Michael Jackson, but this is a good song’
In the video, Lambert pans over to Smith who says, “I don’t like Michael Jackson, but this is a good song.” In fairness, he does give MJ props, but it isn’t every day that you hear someone, especially an accomplished musician, say that they don’t like the King of Pop. As you would imagine, people gave Smith hell for his comment.
F@ItsokFYes Sam Smith can have his opinion, of course. But you can’t just say “I don’t like Michael Jackson”, you have to say “I’m very sorry but Michael Jackson’s songs aren’t my fave.” That’s it. Pay some respect to the ultimate LEGEND and forever #1 of billions.
Con Li@Guido_ConzSam Smith is over. What self respecting musician says they don’t like Michael Jackson? Honey..
Chris Coote-Stubbins@chrisconfessedI have defended Sam Smith through thick and thin but hating on Michael Jackson is UNFORGIVABLE.
Cancel him (again).

I’m such a huge Michael Jackson fan. I love his music. Not everyone likes the same music/artists. The world be boring if the world only liked or disliked the same things. You do you @samsmithworld
SALEH@SALEHQLLLSam Smith saying he doesn’t like Michael Jackson doesn’t mean shit! god I can list so many good artists that I don’t like their music and it’s MY opinion. He shouldn’t pretend to like everyone’s music because he’s famous.. he wasn’t even hating!
There is certainly no denying the impact and importance of Jackson’s legacy on music, but Smith likely isn’t the only person in the industry who isn’t too fond of his music either. Surprising take? Yes. But this certainly isn’t the first time a successful artist has expressed their dislike for an all-time great. In fact, it seems to happen in the hip-hop community weekly.
