NO REALLY?! I HAD NO IDEA UNTIL YOU TOLD ME THANKS U.

Yeah, Michael Jackson is (was) good, but I'd argue there are far better vocalists than him in the song, Barbra Streisand for one.
Barabara Streisand's bit solo sounded ridiculous.

There are without a doubt sore thumbs but saying the song is just a series of interconnected "cringe-worthy" moments is taking it a little far, even if you really dislike American pop music today. There was more than enough talent in the studio, although at times the focused on the people with the least talent (although apparently I am the last person in the western hemisphere who doesn't think Kanye West is an abomination).
Well, he is black, so by virtue of that he's an abomination in your eyes.

And as for it not being a musical abortion, I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
