I agree to a certain extent. He could still produce very well vocally. I just think the way his live shows were set up needed to change. I don't think he could sing and dance at the same level anymore.
For example his 30th anniversary shows. He sung the Jackson's set
Live then lipped the solo part. He also didn't sound half bad during the Jacksons set and he was probably at about 60-70% performance wise

Who are they??? Because it's not many. As a vocalist and singer he ranks up there

and it's 2012, no one cares if you can dance anymore. so people using that as validation for his status are just reaching.
until he died i had literally heard like maybe 3 of his songs tops.
he might've been iconic back then but up until he died no one was checking for him.
and once the radios started playing his music nonstop for a month i learned that almost every song sounds the same

People were still checking for him, he sold out 50 shows in one arena
That's why he sold out out 50 dates at one venue within 60 minutes 10 years after his last album.
