Sam was apparently lounging on a boat with his friend Adam Lambert when he says into the camera, ” I don’t like Michael Jackson but this is a good song.” Those few words sent the internet into a frenzy. Fans were upset that he would speak on Michael Jackson that way and others defended him saying that he has the right to his opinion.

One legend found his remarks to be repulsive and gave him a nice read, check out what Stephanie Mills had to say about Sam Smith’s disdain for Jackson.
