I know that she was immensely popular but she never once made me laugh....even as a kid. It always seemed like she was trying too hard, too calculated...kind of like Milton Berle.
That’s okay-—people have different tastes.
Actually, I’m the same way with Mel Brooks. I can never understand why people find him hilarious.

Her stunts used to make me cringe in embarrassment for her.
I’m sure you know you’re in a minority, but no worries. I could never grasp why Michael Jackson’s music was (still is) so popular, either. I always thought Stevie Wonder was a much more interesting talent, so Michael’s race (when he had one besides other-than-human) had nothing to do with it.
