There is a video going around of Sam Smith hanging out on a boat... and in the video, you hear him say “I Don’t Like Michael Jackson, but this is a good song.”
This has upset many Michael Jackson fans, most notorious is Stephanie Mills

Some other Twitter users had comments as well:
Sam Smith doesn't like Michael Jackson. The same Sam Smith whose Bond theme sounded like Earth Song?

Well, that's OK if Sam Smith doesn't like Michael Jackson.

Because Sam Smith is a boring, mediocre, dull, middle of the road cringeworthy crooning sad sack.
I'm glad we don't share musical tastes ☺️ https://t.co/B2rRoRTdBR
People acting like not liking Michael Jackson is a career ending thing need to get a grip. Jesus Christ.

People are allowed opinions and just because Sam Smith has different taste isn’t really newsworthy pic.twitter.com/I2ggdqFeaG
