I've been wondering if he is considered "satanic" I heard he makes good songs but I don't want to drawn to some bad stuff.
 
There are a lot of rumours about Michael Jackson. I just like his music and leave it at that.

No he did not make that kind of music.
 
I've been an MJ fan my whole life. This is what I know from what I can discover as an outsider to his life, but trying to know who he was.
He was a deeply spiritual person. He went through a period (the Thriller era) where he was being pushed a certain way, musically. He didn't like the control the industry was trying to have on him, so he spoke out against them. (which is a lot of the reason why he didn't get the support he needed on his last albums and they didn't sell as well)
Micheal was a JW, but he left them in the early 90's. I know some of his songs had spiritual lyrics, but I wouldn't call them Christian songs. A favorite of mine is "Will You Be There" (first line: Hold me, like the River Jordan, and I will then say to thee, you are my friend") This is another part of that song, I always felt he was talking to God, but I'm not sure..
"They Told Me
A Man Should Be Faithful
And Walk When Not Able
And Fight Till The End
But I'm Only Human

Everyone's Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World's
Got A Role For Me
I'm So Confused
Will You Show To Me
You'll Be There For Me
And Care Enough To Bear Me"

Then he and he backup singers sang:
(Hold Me)
(Lay Your Head Lowly)
(Softly Then Boldly)
(Carry Me There)

(Lead Me)
(Love Me And Feed Me)
(Kiss Me And Free Me)
(I Will Feel Blessed)

(Carry)
(Carry Me Boldly)
(Lift Me Up Slowly)
(Carry Me There)

(Save Me)
(Heal Me And Bathe Me)
(Softly You Say To Me)
(I Will Be There)
What do you all think?

Also, I can't imagine God thinking there was anything wrong with "Heal the World", or "Man in the Mirror". He talked about God and Jesus in several interviews. I think he was kind of trying to find his way up until the end. I saw an interview with a Preacher friend of his and he said that three weeks before MJ died he asked him to come to his home. He said he wanted to do a spiritual album and wanted to learn more about what makes Christians raise thier hands and things like that in church. The friend held an alter call and MJ apparently joined in on the prayer. Whether he prayed the sinners prayer and accepted God, I don't know, but I hope he did. I think about that often.
Jermaine is the Muslim, for the record :)
 
Here is a beautiful performance of "Will You Be There?" (the end gives me chills.. :) )
There is lots of fan footage until 3:20, so you could skip that..
