In the latest tribute to Michael Jackson, Fox rebroadcast an “American Idol” episode tonight, in which contestants covered Jackson’s songs. The show, which featured the top 13 contestants, originally aired a few months ago as part of season eight, according to EW.com.

While some viewers said the episode was a good showcase of Jackson’s musical history, others felt it dishonored the icon:

1. 
   GlambertForever So glad I rewatched Michael Jackson week of American Idol. Adam was even more amazing than I remember. And RIP MJ. Lost but not forgotten.

   RosalinaLeao Shouldn’t have sat through 2 hours of American Idol. At times I didn’t even know they were singing MJ’s songs. It still was a tribute to MJ.

   eseanj It seems that American Idol is the first to capitolize on Michael Jackson’s death.
4. 
   AliciaDupuis that was a really great American Idol episode. What a year for them to choose Michael Jackson as a theme. still seems unreal that he’s gone

   TyPM519 Is a repeat episode of “American Idol sings Michael Jackson” really the best way to pay tribute to an icon?
