MJ is definitely the King of Pop and has influenced almost everyone BUT he did not deserve to win Artist of the decade when he did practically nothing in that time span. During that time Britney put on a ton of iconic performances, Iconic video's and iconic hits.... She also sold more albums than any other female artist in that period (over 100,000,000) and did a number of world tours. It's sad that people couldn't use their brain and vote for somebody who did SOMETHING in the past decade. (no shade to MJ).
