No way, she learned NOTHING from MJ, he really touched people with his music and performances, and it reflected in sales. This chick you call beyonce never really made it big, not even at her prime, with all the promo, grammys, radio overplaying her songs shamelessly even when the songs were not selling at all, hype. Her best selling album only 4x plat. when others reached diamond sales. Obviously people never saw that "talent" in her, nor they were impressed or touched, that's why her numbers are ridiculous.
