    • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

      He was and remains one of the most successful music superstars of all time but i think we can all agree that The Beatles and Elvis were the biggest sensations in music history, their flame has never extinguished, michael was not considered one of the greatest in his last 20 years of existence, as terrifying as it sounds, DEATH gave back the fame and acclaim that was taken and destroyed by the media’s and himself, he went to be the biggest superstar on the planet to be a joke to possibly the most revered artist post-posthumous.

        sucide blonde
        If you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all
        BTW what are u talking about he wasn’t considered great in his last 20 years? 20 years before his death in 1989 he just finished the biggest grossing tour ever at the time and was the highest paid pop star ever that year. In 1991 he had the biggest video premiere ever, in 1993 he broke new viewers records at Oprah and the Superbowl and recieved the Grammy Legend award in 1993. Thats just a few of the things he achieved less than 20 years before his death. I can agree he wasn’t as respected maybe 10 years before his death but up until 2003 he was very respected. And even after that. So shut up

    @SuicideBlondie! SHUT THE F**** UP!!!! JUST SHUT THE F**** UP! Us BLCK people do not have many huge stars like Michael Jackson to look up too. Why do you feel the need to bash & bring him DOWN on every fuckking article! Infact, you seem to find a way to bash all of our HUGE black entertainers! PLEASE, DO NOT compare Michael Jackson to 2 WHITE acts like Beatles or Elvis! For, an artist that mostly did R&B music became the BIGGEST artist since ELVIS PRESLEY died. Also, Michael Jackson was still highly respected & loved BEFORE YES BEFORE he even died. The fact that MJ sold out his 50 shows less than an hour SPEAKS VOLUMES! Before his death, he was STILL selling records & still in the getting awards. Fans wanted Michael back but he was too sick to come back. But, when he tried it WAS HUGE NEWS!!!! DO NOT ACT LIKE IF MICHAEL WAS NOT SICK HE WOULD”NT BE SNATCHING THOSE TOURING RECEIPTS FROM GRANDMADONNA! You get on my damn nerves… You NEVER put down WHITE LEGENDS the way you do with BLACK ones… Shut UP! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!

        Needless to say he created neverland because he wanted to enjoy what he didn’t have as a child in michaels mind he was still a child and that’s why he didn’t see nothing wrong hanging with little boys he’s a legend and a hell of an entertainer but he was sick and disturbed.

    Also, RACIST BLONDIE you can see in this video MICHAEL JACKSON receiving a DIAMOND award was still respected & loved by many. Just listen to that audience go up in hysteria over Jackson. He was sick & could not get right. But he kept on smiling threw the pain anyways….

        Prince hasn’t had a hit since the early 90’s. FACT. How dare you put him in the same sentence as MJ. Your trolling is getting old. MJ >>>>>>

      • Me.I Am Mariah carey…the queen of music 200 million records sold (when will Beyonce,Rihanna,Gaga,xtina,Britney,Madonna,pigdele) June 25, 2014

        Is a matter of a opinions….and prince hasn’t had a hit because his record label Fck him over he wasn’t allowed to used his stage name for a while he was known as the love symbol.

      • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

        Prince is probably the most talented musician of all time, MJ wasn’t close to that, how about that, since all MJ fans talk about how talented and better than anyone he was, Michael cannot do the things Prince do as a musician.

      • Me.I Am Mariah carey…the queen of music 200 million records sold (when will Beyonce,Rihanna,Gaga,xtina,Britney,Madonna,pigdele) June 25, 2014

        Agreed 100 percent!! Prince is such a great musician and has influeced artist like robin thicke, Justin timberlake and Adam Levine, Michael was amazing as well can’t take that away but the true of the matter is behind every pop artist there’s someone that tells them how to dress, how to dance, the song to sing, the songwriters, the producers ect, I respect pop artist but I prefer musician that play their Instruments,write their music and produced it those are the real artist.

      • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

        Amen to that!

  18. Stephy June 25, 2014

    Prince & Michael Jackson ARE TOO DIFFERENT ARTIST! WTF is wrong with you? Prince has not had a hit since EARLY 90s & Prince really has not been relavent since 1987… BYE! Michael Jackson will forever be BIGGER & BETTER than him.
    .
    Also, Michael Jackson OUTSOLD Madonna during the SOUNDSCAN era but you said his career DIED after 20 years ago. Not when he outsold MADONNA since 1991. BYE

    • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

      All LAMBS cares about is SALES, Mariah’s recent numbers must be a God’s punishment to all of you.

      Elvis was a different artist than MJ, yet you all are bashing him, Prince remains the superior musician, that’s a fact.

      • Stephy June 25, 2014

        Girl BYE! I said nothing negative about Elvis Presley…

  19. Stephy June 25, 2014

    I also, do agree that Prince was a better musician than MJ. Even MJ would admit that. But, everyone has their thing. Prince is a great artist but lacked commercial success & relevancy. No one really knows Prince these days except for older & wiser young folks. Michael Jackson was to blacks like Elvis was to Whites BYE!

    • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

      Do not retract, You said MJ was better, end of.

      • Stephy June 25, 2014

        I think MJ was better as a artist! But, as a muscian Prince is better! The man plays like 23458923y45092834572394 instruments but his music does nothing for me except PURPLE RAIN ALBUM & a litte bit of SIGN THE TIMES!
        .
        Also, I DID NOT BASH ELVIS AT ALL BYE!

      • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

        Don’t run away, i’m just playing with you, you know i love me some lambs.

      • Stephy June 25, 2014

        Watever Blondie! You always got something negative to say about Michael. He did write, produce, compose, dance, sing & SOLD RECORDS OUT THE ASS EVEN UP UNTIL HIS DEATH! Yes, Prince is more talented in terms of a musician but MJ was wayyyyyyy more talented than ELVIS but you don’t even point that out.
        ..
        Also, if Michael’s career DIED 20 years before his DEATH, Then why in the hell did he sell another 30+ million ALBUMS since 1991 – 2008 in the SOUNDSCAN era?

  20. Stephy June 25, 2014

    Michael Jackson wrote alot of his own music & composed alot of his own melodies! Bye! Mariah Carey fan or lack of…

    • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

      But was that music THAT great, i mean, Taylor Swift writes her music but……Don’t get me wrong MJ was very talented but i won’t call him a musician because that would be an insult to real musicians like John Lennon and Prince, that’s it.

      • Stephy June 25, 2014

        It depends on YOUR taste. I think most of all the songs he wrote “Heartbreak Hotel”, “Billie Jean”, “Beat It”, “Earth Song”, “Stranger”, “Give In To Me”, “Shake Your Body” and many others were very well produced & written songs… BY HIM!
        .
        Mariah Carey is another song writer that people love to bring down…

  21. K June 25, 2014

    The legendary King of Pop Micheal Jackson.

  22. Mark111 June 25, 2014

    KING! The 3rd higest selling music act of all time. Only after The Beatles and Elvis. Funny thing is MJ owned the rights to the Beatles songs and married Elvis only daughter, lol. So a good portion of those beatles sales went into Mr. Jackson bank account. KING! BOSS!

    • Stephy June 25, 2014

      Yassss I love your LOVE for MJ!

    • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

      He owned a couple of songs credits, not they’re catalogue, and still is nothing to brag about, take advantage of others work is not something to be proud, if anything that proved how inferior he was to them, Paul McCartney would never do something like that to others musicians, that’s low.

      • Sandra June 25, 2014

        suicideblonde
        There’s nothing wrong with buying people’s music catalogs if they’re for sale. If Paul didn’t want people to buy his songs he wouldn’t have allowed to put them for sale. If Michael didn’t buy them someone else would, but you’re attacking Michael cause he did something totally legal, buying something that was for sale. How does that make him inferior?

      • Mark111 June 25, 2014

        “Michael Jackson now controlled the publishing rights to every Beatles songs. That meant he was free to license songs like “Yesterday”, “All You Need is Love” and “Revolution” to any brand he chose. If he licensed a song for $100,000, the song writers Lennon and McCartney would still get $25,000 each, and the publisher Michael Jackson would get $50,000. In 1987, Michael infuriated Paul when he licensed the song “Revolution” to Nike for $500,000. But there was nothing Paul could do about it now.” -celebritynetworth

        He didn’t own all their song, but all of their hits and most of the songs on all their albums. That’s not including owning his own classic and the classic to come (this was in the Thriller era.) The Beatles were MJ’s slaves.

  23. Dossome June 25, 2014

    RIP…he died a day to my 21st birthday.I remember being so devastated that day sitting at home watching CNN and not finding the courage to believe he was no more

  24. Dossome June 25, 2014

    Sorry in my world,the greatest men in music are Michael Jackson and Bob Marley…Elvis and Beatles haven’t impacted my life in any way,shape or form.Prince remains my favorite artist of all time though

    • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

      Greatest in term of what cuz MJ’s career was huge, the biggest after Elvis and the Beatles but Bob Marley wasn’t even close.

  25. coolness June 25, 2014

    R.I.P MJ, the greatest entertainer of all time but was an obviously troubled man. I reminder when the news broke and I didn’t believe because I thought it was a hoax. When it was confirmed, I didn’t react at all but when I watched all his videos and seeing his daughter Paris cry at that memorial event, it finally hit me. I dunno why this turned into an MJ vs Prince thread but I will say that even as someone who isn’t a fan of the latter, he is a brilliant musician and displayed better artistry in playing instruments and writing. as more of a Pop star and entertainer whereas Prince was viewed mostly as an acclaimed musician. Either way, it’s all about taste and preference. Just because someone is not explicitly blessed with the gift of creating music does not mean they don’t have talent.

    • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

      MJ was indeed very talented, i never say otherwise, the things is that his fans loves to brag about how talented and better than some artists he was but as soon as you named a better artist than him in terms of a musician, they go overboad, lose their cool, and as you can see, they think sales means superioty.

      • coolness June 25, 2014

        Yeah, I saw the way they came at you, S******, lol. MJ was all-round gifted but I remember reading somewhere that he wondered why people didn’t see him as a true artist in the same vein of Prince. Please anyone correct me if I’m wrong. I’m not familiar with music of The Beatles or David Bowie but I have listened to Prince as well as MJ and I do think the Purple One was a better musician.

    • Sandra June 25, 2014

      But Michael wrote and composed many songs so he was blessed with the gift of creating music as well

      • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

        But was he better than Prince, David Bowie or The Beatles in that, the problem with MJ fans is that you can’t take a critic.

      • coolness June 25, 2014

        Of course he did and I’m aware if that! But I think the thing with MJ, at least to ME, he wasn’t always recognised for his musicianship as much as he was for his stellar performance ability.

      • S****** Blonde June 25, 2014

        You said all.

  26. Sandra June 25, 2014

    coolness: Yes michael’s musicianship is often being overshadowed by his singing and dancing but he’s a good musician as well

    s****** blonde: Who’s a better songwriter is debatable
