Jon (born Jonathan Buck) is still hot on the promo trail in support of his March-released album ‘Waiting on You‘ and its latest single, ‘Chozen,’ which saw its music video premiere this week.

When not chatting it up with Hot 97’s DJ Drewski about new music, touring, and his overall career, Buck was quizzed about his thoughts on the Brown vs. Jackson debate.

“[Brown] is absolutely the most talented. He elevated what Michael started. He can sing better than Michael Jackson – the runs and the melodies – all the things he can do with his voice,” Jon started before relaying, “He can sing better in the sense that Michael didn’t do those things. There were some runs MJ did back in the day, but in terms of vocal dexterity and being able to do more with his voice, I’ll give Chris that. He’s ascended the style [of Michael].”

Needless to say, his statements – as evidenced by the explosive comments left on Hot 97’s pages – didn’t sit well with MJ fans.

The blowback is similar to one received last year by Tank (who Buck recently collaborated with for the title track for his latest album ‘Waiting on You‘) as the R&B singer also declared Brown to be a better “singer, songwriter, and dancer” than Michael.
