The Coop Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Point: maybe someday, but right now, no one touches MJ. What do you mean "maybe someday"? The guy's buried six feet down. Is someone planning to dig him up at a later date so they can touch him? Is there a plot you're not filling us in on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salluz Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Bob Dylan. He was a natural at composing popular music. Granted he's not the greatest singer in the world, and even he's had his controversies, but he still counters the fact that (dare I say it) Michael Jackson's not... that... great. Maybe, I'll check him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulinEther Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 And when it comes to comparing, you can compare anything to anything else.Like apples and MJ. The comparison will be obvious... No, I think this is worthy of our time as a form of intellectual exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salluz Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Why do you WTF and Heads will Roll at the idea of someone like Lady Gaga or Justin Beiber being compared to Michael Jackson?They are successful musicians who are young and have a lot of skill in singing, dancing, and putting on a show - isn't that a huge start? In all honesty, Gaga and Bieber have potential, great potential, but it's quite early to say that they are on MJ's level. They'll have a Hell of a lot of hoops to jump through and little boys to share beds with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare4War Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 That is without a doubt the worst Ghetto Flame on comparisons I have ever seen. this thread has taken a turn for the worst I think DarkeSword gave me a reprimand for this exact statement.

Deep Thought Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 little boys THERE IT IS! Now the only question remains is why does it matter that people are getting compared? Its all a matter of opinions anyway, so no one is going to be right as it is. Why argue about it on these (generally) civil forums? Honestly, Jackson was better than most, but that doesn't mean that nobody should aspire for that amount of success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salluz Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Honestly, Jackson was better than most, but that doesn't mean that nobody should aspire for that amount of success. True, true. Also, I am open to listen to the songwriters mentioned in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare4War Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 True, true. It's preference Salluz. Wtf? There are a zillion and 1 artists that I think are more talented than and would personally, rather listen to than Micheal Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I say this with tongue planted firmly in cheek, but I dare anyone not to compare Michael Jackson to the following and view them based on their merits alone AND not thinking of MJ. this: or this: or this: and I won't even post the Michael Jackson/Sonic 3 comparison videos that are everywhere. @ Salluz, I think I know what you're saying, and in a sense I guess I agree with you, but anything good that shakes the foundation of something (like MJ did to pop and mainstream entertaining) is going to get compared to things. In my opinion, when people seek to compare against someone else consistently, it only underscores their impact, and honestly, the ripples in the water from Michael Jackson's influence are still seen today. Just the way Elvis, Mozart, James Brown, Queen, Michael Jackson, or any other popular figures in music history (both modern and classical ) left ripples from their influence in the music world. They became a standard for subsets of musicians, whether you agree or not, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
