Jay Z says Beyonce is The Second Coming of Michael Jackson. What do you think?

bottom line. all beyonce has going for her is looks, a bad body, and an industry machine that devotes itself to the illusion that she’s the best thing going today through overexposure. after all that, there’s nothing there. she does not have the talent, creativity, originality, groundbreaking body of work–i could go on–to back it up. michael jackson had instant classics–just to start with–that, no matter how much they were played it to death, never got old. beyonce gets real old real quick.

nobody is trying to mimic beyonce or do her dance moves! all beyonces moves are copied from oher artist like mj janet britney , fosse , and africans!

@yescandles I respect that. After all, with the level of fame that both Elvis and MJ experience, it would be quite hard to prove who was actually more famous. We would essentially have to define more? Still, I think I give Michael the advantage, because of his global appeal and reach into tiny villages, where people have very little knowledge of pop stars from the U.S. His impact has been recognized by presidents, Kings, and other world organizations. I don’t believe Elvis’s impact was that wide

@yescandles Now that’s funny as hell. Elvis was huge, but I think MJ edged him out on worldwide appeal. I haven’t seen any Elvis footage of people stampeding over one another just to get a glimpse of him. People allowed themselves to be dragged by cars and they stayed up all night or slept outside of MJ’s hotel for days hoping they would get to see him. I’m not saying that kind of fame is all that. Obviously Michael eventually couldn’t handle it, but Elvis was not MJ famous.

@DizShaWTYcrUNK Well, she is doing ok. I like Bey, but she’s no Michael Jackson. You said his invincible album wasn’t that popular and I agree with that, but just think about it, the thing still sold 13 million copies and didn’t have any promotion beside the rock my world video. What other artist is capable of doing that? Beyonce selling out in 22 seconds is understandable considering that the venue was only a 3500 seat capacity. Didn’t Janet Jackson already do that?

@Darslow the media makes it seem like her album isnt doing well but it was #1 and i think its doing great. she sold out 4 shows in 22 seconds so she isnt flopping yet. i think her albums keep getting better. i think mj inspired her to make that universal sound music (run the world, end of time) i love it! it was a risk but to me she pulled it off.

@Darslow yes, the only hit i know on there was “you rock my world” which i believe was mjs last best song. when was that in 1998 or 2001?

@Darslow she performed at the roseland ballroom where fred aistaire ginger rogers madonna rolling stones performed at which made that place famous n gave it its history. mjs last album wasnt that popular, we havent heard much from him in the last 10 years. i feel bey can keep ppls attn until the end of time.

@DizShaWTYcrUNK Last time I listened to an MJ song was a few hours ago. In fact, I listened to the whole damn dangerous album twice. It’s only a classic that sold over 32 millions copies. And, I’ll tell you what MJ had that Beyonce doesn’t have – LOVE. He loved people, the planet, and animals. Before the world became too much for him, he was always about charity and humility. Fortunately, his humility remained. You could see his humbleness in the way that he dressed and talked to people.

Just think about this… When MJ’s dangerous album was about to be released, some fools raided the LAX airport and stole over 30,000 copies of the album. When somebody wants to steal Beyonce’s album without pirating it on from the internet, then come back and talk to me. She’s probably on Janet Jackson’s level. I doubt that she has had as much impact as Tina Turner. I don’t know what Jay-Z was trying to accomplish, but he put his foot in his mouth on this one. What an idiot.

@Marc82193 Yes, mj was inspired by the charleston dance also. he did not invent that.

@simplydenali why isnt mj ur fav artist? are you 17? wow ur so young listenin to old ppl music lol my point is, why does mj have to be put on a pedestal. its not a fact that hes the best artist, its just ppls opinions. men dont want bey to be the next mj bcuz shes a woman, then we have whts not wantin mj to be king cuz hes blk. i just dont like how ppl knock eachothers comments out when we all have a ear for different music. and bey is aware that shes competing with past artists.

No one compares to Michael and no there wont be another. He loved everyone and told us in his actions and his music.
