That's thriller, his most iconic song of all, the actually dancing starts at 8:30 or so in the video.

Compared to Chris Brown's most iconic song, "Forever":

I honestly don't feel its even close, both in the song, and the in the dancing.

I know a lot with disagree with me, based mostly on your biases you cannot control, and the fact that most of you naturally just want to prove me wrong, but if you look at it from an unbiased POV, it shouldn't be close, and I'm not even a fan of CB.

Or Derulo in this one:

Usher is another one who's more talented as well.

I'd even take JT over MJ:

And I'd love to see MJ do that ^

You've never spent a second contemplating that artists out there contain 10x the talent level of MJ, mostly because someone influenced and convinced you at a young age that MJ was the greatest, and arguing against that was futile since that's what everyone believes. You've never spent ONE FUCKING SECOND trying to analyze other people, yet you know MJ is the best of all time. LOL

Like I said, enjoy being mediocre, because you won't know the difference anyway.

I own his Live in Bucharest concert. Earth will never again see a performer like Jackson. He did things that would blow even Houdini's mind. No, there will never be another one quite like Michael.

In before: "lol, you can't compare Lady Gaga to MJ, MJ was the greatest of all-time. Why? Because I happened to have grown up during the time period he was popular."

There are great artist from every generation, people just have a tendency to worship those that were popular when they grew up because it makes them feel good about themselves for whatever reason. You see the same thing with athletes

sleeper;402458 wrote:It's nostalgia. It's a well documented phenomenon that people will ALWAYS think things were better back in the day, nothing new here. It's lazy, but it makes people feel important because they have the PRIVILEGE of watching the greatest ever, that'll never be seen again, "oh that sucks, I mean he's good but you should have seen MJ 20 years ago, he was 10x better than these guys"

LOL

Glory Days;402470 wrote:haha and your just the opposite. it makes you feel better because you go against the grain. even know deep down inside your argument doesnt hold shit.

Grammy's
MJ-19
Usher-5

Billboard Awards
MJ-40
Usher-13

American Music Awards
MJ-26
Usher-4

Soul Train Awards
MJ-10
Usher-8

And you might say, well MJ was around longer. Ok, but MJ won most of his awards in his first 20 years or so. Usher is coming up on 20 years pretty soon and he has a lot of catching up to do. And here are some of the records MJ holds.

The Best Selling Album of All Time
Youngest Vocalist to Top the US Singles Chart
First Entertainer to Earn More Than 100 million Dollars in a Year
First Entertainer to Sell More Than 100 Million Albums outside the US
Most Weeks at the Top of the US Album Charts

Cool argument though.

Glory Days;402483 wrote:you're right, he didnt. he created something that was before his generation. during the time when metal ruled the music world. and if these new guys have so much talent, why are there so many of them? seems like there are new artists like them popping up every year. but nice argument bro.
