Reasons Why Michael Jackson is Better Than The Beatles
Just the Top Ten reasons why MJ is better *no offense*Michael Jackson is the best. End of story. I hate when I see a countdown of greatest artists, yet they compare a band with a solo artist. I can't argue enough that had the Beatles disbanded, there is no way the individual members would have accomplished what Michael Jackson accomplished all by himself. Time has proven this.
The Beatles' music did not break racial barriers. They are only popular in the U.S. and Europe. Michael Jackson's music is known worldwide. White America just cannot acknowledge that a black man has won this title. I'm saying this, and I'm neither white nor black. So sad. Racism will never end.
This is self-evident. Michael Jackson had a 4-octave range as a tenor and is a star-rated vocalist. He could sing gospel, rock, soul, and many other genres in more than one style, while the Beatles only sang rock and were horrible singers at it. Let's face it.
Nobody thinks Paul or John are great singers. They sound like they are talking when they sing, but MJ sang with such emotion and skill that it is impossible to imitate his singing style in Earth Song, for example. He was also a master dancer, beatboxer, composer, and songwriter.
What is any one member of the Beatles a master of? Yeah, I'll wait. MJ is the most talented musician ever.
Honestly, Michael Jackson is the best. He was known worldwide before the social media age. I'm from South Africa, and nobody knows who the heck the Beatles are, lol.
Michael Jackson was the greatest singer, dancer, and performer. His performances were electrifying, otherworldly, and magical. He mastered the moonwalk, the 45-degree lean, and the robot - all very complex dance skills. The Beatles couldn't dance or perform. They were boring performers, just standing there doing nothing.
Everywhere Michael Jackson went, he attracted large crowds. He has the Guinness record for the most concert attendance. It is not even debatable. It is a fact.
A lot of fans would start fainting at his concerts, and there would also be many ambulances at the scene. Michael Jackson is the best!
On the Bad tour, the last leg had over 130,000 people. On the Dangerous Tour, one of the legs had 7 sold-out concerts, and over 507,000 people attended.
He has five solo albums that sold over 20 million copies worldwide: Off The Wall (20+ million), Thriller (66 million), Bad (35+ million), Dangerous (32+ million), and HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I (20 million).
It says "successful," a claim that can be measured. Michael was and is called the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records.
The Beatles were not even in the top 10 for this poll or other contests.
This is a fact: Michael Jackson is the most awarded music artist of all time with over 250 awards. The Beatles cannot even compare. They only have one Grammy, while Michael Jackson had 13. He also received the Lifetime Achievement Award at 29 years old, the youngest to achieve that award.
The Beatles have a better fanbase and more No. 1 hits in America. I'll give them that, and I do love the Beatles. But Michael Jackson lasted 45 years making hits worldwide while positively trying to change the world. He also wrote and co-wrote almost every single song he released (over 300 for sure).
Michael Jackson's songs had a lot of substance. He wrote most of them himself, and they were all awesome. He is a legend.
And the Beatles' career only lasted 10 years.
The Beatles were just four guys smoking marijuana. Michael was a real dancer.
Well, if this is true, then Paul McCartney is totally right. I admire the Beatles a little. They have quite a lot of songs that are really meaningful and show how good lyricists they are. However, they don't get you off your seat.
They are not "out of the box," plus they don't dance. Their voices are average. Moreover, some of their songs mean nothing. Well, the Beatles are good but not great. They just keep on writing and writing with no sense.
At times, when they attempt a rocker voice, it sounds like phlegm is about to get out from their throats, especially John Lennon's voice. Seriously, it's not even a justifiable comparison to how amazing Michael Jackson is.
Maybe they are not so famous because they rose to fame when technology or TVs were not that advanced. However, they are not staggering or dashing either. They sound so boring, look boring, and are average. They are like the Jonas Brothers of today.
Now, don't you ask and believe that I am one of those so-called moonwalkers or even Michael Jackson's fans, because I ain't.
And it doesn't mean that I am insulting anyone.
I am one of the biggest fans of the unrivaled ever, for the world's view. But really, to me, music and the influences of music! Its styles! The grooving!
It could be a perspective of an individual, but still, there are some styles which revolutionized and have the best music in them. They are followed by any generation if they want the best collection with energy without saying it's old, because you can't get that famous, inspirational, and heartfelt days/music/times which are really never ever old.
Remember, I am not devaluing the new or present artists. Instead, I am making sure that you can't have any of today's music, even from the '90s, without those so-called old inspirations, who were the best at it.
When you have these influences, then why do you need the new ones? I mean, just go on with them as all the new/present artists did from the old inspirations. Old is the reason why you have new. Without it, you can't even have a glimpse of the new.
A glimpse of the new is not even worthy of thinking, but there are some which are good, though they are not at all dancing-mode by which new got inspired and music was shaped.
The great consequence is where you are inspired by someone but you can't do like them, which means you can't succeed in it. Another great consequence is that though the new is inspired by the old, it can't copy or perfect it at all. This is not a real deal for anyone, but it is a real and big deal for those who want to succeed in their career or profession, whether it be music, knowledge, etc. And tell me, who doesn't want to succeed in whatever they do, at least on an average level?
The new doesn't even interpret influence or give heartfelt energy as its inspiration did, and that's what makes the old incomparable... more
Just watch the video Children React to Michael Jackson on YouTube. Then watch Children React to the Beatles. In the Michael Jackson video, all the children get excited watching him and know the lyrics to his songs. In contrast, with the Beatles, they barely know any songs and are bored by their music videos. Even kids know Michael Jackson is the best!
Who is the top-earning dead person every year? Michael Jackson! He has made over $1 billion since his death. The Beatles can't relate.
He is also the most subscribed and most watched artist on YouTube compared to the Beatles. He has over 13 million subscribers. The Beatles hardly scratch 5 million. Also, on Spotify, Thriller has over 1 billion streams, and MJ is still more streamed than the Beatles in this generation.
