Whos better than mike. An artist who was a legend by the age of 12 out singing and out dancing grown ment- to an adult megastar. The amount of classics under his voice from childhood to adulthood is uncalled for

He composes music and is the greatest dancer to ever hit the stage. He created mtv with thriller and pioneered the art of music videos. Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time. He won the most grammy's. The history tour is the biggest tour of all time. Bad has the most number one singles from an album. Mj was a monster, who could touch him?

He started playing broomsticks and a ukulele when he was very young. After his mother died at around age 15, he got his first acoustic guitar. He started playing in local bands shortly after. He was in the U.S. ARMY 101st Airborne and was later signed with Little Richard and others. He then left the U.S. to go to the UK where he became a star there. After returning to the U.S., he became world famous and nearly every other guitar player followed him around the block to get a grip on what he was doing. Not wanting to go stale, he turned the corner anytime someone got close to him! After tragically dying at the young age of 27, he had already became known as the greatest guitarist that lived! His name and legacy, along with his music will remain until the end of days! His name was Jimi Hendrix! Maybe you have heard of him?

You have to ask yourself are u serious? Thriller was the biggest hit that a black artist ever created. Voodoochid is a favorite of mine. But it aint nothing compared to thriller- the biggest selling album of all time. Motown 25 is better than anything jimi ever done. Jimi doesnt have as big of an impact on music like michael. Thats truth....


try again

Come on, really? Don't get me wrong - many of Michael Jackson's songs are classics, but the guy isn't "untouchable." When you peel away all the hype from Jackson and get down purely to his songwriting, there are tons of artists who blow him away in that department. For example: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who.

I get the feeling that a lot of the Michael Jackson worship going around has a lot more to do with the hype built around him and his premature death than it does with his actual music purely on its own terms.

I've been an mj fan long before his death. I just think mj is underrated(if you can believe that) And since he was a eight yeears old, it was all talent no hype

No. See this is the thing, mj wrote and composed a'lot of his music. He was mega mainstream and mega pop but what seperated him from others-madonna,elvis etc was that he had the music ability to back it up.

Voodoo child is awesome but not as unique,engaging,exciting as something like a Billie jean or beat it(both written and composed by him). The impact those two songs had with the population shows that.

So i ask again who better than mike jackson?

And the thriller album is better than anything the beatles ever done. Off the wall too. We can go pound for pound if you dont believe me. SGT pepper cant compare

I'd like to add someone else to the the list that played the blues with more feeling than most could muster up! He also tragically passed away way before his time! Depending on who you ask most will tie him with Hendrix! His name is Stevie Ray Vaughan! Maybe you heard of him?

YouTube - Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (Long version!)

YouTube - Stevie Ray Vaughan - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

YouTube - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Beck

Michael Jackson is simply the greatest entertainer ever.

Michael had hit number 1's before puberty. You cant compete with that.
