there's no other logical answer but Katy

None of these ladies are the female MJ, there is no such thing.

But who comes closest?

In terms of chart milestones, Katy. In terms of talent and performance ability, Beyonce.

Janet.

What kinda tea?

If anything, then Béýóńćé.

Anyway, voting for Keri Hilson.

Only Janet comes close

You know, MJ was a WHOLE lot more than just 5 #1 singles from one album. So NOT Katy Perry.

Probably either Beyonce or Lady Gaga. Leaning more towards the former.

Can someone explain to me why Katy is even considered?

Woman aren;t really taken seriously for titles to be placed on them often, shame on the industry.

It's either Beyonce or Gaga, they write music, amazing voice, dancing skills, PASSION, Crazy FANS, Sold out tours !

She's the only person that has gotten the Billboard Spotlight award next to Michael Jackson


and also:


So ofc she's winning the poll.

No she didn't.

I saw her live on her last tour and she was anything but stiff. Much looser and a lot more fluid than Ciara and I say that as a fan of both.

Why is Ashanti there

Mess

So just because she tied a record with MJ means she's the female equivalent of him?

So does that mean that Emile Sande is the female equivalent of the Beatles just because she BEAT a record of theirs, or that Adele is the modern equivalent of Madonna because she beat of record of hers.

Some of you Katy Perry fans really need to get musically educated at some point. It really lends perspective. It would help.
