MJ was a wonderful and ground breaking artist but its sad to see some picking him just because of how the feel about Madonna because the Madonna vs the singer I'm not going to name situation.
Instead of calling me names and sending RIP pics. We coould always enter into a discussion as to why I'm wrong.
I mean, I'm more than happy to listen to other people's opinion on the matter. But sending RIP's and name calling. Really?
I think those that can't adress the content shouldn't be calling anyone else anything. Would anyone like to have a discussion or do Ya'll want to send emoticons and call it a "drag"?
No one called you a name.
This didn't need a whole chapter on who's more artistic, it's who you prefer

Pretentious is a name. I'm sorry, I didn't relaise you were the rule maker on how long a comment should be. If you don't like the length of comments, no one is forcing you to read them.
ARTISTICALLY, Madonna is far superior to Michael Jackson.
It’s undeniable: Jackson spent his entire solo career repeating his own music, the same formula over and over again. His catalog is musically limited. There is nothing “artistic” about repeating the same formula or redoing the same things, especially if the purpose is to achieve the same commercial success as in the days of yore.
On the other hand, Madonna’s musical catalog is endlessly superior, richer and more varied than Michael Jackson’s. Madonna’s body of work is a reflection of her creativity, she truly has an artistic soul. Not only has she changed the direction of her musical work in every step she took, but she also took real artistic risks rarely seen in the business.
It’s rather perplexing how Madonna’s incredible artistic endeavors are overlooked, while Jacskon who repeated his formual is praised and referred to as “amazing”. What’s amazing about singing the same music and performing them the same way for 20 years? Madonna, at the peak of her fame and commercial success (with the Blond Ambition) was transitioning into her Erotica Era! That is what’s called a real artistic and creative risk! Madonna has always created different ways of expressing herself while poking the society at the same time.
People mistake their personal taste with reality. For those who disagree with the fact that Madonna is far superior to Michael Jackson, argue this:
Rock With You, Beat it, Thriller, Billie Jean, Bad, Smooth Criminal, Remember the Time, Black or White, You Rock My World… they are all great, but no one can deny they all sound the same (and these are songs from 1979 to 2001). In comparison, Madonna’s delivered Lucky Star, Into the Groove, Papa Don’t Preach, La Isla Bonita, Like a Prayer, Vogue, Erotica, Secret, Ray of Light, Music - you can’t get a catalog richer than that.
Madonna’s body of work is endlessly superior to Michael Jackson’s. Let their music speak for itself.

If you read what I wrote you might notice the words "solo career" Before that he was under the control of his father and had very little input in what he was doing.
Funny how they shade M when she is basically the reason many of their faves came into existence.
Like MJ she will be only be appreciated by some once she is gone. Sad.
