The closest thing to MJ from our current pop girls are Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Especially the latter. It's not just about quality. It's about talent, it's about PASSION (most importantly) and connection with their fans. And they are still pretty far from MJ, just the closest we've got. But Taylor.. she is cute, but

She is country, she can't move to save her life, she doesn't have that connection with people, and her music is mostly for teens. Let alone she is not half as global as MJ.
