Nobody can really be considered a "legend" or a "greatest performer" until they can make their career last 20 years and still be considered influential in the industry.

Push the button, don't push the button, trip the station, change the channel.
I thought this discussion was over. It's Michael Jackson nobody comes close to him anymore! Not The Beatles, not Elvis Presley, not Jay-Z, not Mariah Carey, not Madonna, not Usher, not Justin Timberlake! Michael Jackson will forever be known as the greatest entertainer who ever lived! Not to mention right now he has the #1 selling costume in the nation right now as well! What a legacy to leave back on this earth!
