Who is this generation's Michael Jackson?

[Anonymous]

Just a random question But if you think about the level of fame Michael Jackson reached, the way he became a global phenomenon, known in every single corner of the earth. Who do you think is the closest to emulate his star quality? Or at the closest to have that sort of "god-like" image in the eyes of the public?

Have we ever had a female equivalent to Michael Jackson?

We live in a time where you and I decide that for ourselves… very few are still THAT big, or have the broad impact…

You have your favorite superstar, I have mine… the guy down the street has his own view and preference… It’s the age of the streaming/algorithm attention-economy, for better or for worse.

The era of the real rock star or pop star ended decades ago. It is NOW all mass-produced, computerized garbage made by producers for people who have zero real talent.

If you want real music made by real talent, you have to search in the underground music scenes.

Lady Gaga? Or Rihanna? That’s the closest I can think of.
