Michael Jackson -The most famous living person on the planet?

So we know Michael has all kinds of titles-like King of Pop(which he deserves-look at the album sells 2008 thread)

But is he also the most famous living person on this planet?
Reportes often give him this title.
So what do you think?Is there a person who is more famous and known around the world then our Mikey??


By famous I mean that if you held up a photo of the person, the largest number of people would recognize this person?

I'm thinking maybe the Queen of England, George Bush, and Bill Gates for starters.

You´re wrong!! Sorry. Take a picture of bush and travel to Afrika and asia and ask who this old dude is...and then do the same with the thriller album picture of Mike he would win 10 to 1
Take the picture of Bill Gates- Michael would win 1000 to 1!!!!

That´s a good one! He is the greatest and I love him but I think the new generation doesn´t know him that good. I don´t think that the 7 year old daughter of my brother can recognize him by picture.
I think in general more men than woman know him.I think Michael would win this match also.

Living Person?

probably the Pope, or the Queen of England or maybe the Dali Lama.

Yes. I believe MJ is the most famous living human on the planet today, as well as in the past, and probably for several more decades. "Famous" meaning that his name, image(s), and/or skills (music, voice, etc) are known in almost every livable area on earth (I assume that all industrialized populations know of Michael Jackson, but maybe not all tribal/developing countries). Regardless of what that entails, it's still really amazing.

The Pope. Hmm I know Pope Johannes the Second, but the new one named Benedikt from germany? How does he look like? I don´t have a picture in my mind.

The Dali Lama? No Way! Why should he be so famous that every child, teenager, and older folks know his face??? I think even Jackie Chan is more famous.

The Queen is the best choice out of the 3.But here again many children don´t know her by picture.
