Oprah will Garth Brooks probably will Stevie Wonder probably about the same as James Brown Prince a little less than SW and JB more than likely Not here in Europe. There are hundreds of entertainers who are more known here than he is. Martina, now orgs official resident fairy/pixie

You morbid fuckers make me sick! 
 different view points. growing up everything in my grandmother's house was divided up before she died. it wouldn't be uncommon for my mom and her brothers and sister to say oh don't forget that right there is mine when mom dies. t is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

If you are wondering who will be the next to get coverage like Michael Jackson, the answer is none of them, ever. Oprah is pretty big but she's not a pop/rock star and rock stars get the most attention because they have more mass appeal and they also have more fans that are interested in seeing the coverage 24/7 than an actor or actress would. Nobody has ever been as big as Michael Jackson and no one has even come a fraction close except for Elvis Presley. Any other pop/rock star might get mentioned on the news for a brief moment or get a day long marathon on VH1 (only if it were someone as big as Madonna) but that's about it.

I don't like thinking about this ... depending on how that said person dies it'll mater. It still won't reach the level of Mike. Mike has been the top headline for 2 weeks and a day now. MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever

Yeah, but there have always been large demographics that Madonna could not reach.... AT ALL! So you won't see the same kind of universal response that Mike's receiving. Also, she'll (most likely) be a lot older so it won't be so tragic and there won't be so many who remember her at her peak. Still, it'll be a big one for sure. But nowhere near Mike. No one else will even come close. Barack Obama will be a big one, but he's a politician and people don't feel so personally connected to politicians. | |

My sister and I was discussing this not too long ago, we both agreed that no other celebrity will receive this much public reaction when they pass away, EVER! When the House of Representatives gives an entertainer moment of silence, that's deep. I thought about Stevie, but now I absolutely doubt it. When somebody mentioned Prince, I laughed my ass off. | |

Stevie, maybe, Ali, what about the other MJ's, Magic and Jordan? Madonna of course, Janet MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever

Janet was only moderately big outside the US and is known mostly now for being Mike's sister (outside the US at least). Young people don't care about Stevie at all (and many older people are indifferent). Only Ali out of the ones you listed will really effect people when he dies. White women of a certain age and gay men will be moved by Madonna's death, everyone else will just hold their tongue! | |

Stevie, maybe, Ali, what about the other MJ's, Magic and Jordan? Madonna of course, Janet Ali, the world would definitely celebrate his life. But still, 24 hour-around the world coverage, the news of your death is on PBS, TV Land, ESPN, Telemundo, and C-SPAN? 8 cable channels shut down for a day and play your videos, never again will you see that. | |

No! NOBODY will ever touch Michael on that! That's what's got Bill O'Reilly's and that Congressman King's and the haters just like them...britches in such a twist!! 
On the day Michael Jackson died...pretty damn near...the whole WORLD cried!!!  Of course, I'm a Liberal! I'm an American, damn it!

I agree.I can't think of any other artist or celebrity who would get that same type of coverage that MJ received. | |

I agree many listed, especially Madonna.

This thread should be locked. Why are people now so obessed with this, now. Who cares how much coverage someone gets once they die.

People Michael only got this much coverage because of his scandlous and bizzare lifestyle and people are watching it for the same reason. The media will say they're covering it because of his impact on society. Yeah right. If that were the case, why is all the coverage about soap opera stuff like custody of the kids, Micheal relationship with his parents, Michael's percieved self-image, Micheal drug use, etc. I haven't heard a damn thing about Michael's music and legacy instead of a blurb every now and then. Why, because the media doesn't give a damn about MJ. They only care about ratings. Getting back to the orgininal question. Yeah another celebrity could get this much attention once they die if the media can get enoug. dirt on them to keep people tuning in every night for the latest in an ongoing scandal. Yeah it's a lot of things, I've heard people refer to his music in some form or another but I knew even before his death that his death would attract a lot of attention and dominate headlines. We can only hope that his music will outlast this but even that's a question mark. They'll never respect it anyway but yeah this will likely be locked if Anxiety or luv4u come in here. nWo (aka FUNK 3.0): bboy87 - timmy84 - muthafunka - littleBLUEcorvette - phunkdaddy - christopher

How about giving them their deserved love & dues while they're here for the time being? Love is just like the faucet

I don't think anyone alive today will get the same reaction, garner as much media attention, and spur so many tributes and memorials as Elvis, Lennon and MJ. Maybe Madonna. But not Prince, Stevie Wonder, Oprah or any of the others listed in this thread so far. Sure they are big names, influential people and their loss will be recognised. But not on the level of Elvis, Lennon or MJ. | |
