since they are decalring Usher as the new king of pop, how does his music compare to Jacko's? i honestly don't own any music by Usher but from the songs i've heard there is no comparison. how the hell is he the king of pop? just because he knows how to imitate jacko doesn't mean he's the king of pop.

"Convulsions", oops, I mean "Confessions" doesnt compare to "Thriller"!

Oh, Lord.

Didn't we already do this thread? Oh.....

Confessions was garbage

i must admit, both of thier fan bases do share the same personality traits

they're

I know die hard MJ fans kill me..... I had to stop being friends with a close friend of mine cause she caught the wacko jacko bug and she went NUTS.

CONFESSIONS

Confessions most likely won't be remembered 20,30 yrs. from now.

Try 2, 3 yrs.

VoicesCarry said:

I'll give it more than that. But I was just comparing to Thriller's 20 yr. success.....like resurfacing on the charts years on down the road.

you don't count lol

ABeautifulOne said:

As far as mainstream music.....who does Usher have to go against? MJ had two main heavyweights at the time.

AnckSuNamun said:

A Bunch of rappers?

lol

Ginuwine?
Marquess Houston?
and the other B2k rejects?
mmm

Usher has really nothing going for him, when it comes to originality

i mean literally?

i even catch him copying Mj's style at times lol
i remeber a year ago, he wore this black jacket at an award show, that i swear came from Mj's closet

go 2 hell

ABeautifulOne said:

after you...

So you're basically saying to us that Lil' Jon has produced something better than Quincy Jones has?

AnckSuNamun said:

justink Timberfake!

dancerella said:

Is he even still in the game? honestly, when you're today's pop start you have to be on it 24/7. He's slacking.

NWF said:

jon didnt produce he produced a track or 2 the album it was usher and L.A. Reid

NWF said:

HELL NO!

Luv4oneanotha said:

hell u ben there and back

ABeautifulOne said:

Fine, L.A. Reid, whatever. It still ain't nowhere near Quincy Jones' prowess.

Luv4oneanotha said:

I remember that jacket. I bet if it was a red leather jacket die hard MJ fans would've killed over.

ABeautifulOne said:

Considering that ben owns this site, I don't think it's proper comportment to portray him in such a negative light.

All due respect, dancerella, Why don't we compare Pearl Washington to Michael Jordan next?

"Confessions" doesn't even hold a candle to "Dangerous," much LESS Thriller.

Ah, but can Confessions compare to:



I'd have to say.....NO

NWF said:

Indeed. Thriller and Off The Wall are two of the greatest albums of the last 3 decades, and they're just as much Quincy's records as they are MJ's (at least to me).

namepeace said:

i know it really is a joke comparing the 2 but the sad thing is that kids growing up today will see usher as the king of pop.
