Slow but beautiful! Wham's stuff is a bit dated but not GM's IMO. His ballads are borderline standards that hold up well. When George does do uptempo it's usually on point. Other than OTW, MJ's uptempo sounds dated especially the tracks that were with the hot producers of the moment. George needs to do more uptempo because I was not feeling "Feeling Good" Yeah, not one of my favorites either. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Michael or George??? Even though George is #2, Michael is still that dude. George's stuff from 1996 has been so damn slow save for Amazing, Fastlove, and a couple others. Michael's stuff isn't really dated, but most of Wham's stuff is dated, save for Careless Whisper, If You Were There, Blue, and I'm Your Man Here is the true conclusion, if I see another thread like this, I'll send LisaRaye to bite some bitches! 
and I think most of his stuff sounds dated. Some of Michael's songs sound dated, but most of his songs sound very fresh and will never date. I don't know how anyone can think George Michael is more talented than Michael Jackson. That's like saying Bon Jovi are better than The Beatles, and that Lenny Kravitz is a better guitar player than Jimi Hendrix. George Michael is bland, period. His music is suited to playing on the telephone when you wait in line to talk to a bank etc, it's that bland. BenS71 | |

people who state that george michael is better than mj are only saying it because its easy to diss mj..
no wonder he's been compared to fucking jesus.. why do ppl not have the guts to tell the truth when it comes to mj.. its so much easier. and im sorry but mj's songs are far more complex and far more original than gm. Black or White Billie Jean Earth song man in the mirror liberian girl who's lovin you Beat It Stranger in Moscow every single song is completely unique.. and im sorry but none of the above sound 'dated' what a ridiculous thing to say. compared with Careless Whisper Jesus to a Child Father Figure Waiting for that day Praying for Time... they are all pretty well crafted songs with great vocals... but nothing truly original.. people have been singing songs like that for decades. | |

BenS71 said: Michael Jackson is a genius of singer, dancer and songwriter/composer. George Michael has a brilliant singing voice, but he's an overrated performer and his music is just pedestrian disco music.
It's an insult to music to compare a much lesser talent like George Michael to a musical genius like Michael Jackson.  | |

Michael was born with Godlike Status... It seemed to take a few years before George caught on with most people that appreciate quality vocalists... Michael was a Phenomenon out the BOX ! | |

waiting for that day - is one of my favourite tracks of all time....
but i also love "human nature", "PYT" and "can't help it" I think Michael's 70's and 80's dance tracks are better than George's. But GM is really good with ballads and more convincing... | |

Well, George has a better voice.
However, Michael does have more siblings. So I guess they're about head to head. | |

Overall talent? I'd give that one to Michael. i agree , but george michael has shown his tallent much more over the last ? 10 15 years. he makes better use of it. and that sums up this comparison par on the singing department there both great although we dont know how mj sounds live nowadays. overall talent michael. | |

That third pic of MJ with the bow tie? WTFIT? Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

raw talent? MJ.
what they do with it? GM, but only marginally at this point. the lack of output (and quality output) from the 2 of them in the last decade is appalling for pop artists of their calibre. loved the GM show in Chicago though. he isn't so far gone, like MJ, that he can't redeem himself with another album. | |

This is my answer.  "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

graecophilos said: I think MJ is deeply musical though he's not a musician. He wrote some of the biggest pop hits at an very young age, but if you compare what each of them did at the same age I think george Michael is the better artist.
GM was 20 when he recorded Make It Big! He wrote Last Christmas, Go-Go, Everything She Wants for it. (an at 17 Careless Whisper)!! The rest of the songs are listenable as well! MJ when he was twenty: OTW was mainly produced by Quincy Jones, only three songs by MJ and (imo) the best ones wrote Rod Temperton! When they were 25: Michael worked on Thriller. Again, he wrote only 4 songs (but they're fantastic). GM wrote FAITH. not only did he write ALL the songs on it, they're also fantastic and hav great lyrics. they're intimate and deep and sensitive. I just think that MJ's best albums are the ones where he didn't write all of the songs. He can definitively write great songs but he's not as talented to carry a whole album with meaningful songs! And just compare what George Michael did in his 30s! Michael Jackson could have never achieved this! I'm seeking for some hot arguments!  I agree with a previous poster- they are different and both great- why does one have to be better? Michael Jackson is a musician- he played instruments on all his albums- more so on Dangerous, HIStory and Invincible. Michael writes with his mouth- he beatboxes all the instruments onto a tape, and the music is transposed from there. What about Destiny and triumph? almost co-written and written completely by Michael. These albums came before OTW and before Thriller. Michael is a very talented writer. I agree again with a previous poster who said it's impossible to compare their writing skills. As for vocals, it's a matter of who you prefer- as they are both amazing-, and I am pretty sure you all know who I am gonna say is best.  www.maximum-jackson.com

Fuck that! I got to get in on this. Now if we're talking about Michael pre-Thiller (some people seem to think his carrer did'nt start until OTW) it's Michael hands down. Imo Michael is one of the top five singers in motown history I love george's voice but shit let's be real Michael was a superstar when george was trying to get his carrer started. | |
