Who cares, why are people so butthurt over this. There is always a artist of this generation that they compared from the past nothing new. We know she not on MJ level so why give questlove the time, questlove can run his mouth and continue to be on that mediocre show called jimmy fallon. That déjà vu song timmy played for me yesterday need to be my theme song when I’m here. and we not in the 50's , 60 's ,70's , 80's ,hell 90's anymore , Music has went downhill and continue to. No matter what artists will always be compared deal with the shit that's out now and played a old michael album and call it a day.


why you want the thread to die rolleyes let people rant lol ,The org is boring without those threads.

The talented beyonce is nowhere near the legendary MJ.

The person who said that must be on serious crack.

Yeah, you know I had to give my two cents on it...Check out what I (Murphy's Law) had to say over at Vibe.com.....


Murphy's Law: ‘Beyoncé Is The New MJ' …Is Questlove Nuts?
VIBE.COM

At a moment when virtually everyone is debating the pros and cons of a Tiger Woods Masters comeback, the Roots’ opinionated bandleader and drummer Questlove drops a little something to make the Net go crazy. BEYONCÉ IS THE NEW MICHAEL JACKSON. This supremely ballsy statement, which some fans reacted to as if it was a treasonous action on par with selling Nuclear arms to Iran, was initially made on Twitlonger, but quickly spread to the Root’s Okayplayer home base and into parts of the blogging universe.

“No one is EVER disputing MJ being the STANDARD,” Quest pointed out. “[But Beyoncé] is well on her way at a quicker pace than the unspoken. This is year 10 for her at THIS level. It took MJ 13 years before he became GOD status. If you are to pick the ONE figure in music today that is taking that baton: [Usher]? Justin 1.0? [Chris Brown]? Sorry. [Beyoncé] appeals to all races. All lifestyle creeds from the kiddest of the kid, to the churchest of the church. Straights, Huxtable men…Housewives and hoes. She can ACTUALLY SING. And dances with the best of them. [She’s] a regular on most fashion mags, sells out stadiums, wins countless Grammies, makes anthems, got bank…is her own industry. (still counts for something right?)”

Not even some of Quest’s most hardcore followers could co-sign such blasphemy. And it didn’t help that his theory came on the heels of news that MJ’s estate secured the biggest record deal in history with Sony Music—$250 million. You could almost imagine MJ giggling from the grave at the notion that any of today’s stars could fit into his mammoth penny loafers. Needless to say, responses were sharp and at times comically brutal, with some readers even pointing to the Afro-haired stick man’s close relationship with Ms. Carter and her other half Jay-Z.

Roll the highlights:

Beyonce is 80 percent thighs and ass, 20 percent talent.

[She] jacks other folks’ songs and takes credit.

She's never done anything close to touching Off the Wall.

The J5 Motown audition tape alone runs Yonce and that horseweave off the Kentucky derby track.

I think she needs to take some time off, maybe have a baby or two and come back with a more mature look and sound.

No one has sold as many records as MJ. Period.

There can be no heir to MJ's throne…He made the chair & took it with him when he left.....

Okay, so let’s take a deep breath, y’all. While it’s true that Beyoncé has never reached the mind blowing commercial and cultural heights that MJ had (As I stated in a previous Murphy’s Law, it’s nearly impossible to overstate Mike's overall impact in the early ‘80s. Show me another artist responsible for single-handedly saving an entire music industry from economic turmoil with just one album), to be fair to Quest, some of his points were on to something.....

Read the rest and comment here....

Acts these days are usually in one day, out the next. There's no anticipation, no excitement


for example, you don't see people clamoring in anticipation for Justin Timberlake's new album. You don't see mass hysteria for stars anymore

It's different these days.


Michael had grown ass folks crying and passing out at his concerts lol

That because he sucks, he doesn't sing ,he can't dance, he sings from his nose, nasal ...disbelief

:shrug: Probably. lol


Quest really had me confused with this one....ah well....just stick to playing those drums, my man.


One thing i find funny though is that Prince is the only one out of this trio that rarely gets his "throne challenged" by media hysteria and its probably because....its extremely hard to match someone to him. Who can do what he does!? All them instruments to that ability, untouchable live shows which combine musicianship and performance, dance, produce, "act", "direct", poetry, style etc, etc.
With others, its just because they can dance a bit and sing, which isn't enough to warrant an MJ title but, they get the MJ treatment anyway because he was essentially the top song and dance man, same with Madge.
But, Prince, you need that song and dance quality and then all the rest listed which is probably the most rare talent.

But, anyway, ive gone off a bit, Quest, if you ask me, is looking for attention.
