The amount of times she is referenced in tv shows and movies is crazy. I remember someone was trying to track it all here, did they end up doing it? 

I feel like this is an impossible task, lol!

 

I have a running joke with a friend that (almost) every book I read that's been written in the last 5-10 years mentions Beyoncé somehow. it's kind of insane. she is still what people think of when they think of "pop star" regardless of the chart/sales stats.

 

I'm still gagging at this outtake, everything looks so perfect (and better than the over edited pic used for the deluxe cover)

The Mufasa soundtrack has already been released...

 

she could still release a standalone track. she did release a whole standalone album after the first movie's soundtrack after all.

As a Michael fan Bey has surpassed him in some categories.

 

Vocals - Bey

Albums - Bey

 

Dancing - Michael

Videography - Michael

 

& obviously Bey's strengths are related to the music which is what really matters so she edges him out for me. As much as I love Bey's videos she's not touching Black Or White, Bad, Remember The Time etc. Maybe if she actually dropped the Rennie/CC visuals she could overtake him on visuals but we'll never know.

 

Spoiler

Michael obviously has the tours to his credit too  & longevity (but Bey will surpass his longevity if she's still smashing in 5 years)

 

Beyoncé is the more consistent artist and performer. Period. Michael Jackson 26 years in would not have been capable of giving a RWT.

 

Beyoncé will never touch his fame, hits or status and at the end of the day Beyoncé was not a childhood prodigy. I have also yet to see a Beyoncé music video as amazing as Smooth Criminal. Beyoncé also didn't write Billie Jean (I'd say the closest thing we have to that is Independent Women and yeah…no)

 

I'm so sick of the comparisons to anyone atp. Beyoncé is simply a legend in her own right. Beychella has yet to be topped by any artist, living or dead. And her dedication to creating amazing bodies or work/moments in pop culture so far into her career is unheard of.

Beyonce >> Michael Jackson

 

But MJ has never been the be all, end all for me...no matter how many records he's sold. 

So what I'm hearing is by the end of the week we're either:

 

going to Zimbabwe 

going to Solana 

going to Act III

 

or going to be delusional and  disappointed

Talent Wise for sure !!! There are many Producers , Her Vocal Coach , Music DIrector and Creative Director pointing that out . 

There is also a Interview with one of DC / Girls Tymes Managers / producers pointing out how B could sing all MJ / Jackson 5 songs note for note at 8 years old .

What came as second nature to Michael as a child, had to be taught to Beyoncé. Beyoncé's skill was developed, which I honestly think is more impressive in the long run. But between the two of them, only Michael was a child prodigy. Period.

Im so ******* excited like I just know she is about to put on a SHOW. 
 

I know the live arrangements are about to EAT.

Never thought we'd have to endure Beyonce vs MJ debates in the base of all places

To be fair, there isn't much of a debate 

 

I was just pointing out how we don't need MORE articles from publications comparing the two bc at this point they're legends for different reasons 

Can you feel the love tonight.

Still dissagree. And the producers and Directors & Labels A&Rs who worked with MJ themselves and B would too . I work in the entertainment business , and can tell you no matter how great your training is to archive the Level of Greatness as such as B you have to have "something" special or else anybody can become Her or MJ etc with training and i have seen it time and time again . There are Multiple Stars / upcomming stars . Lets take for example Tate Mcrae Great Dancer ( profesional background ) has been doing it since her childhood , she will never obtain the level of B or MJ . And being a Child prodigy doesnt mean that every skill is at the same level at the same time or to the same extend .

I wasn't expecting act iii's lead or anything, but I was hoping for maybe a CC equivalent of My House
