I was watching the pandemonium around the Japan premiere of Michael, and although I know the hype is entirely due to Michael Jackson a big part of the film's success is Jaafar's performance. He's becoming a global celebrity through this experience and I'm wondering what's next for him when all this is over. Does he have what it takes to take over the Main Pop Boy scene, keep in mind he can REALLY sing and wanted to have a career in music before he was approached to play MJ.

He could have a Jermaine Jackson type of career theoretically, which isn't bad. But Janet or MJ tier naw

Idk but he's hot as ****

we got enough mj wannabes

the controversy surrounding MJ's name makes nepotism harder. look at Paris Jackson

I think he'd rather not

Absolutely not

He's okay with pedophilia so no

Just now, Janet said:

You know what I meant

He has 6 top 20 US hits though + that European Dance Pop song

Put an asterisk there, because Paris only works when she feels bored. She is the perfect example of a trust fund nepobaby who never feels the need to do anything or really commit to anything long term.

@OP It would need to be organic. Ideally he would take a long time to craft his own sound and concepts rather than hiring huge teams of writers and producers to make him into another trend-regurgitating artist.

She dropped an album in 2020 and just released two new songs like two weeks ago

He does but the shadow of Michael and Janet will be always be there and the comparisons will make it hard for him! I'd rather see him act more!
