no one on earth has surpassed this guy in entertainment. Look at this video: Michael Jackson in London 1992 - Jam he could have just stood on stage for five minutes picked his nose and left and the crowd still would be going nuts. Michael Jackson was and always will be the best entertainer in history. too bad his personal life was all screwy. so do you agree that MJ is the best entertainer to grace this earth?

I think he is really good at both singing and dancing which is why I like him a lot. Really talented. But I don't think he is the best entertainer.

My Dad has all of his albums, and as for a musician, is incredibly inspiring. I am not a fan of most of his songs, but he was pretty much a whole entertainment package. Much respect for him.

That was what was great about the King of Pop. His music, his dancing, his shows, effects everything was top quality. A TOTAL package.

MJ was one of the great talents of our Era. He will be one of the few artists and musicians that will still be talked about 100 years from now, along with the Beatles and maybe the Rolling Stones.

Ferenec/Franz Liszt made anti-semitic statments he should not be mentioned in a topic like this. He was a bitter man who belittled the Jewish people. "The day will come when all nations amidst which the Jews are dwelling will have to raise the question of their wholesale expulsion, a question which will be one of life or death, good health or chronic disease, peaceful existence or perpetual social fever." Yeah **** him, his music is decent but I could never listen to him perform it because how bigoted he is (well was). So I love his music but I would not pay for a concert if he was still alive.

He'd be better if he didn't stand around for 2 minutes listening to people scream before he started his songs, like in that video Not sure if he's the best but he's certainly up there along with freddie mercury and miley cyrus.

An extraordinary talent. Say what you will about his songs and vocals, but his dancing was untouchable.

Figures doesn't mean anything. If we go by figures then I guess Justin Bieber is one of the best performers of all time????

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="V4LENT1NE"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Freddie was awesome....but MJ put on a Spectacular Show, not just music and dancing, but sets, effects etc.

The music should always surpass special effects and sets, dancing etc.

Doesnt really matter though, if I go to a concert I go for amazing music, it shouldnt have to be hightened by effects and dancing. Look at Queen at Live Aid, just a band and a stage and Queen got 70,000 people to clap at Radio Gaga even at the far back, that is what a concert is all about. If we go by your logic that means Britney Spears was better than Queen and Elvis becuase she dances and has fancy lighting...

I think that stuff does matter at a concert. Even so, take all that away and MJ is still the greatest! Absolute greatest!

Elvis would love to have a word with you.

Seriously, Elvis was one hell of a good entertainer. He never grew to the size of MJ because he didn't have the international appeal.

That "matters" at concerts where the performance itself isn't strong. Anyway on topic...no he wasn't. That's just your opinion. Hell I don't even think his music was that interesting. Just basic pop music....*yawn*
