The only thing I feared would bring MJ's influence down was the media. MJ would have been even more dominant if it weren't for the media who portrayed him in the worst way possible. Michael, although, remained huge because of his extraordinary talent. However, I sense a change in tide. It is beginning to be "cool" to be an MJ fan. Media has begun to change Michael's portrayal. If things continue, MJ will be the biggest in death. Because frankly, MJ is the most talented with all his unique gifts. He should have been hailed as the King of all singers by the entire world long ago. The only thing that kept MJ from being officially the greatest is the media, although, he unofficially is. Everyone shuts up when confronted with the dazzling records of the great Michael Jackson. Maybe in death he will claim his rightful place as the undisputed number one in his profession. What would have happened to Elvis's legacy if he went through what MJ went through? Plus, Michael achieved a unique feat before his death. What artist would sell the fastest selling tour of all time under MJ's circumstances? NO ONE! He was rumored to have lost his voice, didn't tour in 12 years, haven't put out an album in 8 years, charged with molestation, charged with so many other things in court, considered crazy and weird.....etc. Yet, he caused all that frenzy and madness just by announcing the tours in a two minute conference. Other "artists" didn't go through 5% of the hell MJ did and market themselves in every chance by going to talk shows and all that stuff. However, no one even dares to dream of what MJ did after years and years of negativity. Michael is supreme.
