Was Michael Jackson really that famous?

[kimocomplex]

Yes Michael was huge.
But he took a step away from fame, with all the controversy's piling up and him becoming a father, plus his music was struggling.

Nobody stays on top forever

 

[websurfer]

Right up there with Abba.

 

[Thrawn33]

Yep. Insanely famous.

 

[dc007]

Yes he is top 5 world famous along with Jesus, Mohammad, Hitler and Einstein.

 

[Gene Tunney]

So famous during the 1980's that he not only globally galvanized the legitimacy of pop music among generations, but also inspired one of the most influential creators of those generations.

Spoiler

 

[Killer Whale]

Yes he was and only ignorance will say different.

 

[odog]

He had more of a cult following among a select few hardcore fans, (kind of like GG Allin for example). Little known fact is that his siblings were also in the music business.

Who I gg all in?

Who I gg all in?

A guy who went all in

 

[odog]

He has the biggest selling album of all time and is probably the 2nd most recognizable figure of all time, only behind Jesus Christ.

Except that Micheal Jackson is actually real.

Nah, I’m good.

 

[Noveltymortar]

Nah, I’m good.

I'm not so sure about that!

 

[Mike]

Yes, although if you weren't around during the 80s and 90s I could see not knowing. He was the biggest music star in the world for years.

 

[Streeter]

There's Elvis, Michael.Jackson, Muhammed Ali,Michael Jordan, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, etc level famous. Jackson is top 3 of that Level likely 2nd only to Elvis

He's far past Elvis. MJ is number #1.
There's no debate

It's pretty universal among all scholars that Jesus Christ was real.

Christian scholars, sure.

I have a degree in history. I have seen the bias that exists.

I looked and couldn't find much.

You haven't looked very hard. Type into Google and you'll see.

Non Christian scholars wrote about him too.
It's pretty universal that Jesus existed, now what you might be arguing is about whether or not he did the feats that they claim
