Justin Bieber The Next Michael Jackson?

Justin Bieber has made his appreciation for the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, very apparent on his Twitter profile. He has left a number of RIP messages for Jackson over the course of the last few days, and has made public mentions of Jackson quite a few times in recent interviews.

“I am not sure if there will be there will never be another Michael Jackson but it is possible,” said Jessica Jarrel when she was asked if anyone could take MJ’s place as the greatest pop musician of all time. “Justin Bieber is definitely on track to fill that void.”

The comment has received a lot of press over the course of the last few days. Many have said that they believe that she was out of line to say that Bieber could fill that void so early in his career, without a real track record. Many child singers have seen success, but Bieber has seen it at an unprecedented level for a singer alone.

Miley Cyrus was able to slide into a career as a singer based off of her success as an actress. Bieber was able to become the star that he is based on his singing talent alone.

It will be interesting to see how his career progresses from here. He is undoubtedly a good entertainer, but does he have the “it” factor that MJ had? He certainly has to learn how to dance a little better before he can be on the same level as Jackson.

    DREAM ON SUGAR ! NOBODY WILL EVER REPLACE MICHAEL JACKSON, JUSTIN IS JUST ANOTHER BUBBLE LIKE ” AARON CARTER “

    • dallas says:

      ya haah u are not good

      • kayle says:

        you are good jb

        • okeeday says:

          Ok, here’s the deal. Yes, Bieber can sing good. Lots of artists can (and many can’t.) But try to realize that there have been countless Teen boys that became popular with tween and teen girls in the music industry. True Bieber’s been more popular than most, HOWEVER he isn’t a great writer. His music isn’t composed by himself. The lyrics are typical ones about girls and love. If he wants to be seen as a better artist by all his haters, he needs to start producing his own music and really needs to develop better lyricism. Does he have what it takes? I have no idea, but to say that he is the closest to replacing MJ is off by a lot. There are probably a few dozen other pop artists closer than Bieber. Right now he is just another superstar teen era (Jonas Bros, Aaron Carter, Zac Efron…they never stop) You have to wait to see what happens after his voice gets deeper, see if he’s still popular and if he can delelope into a good writer.

    • Lyssa says:

      Hey listen Aaron carter was a good singer and dancer and he still is so leave him out of this and sorry Justin you will never be the next Michael Jackson.MJ is just to complicated for your tiny brain to handle. :)

    • Adrian says:

      this kid can never beat the likes of MJ, thats for sure! he didn’t go through blood and sweat that many artists go through before getting their big break. IMHO, JB ain’t staying for long.

  2. AK882 says:

    This is an insult to Michael’s Legacy. Justin Bieber has another 40+ years to try to fill MJ’s shoes, that is if he’s still around so far down the line!

    Not every singer is or can be as good as Michael Jackson, that’s why nobody has ever come close!!

    Who is Jessica Jarrel anyway and what makes her such an expert on Michael Jackson?

    Tabloid trash that’s what this article is, anything to sell news, especially about MJ….Grow-up for Gog’s sake!

    • Jon says:

      I agree Lyssa, MJ is a complicated character and it takes natural self-sophistication to be like him. Undoubtedly a genius a right-brain. Justin will be well-known for the rest of his life. I’m a 15 year old kid right now and I’m undiscovered. I’ve set my sights high this past week and I’m determined to be something like him.
      At first I heard Justin and I thought it was a girl singing..I was like WTF?! After going past his undeveloped voice, I saw him in numerous interviews and I’m pretty certain we’re on the same “astral plane” so to speak.
      Justin is the best thing that happened musically for me because the level of inspiration he set forth is remarkable.
      God Bless Justin Bieber!

  8. UpWithDisco says:

    This kid is definitely talented, no doubt about it. But the only reason we compare these artists that exist in the industry today to the legendary K.O.P., is because those are the ppl we see. But if we looked past mainstream, and onto those unknown, we’ll find ppl like this:

  20. lol@thisarticle says:

    If you mean Justin Bieber will die of a drug overdose and start being accused ot touching little Children, you might be correct. If you mean that Justin will match Michael Jackson’s entertaining ability then you might want to have your brain checked. ^^

  21. rocky says:

    the most overhyped singer i’ve ever seen, jst people lyk him cause he is a kid, and from jst ordinary background………..when on live he sings like a shit…….there are lot more better singers then him, jst who dnt have a godfather lyk usher for them…………

  22. Dale says:

    MJ is the king of pop hands down. But nobody will come close but Chris Brown and Usher are way closer that Bieber will ever be.

  23. Saydie says:

    Justin bieber is fresh out of his diaper and he sucks
    MJ could bend over and fart and it would sound 1000 times better then any sound justin bieber could make

    IF justin bieber ever WRITES and SINGS a song that has a message like Earth Song, Man In The mirror, or We Are The World he could be considered good

    hes like what 12? and he writes songs about falling in love…and have you realized its a diffrent girl in every video? PIG!

    if he ever makes a video as good as thriller…haha nevermind thats impossible…he would have to have talent!

    Justin Bieber will fade in 2-3 years. like every other gay teenage boy

    If justin bieber was ever gonna be like MJ he would have to be able to sing and dance…michael had star power! once you heard him you loved him and you could tell he was a man…justin bieber sounds like an 8 year old girl

    An entertainer like Michael Jackson only comes around once in a life time! He could sing,dance,and draw…he loved life when i would want to die, he sang about saving the world not sleezy clubs and sex…and in his music videos the girls were wearing clothes…Michael Jackson IRPLACABLE!

    • bonaxa says:

      you’re right .

      but ,mj can draw ?
      if he could, then I’m the same with mj.
      I can dance, sing and draw and that is my talent.
      but not as good as mj.
      God bless u-MJJ-

  24. Sammy says:

    6 things justin bieber needs to do
    1.pull up his pants
    2.get over himself
    3.stop singing and move back to canada
    4.apologize for making my ears bleed
    5.”Beat it” ;)
    6.fall in a hole…and die

    • bonaxa says:

      very cruel.
      but it is a good word for jb.
      it may motivate jb to leave the world of music forever.
      My ears bleed to hear her voice-)

  25. anoymous says:

    Okay, when a person does a glide and sings high, and has mostly teen fans, hes never going to be “the next king of Pop.” In ordeer to be the King of Pop, you have to touch millions and billions of fans and not just girls. To be honest with you, I could him being the prince of pop, only if he has a man and women fan base so far, he just has a female base but he really could reach to the point of him being the Prince of Pop.

  26. luis says:

    WTF!? justin bieber will never be the next michael jackson the big difference is michael is actually good a justin bieber is not!michael jackson is the king of pop and nobody can take that away from michael is a million times better!god bless michael jackson and god damn justin bieber!

  27. luis says:

    JUSTIN BIEBER IS SUPER GAY!ALL OF HIS SONGS ARE ABOUT BOYS!

  28. Tom says:

    Micheal Jackson had the biggest selling albums of all time, when Justin releases his 1st album i doubt more it would get more than 5 million sold copies, Micheal’s albums sold almost 700 million copies beat that Baby Bieber

  29. bonaxa says:

    nothing will be like MJ
    MJ can sing all types of songs.
    such as pop, rock, soul, R & B, gospel, hip-hop, and more.
    he even danced the dance of the region like in the video Black or White.
    he has broken many world records.
    and he will not be replaced by anyone.
    I beg for MJ KING OF POP remain forever.
    to honor the legend.
    Angel Michael Joseph Jackson 1958-forever.

    Jb whereas only R & B music and he’s not a pop music icon.
    in fact he is always copying MJ.
    he had a lot to learn.
    even until the end of the world he would not be able to be like MJ.

  30. SZ says:

    Yeah, FAIL. EPIC, EPIC FAIL. In 5 years, Justin Bieber will be nobody. ONE year of fame, ONE Ep, ONE tour, ONE album, you calling him a LEGEND? NO WAY.

  31. Seth - Sound Engineer says:

    LOL – I don’t wanna be rude,or POP somebody’s little balloon, or rain on anyone’s parade, BUT neither Justin Bieber or anyone else, for that matter, will every take MJ’s place. When it comes down to pure talent MJ was and is without equal in the genre of POP. I guess that when we lose an aftist of MJ’s stature we immediately look for a replacement and compare them to everyone new who comes along. Unfortunately, talent the likes of Elvis, MJ, The Beatles, James Dean, etc. just doesn’t come along every day. That’s what makes them SO Very Special and why we should treasure the time they have to share those wonderful gifts with us. Peace, Love, & Good Will to All. :)

  32. Tom says:

    What is society coming to. Justin Bieber will never reach MJ’s standard he is only popular to teenage girls who have no idea what real music is.

  33. JD says:

    JB the next MJ? – Who came up with this joke?
    Did you Bieber fanatics see his AMA performance? Not only was he off key throughout the entire song, but his voice literally cracked at the 1:08 mark. Further, he faked playing the piano. Notice how the camera never focused on his hands while he was supposedly playing the piano.

    JB is nothing more then an auto-tune mechanical puppet who does what his puppeteers tell him to do. If he is such a great singer, let him prove it to the world by singing in true a cappella fashion – that means no mic, no musical track and no studio ehancement. Just him and his voice.

    In fact, tell him to go on the “Howard Stern Show” and prove to the world that he can sing. If he can’t or refuses to do the latter, then I guess we have our answer.

    MJ was a genius in terms of his creativity and vocal talent. JB does not even come close to smelling MJ’s feet. MJ’s fan base extended beyond the tweenies and the little tots – LOL – Enuf said.

  34. Pechus says:

    He’s just a cute kid & a FAD for tweens. He’ll never come anywhere near Michael Jackson’s calibor. The tabloids are always missing the mark & the Greed of the music industry is never ending!! NO ONE worked harder nor did it better than Michael Jackson!! No one in the industry comes even close!!

  35. mikee says:

    it’s rude to post comments like that. You can tell everyone here that you dont like Justin and just let it be, but dont leave the offensive words. We all know that MICHAEL JACKSON is the King of Pop and the Greatest ENTERTAINER of All Time,we dont doubt that. There will NEVER be another Michael Jackson. Ever. Someone like him Truly came once in a lifetime and I love him so much.he will never be forgotten,especially in his fans’ hearts..mj is very kind and loving and humble and sexy and everything and he would not like if someone’s been criticized and offended. He’s a humanitarian and he will feel bad if people were arguing like this.especially when he’s involved. So leave the kid Justin alone,and stop behaving like toddlers! He’s got alot of time to prove himself and every singer started from a scratch.. Let him grow into a better singer.

  36. aleee says:

    well i definetly dont think that jb is like mj yet be he can FURSURE make it.. he has the fan base music talent voice and looks…..btw he was a million times better lookin than mj and im not hating…its juss the facts! i love justin bieber and im a true beliver till the end and yess im going to his premiere in LA!!!!

  37. 92reshaun says:

    are you serious with this b.s no one will ever have the talent of the one and only Michael Jackson!! all of the biggest icons/legends to have ever done it have happily taken a knee to the king of music.. how dare anyone disrespect his legacy and hardwork.. justin beiber is only something to talk about here in america but anywhere else in this world they would laugh to death at a statement such as this

  38. Alison Clarke says:

    JB is NOT the next Michael Jackson. I love Michael Jackson he’s the King of Pop MJ will never be placed. The moonwalk will live on forever. Michael Jackson changed it all MJ was an amazing dancer. And Justin Bieber no way!!! No way he is not the next Michael Jackson.
