If it had been Madonna instead of Michael, she would have just a lot of press and stations dedicated to her. But not nearly as many as MJ's. I don't think BET would have Madonna day. They would acknowledge her but not dedicate their day.

I swear from 6 pm to 3am when I went to sleep BBC World only carried Micheal Jackson news. They didn't do one other story. I don't even remember them doing one story non-stop like that ever. Even for the last US election or when the last Pope died they would insert something else that was happening.

Iam probably phrasing this all wrong, but it would depend if it came totally out of the blue. Everyone is shocked and devasted by Michael Jackson, he was one of a kind that's understandable. But I think its the "out of the blueness?" that has shocked alot of people. If a well known star died of an on going illness it wouldn't be as shocking. Deaths that are totally unexpected create alot more media that that of someone who was known to be dying. Totally probably said that wrong, sorry, just rambling

If Madonna dies at 90 it wouldn't be the same. There are a lot of artists who "deserve" this kind of coverage but unless it's an unexpected death it won't be the same.

She isn't a great singer. She's not even a decent dancer anymore. She is the paps wet dream poster child. Her death will probably be as big as Paris, Lindsay, and other 'socialites'. She isn't even respected as a musician. WTF. MTV would probably have a hard time getting people to call in to have anything positive to say about Britneys career other than she used to have a hot body. Corrected.

As far as women go, Britney's death will rival Marilyn's and Madonna's.

She is a world wide figure. She would get major coverage. However it wouldn't be THIS type of coverage. It wouldn't be a bunch of people talking about her influence on a generation, etc. Britney has had her moments but you don't hear artists coming out and saying they were inspired by Britney Spears to do what they do. You hear that all across the spectrum about Michael. So she'd get coverage. But not MJ type of coverage. Not Diana type of coverage. I agree that the only other person who would probably garner this type of MJ coverage still around today is Madonna. It always amazed me that she, MJ and Prince were all born in the summer of 1958. Prince in June, Madonna and MJ in August. How amazing is that? I agree.

Her career is like 10 years old and she will be remembered as a great pop artist. But she didn't pioneer shit and she sure as well didn't break down any barriers or pave the way for anyone. Sorry, but it's true. Facts are facts. Anyone else who has an inkling to compare Britney's impact to Michael's needs to check their head.

I think any iconic figure would have this kind of media circus surrounding them. MJ was a legend and his death was out of nowhere. He was a person who you thought would be in his elderly years when finally passed. Not 50 years old.

I grew up as a child listening to his music as well as the Jackson 5. My dad used to play his albums every Sunday morning. Despite the troubles he had or the things he may have done the man was a musical genius.
