Michael Jackson is the biggest music artist in the world. Argue all you want, but he was and is the biggest thing out there. This is different. One of the people just interviewed on CNN made mention that anyone in their 30s sees Michael Jackson as a part of their childhood. I definitely do. From the posters on my bedroom wall to the knowledge that he forever changed music. and i think that's where us younger generation aren't "getting it" necessarily. I agree he changed music forever etc. But I didn't grow up with him and I'm not necessarily taking it has hard as others do. I'm sad he passed away, and in shock but it's not hitting me like it would if someone like JT passed away. Someone I grew up listening to and know better than him. I agree...I mean, I like his music (I was born in 85) but he wasn't a part of my childhood...he as there, but I didn't really care so much about him when I had NKOTB. My childhood was TLC, BSB, 'N Sync, Britney, Christina etc. It's sad he died, but I don't really have a connection with him like people in their 30s do. If it were, heaven forbid, someone I idolized so much I would be a wreck, totally. But yeah...I'm sad he's gone, but I guess I'm not feeling it...you know?

Younger people just don't get this. I'm 28 years old so my youngest memory is watching MJ as young as like 5 years old. I feel like I grew up with him. And I think it'd be huge news if Britney died but in a different way. She hasn't been around long enough to have inspired the artists like MJ has. Female pop artists have Madonna to look to and Janet for what they do now. Britney is so young she's inspired like...Miley Cyrus or something. It's totally not the same. It might feel the same to you younger people because you grew up with her but it's not the same at all.

Just like it's not the same for a younger person with Michael, it's not the same for you with Britney. So it really is the same, just with different idols (from different generations).

She definitely became more than just Michael Jackson's little sister. She became a superstar & icon in her own right. She's had a very long career.

No. I'm not just talking about it not being the same for me, I'm just saying Britney hasn't had the impact on music yet that Madonna or Michael have. It's not just about the older generation not being affected by her. It's the same with Justin. He's a huge huge musician and to his credit a lot of artists credit him with their sounds and stuff (like Chris Brown) but his impact on music is just a minor footnote like Britney's. Part of it just has to do with the passage of time. 30 years from now it will be different.

When he was still alive people would dog him like crazy. The entire WORLD is talking about this man right now. It's still hard to believe that the King Of Pop, Michael Jackson is dead.

Yea, I agree with that. Janet was a HUGE HUGE icon to me growing up. Because she did what Michael did but she was a chick. I was completely obsessed with her. I think for music videos Janet's influence is right up there.

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 was a huge fan of his as a child and even to my late teens when he came back out with his album Invincible. I am 25, so I was quite young when I was a fan of his. Even a couple of weeks ago I was watching some videos and performances of his just because I felt like it. There is probably not one corner in the world where MJ is not known. His impact is inter-generational. Not only was my mom a fan of his music at one point in her heydey, my little sisters even know some of his classic songs. People in other parts of the world are just waking up now to this news...This will definetly have an impact worldwide in so many ways. My mom said they even did breaking news on so many news segments on the Arabic sattelite dish! Still shocked about this...
