I was watching the news in my hotel room in MD when they were talking about when MJ and Fawcett died, and Fawcett had only a minute and they were going on and on and on about MJ like he was the best thing there was.
JK37 wrote:Let's just be honest here, comparing MJ to Fawcett is like comparing the New England Patriots or Pittsburgh Steelers to the Detroit Lions. Actually it is probably more like comparing the Patriots or Steelers to the Liberty Flames football team in a world sense when it comes to popularity. MJ had sold nearly eight hundred thousand tickets to his England tour at 50-75 pounds a pop. Jackson was probably the greatest musician over the past 30 years. I'm not sure there is anyone even close.flames1971 wrote:LUconn wrote: Honestly, I'd say he is more well known these days than Fawcett.Exactly.

That is more bc Fawcett's was no surprise at all.

Even Jonathan Falwell preached about having her poster when he was a kid.Still not even on the same planet as MJ though in terms of popularity. I was a baby during Farrah's big days, so perhaps I'm under-evaluating her popularity, but Michael was still probably a top 10 world celebrity (I'd say top 5, because of he seems to still be REALLY popular in other countries) before his death. He broke all records for concert ticket sales when he announced his tour this past year. Farrah hasn't been in the top 100 celebrities in 20 years.
