i am wondering why people say that???

I love both artist but I agree with GaGa I mean media don't really know what they are talking about. They never asked her if she wants to top Michael ( even though they don't).( Or maybe they know Lady GaGa is hot right now but they don't think of Michael Legacy like others do. And you know how it is when kids not all but they don't know what real music is. <-----my answer)

Remember American culture seems to be instant gratification and a mentality of moving on to next BIG then. Just watch some of our TV shows: America's Next Top Model, So You Think You Can Dance, Survivor, and etc. Reality TV is sooooo popular!!! The idea is that we pick the BEST for one season, but we are on to the next best thing the next season. We have the attention span of "one season". Musically our attention span is even worst. MJ was supposed to be "dethroned" by Justin Timberlake, and then there was Eminem, and then there was Justin Bieber, and now it's LADY GAGA!!! What's more troubling is why they feel the need to take MJ's title in the first place- NO RESPECT. I have never heard of Elvis' title being possibly given to another artist. Have you?!!! I don't think I have. The media is perpetuating all of this and they know there is no way in h*ll, that any of these artists can actually deliver. Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake?!!! Oh, really?!!! But the media does it, I think, as a humiliation of MJ or maybe to suggest they don't recognize him as the KING!!! I think it is ridiculous!!! Mike's title has been retired. Sorrrrrry!!! Lady Gaga seems to be a pop icon, okay? But she can't come close to what MJ has done. But she should aspire to what MJ has done. That might motivate her to be the best at what she does.

i agree why compete with michael when you havent done anything at all yet but i know michael is the greastest artist ever R.I.P michael God bless you aka the king of pop

Lady Gaga is AWESOME! MJ was her influnce.
