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.
