Chris Brown At No Point Was Ever Close To Nor On His Way To Being The Next Michael Jackson...Lol

An aspirational conversation if I ever heard one. I guess that's what happens when you wear your influences on your sleeve so much that people get suckered into mentioning you and them in the same sentence even when it isn't merited (.ie Donovan Mitchell & D Wade)

Chris Brown was never the most famous person on earth
Chris Brown was never among the 5 biggest acts in music much less the biggest act in music
Chris Brown doesn't have a seminal album much less multiple

I don't know anyone that caused the hysteria that MJ did trying to get from point A to point B since his hey day...The Pope? Princess Diana?

He's had a great career and he's still going however!

We didnt know our music was trash and not timeless in real time,forgive us

He was the next usher. That’s about it.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Has to pass usher first

 

[LuuqMaan]

I fully agree with you OP

 

[GooPunch]

I'd put him on the Usher and Bobby Brown tier; maybe a half or one tier below that.

Not the MJ, James Brown, Prince tier.

The way some of you overrate Mike man. He’s the Goat but he’s not this untouchable dude. He was putting out iffy shyt after Dangerous

The MJ tribute concert was why he was put on that pedestal, but yeah, the next Usher is probably the more realistic comparison

CB's first album was R&B, and while he could do pop, that wasn't his bread and butter, so his audience wouldn't have had enough white people to be the next MJ

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

MJ was in a league of his own and it's a hard sell comparing anyone to him. I think Chris Brown had to potential to be more of a house hold name if it wasn't his fyck shyt behavior off the stage. IMO he doesn't have half the career of what it should be.

Bruno Mars had a better chance of being the next MJ than Chris Brown.
Chris don't even have mainstream appeal.
Never seen a white, asian, or latino listening to Chris.

Dangerous came out after he was already like 20 years into the game breaking records

 

[Emoryal]

I agree

 

[bigde09]

Dangerous came out after he was already like 20 years into the game breaking records

You can make the argument Dangerous was half mid too

 

[CarltonJunior]

You can make the argument Dangerous was half mid too

You aren't helping your case

Michael Jackson was arguably the most famous person on the planet for years.

True or False?
