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

[TripleAgent]

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

True or False?

Nothing arguable about it.

Chris Breezy is one of the greatest dancers of his generation. This is undeniable.

When he first started out, he had a lot of potential and a promising career. His first album is a classic.







What led to his downfall is snuffing Rihanna in the face

 

[NeoSeeker]

The problem with Chris is that he never really grew artistically. He doesn't have THAT SONG everyone knows.

I will say that when his second album came out, he seemed to be on cusp of mainstream superstardom, but, well...

 

[Will Ross]

He was on his way had the rihanna thing never happened.
20 yr old mj and 20 yr old cb was in the same position

Here’s the problem in a nutshell .

You’ve mapped out Chris Brown’s trajectory against MJ’s but Chris Brown is his own person.

“Oh Chris was the same age as Michael when he did such and such so if it worked out for Michael then that’s how it would’ve gone for Chris.”

???

Elvis, Beatles, MJ level Mega stardom isn’t pre ordained and there’s absolutely no indication that the Rihanna thing derailed Chris from becoming the biggest thing on the planet.

 

[Ziggiy]

Chris Brown isn’t even better than Ginuwine

 

[MicIsGod]

Mike ain’t have bars like Chris

He does have those songs.

But back to my original statement, he doesn't have that song across ALL RACES everyone knows.

Black people know deuces, loyal, look at me now, ain't no way, etc.

White people, latinos, africans, european people don't. But they knew billie jean.

This is the difference between the R&B label and the Pop label

 

[Shadow King]

No.

Chris Brown isn’t even better than Ginuwine

Vocally? no

 

[@OffHalsted]

Chris was definitely gone be the Black R&B Version of Mike.. Trap & Traditional R&B Dying killed his chances

 

[CarltonJunior]

He was on his way had the rihanna thing never happened.
20 yr old mj and 20 yr old cb was in the same position

20 year old MJ had lived out a whole 10+ year music career already as a member of the jackson 5 already going platinum

20 year old CB was a hot upstart with potential that caught on quick but had a lot to prove still

I wouldn't say it's the exact same position, no

 

[inndaskKy]

I couldn't name or sing a single Chris Brown song if my life depended on it.

I just know him as the guy who beat up Rihanna.

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

In a way, he’s at least achieved some level of likeness to him but not equal or greater.

Mike let the art and the entertainment aspect of it all, the music business, really create his character and that’s what makes Mike, Mike.

People look at weird metrics to determine similarities. Like how popular one is, or how many records someone made. I just look at the artist and how they develop. Chris really only took the dancing and singing aspects of Mike.

If you consider Mike to only be a singer and dancer, you’d have an argument

Next ginuwine
