I thought it would be interesting to compare two of the biggest selling male
artists of all time. Yes, of course I'm talking about Michael Jackson and Justin
Bieber. But who is the current King Of Pop of YouTube?
We all know Justin Bieber already has one victory over Michael Jackson in the
box office. His movie titled "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" went on to beat
Michael Jackson's very own "This is it" documentary film.
Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never" documentary film shows the life of the
Canadian youngster from an early age. Justin was banging drums, strumming
guitars and playing keyboards, right from an early age. Simply watching the
documentary shows you how talented Justin truly is and how valued, he is in
today's music industry.
One thing that eluded Michael Jackson's entire musical career was his inability
to play any instrument on stage. Not once, in his 40 years of the music industry
was MJ ever seen playing an musical instrument. Unlike Justin Bieber, who plays
multiple instruments during his live concerts, which sends his adoring into a
frenzy.
So can Michael Jackson get one over Justin Bieber? Let's take a look at the
current YouTube offerings and count how many hits both artists have received
