Jacko's body of work has spanned over 40 years. It would be tough for anyone to touch the global fanbase he has amassed.

Bono is pretty large globally but he only reaches a certain generation.

Paul McCartney would be huge but it wouldn't be close to Jacko because he wasn't as successful as a solo artist. (I think his only hits after the Beatles were colaborations with Jacko and Stevie Wonder). Had the entire Beatles died in a plane crash or something then it could match Jacko's circus.

As much as I hate to say it. The one guy who is globally recoginized right now even in the poorer countries would be David Beckham. Us Americans may not feel the hype but all of the other soccer playing countries would feel the impact.

McCartney was plenty successful going solo. Problem is none of his work post-Beatles measured up to what he did with the Beatles. So you're talking about a guy who did his best work over 40 years ago. A lot of his fans are dead already.

How about Oprah...That would be huge I think



for hosting a talk show ?

for getting fat every time after losing a few pounds ?

for giving away a car once in a while ?

easily the most overrated person ever...

I believe Princess Diana had a big funeral and did they not do a concert for her ? She also died on a Saturday night here in the States/early Sunday in England so the networks had to scramble to get people in to cover the story. That story went on for weeks with did the paparazzi cause the crash, was it speed, or did the queen have her knocked off.

Blacks rape more than whites on AVG. I dont see why you turn this into a political thread and try to inject that bs though.

Puh-lease!!!!

Whites have honed on the date rape and giving bitches roofies and shit. Mexicans commit the serial violent knife to throat rape while their wife and dozen children are chilling at home not knowing a damn thing.

Black men don't rape black women enough to raise a stastic. So that leaves them to raping white women which is an instant prison sentence guilty or not. I think in the history of U.S. rape trials only Kobe Bryant escaped going to jail. Blacks may get accused of rape on more occasions. Which of course means jack shit considering brothas are the scapegoats for all crimes. I mean come on how many Susan Smith type child murders and Runaway Brides blamed their crimes on a black dude or a poor hispanic.

I know the truth hurts but come on. How many of you good white folks here can say firsthand you have been victimized or bullied or fucked over by a black guy?

LOL. There's a grain of truth there somewhere. Just off the top of my head, the craziest black criminal that got media attention in recent memory was that serial killing sniper guy and his teenager side kick. That's the only crazy black mo'fo i can think of right now. Now compare that to all the crazy, sick, twisted, demonic white mo'fo's in crimininal history like Ted Bundy, Dahmer, Susan Smith, Jim Jones, Charlie Manson, Tim McVeigh & Nichols, Son of Sam, Jack the Ripper, Menendez bros (their last name's hispanic, but they're white if you ask me), Zodiac Killer (never caught the bitch, but he's surprise, surprise.... white in the police sketches), on and on, and of course the latest crazy fuckin hick out of south carolina. Even the entertainment industry and their movies regarding twisted sick fucks have white people as the perpetrators (Buffalo Bill & Hannibal Lector, etc). Name one movie you watched that was about a black guy terrorizing the country w/ serial killings and other sick shit.

There was the Candyman. But then again he was killing people in the name of vengeance cause of the way whitey treated him in the post-slavery days for being in a relationship with a white girl.

MMMKAY. You new to this country son? The media gets off on portraying black people in a negative way of life. When a black person fucks up and robs and kills somebody they make sure they post his mugshot across your tv or computer screen or in your local paper.

Black people don't commit mass shootings on schools, malls or the workplace because their life sucks and they can't take it anymore. Believe me if they did you would hear about it. What you wouldn't hear about it is the newscasters, friends or witnesses try to paint the black person as an innocent little lost child who was influenced by video games or Marilyn Manson and wondering what went wrong or how it could have been prevented. Instead they would be calling him a monster and they would be reading off his rap sheet of past crimes and saying he should have already been behind bars in the first place.

Kinda tough to judge what the potential outcome woulda been for MJ's funeral considering they limited the amount of attendee's.

But to answer the treads question, I can't think of another entertainer who would garner this type of GLOBAL response.
