MJ never had to dance on anything but a square stage, he never went across a stage that went into the crowd and had various step levels. I honestly can't beleive i'm even talking about the VMAS in 2013 makes me feel my age. We shall respectfully disagree on this. You got some moxy girl. |

They dont necessarily have to live up to MJ standards specifically but the past recipients have made iconic game changing music videos. I dont even think all of Janets music videos are on the same level as Michael same with Madonna but they have more than a handful of iconic music videos that warrants them winning this award. I am not "discrediting" them or their videos. I just dont think they have made any groundbreaking videos that have made a profound impact on MTV or pop culture. When I think of this award I think of artists who have made game changing videos that still influence today and believe it or not that is why the award is named after Michael Jackson because they believe the winners in some way modeled off that same level of creativity and influence which I feel Brittany nor Justin have. I am not ignoring their videos. I dont remember any of their videos and I dont think their videos have made a significant impact on pop culture. But thats my opinion and if you think other wise so be it. |

I responded with that gif because I think your arguement is laughable and utterly ridiculous. The fact that you had the audacity to say that Justin sings as well as dances on the same level of Michael Jackson speaks volumes... Justin has a very average voice and he is a very average dancer. He is a dime a dozen. Michael was not.. Michael innovated the music video into what it is today and created the short film. That was something that had not been done before his time. He also implemented rehearsed choregraphy in the videos as well. Michael came up with the choregraphies and the ideas for the direction of his music videos. You named dropped only three videos but Michael has about 10 music videos deep that are Iconic and groundbreaking. This comparision is silly and I am not even going to go any further with it because Justin is no where in the same conversation as Michael Jackson. Justin knows himself he did not deserve that award and publicly stated it when Jimmy Fallon handed to him. |

Michael has danced on a CAR--- check out the Black or White music video black pather version Michael has danced on a piano- check out the 1984 Victory Tour Michael has danced on a flying machine- Check out Dangerous and History Tours Michael has danced on the street Michael has danced in the rain Michael has danced into the crowd Michael has danced on steps- check out Jackson variety shows Michael has danced on the table/stairs- check out You Rock My World video, Smooth Criminal Michael has danced on various levels of a stage- check out 1983 pepsi commercial (hair got caught on fire) Michael did complicated footwork and 50 million spins on these props and in the crowd. Justin can NOT dance at all.... |

He created the short film? And while you discredit JT he actually won just as many times for the choreography in his videos as MJ did, twice. Thriller was actually co-choreographed with Michael Peters. And the second was not even choreographed by him. Which 10 videos were so groundbreaking by MJ that you couldn't even list them? The comparison is silly to you, because you've got MJ glasses on, but hey i'm not here to bash MJ, Hes up there with Elvis in icon status and he earned it. That just shows that JT is humble enough to accept the award. |

If that is your opinion so be it. I dont think you have listened to enough Michael Jackson because Justin has a very limited range in comparision to MJ who had a variety of singing styles and a much broader range. I am not calling MJ the best singer in the world but he had a stronger range than JT and was a much better singer. He also displayed emotion in his singing and not as robotic as JT is. Before Michael Jacksons videos for Thriller, music videos did not have rehearsed choreography or story plots. Yes, He DID innovate and enhance the music video medium which is why that award is named after him. Awards dont mean anything if their is no merit to speak for the award. Justin could win 60 million choreography awards but if the choreography is not creative or iconic then it means nothing so that was a weak arguement. MJ won those awards but he actually EARNED those awards and he has the iconic choreography to speak for it. When you think of Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Thriller etc you INSTANTLY you know the choreography for those songs. What choreography that JT has that are iconic??? I can not believe I am comparing these two artists that should not even be compared lol The comparision is silly to me because JT is not in the same category as MJ which you are ridiculously trying to argue. I think its insulting to MJs talent and all that he had accomplished. Thriller Beat It Smooth Criminal Moonwalker Billie Jean Man In The Mirror Dirty Diana BAD The Way You Make Me Feel Leave Me Alone Remember The Time JAM Scream He has a couple more but these are the universal ones. |
