There is literally no topping him. And nobody will ever come close to the fame that he still has to this day. People try comparing Taylor swift to MJ level of fame. Like Taylor goes to football games and gets some videos taken of her MJ went to a basketball game and they had to shut it down. Lol Not hating on Taylor swift just saying.

BTS is the first K-Pop group to present at the Grammys, then the first to perform at the Grammys (taped performance during COVID, then live performance).

That wasn't Michael Jackson's Grammy performance, Michael Jackson was just giving us a message He poured his heart out on this, but we didn't listen! And God spoke to the foolish, stupid mankind! And then GOD will remind us of this night. I have sent you, MICHAEL, who reminded you at every opportunity how important the world is. MICHAEL begged you on his knees to CHANGE, but you did not listen. Exactly we didn't listen, and 36 years later, we sit there and continue to watch as the earth is destroyed day by day. We fight each other, kill each other, and all because a few politicians can't get along, at the expense of all people. Stand up now and CHANGE that, if not for yourself, then for your children and grandchildren. But stand up now and CHANGE yourself. Rest in peace Michael Jackson, the purest soul, whose honor I had the privilege to live in his time. 💯x❤
