With all of the different forms of entertainment and shyt that there is today...I doubt it.

Plus it's just a whole different era. Producers push shyt like Cardi B and other degenerates (and it sells) far more than real quality musicianship.

Given the fact the population is steadily increasing, it's inevitable that someone will be 'bigger'

Also neither of those two are in the top 50 musicians of all time outside of arbitrary popularity

Yeah neither of them are anywhere close. Plus they sound like knockoffs of Michael.

It's probably Taylor Swift actually. Not that she's close either, but a lot closer than either of those two.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

I think he's talking about musicianship vs you talking about being "Big". Sure, if you're talking pure musical talent - then no they aren't in the top 50 at all. If you're talking about being a star - then they are without a doubt.

In terms of popularity they're top 5, no question

In terms of actual musical quality, they're not even top 100 for me, though great singers obv especially MJ

Yeah as Polaris knows, I'd put Layne Staley above both of them in terms of musical quality

Talent wise no because they simply have no talent today, they are a product of a system and forced on us by that same system. We are told to like them. We naturally liked elvis and jackson because they were so talented.

Scale wise, Lizzo pretty much already weighs more than both of them combined but i dont think thats what you were looking for. Probably weighs more than the entire jackson 5 put together.

There aren't many talented artists today. Most are mumble rappers.

Test of time and after being dead.

No there won't be another Elvis or Jackson but there will be others who are legends. You never know. It's like Marilyn Monroe. Was she the
greatest actress? Not even close. Was she the hottest 10/10 of her day? No. Yet still, 60+ years after her death, you hear her name often, see pics of her, and she's still a symbol. What is going to happen is in the future people will look back and realize who today (will be the past then) set the trands that led to where they will be.

The world is still reeling over the death of Olivia Newton John.

While she may not have been as big as both MJ & Elvis combined, she will certainly be remembered on an individual basis as bigger than either of them.

More people attended ONJ's funeral than went to the Queen's.
