Michael Jackson is the most famous person of all-time second to Jesus Christ. How is this even up for discussion?

Comparing Michael Jackson and .K. Rowling doesn't make sense to begin with.

I think its hard to actually gauge a concrete answer. It's 2 different types of "media" Music and books. Then you have to deal with different generations that will have different opinions.

.. JK who?
This. I didn't know who JK Rowling is until I read this thread. I'm sure I could probably walk down the block and ask people if they heard of JK Rowling and they probably wouldn't know what she looks like. It is a woman right? Or is it a he?
Somebody post a pic of this JK so we know who he/she looks like.

I'm guessing most of these youngins will say JK because they grew up at the height of her fame while MJ had already peaked. I guarantee if you're old enough to have been around for MJ's rise and peak in the 80's and 90's, this wouldn't even be a question.

I had to google JK. Enough said for me.
I don't listen to Michael Jackson's music or read any of J.K Rowling's Harry Potter books, so neither of them has an "impact" or "influence" on me.
Not directed at anyone here, but I feel a lot of people just say "MJ is the G.O.A.T" or "MJ is so amazing" without really knowing who the man is or what his accomplishments are; they just say it because everyone else is. Keep in mind, some of these same people were the ones who made fun of Jackson, disrespected him, or even wished death upon him prior to his death in '09.
To answer OP's question...It's all based on who you ask. Most teens and young adults would probably say Rowling, while the older folks would say Jackson.

He's conversing from his hindquarters. How do you know that THEY don't know what his accomplishments are?

Stop it son. JK is not touching MJ. Movies are cool and all but she doesn't transition through generations like Mike does. I'm 19 years old and I remember singing Michael Jackson songs as a kid with my mother, son. That's wild. Books only appeal to some people. Hood (%&*&% mess with Michael. How many hood dudes you ever heard of reading Harry Potter? That's a whole demographic she can't even reach...
