Better than MJ? Ok, so where is Chris’ Thriller? His Off The Wall? His Bad? the delusions. It’s okay to say Chris is talented without slandering MJ.
Bullsh-t. Chris can dance his a-s off, but you can tell Tank doesn’t know sh-t about Michael. Michael could write, produce, arrange melodies, come up with choreography and music video treatments. And he is a better performer than Chris, who struggles because he won’t stop smoking. The Jackson 5 laid the blueprint for damn near every boy band that came after them. And Michael has inspired multiple generations of entertainers. Chris is a hot a-s mess because of delusional a-s people like Tank. I’ll never forget that his mama actually tweeted that Michel died so Chris could live. Nothing but f-ck sh-t.
Did Tank really say Chris can’t deliver live vocals because he works too much? No, he isn’t a great live performer because he’s addicted to cigarettes and hardcore drugs. Bruno Mars is a better performer than Chris.
It’s so annoying when legends are taken down a notch to uplift younger talent. If Chris is so great, there’s no need to bring up MJ to praise him.
There will never be another Michael. So it would be best for Chris to create his own legacy. Michael was so much more than just a good dancer or performer. He left a huge impact on music that can’t be duplicated. And since we’re discussing business acumen, Chris has an urban clothing line (everybody and they momma has an urban clothing line they promote on Instagram). But when Michael was alive, he did things like invest in the Beatles catalogue. He knew that would create actual wealth. So yeah…Tank sounds very uninformed.
I think Chris is talented but I just don’t think he’s a great performer. Being able to dance doesn’t mean one is automatically an excellent performer. And he’s definitely not the only artist out here who can switch up genres and sounds. I honestly think Chris doesn’t experiment with his sound enough. All his music has sounded the same for a while now. That’s why I wasn’t moved when they said his next album would have a lot of songs. Anyone can churn out songs. Making an actual monumental album like Thriller, Purple Rain, etc. is very hard to do.
I think it’s a sign of insecurity when stans and celebs try to compare themselves/their faves to someone else. If Chris was the GOAT, they wouldn’t be so obsessed with trying to debate how he’s better than Michael. LeBron stans do the same damn thing. It’s annoying as hell.
I like Chris Brown but, he will NEVER be better than MJ. MJ is a legend in the music industry and just like Prince created a niche for all those after them. Chris sounds narcissistic and arrogant in his post. So disrespectful. ?
Nope. Tank needs to chill.
The lies.
Chris is very, very talented. But he’s not a better singer than Michael and his music isn’t better than Michael’s. In fact, Chris’ best song in my opinion is Fine China, and it was actually heavily inspired by Michael. Then there is the fact that Chris doesn’t have an album that compares to Thriller. And Chris is lacking in iconic performances as well, while Michael has multiple. Now outside of music and performing, Michael is also more diversified. Like Chris, he could paint, draw, etc. His art is worth over $900,000,000. And I second that his business moves were also more successful than Chris too…come on, he actually bought the publishing right to the Beatles…that’s about $750,000,000 right there. He also bought Eminem’s publishing too, as well as Elvis. He was a genius when it comes to investing and business. And Mike was the king at singing multiple genres. Can Chris make a rock song and make it a pop hit? Chris seems to only be able to dominate urban songs. It’s nothing wrong with that, but Tank said he can switch up his sound between hood and pop…however, Michael’s cross over appeal is unmatched. Now his estate ain’t making the best decisions since his passing, but Tank needs to educate himself about Michael. He really was in a league of his own. That is why he’s such an inspiration. I mean he’s Chris’ idol.
