LOL! Crashed the internet? Twitter is not the internet. And you know full well if iTunes existed around the time of Elvis, that his singles would have skyrocketed on iTunes just like MJ did.

Just wait til the next big singer dies, their songs will skyrocket on iTunes. Then we can proclaim them bigger stars than MJ.

Michael Jackson had way more hits than Elvis did and more crossover appeal as I said before. And, when Elvis died his albums weren't selling out MINUTES after his death. Go to any local record store and probably all of his albums are sold out. I know mine are. And no, THIS will never happen again. Dominating nearly half of the Itunes Top 100 will not happen again. Ever. No matter who it is.

Michael was famous for helping little boys forget all of their troubles.


Well all of them except one.

Well, all racists feel this way and I know you are one. Still doesn't take away the fact that he's the most iconic artist of all time and his music is timeless. :) Live with it.

If the internet had existed in its current form when John Lennon was killed, the response to that would have dwarfed all the MJ hoopla

and if I remember rightly the hoopla over Cobain's suicide was just as big as this one over MGJ's death

The Beatles overall were bigger than Michael Jackson as a group I think. But, he trumps them all as a solo artist. MJ still had more crossover appeal though.
