and Urden971 is right, how can you compare? michael jackson has the unfair advantage of dieing in a time of global media saturation, would Bob have received such coverage of his death across the globe if it were now?
Lyrically Bob the greatest! Michael was an entertainer to the fullest but Bob had depth in the lyric as well as being a great entertainer. For me I choose lyric over most else.
HOW UNU CAN SEH LYRICALLY....AAH BWOY....UNU STILL FEEL SEH MUSIC IS ALL LYRICAL...BOB IS MORE OF A ARTIST THAT GOES FOR HOOKS..JUST LIKE VADO....BOB DOES "SING ALONG SONGS"....AND SO DOES MICHAEL.....
MICHAEL WASNT A CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE UNTIL THE CHLD MOLESTATION CASE, HE WAS ALL MUSIC, HE ACHIVED SUCESS LOOOOOONG BEFORE THAT.....ITS NOT LIKE HE AND BOB WERE RELEASE THE SAME TIME, AND U CANT COMPARE TWO DIFFERENT GENRES........
THATS LIKE COMPARING LIONEL RICHIE TO 2PAC.......THERES NO COMPARISON THERE.....
BOB NEVER ACHIEVED MUCH FAME UNTIL HE DIED......HE WAS STILL TRYING TO PUSH THE MUSIC OUT THERE
U cant compare them. They r both great. the thing is most of bob music are mixed and put together by the real musicians. those r the ppl u dont hear about. im not saying mical music is not mixed in the studio as well but MJ is by far more reconized globally, have more sales, and what else can i say. ask Buju Banton cause a eal talk him mek
LISTEN MICHEAL JACKSON IS OBVIOUSLY BIGGER FIRST N FOREMOST MICHEAL JACKSON HAS BROKEN COUNTLESS BARRIERS FOR ALL RACES AND CHANGE THE STYLE OF WHAT WE CALL MUSIC VIDEOS(SHORT FILMS/MOVIES) MICHEAL HAS ATTAINED SO MANY HUMANITARIAN AWARDS FOR GIVING BACK 2 CHARITIES ETC MICHEAL HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR OUR JAMAICAN ARTIST LIKE MOVADO N SERANI ETC BEING ON MTV.
BOB MARLEY HAS REALLY PUT JAMAICA ON THE MAP HE IS OUR HERO BUT ITS 2 DIFFERENT GENERATIONS WHERE MEDIA HAS PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IS SPREADING THE MUSIC WIRLWIDE
MICHEAL JACKSON WAS WELL ROUNDED HE WAS A GREAT PERFORMER WHICH INCLUDED SINGIN N DANCING HE WAS MULTITALENTED
MICHEAL IS THE BIGGEST THING BIGGER THAN ELVIS N THE BEATTLES ALSO MICHEAL WAS WELL RECOGNISED AS A LEGEND B4 HE DIED
Micheal has set so many standards an i am yet to see sum1 walk in his shoe
quiva i would want to be bios because Bob is a jamaican but i can't , MJ is really set apart as the world favorite but Bob did his fare share , they both will be recognize has the best at what they do
first of all u cant compare the two it two different style second - it who's greater not who sell more records
so i say this mj is more known than bob becuz world jus statred to know bout reggae a few yrs ago so that y mj got the edge over bob , we in the caribbean always know bob becuz reagge & danchall is ur ting , if reggae was as big as pop from the start there would of been no question that Bob would far more greater and yes bob got bigger after his death becuz ppl [amereican / eurpuean/non-caribbean ppl } started to wonder y a caribbean man was gettin so much intension and he was dead ,the caribbean ppl lost a great man so they show they love 4 him by playin his music & the world tune in .........so bob death made reggae big
mj now is different he had big star backin him from the start , t.v radio also played a big part in mj greatness if u hav good music ppl will listen and think about radio & t.v playin all over the world playin mj music , shit what u think would happen . the world vs the caribbean who would win we all heard mj music & watch his video mj lock world chart
and bob only lock caribbean. bob work harder than mj to get where he is & his death played a big roll in it
so i will go with bob becuz how hard his music had to work to where it is now.
and say this if bod deid around the time his music was gettin big & the was gettin to now reggae so that a next reason bob i pick bob
so think about it bob talk about reality in life he open up ppl minds , u listen to a bob track & u go wow becuz the song about the facts & reality that a greatness not sells everday u can hear a bob track or someone quote a line from his songs or remixin one
that how u tell that someone is great ......... how many mj songs/pics/ dolls see or hear in vids or movies __ i wait ? what one or two . what yrs did u se them . i wait again
evertime u ur t.v or radio on u heard a bob track shit this is the first time in a long time mj got so much t.v time
so ppl think before u vote/ write bs
Bob to the world . r.i.p to the both -----------they both was great / two different style two kings
