Michael Jackson was not just a historic entertainer, he was THE greatest entertainer (be it singer, actor,sportsman etc) in
modern/ recorded history.
When we discuss his impact and talent as an entertainer, we cannot taint it by talking about his personal life or eccentricities
And even in his personal life he did more for charities and children than any other artist
He contributed over 400 M dollars and several of his number 1 songs all have a message of making the world a better place
and caring for children.
1. Michael was far greater than previous legends like Elvis and Lennon because he was an INTERNATIONAL STAR not just an American icon.
He was famous and popular in MOST Of the countries of the world and especially the third world countries.
(Note: that third world has the majority of the worlds population)
2. He was a Child star as well as an adult - so his talent was evident from a very early age- he did not just get lucky. He was the youngest singer to get a number 1 single in the US with "I want you back"
3. Michael combined a lot of talents in one personality.
Micheal was not just a great singer, but also a great Dancer, great song writeer and live performer and creater of best selling and most expensive Music Videos
4 His music paved the way for R and B , Hip Hop and soul music for the future
5 And he trancended color. Being black he still managed to get great acclaim in the US at a time when it was difficult for blacks to even appear on MTV
6. Michael had to face and overcome several controversiesyet he still managed to stay so popular
His love for children causes made him subject to accusations, he fought a horrible skin disease and was subject
to ridicule for eventual whitening of his skin and extensive wearing of make up.
7. His record(s) of having the best selling album (thriller) of all time stands intact.
Some argue that Beatles and Presley had higher world wide sales figures
SALES FIGURES
A] Sales figures for Elvis and Beatles sales are not accurate .. .
1. Album sales is different from single sales -- in the case of Presley single sales are often added to the album sales. But the right indication is album sales, that signifies how much of the total material produced was sold
2. Elvis and Beatles have a HEAD START over Jackson. Their music was created 20 plus years before Jackson and is being sold to DATE --- after their death -
3. Elvis and beatles created many more albums than Jackson so naturally they will have big sales
4. The figures often cited are for DEVELOPED COUNTRIES only which is a fraction of the world population
Jackson is far more popular in the third world countries which have the majority of worlds population
Jackson had total of 18 no 1 US singles Solo and group - equivalent to that of Presley and beatles
Jackson got the most music awards in history and received award for artist of millennium
Jackson is named the most successful entertainer ever in Guiness Book of World records
Jackson made the most money at his peak and signed the biggest contract with Sony records in history
And finally he was still popular at his death
His ticket sales of over a million for his upcoming London concert were the fastest ticket sales for an event in history
Even after his death his albums hit No 1 in the UK and on most of the online sites
Web sites crashed under the burden of searches in relation to his name
All of this shows his greatness, far beyond any entertainer could achieve in recorded history.
So Jackson was far greater than Presley or beatles or any other entertainer in history

The greatest entertainer of all time so happens to hold the Guiness World Record for the 'Most Successful Entertainer of All Time' along with countless other world records and a career that spanned a total of forty-five years. Yes, the greatest entertainer, singer, dancer and all round humanitarian of all time is none other than the legendary, undisputable, incomparable King of Pop, Michael Jackson. No one, and I repeat NO one will EVER usurp that position so long as time turns! Michael was, is and always will be the greatest entertainer in existance. Rest in peace, Michael. Sammy Davis Jr. is one of the best entertainers I've ever seen.
Perhaps. But I have to say I am proud of it. He was the greatest entertainer and human to ever walk this planet! We should all consider him our role model!
ANSWER:Yes, he is the Greatest Entertainer in History and can never be replacedUSER ANSWER:Whether or not you consider Michael Jackson the greatest entertainer of all time is a subjective choice. Did he entertain you more than any other person has entertained you? If your answer is yes, then he was, to you. Additionally, you may yet be aware of someone you will consider your ultimate entertainer, so your answer may be subject to change.
Before there was Michael, There was Elvis, But once "Thriller" came out, & after he had done the "Bad Tour" People started considering Michael Jackson as, not the biggest, but THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER IN HISTORY.
