Why on Earth did you leave out choreography?

Honestly though, I have to go with Michael Jackson by a smidge when everything is added together. Fantastic songwriter, and apparently had a savant-like understanding of rhythm and beat.

Mercury is the better singer; I will give him that.

I could never even judge music when it comes to Michael Jackson.

He is a known pedophile and rapist.

Makes me sick

Well whoever is better I'm sure we can all agree that There Must Be More To Life Than This was totally shite.

Singing ability - MJ
Range - Mercury, easily
Flair - MJ. MJ had an absurd wardrobe. Known for his ostentatious flair.
Showmanship - MJ. Close, though.
Choreography - MJ, by far. He had far more money and effort put into his choreography
Appeal - MJ. Since this category is basically a popularity number, MJ wins this objectively.
Legacy - Difficult. Currently, MJ. Time may tell a different tale.


Overall: MJ, comfortably.

Id go with Freddy... sorry MJ

I forgot choreography which MJ handily wins.

MJ was definitely better at entertainment children.

MJ was good but the fooling around with macauly culkin and buying the rights to the beatles makes me a bit uncomfortable.

freddy wrote songs whilst dying in hospital with aids. he is legendary.

Buying the rights to the Beatles is called business. There are many rumors that MJ was a shark when it came to that aspect of his life.

What does he have to do with the beatles? Nothing!

Voted for MJ. He's just...sorry, his legacy is greater, his music is better IMO.

If he was a dirty pedo who banged kids, would your answer change? Yeah , I refuse to give anyone credit who does that. But regardless of that I still think Freddy is better.

I still don't know if MJ ever did what he was accused of, did they ever find a smoking gun? Like kiddie porn?

He slept 30 nights in a row in the same bed with a 13yr old kid ffs.

But we legit have kids saying he did that and did nothing.

And tons of people described him as childlike as an adult.

So was he a pedo or just really processing some trauma from childhood? Or both, maybe?

If he did stuff to kids it doesn't matter why.

But if he didn't...if he just behaved the way he did because of his childhood, that needs more nuance.
