So because players like mbappe and halaand are more on tv top games, are being watched more than Ronaldo and Messi presently ... it now means they are bigger than Ronaldo and Messi??
This is not what I am saying. But I am not ready to explain either

Titani ( my heart will go on ) isn't even close to thriller, talkless of Billy Jean .... MJ still holds the record of most sold album till date...Guinness book ...go check it out
WTF bruh, Titanic was too popular, maybe up there with thriller but I doubt Thriller was much more popular than Titanic, coupled with the movie that rose it's popularity

Pls delete what u just posted cos its embarrassing... who be westlife , who be Celine dion ,Compared to MJ ...
U are asking who is Celine Dion?
Omoh, times to end this discussion.
MJ died in his prime and was about to do a concert in Berlin.
Celine Dion is no more coming to stage which has dropped her popularity, but do not say who is Celine Dion. She is an icon

You must be a ghetto boy to include the low budget Celine Dion & Westlife that MITV & Galaxy TV could afford to show you back then.

In my opinion, I'll say CR7 is far much more popular than Michael Jackson.

And if MJ was in this present generation,
CR7 will still be more popular and it won't be even close.
Most people knew about MJ after his death, but I am talking about MJ of early 2000's.
Micheal Jackson…

America with around 350m citizens

I can tell you only 35% knows who Ronaldo is

you should be in your late 20s or at most 30 to 31, you are not far from indomie generation, so stop excluding yourself big bro. Are you aware that unreached tribes in the Amazon Forest knew who MJ was? When you wrote waec, you were most likely 17 yrs, and you think you know MJ?

MJ died 14 or 15years ago when I wrote waec, I already had a phone, surfing on NL when he died.

Bro, when MJ died, I was about writing waec, that is not infomie generation.
He was popular but not much popular than Celine Dion or Westlife, infact he was up there with Celine and I can't tell who was more popular between them, if you were part of that generation u will know that Celine Dion was as popular as MJ, his popularity sky rocketed after his death, imagine if CR7 die today. His funeral will dwarf MJ.
If they are in this generation where u could pick phone and see them easily, he won't be a religion, MJ used the power of invisibility to gather cult-like followership. When u appear too much and people see u always, ur value drops, this is what is happening to CR7.
If MJ was still alive, you won't compare them, more than half his fans knew about him after he died.

MJ does not have a single song except that is far much more popular than "Titanic" or "I have a dream"? even heal the world cant challenge those two songs he is not where u drop him.
This is an ignorant epistle. Maybe if you watch an MJ concert, you’ll understand better.

Sorry my child, before handsets came to Nigeria, every home knew MJ. Without social media, every kid tried dancing like him. We had his cassettes, even when there was no CDs.
Social media helped the likes of Ronaldo, thats why they brag with the followers. Mark you, one person can even have up to 5 social media accounts, and all of them can be following the same celebrity. But they will all count as 5 different followers.

For example, fewer people knew abt football icons like Platini, Haaland's dad, etc, until this current age of internet where they can easily be checked out and followed.

MJ was on virtually every lip and home without internet.

Kapish?

I even think Pele was more popular than CR7 without the help of social media. I am a CR7 fan because of his work ethics but we can all learn from Teju babyface about Ronaldo. Ronaldo 1 and CR7

The point is that all of us will be forgotten, all of us I who is speaking to you will be forgotten, you who are watching will be forgotten

Indomie generation has spoken once again cheesy grin. You think everybody is a football fan and must know CR7🤣🤣. Michael Jackson in an age where social media wasn't in existence was pulling large crowd physically shocked. The three most popular names are Jesus Christ, coca-cola and Michael Jackson cool
Exactly...wether he believes it or not, there are people in this world who don't give a damn about football and don't even know who CR7 is. It's even disrespectful comparing Michael Jackson with CR7 world-wide. I can even name a few more known worldwide figures like Mohammed Ali, Pele, Maradona, Michael Jordan, 2pac, Bob Marley l, etc...
Re: Between Michael Jackson And CR7 Who Is More Popular? by Libkid(m): 9:55am On Sep 21, 2024
It's obvious you are delirious when I saw your epistle comparing MJ with Celine Dion and Westlife. Before his death, MJ had fans all over world and guess what there was no internet. My grand ma God bless her memory, knew MJ. She died at the age of 99. Ever seen anyone comparing Ronaldo, Maradona and Pele with MJ in terms of popularity, cos it's insane.

Honestly this Penaldo content creation is now a joke taken too far.
Imagine comparing Pendu to Coca-Cola or Michael Jackson. Mentioning my Lord here will be a bigger Insult.
What an insult from a content creator.
A man who hasn't won any "FiFa world trophy" Not even a Junior world cup medal to his name. Indomie Generation no go finish us

if you wrote waec 14 yrs ago, maybe you were 17 by standard settings, you cant be more than 31 now, and yah, that's indomie generation.

Even if you wrote your waec at 20, u should be 34 now, and you think you know the glory of MJ in the 80s, lol, kai grin grin

You're really not serious for saying MJ was more popular after death.
Even my Grandma knew Michael Jackson before his death. Though your age tells me you might not have been fully socially aware of the magnitude of what you're talking about.
