@@ArmandoMPRSo true. But when your grandparents, parents uncles, aunts, cousins / cross generation being entertained by the same artists, that’s unique.
To that point, controlling the crowd. Taylor one time during her concert put her finger to her lips to hush the crowd and they immediately was silent. Taylor prefers the crowd to be loud and dancing like no one is watching. Both Bey and Tay have absolute control over the crowd. They are both dominant and queens. Dont get it twisted. I really hate when a conversation comes up with Taylor in it, it always goes they way of a face off.
Listening to this with my earbuds in doing housework singing along to the songs... My three boys are home, they know Taylor's songs, they know Beyonce's songs... But when I was singing MJ?!?? They actually started to sing along and then started playing his music in the background. MJ's music trancends generations, race, nations, cultures, age, and sex. His musical legacy is unmatched.
shes nowhere near as talented...im not a huge beyonce fan but I recognize her talent...Taylor is very mediocre, but thats what makes her relatable. her songs are simple asf, but catchy and family friendly....but raw talent? I can name like twenty better people...including Beyoncé...don't forget this world is racist asf...and shes skinny, blonde, blue eyed and white...its insane Beyoncé can gross half as much ( she has way less shows too beyonce-52 Taylor-136) when shes the minority demographic with NO PROMO...Taylor has spent a tremendous amount on promo...there have been articles about it...Beyoncé can sell out stadiums with 70,000 plus people with a single instagram post, as a black women, in America, with other artists also touring...Beyoncé currently has the highest grossing tour of any other black artist including MJ. Beyoncé is five times better vocal wise and ten times the better dancer....no comparisons should be made....hear Beyoncé live...to sing that well and dance well to? stay out of drama and scandals still be relevant for almost thirty years? never make mistakes on stage? nah
Comparing MJ to Taylor is an insult to MJs fame name .. Michael was popular at the time when social media was almost non existent and there was no streaming sites and yet he was popular all over the world
@@AngeBiampandou she was only known in the USA.. and she still is.. where Taylor runs circles around her. Taylors tour sold out in 1 day in USA, Beyonces tickets are still available (go look Las Vegas)… she canceled one date because of low sales.. pathetic.. and this is your MJ? Lame lame lame
I always heard Taylor Swift's songs over the years on the radio but since this podcast I've started listening to her on Spotify and she is absolutely incredible. Her songs are so good and from the videos I'm seeing online her concerts look amazing! I'd love to see her someday, new fan here!!!
Taylor Swift is the biggest musician of this generation; no questions asked. No one can get even get close to her. An incredible musical talent. But MJ's fame was on an entirely different level. It's still hard to even comprehend just how popular MJ was back in his prime.
I am a taylor hater. BUT as someone from Toronto. No one has ever sold out the rogers stadium.....6 days in a row and people are still trying to kill each other for tickets.
Beyoncé only had 3 shows in Canada. 2 in Toronto, one in Vancouver. Taylor’s doing 6 shows in Toronto and that’s it for her Canadian performances. If you think Beyonce wouldn’t sell out if there was another 3 shows in Canada like Taylor you’re wildin. Respectfully from another Torontonian
Beyoncé could too. Taylor swift is grossing more on tour because she’s doing more the twice as many shows as Beyoncé. Taylor is doing 170 shows. Beyoncé is doing 52.
I remember being a kid in the late 90's-early 20's Michael had already done the Thriller, Bad, and Off the Wall joints. I remember seeing video from ACROSS THE WORLD in all different countries and languages and people would LOSE their MINDS when people found out he was just in the city. MJ is 1/1 no one comes close imo.
Yeah but by the 90s Mj had already been out since the 70s, Taylor is relatively new, I predict she’s only just starting to really push her capabilities as an artist. I don’t like it either and I’m no Taylor fan but not considering her in the conversation is pretty ignorant
Taylor Swift got top 10 billboard. Nah you not listening. She got #1. #2. #3. #4. #5. #6. #7. #8. #9. #10. On the same list. On the same album drop. I dont even listen to Taylor Swift. But Recognize greatness. 🤷🏿♂️
Loved the additional sound features in this episode, when they started to sing and the background music kicked in I literally did a spit take. Please do more of this.
It is actually impossible for anyone to ever be as big as Michael Jackson. Now that the internet is in full force, there is too much fragmentation within audiences
I'm with Schulz on this one. I went into the concert with my girl expecting to hate it but I was blown away. The live concert she really went all out and it actually fire
Yeah can like it sure but to say she is bigger than Micheal is fucking ridiculous. That’s an insane statement to make. Andrew has not seen Micheal Jackson’s concerts Bc ppl are going crazy with him just moving his head and ppl are fainting also Micheal’s concerts were just huge in America but they were huge world wide.
Nobody is bigger than Michael Jackson he was singing at a young age and sold mor tickets than anyone in the world there is no comparison to Michael Jackson or Evils Presley The world love Michael Jackson They will never be a greatest artist like Michael Jackson Everybody wanted to be Michael Jackson Beyoncé 500 million is like 1 billion and y’all know what IAM saying❤❤❤❤❤❤ Today Beyoncé is the greatest artist in the world not talking money but talent and entertainer❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a parent I needed to hear this conversation about being authentically ourselves. My son is 14 and he is authentically himself and we have always encouraged that. So naturally he struggles in the "popular" area. But as he enters into high school and I hear these kinds of conversations from artists like yourself, I know I'm doing it right by him. He chases his creativity. His current love is clint eastwood and film. ❤
@daveezy yeah thanks for your concern. I think he will be fine. He has a handful of true friends and a big family, and everyone loves him. He's my old soul who refuses to be something he's not.
In my opinion the kids that DONT stand out from the group are the weird ones. Anybody can pretend to be someone theyre not in order to fit in. My sons like yours in a way, just keep doing what you’re doing. God bless
Schulz playing around I know it but just wanted to say like 30 years from now, nobody is gonna be doing those vegas gimmick shows with people impersonating Taylor like they do Michael Jackson . Michael was a full package he had the outfit, style, dance, unique vocal, the songs, the family were like royalty, I dont think we'll see that again.
There are people that go to her shows in different looks that she has had which is important cause earlier in her career she was country easy out fits then the more revealing outfits it it's technically all inclusive because which ever era they relate to it. So wouldn't her fans act it out for money later on. They could even create a stage show with outfit changes to replicate it
@@hild-demongoddess7498 I think with Beyonce it def could happen because she has some memorable choreography down the years, combined with the outfits, def has the leopard look basically trademarked. (Single ladies, Crazy in love etc.)
@@xPurpleKillx I think Taylor's certainly had enough of an impact, that some artists will eventually cover/sample her songs, immitate her style of songwriting, and production choices. That is more likely than her image being copied years and years from now. I did say Vegas, so maybe it is possible cause her impact in America is huge. But, with Michael it is globally huge. Those "vegas style shows" can be found in theatres in South Africa, on the streets of Paris, in Japan, it's every continent.. his image is enormous.
@@naldosrecords I could see it for Beyoncé for sure...not Taylor swift.....memorable choreography, highest grossing black artist(she beat MJ and the weekend) memorable outfits, legendary performances...

My west Africa family members, at the time no internet, knew who Michael jackson is, not a single one knows taylor swift. She is also FAR more divisive than Michael was. Taylor may be big amongst white ppl but beyonce is known even amongst ppl that consume zero US media.
I see reactions of villagers from other countries who've heard of Michael Jackson. MJ is multi-generational and he had a global following prior to the internet. So it's really not the same challenge to be famous now.
When it comes to Michael, people mistakenly think that he just sang and danced and that's it. Michael Jackson wrote his own material and also produced it. He receives full songwriting credit for many of his songs. Then you have another part of his discrography that he credits as a co-writer and co-producer for him in collaboration with Quincy Jones, Teddy Riley and other producers like David Foster. One last part of his record material, he is credited as an interpreter, since he received songs from other composers and interpreted them without problems. Therefore, MJ could write and produce, co-produce and perform songs written by others.
@@Lulu-pi2qp Ok, what do you want me to tell you? Congratulations, champ. If you don't like the ones he wrote, that's fine. Rock With You and Human Nature are songs I like, and they weren't written by him.

Factss his co host miss independant Figueroa talking about what her ancestors built while she has a hispanic last name😂these schills for the democratic party are nothing but clueless hypocrits tht just go off talking points they've heard in the past🤦♂️
As a Nigerian I only know one taylor swift song lol and 90% of my friends don't even know her, but as for M.J even little kids born after his death know him
Andrew ain’t wrong. Like 90% of rap shows are just the rapper half-ass yelling over the exact same mp3 file of the song you have on your phone. It’s worse than lip-syncing for me. At least singers who lip-sync are usually dancing or doing something interesting.
I use to think that but it's not really true. It's the new rappers that just started getting super hot that be doing that shit. I went to lil baby and lil durk they do that shit. But rappers like j.cole, lil Wayne and asap rocky had great performance. They knew when to rap when to talk and when to let the crowd rap
Yeah, these lazy "artists" today made me develop a newfound appreciation for people like Britney Spears. It use to irritate me that Britney was able to lip sync her way to the top, but these no talent having lip syncers today that y'all call "artists" have opened my eyes and made me appreciate what Britney has contributed to entertainment. She at least tried to look like she was really singing by NOT taking the mic away from her mouth every 2 secs, or she would simply wear a headset. And her choreography & stage presence was always A-1 (prior to her downward spiral). What Britney lacked in vocals she made up for in choreography. She gave you your money's worth. Can't say the same for these modern day lip syncers ☕️.
This is how big Michael Jackson was ok. 😑He was so famous people would let this mf borrow their own children😐.... That sounds like a joke, but real sh*t. We will never see his level of stardom again.
People outside the Western world don’t even listen to Taylor Swift or know who she is. Whereas even people that don’t speak English in the non-Western world know Micheal Jackson and listen to his songs. No one is even remotely close to Michael Jackson in terms of global impact.
@@Jordan-Xhe actually believes affirmative action helps all minorities, when literally only helps Latino and Black Americans and that's it, hell affirmative action hurt asians instead of helping them by requiring asians to score much higher on tests than other races
Taylor isn't even really bigger right now...she literally has more shows Beyoncé ALWAYS does 50-60 shows MAX. And popularity and sales don't compare to live performances, on stage charisma, dancing abilities, vocal abilities, and impact.
@@michael43567 exactly. They are bugging. Just like saying Jennifer Lawrence is bigger them Marilyn Monroe. She’s a great actress and very popular. But everyone knows Marilyn Monroe. Even if you’ve never seen her in one movie.
Taylor Swift is a huge artist with a massive fan base. And, I don't know one Black person that actively listens to her. So I think that's where CTG is coming from with his take. And it's not a race thing because Black people love Celine Dion, Adele, Elton John, Sting, etc. We're just not into Taylor Swift as a bloc (and yes there probably are some Black people who love her but I don't know them)
Not gon lie, comparing Taylor Swift to Beyoncé or MJ is NUTS. She sings over the vocals whereas Beyoncé is singing LIVE. And hitting every note. And doing elaborate choreography. Taylor needs to be compared to like Pink or Adele maybe. Maybe even Rihanna. But MJ? Beyoncé? Andrew is drunk lmao
MJ and Taylor’s music is so widespread that even if you never listen to them alone, you still know the chorus to like 15-20 songs. Most people know like 3 Beyoncé songs if we being real
Part of it, too. .. for some reason, Taylor is allowed to break noise ordinance. I've lived at my house for a decade, and her show is the only thing I've heard from my front yard!! I was able to sing along with her! The Superbowl wasn't even that loud. When Korn was a little loud, it was all over the news, and they had to build a wall. With Taylor, not a single complant.. 🤷♀️ but it was fire! 😅
I don't even listen to either Beyonce or Taylor but making this comparison is dumb. Also, comparing Taylor to MJ isn't even remotely comparable. My grandmother doesn't speak english to "understand" his music and cried when he died. She wouldn't bat an eye if I told her Taylor died.
That's because your grandmother is old and grew up on MJ, in the future there will be millions of grandmas crying when Taylor dies lol Michael jackson total top 10 hits: 28 Taylor Swift total top 10 hits: 42 Beyonce total top 10 hits : 21
@@robreeto I definitely agree that the generation that grew up with TS will feel the same when that time comes. However, the point I'm making is culturally this younger generation seems more likely to know MJ as opposed to older gen knowing TS. I'm also making a point for people outside of the US since my grandma is from another country. Of course, this is all anecdotal. I just feel like until TS has been around long enough to see her impact beyond the "generation that grew up with" her, then it doesn't make sense to compare.

@@hild-demongoddess7498 damn the same paragraph I’ve seen you write in multiple comments do you have anything else to say anything new? Taylor has written songs about many life situations even some that she has not gone through her self but when you listen to it, it feels like she’s gone through it. A lot of Taylor songs, and even some lines and Taylor songs that she’s written to me personally have felt like they were exactly about my life or things that I went through. Half of the songs on Taylor‘s album folklore and evermore are not even about Taylor there about other people in her life or they’re made up scenarios as a lifelong Beyoncé fan Ann Taylor fan I feel like the only comparison you can make is that they both have a song talking about how much More successful and better their life would be if they were boys (“If I Were A Boy” - Beyoncé and “The Man” -Taylor. Taylor cannot write songs like My Power or other songs that Beyoncé has that are about uplifting, black voices and sharing the culture of Black people with everyone as Beyoncé can but Beyoncé cannot write and sing Evermore, Champagne Problems, Clean, No Body No Crime ft Haim, Cowboy Like Me, The Lakes, Epiphany, Exile ft Bon Iver, Carolina (from Where The Craw Dads Sing), Ronan, Forever Winter, All Too Well 10 minute version, Bigger Than The Whole Sky, Vigilante Shit, etc.
This rico charge is bs. 1 its a state level rico not fed. Feds have the 90% conviction rate. 2 shes just mad cause he shined a national light on the rumor thats been around atlanta for yrs that she had relations with with big nut which would create conflict of intrest in her proscuting the ysl case and that other one
Taylor Swift is bigger than Beyonce but she will never be bigger than Michael. And the fact you are comparing Michael Jackson who has been dead for years to artist who are performing today with modern production says alot, Michael is the GOAT
Why ya’ll always gotta hate on Taylor! Sad…all she does is write her own music and try to connect with people and also gives very generously. But it’s like you just prefer not to like her. Smh!
She is incredibly popular in india and Europe let's not act everyone doesn't know taylor swift the only continent that taylor probably isn't known is africa
MJ is the goat forever and always but the hold taylor has on asia and the middle east is insane and beyonce don’t come close to her in terms of global success. americans have a hard time thinking of a world outside of them and their white european friends but asias the biggest continent and taylor sweeps beyonce there EASY
I'm from south africa and if you ask who Taylor swift is in the rural areas nobody will answer you,beyoncé maybe but Michael jackson man everybody knew Michael jackson from the poorest to the richest of people no fame or impact will ever reach Michael's

Beyonce is not even as Luther king famous. And Michael was known even in my neighborhood when i was 5 in a town in central Africa. That’s how famous he was. I was dancing Billie jean did’nt know who Luther king was. Didn’t care. Most people who don’t follow music don’t even know who beyonce is around the western world. Taylor swift is non existent here. So when i listen to those comparisons I’m laughing. Not even the same galaxy
Insane to say Beyonce has a more diverse fanbase than Taylor Swift, Taylors been the number 1 artist in china for like a decade. She gets more daily streams in the Philippines than Beyoncé gets worldwide. She's doing double the dates in Europe compared to beyonce, out streams and outsells her there. Sold out her 13 stadium dates in South America. the last time beyonce did shows in south america they were arenas and she only sold out on average 60% and she just never came back to the south american market.... if you stuck up the numbers its not even close
Taylor swift is white, this country and world is racist asf. and she makes a completely different genre of music. Shes nowhere near as talented as beyonce and thats a fact...onstage charisma, stage presence, dancing abilities, and vocal capabilities don't equate to sales, streams , and tours... and shes outgrossing beyonce because shes doing more shows...she's literally doing 2.5 as many shows....you don't think Beyoncé could be huge international? your crazy...Beyoncé Just announced international dates for her tour, but she always does 50-60 shows max...never more then that...its insane Beyoncé is grossing half as much as Taylor with-ought promo and just a post on her instagram and being the minority race, and being in the game longer then she has...its just way more impressive....if you really think about it
The thing with this is he used to make fun of Taylor then he went to the eras tour and look at his tone, he is willing to die on the hill of his argument. Everyone else there has not been so they just have to go by there preconceived notions and outside opinions. Andrew lived it.
I think I might be the only one in this comment section who has actually seen both shows. I went to the Beyoncé show as a birthday gift. I ended up at Taylor Swift show because my neighbor is a flight attendant. Her flight was canceled so she asked me to take her daughter. So let me say this Taylor puts on a good show, but she relies a little bit more on a production lights, etc. Beyoncé put on a great show but she relies more on her performance because she’s actually a good dancer. I guess it depends on what you like. Neither one of them to touch Michael Jackson. Andrew is just being a troll. Michael Jackson had grown ass straight men fainting at his concert.
@@amirulasyraf1409 she may be more popular, with her being white, skinny, and blonde with blue eyes has a-lot to do with that...they worship whiteness and fetishize that...but as far as raw talent Beyoncé is WAYYYYY better...and being black, she's almost just as globally famous as well its just more impressive. and Taylor has more then twice as many shows on her tour...Beyoncé ALWAYS does 50-60 shows max...Taylor has 132..
@@hild-demongoddess7498 I don't think bean white, blonde with blue eyes has anything to do with being successful. We have alot of white female artist debut in 2000s, most of them more popular than Taylor in 2000s but, non of them relevant as Taylor now.
MJ wrote 70% of his music; don't stop till you get enough, beat it, wanna be startin somethin, the girl is mine, billie jean, 8/11 tracks on Bad he wrote by himself. STOP IT
Michael Jackson took sole writing credits for songs he never wrote. It happens all the time in the music Industry. You don’t go from having ghost writers to becoming a genius song writer over night. The intellect is not there!
Reaching with that title. MJ is untouchable. MJs music as a child alone is historical. EDIT: For historical reference: Michael Jackson has the top selling album of all time. He also has the 12th, and 20th top selling album of all time. Of the top 76 selling albums of all time - Taylor Swift does not show even once. Whereas Michael Jackson shows up 5 times. Taylor Swift's contemporary - Adele shows up twice and as recently as 2015. Michael Jackson is the king of pop. Taylor ain't even the queen- Madonna is. For reference, Madonna showed up multiple times (3) on that same list of top selling albums of all time. Man and with the terrible competition Taylor has right now, Michael's music would absolutely kill in todays Billboard top 100. Michael dominated in easily one of the top music generations of all time. If he had today's wet lettuce competition- he'd would have dominate that billboard.

Taylor writes, plays multiple instruments she plays 6 string & 12 string guitar, piano, banjo, ukulele, Taylor is very involved in the production of her songs too.
