Michael Jackson vs Freddie Mercury (Who was the best?)

Who was the better artist? Freddie Mercury or Michael Jackson!?

Have you ever asked yourself the age old question: Was Freddie Mercury better than Michael Jackson? Today I watch clips of both of these iconic singers and compare both their songs and their abilities. I try to find the answer to the question. Have a watch and see if you agree with me. There are some pretty AMAZING songs in this one.

Michael when asked about Queen:
"I love their music, I'm a Freddie Mercury fan"
Freddie when asked about Michael:
"He's younger than me and at the same time has been in the industry longer than me I can't teach him anything I learn from him"
R.I.P both Legends

Comparing Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury is like comparing A legendary basketball player and a legendary soccer player. Both Incredible in their own ways but different.
Micheal is the King of Pop Freddie is the Queen of ROCK

Micheal Jackson is the King while Freddie Mercury is Queen

Both Man In The Mirror and We Are The Champions were epic show-enders. The latter makes people stand up, while the former made people faint. They both can be sides, to the perfect (theoretical) single.

MJ and Freddie recorded a song together, which never got released.. Just imagine both of them performing the song live.. that would be legendary on a whole new level...

[selenayates]

You can’t compare these two. It’s like apples vs oranges. Jackson is king of pop. Queen is queen of rock.

Fun fact: Michael Jackson was the one who pushed for the release of “Another one Bites the Dust”. The band initially thought the song was a bit too “edgy”

12:38 the actual answer is actually hilarious, MJ was annoyed by Freddie's lifestyle, but the reason it fell through was MJ brought a llama to the studio and Freddie could not stand the llama so he left

The reason We Will Rock You is so bland, is because Queen wanted the audience to be able to be part of the performance, and so they created the simple beat (boom boom, clap/whatever you want to call it). It worked really well in my opinion, but everyone has their own thoughts.

[princessnandi]

im sure if Michael was still alive he wouldn't want to be compared to queen, they're two different people. Two different music styles.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury were still alive

Michael Jackson man... no one can beat him at anything weather it's singing, dancing, and the fact he was so kind hearted had on of the biggest impacts on the music industry .
RIP MJ

[tenkiingkirby]

This hurts my soul to compare them. They are both so talented

Edit: Can y'all stop arguing abt Michael and bruno. You guys can each have your own opinions. I think they are both amazingly talanted singers, but their music might not appeal to everyone.

Me:"reads title"


Also me:you did a big mistake Joel a big mistake

[scouthamrick]

Fun fact: Michael and Freddie didn’t finish recording together because Michael kept bringing his pet llama to the studio and Freddie didn’t like it

When I was about 2 years old, my dad had introduced me to MJ. It had been about a year since his death, but i never knew until a few years. And when i mean I was sad, i mean that. I was sad for about a week i didnt even talk to anybody. then my dad gave me his "This Is It" cd and that lit me up. So me personally, im going for the king of pop, Michael Jackson

[azzamathallah]

Joel: who is better Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury

Me: YES

[sssharefff]

Basically
Queens: songs that you can sing along
MJ: songs that you can dance too.
