Justin Bieber Touted as the next Michael Jackson

As I've been doing research on Michael Jackson's discography, I've come across many articles comparing today's current pop heartthrob, Justin Bieber, to Michael Jackson.  Well, there are many loyal fans who say no way, the Bieber is like Michael, but there are also believers out there, who think Justin's got what it takes to be like Michael - at least in the hitmaking department.

My two cents worth?  Just listen to Michael Jackson's One Day In Your Life in my previous post.  Doesn't Justin sound like that?  Michael was about Justin's age too when he sang that song.  At that time, we had no inkling yet that Michael was going to be the King of Pop.  After that song, he did the Off the Wall album, which was a respectable hit in itself, yet after that came the lthe legendary Thriller album - and that was when Michael caught the whole world's imagination!

For now, Justin has been releasing different versions of his My World album. Except for Baby, there hasn't yet been a really big worldwide hit from it.  However, who knows what he can achieve in the future?  He has a beautiful voice and the charismatic presence.  And yeah, he has many fans worldwide who just adore him.  Now if we can only find a Quincy Jones - like mentor for him - who can help him mold his unique sound.  Now wouldn't that be grand!
