Michael Jackson or Bruce Lee?
I don't know if you've noticed, but both Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson happen to be dead. Done. Blotto.
And, left in their wake is the burning question, which one of these superstars had more impact on the world. They can be compared, and it doesn't matter that they were in different areas. So, let's take a look.
Bruce Lee wins over MJ when it comes to acting. Heck, Michael hardly made anything, so he gets a bigtime zero. On the other hand, Bruce made a handful of movies that inspire people to this day.
We have an interesting dilemma when it comes to who was the better singer, but Bruce Lee will win again. The dilemma is that Bruce is having more impact than Michael Jackson, even though he didn't make any songs. Are you going to call that mugger a PYT, or give him a woop woop that will chill him to the bone and remind him that there are people in this world who can kick some serious ass!
Bruce Lee has the edge when it comes down to the all important question of moves. Michael couldn't do the splits or kick somebody's adam's apple or anything worthwhile, all he could do was walk backwards funny. But, if asked to, I'll bet Bruce could have moonwalked like a sucker.
.Bruce wins on downright sheer impact. Michael encouraged a generation of young, impressionable minds to walk backwards funny, uh, walk funny backwards, uh, you know. Bruce, on the other hand, encouraged several generations, and is still going strong, as to the value of healthy living, being able to protect yourself, living an artistic lifestyle, and on and on and on.
I think it is obvious that Bruce wins hands down when it come to who had more presence. Michael never said a line like...you have offended my family, you have offended Shaolin. Really, except for a lyric or two, can anybody remember much of anything that Michael said?
So Bruce Lee would have kicked Michael Jackson's skinny, little ass, dead or alive. Oh, you think I rigged the results worse than an OJ trial? Well, you better walk backwards funny away from me and whisper in your hat, my friend, because I study Bruce Lee.
