Who is greater than Michael

there was a thread recently asking if there is any one great as Michael
and I found you all saying that there is no one great as Michael

and that is not right
Michael was great yes
but he was not a God he was a human
he was greater than others
and others greater than him

if we believed that no one kind and good as Michael
so we lost hope in this world after Michael death

no
still out there who is kind and great caring like Michael and more
we must have a hope
the earth will not stop by Michael death

in this thread I'll tell you stories of others greater than Michael
they are not famous as him but they are great as him and more

I'll mention normal people
people just like you and me and Michael
and I ask every one to search around and find some one great as Michael and tell us his / her story

the first
I know kids with age 9 or 10 who pay their money they save to buy candy they payed it to children in Gaza to have a food and clothes
I know a girl sold her only jewelry which she saved for years to give it to Gaza children

I saw kids in school in country with war they stood in their wasted schools which was bombed they stood their with their uniform to learn and to be educated among stones and pullets and the bodies of their dead friends

I saw an old woman aged 80's or more she was so weak and helpless the only income she had was 60 Egyptian pound per month that means 10 American dollar and when the interviewer ask her if she wants any thing she replied him no I don't need any thing I thank ALLAH for what he gave me

Michael did a lot yes
for human race
but what he did is what we supposed to do all
he gave a lot yes but cause he had a lot

if some one have 1000 $ and he gave a poor kid 10$
or some one else all he has is 10$ and gave them all to a poor kid to eat

who is greater

for his Music
yes
he was great singer and song writer
and a great dancer

but he wasn't the greatest to
we have a lot of singer who changed the music history
like in Arabic music Ohm Kalthoum Fared El Atrash Abd El Wahab Abd El Haleim
they all changed the music history forever
and in world music
there is Elvis, Beatles who changed the Music all over the world

and for his voice I knew two singer sounded like Michael
even people knew their songs as it were Michael songs
if you want to hear their songs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62nFP5cbet4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGnXbauWeZo

those songs known as Michael songs
they are Islamic songs
that is why there was a rumors about Michael embraced Islam on 2005 because of those songs

so defiantly there are many like Michael
and there are greater than him too

P. S. I didn't mention stories from the history and there many and many of them
but I wanted stories from our time

so don't lose hope
there still good and kindness out there

thanks tirtza and gboete for that indept sharing and howard bloom said it all.

michael thus by far is the most amazing of all artists before his time, during his time, and after his time. no one even comes closer, his talents and genuine love for human kind mostly the children of the world makes him more loved and indeed cemented his name and legacy.

that no matter how this poison tries and tried to ruin michael, his exemplar actions beyond and behind scrutinizing eyes are more than enough.

and with all these ??? who is greater than michael ???

the ONE who created him.

I believe Michael was and still is the greatest entertainer that ever lived. I believe this because of his influence on the ordinary people. Because he inspired so many ordinary people to do so many good things. I cannot speak for the whole world, but I can speak for me - hos music heals my heart, brightens my day. No other artist ever made me feel what i feel when I listen to Michael's music. I know he was not perfect. He had his mistakes. But I love him and love covers all, believes all, love is greater that all things! Michael is the greatest!

And I want to add that God is only greater for those who believe. Not all humans believe in God.
Besides, does anybody know who or what or where God is ??? He is what we believe he is.
Once there was a song going like that : what "if God was a stranger on the bus" ?? Could he not be anybody ?

If we cannot Idolize somebody like Michael, then who is there to idolize ???
I thought many fans see Michael as their "Idol". Is there something wrong with that ?
I see Michael as a human, but I don't know to what God's role extendsin Michael's life.

To me Michael is BY FAR the greatest, and you know why ?
He had let us say maybe 90% of all the qualities a man should have. He lived the best he could. He had all the wisdom, knowlegdge, talent, working spirit, optimism, determination, perseverence, humbleness, x-factor, beauty, artistic talent ......... for another hour.... a human being could have, all in one. But what made him the greatest was not exactly that. There are other people that do have some of those features, and maybe sometimes a bit bigger even, but he had them all together and above all : first he had to work hard since his childhood to become well known, so that he could spread his messages, earn money to be able to help people and after he reached his goal HE HAD MORE RESISTANCE AND HARD TIMES THAN ANYBODY ELSE ON THIS WORLD BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA AND OTHERS, on so many levels, to an extend nobody else could ever imagine. That is what makes it different. And he survived, and did more; like Maya Angelou stated in her poem. And yes, perhaps the best person ever is maybe not here anymore. That does not mean that there are no other great humans left, there are a lot and we all have our qualities. And why would we lose hope ? No reason.

According to Howard Bloom :

“If you stacked all those people (*) end to end, you wouldn’t have gotten one Michael Jackson,”
Howard declared.
“Michael Jackson was the most profoundly astonishing person I ever met…capable of seeing infinity in a fly…in a fingertip.”

and
Howard: “I feel I could see Michael open his chest and 10,000 kids were in there…his generosity defied belief.”

----
(*) Bloom worked with Michael Jackson, Prince, John Cougar Mellencamp, Kiss, Queen, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Joan Jett, Diana Ross, Simon & Garfunkel, The Talking Heads, AC/DC, Billy Idol, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run D.M.C., Simply Red, and the heads of many a media conglomerate. He was adept at spotting new subcultures, entering them, and helping their members achieve their goals…a skill which gave him an inside role in the rise of rap, disco, and punk rock.
-------

Howard Bloom, however, would lay the majority of it (that laid to June 25) on the media.

“There is a poison no one is talking about here. The poison of false headlines. If you were under persistent attack every day of your life for 25 years – as Michael was. He died at 50. That’s half of his life.”

There is no star with such loyal fans like Michael always had and still has

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME COMMON SENSE. YES MICHEAL JACKSON WAS A VERY TALNTED PERSON BUT HE IS NOT A MASSIAH OR GOD FOR THAT MATTER. I MEAN THERE ARE SOME EXTREME MICHEAL JACKSON FANS WHO JUST LOVED HIM. THERES A DIFFRENCE BETWEEN BEING A FAN AND JUST GOING TOATLY BONKERS. I LIKE MICHEAL JACKSON AS MUCH AS THE NEXT PERSON BUT IM NOT OBSSEED. NO ONE IS GREATER THAN ANYONE ALL OF US ARE HUMANS AND WE MAKE MISTAKES. SOMETIMES PEOPLE TRY TO MAKE MICHEALJACKSON BIGGER THANT WHAT HE WAS AND TAKE IT TO FAR WITH IDOLIZING HIM. =/

thank you my dear sister
how are you today
I love you so much

beautifly written Hend, Reina thank you - it brought good refreshing

Michael was with us for certain and thanks god long time.

thank you dear for your reply
and your bumbing
I love you so much

yes Michael was one of the greatest entertainer in our time
but when i made this post I meant him as whole not only his music
he did great music
and he did great deeds
he had great hurt
and he was great man
I don't deny this

but may be u didn't see people here talking about Michael as he is like Jesus peace be upon him
or even like God
if you noticed this thread is long time ago
and if you dig till the time of this thread
u will find many members here talking about him like that
in fact this thread is my reply for thread tittled
did you ever meet someone like Michael or he is unique
and in this thread there many talked that
there is no one like him
or he is the greatest
and no one will be like him

that is why I felt we have to open their eyes to other people
to not lose hope in the world
if we think that the kindest man died and no one will come like him
this will make us lose hope in the world
no
there are men like him
and there will be to
till the end of life

like Reina said
there is no time without this kind of great people

love you dear

I wish we know and feel the value of good people around us b4 they leave us
but this is life
u can't feel how important the person is until you feel the emptiness he/ she left behind

but b4 u or I separate
I love you my dear sister a lot
I love you so much

BUMP

I really don’t think that any of Michaels Fans feel that Michael was greater than God or Our Lord. Michael was the King of Pop. Elvis was the King of Rock and Roll. No one will be able to copy Michaels music. He was the greatest in Pop music. No one will sing his music with the feeling and the voice of Michael. No one will dance like Michael. Not even his brothers or sisters can touch his style. This is my opinion. When we lost Michael we lost his music. He touch your soul with his message through his music.
Just like Elvis, no one can touch his style. Did you know when Elvis first came to T.V. they would not show him dancing? I remember people saying he was from the devil. LoL Elvis was a white man who could mix his music with soul music. That is what made him different. Elvis and Michael opened doors to different forums of Music.
Did you notice that Michael never bragged about any of the Charities he supported. It was after his death that people began to find out just what he did for many. He had a heart of gold and shared it the best way he could. Supporting Charities. There are so may fans that did not have a clue just how much Michael gave back to the world. Yes, I feel that Michael was a exceptional singer and dancer and gave all he could to people who could not get help other wise. He was gifted in so many ways. We will miss him. We have lost so much in his music. His giving. His message of L.O.V.E. It is up to us the Fans to continue his message.
God is the Greatest and can never be touched. Jesus is our Lord and Savior. No one on this green earth can touch them. But I do think God gives us special people. Michael, Elvis, Princess Diana, Martin L King are just some examples of Gods Gifts to us who were not afraid to use their status to help assist people in Charities. Michael being the most generous of them all with money. Yes, Michael was human. That is what touched us all. Human and Talented.
There are many who give to the poor that we will never know about. They are special also.
Michael gave from the heart not for status. Take care, Michael Jackson Fan Family.

I know sweetie, that was exactly my point. I bolded that part, we have to open our eyes for those special people around us who are not chosen to be roling models and recognized all over the world, but also we have to give a credit to those like Michael who were chosen by God to do it on higher level. And there is no competition if someone is greater of them, they are all great at their own level with their own capabilities and we have to keep them while they are alive and keep memory of them when they are gone. Only God will judge us who was greater then others and who was the greatest. But there is also so many bad people out there, that is why is so important to select nice and decent people in our lives and keep them alive as long as we are. They are all one of a kind, and let's hope we'll learn to use our given time and this life to become one of them and join them when our time comes Smiling
Thank you sister for your warm and kind words, may Allah bless you! You are one of most amazing and most positive people I have met here and I'm happy for that! Love you! Smiling

how are you dear
I love you so much

u know in Islam there will be no time without those people
the great people who are live to help others and be there for the others
I know why u love Michael that much
and I still telling you
it will be great if you share it here in the forum
so please share it here or in separate thread cause it is really great story
but u see dear
in ur country
and the war u have there
u saw many great men too
not only Michael
men left their countries and their families and their jobs and their entire life just to go to your country and to defend their beliefs
I told u b4
I have CDs of those great men who killed in your country
I still see the smile in their faces welcoming death
they are really great men
may ALLAH accept them among Shohadaa

dear
I don't say that Michael wasn't great
no
I agree 100% that he was really great man in this world
but like my last reply to sister Jana
he wasn't greatest

and can I tell u something sister
you are one of the great people I met here in this site
I love u so much dear

u r right dear
Michael was really great man
but he wasn't the greatest
I made this topic cause I found some people here talking about him as a God not a human
so i wanted them to see that there are some people out there who great as Michael and more
and the world will not stand still
or the earth will not stop going
because of Michael death
we have to see the light
and to keep the faith
and hang on the hope
love u sister

the one in the closet is waiting for you lovely one Laughing out loud

Hend, sis, I understand what you are saying. Thank you for this thread and keeping hope to all dear people here.
I'll try to write my opinion and put it all in one place, I'll try to be as shorter as I can, but please forgive me if it will be long.
I agree that there are other also great people, there have always been and will always be. It's normal, it's God given gift to all of us. We, people, are gifts to each other, we are here to learn from each other, to reach out to each other, we are all here for purpose. Still, there are some people, let's say God chosen, with greater abilities, greater talents, greater opportunities and all that is for reason, for everyone who wants to open their hearts and accept valuable lessons. In Islam there are Prophets as most valuable people, chosen by God. In Christianity there are Apostles, and also other religions have their role modeling people in the middle. But beside them, as we all know and we are witnesses of that there are also other God chosen people, in Islam they are called velijj/ehlullah which means Friends of God ("Behold! verily on the friends of God there is no fear, nor shall they grieve; Those who believe and (constantly) guard against evil; For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of God. This is indeed the supreme felicity. - Qur'an, Yunus 62-64). And don't have any doubts why God had chosen some of those people among others. He knows His reasons, and I am here only to say "Thank you God, for your Mercy and gift of love, thank you for teaching me, thank You!". These people are role models of their times, and every era of humankind needs such people.
I really believe Michael was one of those extraordinary, inspirational human beings and I'll try to explain why. He had never considered himself better then others, he was too humble and too aware of God's role in his life to be that way, but he had always tried to do the best and more then anyone else. He was very, very aware of his role in his life and that he represents role model for many others. He is the one who had always used to say: "I can't take credit for anything, this is from God and I am His instrument". How many people are aware of that? How many people are aware that we can not move one finger without God's will? He had used his God given talent to spread peace, harmony and love on the Earth. He did that through his music, through his interaction with others, through the money he earned, and still he is doing that. He had left 20% of his estate for charities. What is more valuable then that? God had tempted him through so many things, and tempted us if we will learn or fail on that exam through this man. The most known person in the world, in the era of Globalization, had vitiligo. He was raised in the country full of racism, he had broken so many boundaries in entertainment industry, and among them was racist discrimination, and he had vitiligo. Still, he was most famous and most loved either while he was black and white. Color skin doesn't mean anything, what's important is what is inside. World has to learn that, still has unfortunatley, but I hope through his example some people already did. I know racism is forbidden in religions, especially in Islam, but still there are people out there who hate each other for prejudices of racism, nationalism and many other things. And Michael broke all of these boundaries. He was crucified in so many different ways, through media, through all slander people were spreading about him, through the trials. And poor man only had his faith in God and belief that the truth will prevail on his side. And it did. This cruel world had destroyed him. Still, we didn't learn why spreading gossips and slander is wrong, why it is wrong to accuse someone for something we didn't see with our own eyes, or hear with our own ears and we have to learn this, because it spreads negative energy among people, it spreads tensions and ruins harmony. God had gave us this beautiful planet and animals and humankind to take care of it, to spread peace and harmony, and not to destroy it. And Michael was one of those who did that, over and over and over again. Still, he stayed the same in his heart. Fame and money didn't change him. He was till the end same shy, sweet, humble, proud, strong boy (man) with a lot of dignity and love for God in his heart. He tried to remind us for all of his life on some really important values, faith, family bonds, humanitarism, kindness, careness, sharing, humility, dignity, strength and LOVE! And yes, we have to give him credit for that, and thank God for sending him. And yes, there is so many other people in this world who deserve our attention, but we have to learn to recognize them, and value them and keep them and learn from them while they are still here and not only when we loose them, like it happened to many with Michael.Strong I guess this is the last lesson of his life. We are gifts to each other and temptation at the same time. Michael was extraordinary in so many levels, and every single part of his life is lesson for us. I hope, I really hope we will learn something from it.
Thank you all who were patient to read this, I'm sorry it was long, but it's all for LOVE Smiling

I like this thread Hend, as I told to some my fan fellow that yes I love Michael, he was so extraordinar and blessed person, but I will try only to do what allah wants from me - and this is also why I love MJ.
He is shining and great but not the greatest one.

Love you <3

59dragonfly:
u are right dear
Michael was really great
I didn't say he wasn't
all I just wanted to say
that he wasn't the greatest
he was human
he is better than others
and others are better than him

and I got examples of some people who did things greater than what Michael did
they just not famous like Michael was
she their great deeds weren't known to the world like Michael
that is all that I wanted to say
I didn't deny his greatness
he was great
you can say very great person
in his work and in his personalty
but simply he wasn't the greatest of all human
thank you for your reply
I love you

There are many, many others who care about the environment, children all over the world, etc., etc., but not to the extent that Michael did. He was a multi-talented, intelligent, caring individual who went out of his way to do and give what he could. Sure Elvis was a singer, not a dancer, decent actor and helped people down on their luck. I was and still am a big fan of Elvis. The Beatles were a band, they sang, wrote music and did a couple of movies. I was a fan of them as well. Michael Jackson was an all- around entertainer, he could do it all at a much higher level. He wrote mostly all of his own music, sang and danced like no others, broke barriers like no other. MJ was a humanitarian like no other. He didn't just give money, he gave his time to hospitals mostly before his concerts where-ever he was performing just to make sick children smile if nothing else. He gave his time. He just didn't "send someone". He did it himself.

There is only one God and Michael believed in him with all his heart and taught others what he learned. He spent more time teaching us all some valuable lessons about love and human kindness. Others take the time as well and they still do, but not on the level as MJ did. He was very humble and he didn't like making it known every time he did something. This man gave children a chance at life. He had his foundation find a liver to save a child's life. His humanitarian efforts are unmatched. But it is not a contest on who does more. There are lots of beautiful people helping others. MJ is just well known for it. He spent millions to help and for him it wasn't about the amount of $ spent; it was about the fact that he had it to spend and put it to good use mainly for God's children.
