Jay-Z Says Beyonce Is the 'Second Coming' of Michael Jackson: Do You Agree?

If you thought Gwyneth Paltrow was going off the deep end when she compared her husband to Picasso, you'll get a kick out of this.

Jay-Z knew exactly what he was saying when he told radio host Lorenzo Thomas that he thinks of his wife Beyonce like she's the second coming of Michael Jackson.

He said, "What I've learned from her is similar to what I learned from [Michael Jackson] -- and I know that's blasphemy to compare the two because Mike was such an innovator -- but I think she's like the second coming. Y'know, the hard work and dedication that she puts into her shows. It just makes you want to work harder at your own craft. She's like a machine."

Because we all know Jackson's work ethic was the main reason he was considered the King of Pop. It had nothing to do with developing the contemporary pop image as we know it.

Then again, at just 29 years old, Beyonce already has 16 Grammy Awards. That's three more than MJ had at the time of his death.

Hey ... as long as Jay-Z is claiming the throne, he's going to need a Queen of Pop to help him rule.

    Not even remotely close.

    Jay-Z must be smokin' some really potent sh!t.

    Or just attention whoring.


    You make the call.

    If you are opposed to cruelty, then you may want to look into the meats you
    eat. The slaughtering factories can be cruel.

    Well, technically, we murder the plants to eat them as well. We consume salad leaves, cabbage heads, etc.

    In this world there are many beliefs. There is only one beleif I now to be a fact and that is God created certain animals that we feed off to give us protein and other things. This is a God given law. Read the bible

    Wow! where did you get that pic from? seriously Im not going to debate this pic that u have here because that is dealing with one's religious belief. I am speaking my opinion and belief. I will just say that I don't believe anything that this pic is displaying. God Is real and I believe in the bible and your pic is a LYE!!! and that is my belief.

    I am already fully aware of it. Though it's cruel, how else do you propose to feed a massive population .. especially one that is being invaded with 3rd world trash from Mexico who insist on over breeding what they can't support?
  • anisha.... Tank 2011/08/18 07:44:30
    anisha.garib
    3rd world trash... that’s how you refer to human beings? That’s awful. More than enough crops could be grown for human consumption if they were not being fed to livestock.

    What an intelligent and well thought out response, no sign of ignorance to be found at all. How refreshing to have someone so whole heartedly comply with the spirit of discussion. Especially on an open forum like this, created for people to express their views. And from someone from a country that is presently at war claiming to be defending civil liberties, like freedom of speech and belief.
    It’s sad that the best argument you could come up with was “take it to the surface of the moon” and the fact that you think the ground is the same everywhere, that really says something about the schooling system in the US.

    If we weren't supposed to eat them, they would taste like broccolli, not meat.

    No one is, or will be the second coming of Michael Jackson. There is one Michael Jackson. One Elvis Presley. One Beyonce. That's it.

    No, she is talented, but some people really need to get over themselves.Jay-Z seems to think way to much of himself too. A little humility would be nice to see in some of these celebrities.
