Jay-Z Compares Beyonce to MJ



Jay-Z Compares Beyonce to MJ
Jay-Z may ruffle some feathers with his recent praise of his wife, superstar Beyonce. Jay compared Bey to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, in saying that he sees a lot of what made MJ great in his wife's work ethic and dedication.
"What I've learned from her is similar to what I learned from Mike [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," Jay explained. "You 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."

She and he (mike) are virgo's perfectionists and know how they want things to go when it comes to their passions in life...

of course ppl would exaggerate what Jay is saying, even though he's clearly talking about the passion Beyonce puts into her work & shows. I believe she tries to make each show better & more spectacular than the one before it. But of course this is all a matter of opinion; the very thing Jay was giving (his opinion). Why do ppl take what others say as the gospel, is still a baffling concept to me.

Jay-z is crazy in love with his wife so it made him crazy stupid for saying that.

i dont think that there is such a comparison. dont get me wrong, both artist are amazing but MJ was on a whole other level. When MJ made music, it was always off the wall; i was always eager to see what he would do next. Beyonce and Michael are both amazing at what they do but comparing the two, or anybody to Michael, is incoherent.

Mike was HUGE in the UK and worldwide... Beyonce? Tinyboppers and man haters listen to her. Same singing style. Never seen a grown man say hey im a go cop that new beyonce. Unless its coochie ridin JayZ. But Kelly Roland got grown up music. Plus Mike was the single greatest contributer to Charities in the world. Jay and B pat their own pockets... nuff said.

I know Jay loves his wife but he is so WRONG for this comparison. I understand that she puts a lot into her craft but she is not even close to MJ and his craft. MJ was an originator, Bey on the other hand NOT so much. There will never be a questionable show that MJ did where we have to wonder if he got his idea from somewhere or someone else. Bey, admittingly takes her ideas from other people sometimes. Her music does not stand alone like MJs did. I love me some Bey but I DON'T THINK SO

Idk what he's thinking abt. But I don't see his wife making history like mike did. She won't be at that level. MJ won a lot of hearts and music awards, his videos have no equal. What have she done? Maybe a few awards, but to me the videos don't make any sense! SMH at u JAY-Z

I love B and Jay, dont necessicarily agree with his comparison but I do believe she's on her way to greatness. She has the potential to be as big, especially since she stands for more than just a cute face in a thong. She's "classy" & creative! I love it!

When bouncy can sell 100 million copies of 1 album then she can be compared to MJ

What he is saying that he sees the same hard work and dedication in his wife the same of what he seen in MJ. Nothing is wrong with that, he is not saying that his wife is better than MJ. I could agree I think that she works really hard for what she has same as MJ. They are both very great performers. That is that man's (Opinion)

I believe that this is very true statement, she is getting there but ill give her one year.

I agree..... I've always said Beyonce' was like the female version of Michael. And to for your information her new album is AMAZING. People always want to hate on her because she is a hard worker. She wins awards and makes the top of the charts because she is very talented.

Stop hating on the queen in the game. She sings,dances,acts, and does a whole lot more.

Michael Jackson created POP... he created MUSIC... Beyonce makes hits... which anyone can do with the right team. Ever since he was a boy michael stuck out from the rest. Beyonce has become a famous person through time and experience... Michael became famous from day one... She may work hard.... but until she makes her own form of MUSIC.... and actually starts writing all her own songs... maybe even putting words in instead of just repeating everything... even creates a new dance move .... like the moon walk.. she will just be another good female artist...

It's obvious it's Jays opinion, okay, yes. But why have Beyonce be compared to anyone else? If you are great at "your craft" as he's claiming she is, no need to be compared to someone great. Make your own legacy. MJ wasn't compared to anyone. Now what?

NoNoNoNoNO. Jay z i ccan't stand that man period. he aint no god, and neither is hes wife period. I'm tired of them two tryna brainwash folks with there ego's no I don't think so period. Michael is and will all ways be the best, and original. Everybody know beyonce can sing, and yes she is good at what she does, but she aint no mj let that be clear. I dont care what that devil worshiping jay z says, and heim, and hes wife need to come down to earth. Michael was magic, he cant be touched alive, or dead. This is there plan they tryna make them selfs biger then what they actually are, and im tired of it. God runs this world not beyonce ( did yall here what she said at the end of here documentary re watch that) These folks is to ahead of themselfs 4real, and im not sittin back nomore without sayn something. They need to just do music, and stop tryna brainwash our children. Say what you want that my word, and god bless,And one more thing Jayz beyonce may work hard, but she is not i repeat not original, and iconic, and she aint no second coming third coming, or even a coming of the king of pop let that be known im out.
