Michael Jackson mania hits Theatre Royal as he leaves after watching Oliver in Drury Lane, London

If you want to see Michael as he comes out of the theatre you can scroll forward to the end, but you might be interested in all the commotion and mayhem they have before hand, just before the police are called in for back up to control the crowd.

[@ELLABELLAMJ]

How many people would wait to see just a 1 second glimpse of their idol for over two hours? Wow, the world will never experience that kind of love again and I don't care if anyone wants to continue making up lies about him, no one will ever stop me loving this man and his memory. I will always miss you MJ.

4. However, even off stage, MJ caused some form of hysteria amongst whatever crowd size had spotted him; from kids to teenagers, to mature adults - he was instantly recognisable in every corner of the world. To be honest, I find that quite scary in a way!?! Though I didn’t like every single song - I just thought he had a beautiful voice - soothing in ballads & a great mover. However, it was his Humanitarianism & messages of Love & Peace v the way he was treated, which really got to me.

Actually, a horse is a legitimate way to deal with crowd control. The policeman can stand above everybody and get the crowds attention while also reducing risk of himself getting hurt plus the horse is clearly trained to deal with situations such as these by the mans threats to pull the horse into the crowd.

@Logicallyrare MJ is MORE successful than any other solo artist !not even Elvis ,u can't even compare him to MJ. and MJ sold MORE FAAR than Elvis ,if u don't know Elvis was not able to sell more than 80 Million record outside U.S at his time . Michael is the biggest solo artist of all time in his life , and with only 10 albums sold MORE than 750 Million recored worldwide ,also don't forget how many albums Elvis has, more than 60 Album,but he couldn't sell as much as MJ did in his live .

[@jarrettcone8949]

MJ -KSA I strongly agree with you and Thriller keeps getting bigger

[@michaelbaby3322]

True

[@ddjmfan]

Yeah and the media wanted to say that people had forgotten him and didn't care about him anymore. What BS. Michael was still loved by a great many people up until the day he died. The media should be kicking themselves because they are partially to blame for Michael's death. If they just would have left him alone. He just wanted to make music and make people happy and yet the media wanted to make his life a living hell. The jokes on them, Michael's in Heaven.

[@pickboaa]

There will allways be a few a-holes but a whole world cant be wrong can it? There will never be anyone like MJ ever and that makes me very sad. I never got to see him live and i will regret that forever probably but he will live on forever through his music and his fans. R.I.P from Sweden.

@Logicallyrare Elvis popularity went to the sky after he died, when Michael has been gone as long as Elvis, then it would be innteresting to count records between them. No one has been so famous as Michael when they was alive, maybe that would bring him infront of Elvis in the future. And i would say its hard to compare record sailes today, when Elvis was around, people had to buy records but now many download it from internett, looks at utube and so one.

3. With this, I think it is more the “potential” of any given entertainer/s to be able to reach far & wide with whatever it is they have to offer. Regardless of how many of us are watching / listening to them, they either reach us on a personal level, or they don’t. “The sheer number of people” … well of course, MJ broke records with crowd attendance. Constant hysteria, slow crowd crush, screaming, fainting & chanting of his name - been there 3 times - I’m just not the hysterical type.

3. - I can think of, who appealed to the complete age spectrum. Sorry, it is not just about population numbers. You could be exposed to 6 billion people & gain a few million fans - yet, you could be exposed to just one billion & gain a few hundred million fans. Ultimately, it is about how wide a group / individual appeals to others - regardless of the number of populace they are exposed to. MJ appealed to all races, religions, backgrounds, cultures & age groups. That was my whole point!

@Logicallyrare 1. It is not “simple” math, as you put it. You can't come to a total without the whole equation; we are talking about the worldwide popularity of a person/entertainer, and the longevity of it - from child superstar to adult megastar. Here is the other element I am trying to explain to you: You can take a mixed bag of other worldwide stars like Brittany, Madonna, Rod Stewart, & even Paul McCartney, (the latter two of whom I have in my personal music collection), as part -

[@SharifSourour]

@Angie2106 2. The greater the population, the greater the potential number of fans an artist can get EVEN IF the average percentage of fans vs. non-fans is equal. Therefore if you're saying the percentage of fans vs. population doesn't change based on population increase, I agree, but I was talking about sheer number of people, not the percentage of people. The sheer number of people is relevant when talking physical hysteria at a venue.

[@SharifSourour]

@jkdure Yeah maybe who knows... I was talking about now, not later, but sure, it's possible.

[@SharifSourour]

@Emily41162 True, but we should also factor in the fact that the population has increased a lot since The Beatles and Elvis.

@Logicallyrare 1. I agree that the more of this or that, can mean the more chance of that or this, but when it comes to this particular subject, anyway - I think the overall key word is, “Potential”. However, “Potential” is kind of incomplete because it only means something which is, *probable: Which has *capability: Which is *possible, & so forth; ultimately, it does not always add up to or equal, (pun intended), to any specific total regarding exposure percentages, because this kind of -

Mark Lester and Michael have been friends for many years. They met long ago in the 70's or 80's

[@catherwintong]

wt's the horse for??

[@SharifSourour]

@Angie2106 Of course population increase is a factor. If there are only 5 billion people on the earth the max potential for the amount of fans a person can gain is 5 billion people whereas if there are 7 billion people on the earth, the potential for the greatest amount of fans becomes 7 billion people, generally speaking the potential for popularity increases with the increase in population, it is very simple math.

[@SharifSourour]

@munk4sale Well if you look at record sales, The Beatles sold the most, they are the biggest selling music act of all time, Elvis comes in second making him the biggest selling solo artist of all time, then MJ comes in right after him for record sales. MJ however has the biggest selling single album of all time (which is different) and is known for his great stage and video innovations. MJ may not have been as financially successful but he's probably more famous than the others.

[@SharifSourour]

@mjacksonnumber1 What about The Beatles?

[@SharifSourour]

@Angie2106 1. I see what your saying and I'm not saying it's wrong. I am saying that the increase in population IS a factor because it increases the potential for exposure of anyone. OF COURSE if an artist is not appealing to people, no matter how many people get exposed, it won't help much for getting a large percentage of fans. However the key point here is percentage.

[@jkdure]

@Logicallyrare Elvis popularity whent to the sky after he died, When Michael has been goone as long as Elvis, then ve could count record sales to se who has sold most. No one has been so famous when they where alive as Michael, maybe hes popularity and record sales well improve more and more as the years go bye.

[@SharifSourour]

@Angie2106 Yeah MJ is awesome. What you brought up just now is kind of off topic, but I don't disagree. I think MJ's the last mega music phenomenon like The Beatles, Elvis Presley & Frank Sinatra before him. Since then I don't think there has been 1 as big & culturally impacting as him, but they all had similar effect in their own unique ways, it is hard to say for example Elvis is better than MJ or vice-versa, when looking at all the facts. Who knows if the future holds another such phenomenon.

[@jarrettcone8949]

Michael was way bigger than The Beatles And Elvis put together

[@SharifSourour]

@@jarrettcone8949 Not in terms of sales during his time nor in terms of being as prolific as a solo artist. Maybe if you put his Jacksons and kid solo stuff together with his adult solo stuff it starts to come close to the Beatles, but not Elvis.

2. - of this math you talk of. The latter three have basically shared the same worldwide population growth figures throughout their careers - with Brittany perhaps gaining approx 2 billion more by the time she arrives on the scene. After all the math, what difference did it really make?

2. - math is not simply about numbers - I’d be flying along if it was. When it involves our *personal taste in anything - not just artists/music, that is where the complication sets in; we are a complex species! When it comes to a subject like this, I think it is far too personal a thing to bother looking too deep into it, (Re: percentages of population v potential fans)…maybe if we were talking an extra 8 billion in population increase since when, I would probably take more note of it.
