"A previous article explored why Michael Jackson, musically, is not even in the same league as Prince. Another artist Michael Jackson can never touch is Bruce Springsteen, a far better vocalist, songwriter and singer than Michael Jackson can ever dream to be.Adding to their itinerary that included five Giants Stadium shows (that venue's last), Bruce Sprinsteen and the E Street Band have announced 25 new 2009 shows including two in November at Madison Square Garden in NYC. All dates below...In the early 1980s, Michael Jackson might have sold more than the Boss. But Bruce Springsteen was the critical favorite. Even before his mainstream breakout album Born in the USA, Bruce was on the top of every critic's list. When Born in the USA was released, he not only overshadowed Michael Jackson, but made other stars seem irrelevant. The Boss had more dedicated fans than any artist of the 1980s."

Bruce Springsteen all but disappeared from the world charts and the media after Streets Of Philadelphia back in 1993. Prince fares batter on longevity and relevance. But I think the true survivor is George Michael.
Just last December he ended a highly successful 80 dates tour saw by more than 1.6 Million people in Europe and the US.

2:37 - his/her simply misinformed what?
simply and misinformed being the adjectives, describing what noun?
unless you meant to use the conjunction "you're", in which case your grammar is bad.

One of my long standing dreams was to attend Bruce Springsteen concerts live. . I know all the words of his songs by heart …well he is performing this year. Next weekend I’m going to visit my sister and we will attend his
Bruce concert; someone recommended me Ticketsinventory.com to get cheap tix.So I'll be analyzing as well as enjoying the concert.

Say what you will about Michael Jackson,but it's obvious now after MJ died that his fan base is so much stronger the Springsteins. Musicly and Entertainment wise he did so much more then Springstein. When someone says 80's music naturally you think MJ. MJ hasn't made an album in 8 years before his death,haven't performed in about the same,but still a 10 concert tour was so overwelmed of fans,that the had to increase it to 50 concerts,and they all SOLD OUT in 4 (FOUR)...I say it again 4 HOURS. Not days!! Not Months!!! Not Days of!!! 4 HOURS for 50 shows!!!!!! And now that he's dead,his docramentry "This Is IT" is already SOLD OUT,in houndreds of thearters all over the WORLD one month before it's even showing!!! Look at all MJ has done in his life,from The Jackson 5,to The Jacksons Variety Show,to people like Fred Astaire saying he's "the greatest dancer of the century,to even Frank Sinatra saying that MJ sings better then him. Don't believe it?? Look it up!!!Come On Springstein couldn't even imagine that kind of popularity. I'm from Jersey,and Springstein is "The Boss" here,but MJ is THE KING of Entertainment.
