I was at a place this evening and there was an argument.Considering Ronaldo's Fame now at the peak of his career and Michael Jackson's fame at the peak of his career before his death. Who's more famous?

cc: fynestboi

Ronaldo

Number one MONEY.
number two JESUS!
Every other being won't be known in a century's time

How can you compare micheal jackson to Ronaldo??..
My mom who is in her early 50's said she rocked micheal jackson songs during her maiden-hood...During the time where the only person with television was the district head..Yet his name traveled beyond boundaries..
This alone has killed any CR's point..
Although CR is a GOAT,but MJ is NOT A LEGEND...MJ is LEGEND

I think it is Cristiano Ronaldo.

1 During the peak of Michael Jackson's career, there was no really strong popularity vehicle, social media, unlike now when Cristiano is at his peak.

2. Michael sang in English language. Language barrier could have hindered/reduced his popularity in non English speaking countries. Football has no language. FIFA has more countries as member than United Nations (UN). Football is every nation's language.

Hey folks let us try it one more time...
like for Ronaldo and share for Michael Jackson
Let's go there!!!

Michael Jackson ofc.

Because some ladies
/kids/aged men and women who dont care about football dont know C.Ronaldo! But sports or no sports lovers all knows M.Jackson.

Music is a worldwide thing ...mj, Beyonce are more popular than Ronaldo . Ronaldo and Messi are morepopular sports though cause U can't know Ronaldo without Messi and vice versa .

Op you deserve to be crucified for this blasphemous comparison.

There's nobody more popular than Michael Jackson in the last 200 years.

Some ppl who know michael Jackson don't know Ronaldo
Most ppl who know Ronaldo definitely know Michael Jackson

Jesus Christ is the most popular

ok, but the topic is comparing just two personalities, so why not give your suggestion

I saw a thread last year about beyonce and cr7 who got more fame .
some girly gaays and ignorant folks chose beyonce Knowles over cr7 . i was so disappointed.
Goal is the only language everyone on earth understands.
Cr7 and Michael Jackson comparison wl be a very tough one because

1) Micheal is an icon LIVING , a legend , the most awarded recording artist in the history of popular music. A mentor and major influence to younger artistes/ uprising stars.

2) Cristaino Ronaldo is a soccer God , A living legend and also a major influence to younger footballers ..got 5 balon'Dors to his name . many trophies and all.
Greatest of all time.

Music is versatile tho but Soccer is everywhere.
soccer unites the world.
soccer involves continets
Different folks ..languages .


For me , Ronaldo gonna edge this one .



He' got more fame than macko wacko jacko !

Jesus is Lord. He is not a human being.

Hedonisst:


Jesus is Lord. He is not a human being.

But he's a personality. He came as a human and his fame has been from everlasting to everlasting, so he's the most popular while others follow

Okay if you say so, but at least that's why I said Michael Jackson is the most famous in the last 200 years (Jesus came and left over 2000 years ago).

In fact, for purposes of context, I dare say Michael Jackson is the most famous personality in the post-industrial age - the most famous so far in the history of mass media enabled humanity. .

Michael Jackson is .....

My 7years old nephew born after Mj death knows Michel Jackson. 5years from now when Ronaldo quit active football, will the younger generation know who he is?

Mj is the most famous man in history, second to jesus Christ, he sold out shows in countries who dont even speak english, he was worshiped in Europe, Asia, africa, America, Australia, virtually every where, children born after mj died knws him

so because your mom knows messi and doesn't know ronaldo makes messi more popular than ronaldo ?
Their social media handles wl do the talking and not me .
Back to the topic, Micheal jackson is famous ..No doubt
MJ worshipped across all continents ? A very big lie.
Not all kids growing up knows MJ ..
i know few kids who got no clue about MJ..
Tbh, Mj only pops out when we wanna talk about dancing. i believe his dancing skills speaks more than his songs right now.
The old lads who are still alive would beat their chest of knowing Cristaino Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is the most popular athlete of the mordern generation.
The only person who got this fame like ronaldo and still living in taste of time is pele .

Music has no language barrier, especially never with a global icon like Michael Jackson.

Who does not know Michael Jackson? My ex girlfriend didn't even know Ronaldo but she knew Michael Jackson even though she only listened to gospel songs. My godmother does not know Ronaldo but knows Michael Jackson. My godfather knows them both. I am sure it is like this in many families.

Even long after his reign, Michael Jackson is still relevant. Many artistes have incorporated his dance from the United States to India to China, e.t.c. Many school kids all over the world learn his dance steps, especially the moonwalk.

Michael Jackson is legend.

You dint even compare bubu and cr7,is mj and cr7.

it's not always about social handles. The population of people who ain't on social media and fan Messi is higher than Ronaldo's. Visit a nearby village and see for yourself
speaking from experience.

Maradona is a retired legend and is still known, same with Ronaldinho so Cristiano would still be known after quitting football

what are you trying to insinuate?

That messi is more famous than ronaldo? you must be a messi die hard fan.
lord! I'm done with this arguement ..argue with someone else .

you only know them cause you are a football lover... if you can ask 10 random persons who pele is and who Micheal is, I bet more will be familiar with the music legend. To me music is more universal than football. My opinion

Op Ibu ewu. Hw can u be making such blasphemous comparison? Even Wizkid is more popular than Ronaldo and u 're comparing Ronaldo and d altime king of entertainment the world has ever known Wako Jako (MJ) In fact u need to face firing squad right now. Next time come and compare United State of America and ur stupid wretched village if thunder no fire u, ka m mara Ife kpatalia?
