Bobby Brown Explains Why Chris Brown Is Closer To Michael Jackson Than

Chris Brown has been compared to Michael Jackson for most of his career.

50 Cent once called him the new M.J., and Fat Joe said he would’ve taken the late singer’s place if he didn’t assault Rihanna in 2009.

The latest celeb to compare Chris to Michael is Bobby Brown, who sat down for an interview on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast.

In one part, Bobby said that Chris is closer to the Thriller creator than Usher when it comes to talent.

“Chris Brown is a dancer, singer, slash great entertainer,” said the New Edition crooner. “He goes out there and he does the ultimate stuff on stage, and you just have to love it. Usher is also a great entertainer, but I got to go with Chris on being as close to Michael as anybody can ever get.”

A lot of people blasted Bobby for his opinion, which is usually the case when any singer gets compared to Michael.

Would you say that Chris is the closest thing to the King of Pop?
