-doesn't know why i have to defend myself for wanting her not to break MJ's record, considering it's almost general consensus that Thriller is a million, billion times better than this half-arsed heap of pop ****e-

So I get a bit pissed off at people throwing that statement out there. Dislike the song, sure, but try and discredit her for doing what the rest of us would do if we were in her position? Sit down.

Well of course anyone would want the record, but that fact that she had to release a remixed version of a song for it to go #1 (ET), rerelease a crappy remix and discount another song of it to go #1 (TGIF) and now this, sorta shows she doesn't deserve it, anyone could do it by constantly rereleasing their single with a different artist just for it to chart higher

Anyone could do it - and yet nobody else has managed it other than Katy in recent living memory. Say what you like about her, but if nothing else, she knows exactly what she's doing to get to where she wants to be - isn't that something we should be applauding rather than shouting down as being audacious or whatever.

And, Shaun, a quick google search informs me that these were the five songs from one album to hit #1 from Michael Jackson..

- I Just Can't Stop Loving You
- Bad
- The Way You Make Me Feel
- Man In The Mirror
- Dirty Diana

Neither of them are Beat It or Thriller, two examples you gave, it's not like the best 5 Michael Jackson songs came from one album and it's therefore a miscarriage of justice that Katy Perry has equalled this record and is trying to go one better. I don't see what the problem is. He'll be forever remembered as being a child star, then being the King of Pop, then his later life drama... Katy Perry is just a pop singer. He'll have the longer lasting legacy - she'll have one record. I don't get why it ruffles so many feathers.

oh -thought it was Thriller-

and because katy perry is ****, greg. feathers ruffled because she's ****. proactively ****.

Because noone else has tried by rereleasing/discounting their songs.

I think people also are too quick to jump to conclusions about what the two individual achievements actually consist of. Michael Jackson managed it in a time without the influence of the internet. Katy Perry managed it in a time with the influence of the internet. Both, in my opinion, are remarkable achievements for entirely different reasons. The internet can both make and ruin popstars - sometimes both. Katy Perry's ridden a wave of social media, media exposure etc to do this; while Michael Jackson did not. So on the one hand; that Michael Jackson accomplished such a feat in that time is outstanding; and on the other hand, that Katy Perry's done it while competing with every other artist who has the same means at their disposal regardless of talent etc etc, is also impressive.

I think it's just a matter of how you interpret it, personally. I don't see how they're even comparable achievements beyond being the numbers 5 or 6. Different eras, different styles, different genders ffs, they have so little to do with each other it's unreal.
