NOtice how people weren't intersetd in listening to him until he died, I think he is well known, but not entirely for the right reasons

Where do you live ?

California, Why does that matter?

I lived in the middle east visited far east and now i live in Sudan (Africa), and in all these places people grew up listening to MJ music

Maybe in America its different 

It has been different in America, ever since that kid accused him of innapropriate things. I dont see why people started dislikiong him after that, I've always liked his music, but some people lost faith in him or something.

People started disliking him primarily because his actions (paying the child to keep quiet) made him look guilty, and people in North America tend not to like sexual predators regardless of how famous they are.

 

Now, back on topic ... the fame of Michael Jackson can easily be demonstrated by going anywhere in the world and asking anyone if they have heard of Michael Jackson and whether they could name or sing a noteable portion of one of his songs; and it is likely that 95% of people would be able to do this. You might get similar results with the Beatles, but you'd be lucky to get 25% of people in North America who could name any song by Bob Marley (and that would go down in most other regions of the world).
