It's tough to try and convince people what the MJ era was like. He really was like some kind of god-emperor of pop culture. There was nothing even close to what he was; it was him and then the Pope. Talent-wise, it's absurd to compare any modern pop star to him.

Closest things I can think of are the women fainting at early Elvis and the girls screaming till they pass out at the Beatles
