Who's the greater musical act?

Michael Jackson and The Beatles were two of the best acts in the musical industry. The big question is, who was the greatest. Growing up I loved listening and watching Michael Jackson. I think he was the greatest musical act of all time. At Frostburg State University in the Lane Center I asked a few students, who is the greater musical act, Michael Jackson or The Beatles?

"Michael Jackson is the greater act because he made the crossover between whites and blacks," said Miranda McClellan-Bowden of Baltimore, Md. She is a sophomore here majoring in political science and law and society. Charlotte Asare of Montgomery County in Maryland said, " Michael Jackson because Michael was more known. He is the king of pop!" Charlotte is a sophomore studying marketing. The final student that I interviewed was Derek Donn. Derek is a military brat, but he was born in Virginia. He is a transferred junior studying parks and recreation. Derek could not decide who to pick, he seemed like he was a big fan of both. As a result he said, "I believe Michael Jackson is the better pick, he put on a great show."
