It kind of bugs me that all the news channels and reports are calling him the King of Pop. Twenty years ago, yes. Not like I'd expect them to be saying "Former King of Pop," but at least mention "at the height of his popularity, he was known as the King of Pop."
I know that's a dumb thing to be irritated about, and it's not like I think "HE'S not the King of Pop! So-and-So is the real king of pop!" I can't really explain why it's bugging me.
And a question: is he really still that gigantically huge in the rest of the world? Even after his popularity waned in the States, you knew he still had millions of fans crying and shaking and screaming for him. Okay, fine.
Is that still the case? Are they the ones who snatched up tickets to 50 concerts, or is it more of a nostalgia thing? Or "this is going to be big, and I need to be there" thing?
It's not like the guy has been putting out new music in the rest of the world and not here. Is the rest of the world still just riding on the relatively few albums he put out? Or is he not as shaking/screaming/crying popular as he was back in the 90s or so?
