Social media users sparked wild debates on X (Twitter) by suggesting Beyoncé has now surpassed Michael Jackson as the greatest entertainer of all time.

Beyoncé’s fanatic fan base believe her Netflix Christmas Day halftime performance was greater than any Michael Jackson performance in history.

One Beyoncé fanatic wrote: “Michael Jackson doesn’t have nearly as many great performances as Beyoncé and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.”

But Michael’s fans say there is no competition: Michael is the GOAT dead or alive. Michael accomplished more by age 25 than Beyoncé has done at age 43 (or whatever her real age is).

One X user wrote: “You are f****n retarded if you believe Beyoncé has surpassed Michael Jackson. MJ blew up without social media, without the Internet, his music transcended his genre and broke down so many barriers to unite the world.”

Another person wrote: “I need y’all to stop comparing Beyoncé to Michael Jackson, there will never be another him. She’s talented in her own right, but no.”

A third person wrote: “I wish people could appreciate Beyoncè for her being the greatest performing talent of this generation without comparing her to past greats like Michael Jackson.”
