Congrats to Adele!
Guys, seriously, calm down. MJ's records will be broken sooner or later. That's just the nature of records. IT DOESN'T MATTER, at least not anymore.
i believe Adele's 21 is a remarkable achievement. And I do hope that she continues making excellent music.
ASIS I believe you on the point about Michael's records being broken. What we have to remind ourselves, is that the type of musician/entertainer Michael is will not be found for a long time or maybe never. Further, the standards used to judge music/entertainment/production etc is not the same as when Michael was working in the 80s.
There are several artists at a level below Michael's genius, although we like their music too. These artists will now get more awards faster, sell music faster, pass his records faster, but it does not mean their songs or output are better than Michael's because the standards used to judge these things in the industry has changed. We all notice over the years that the quality of people's work has decreased. Now if someone like Adele beat bad in the 80's when we had the same standards, then I probably would be more in awe.
Remember music and music buying was at a low ebb until Michael did something about it. Now we should be conditioning ourselves for others to pass these records, except Thriller of course.
