Michael Jackson is a world wide legend....mention him anywhere you go and people are going to know who you are talking about. He was a musical sensation, and sure he was a little crazy...but he was also crazily successful. I'm not sure anyone can ever out do Mr. Jackson.....wait, what did I just hear? EXCUSE ME?? Are you sure? WOAH!!! Justin Bieber's movie "Never Say Never" has earned more money in the domestic box office than Michael Jackson's "This Is It" making it the number one concert documentary of all time? Holy cow, that seems unreal! I guess the King of Pop can be beat. Hello Michael Jackson, meet the Prince of Pop the one and only Justin Drew Bieber.
The Biebster lives by the motto "never say never" and apparently he knows what he's talking about, who would have ever guessed this to be possible! He went on his Twitter today paying tribute to Michael Jackson and also thanking his fans for this huge accomplishment. Here's a few tweets from his page....
" WHAT??!!?!!? WOW!!! THIS IS CRAZY!!! #WEDIDIT #ILOVEMYFANS #NEVERSAYNEVER"
"but MJ is still and always will be the KING OF POP! and worldwide we got a long way to go. #MJtheGreatestEVER #SHOWRESPECTTOTHEKINGOFPOP"
"but regardless thank you thank you thank you to all those that did and are continuing to support #NSN3D around the world. #MUCHLOVE"
Justin is obvioulsy very happy and excited, but just like his second tweet says, he does have a long way to go internationally. Michael Jackson's movie earned close to one hundred and ninety million dollars over seas, while Justin's is at a mere eleven million. However, let me add that the Beibster's movie has been slower to release over seas. Some places just opened with it this past weekend and others are still waiting to get it in. So don't tell Justin or any of his Belieber's this is an impossible goal, because I'm sure you can guess what we have to say to that....NEVER SAY NEVER!!!!
It's also recently been rumored that JBieb's movie might be nominated for an Oscar in the best documentary catregory. Seems like a long stretch, I agree. But so many people have spoken out in support of the Never Say Never film.....to name a few: Ellen DeGeneres, George Lopez, Mike Tyson, Jason Bateman, Kelly Ripa....and that's just some right off the top of my head. People love the movie, so I'm not gonna say it's out of the realm of possibility. What do you think my fellow Beliebers, does Justin have a chace of beating out Michael Jackson's movie internationally? Does the film have a fighting chance at making it to the Oscar's? Do you never say never? Leave a comment and tell me just how far you think the Biebs film will go.
