I mean, the previous generation had Michael Jackson. But for our generation I think it's Beyonce."And I even put you can't compare anybody to anybody. Michael Jackson is a god. He's legendary. He's on a totally different level."But Beyonce, if she's not already, she absolutely will be on that same level. She will be looked upon in the same regards, if not more, as Michael Jackson was. That's just the truth to the matter. People hate when I say that, but you'll see in the future. It's gonna happen."
