MJ may have a bad image post posthumously, but his legacy in music is still there. Over the years, I have heard many different new artists get compared to him; Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, and most recently, the Weeknd.
The Weeknd has been my favorite musician ever since I heard 2015's the Hills, I went back and listened to all of his old music and now his music is just my favorite entertainment. But I'm not going to be biased about this; I think Bruno Mars does a greater job of emulating Bruno.
And when I say emulate, not at all do I mean the "next" MJ. There will never be another MJ. There will never be another superstar celebrity bigger than him; not even Taylor Swift. But as for just overall delivery, I give it to Bruno. The Weeknd often has a hard time stretching his vocals.

in his 3rd one he doesn't even try

I don't think Bruno has this sort of problem when he performs live but I could be wrong. Either way though I still like the Weeknd's music better; he is my favorite, but Bruno Mars is still dope.

Which of these two musicians reminds you more of MJ?
