Justin Bieber came first with 7,092 votes, followed by Michael Jackson at a close second place with 6,872 votes. Justin Bieber is the first music artist in history to have more than 10 billion views on YouTube, and is also the first artist to have three music videos with over 1 billion views."

1. Well, when Justin had sex with underage children he was also underage

He's got that in his favor.

[Iggo]

2. They're wrong.

[TroyJackson]

3. jb is the greatest musician

how are they wrong? who is better than justin

[shenmue]

28. Enjoy your stay

[cwydro]

37. Numerous links by this OP to this same website over and over again.

Interesting.

I won't click on it.

[niyad]

4. who???

[jakeXT]

5. They are both 5′ 9″ /nt

[bigwillq]

6. I think Bieber is talented

But nowhere near greatest of all time status.

[whistler162]

7. Must be since less than 1% of the worlds

population can't be wrong

[GeorgeGist]

8. Your daily dose of idiocracy is here.

[Mendocino]

9. Has DU turned into Tigerbeat?

David Cassidy vs Lief Garrett?

[ms liberty]

20. Doubtful, but apparently MTV has! n/t

[Mendocino]

22. Doesn't this sort of fluff

belong in the lounge at least? I don't the average demographic here is in the preteen/junior high teenybopper crowd.

[ms liberty]

27. This is in the Lounge. n/t

[Mendocino]

29. oops

[ms liberty]

31. LOL - some days are like that! :-) n/t

[The Second Stone]

10. Eat your heart out Baby Mozart!

Beibs rules the under 12 crowd!

[TexasBushwhacker]

11. But 10 years from now, MJ will probably still have those votes

I don't think Justin Bieber will have that kind of staying power

[TroyJackson]

12. justin bieber will be remembered for a very long time

trust me

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. Aren't most of his fans teens and tweens?

I mean most people my age (59) remember the Monkees, but I don't think any of them would say they were the greatest band.

[Skittles]

21. he won't

trust me

[LanternWaste]

34. With his poetic depth reaching that of the seminal 1970s single, Disco Duck

With his poetic depth reaching that of the seminal single, Disco Duck, and his musical talent on par with the Starland Vocal Band, he'll soon be up there with the Bay City Rollers and the Banana Splits in our memories of deep lyrics, moving melodies and a dedication to his craft.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

50. Heeeee!!

[Initech]

13. To quote Hank Hill: "I don't know whether to laugh or vomit."

Michael Jackson for all his flaws, at least was a talented musician who produced some great songs like Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, and so on. Decades from now people will still be seeking out Jackson's music going all the way back to Jackson 5, do you think decades from now people will still be listening to Justin Beiber? Hell no!

[Aristus]

15. I'm guessing the polling sample was restricted to Beliebers...

[In_The_Wind]

18. Could be.

[TroyJackson]

35. living the dream life

hot girls, money ,cars

[TroyJackson]

25. it was restricted to music fans in general

MTV viewers

[pinboy3niner]

26. Belieber on Aisle 5! Belieber on Aisle 5!

To tell the truth, I don't care what music you like. If you enjoy the guy's music, more power to you.

[Tobin S.]

16. Personally, I think it's Cannibal Corpse. But, hey, to each his own.

[LynneSin]

17. Did Rassumussan run this poll? They seem to skew everything

[Warren DeMontague]

19. I didn't realize MTV still had anything to do with music.

[lastlib]

23. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahaha........!!!!!

. . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . *Justin Bieber* . . . .

*snort!!*

. . . . *greatest musician of all time!* . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .

What do those people SMOKE??

[JennyHot]

48. must be some good stuff

haha

[Generic Brad]

24. Are you implying on line polls are inaccurate?

That would radically alter my world view!

[quickesst]

30. heh...

I know, Adam Sandler, but I still think it's funny

[NaturalHigh]

32. Any poll that doesn't have Kurt Cobain at the top is just wrong.

[hobbit709]

33. Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber-great musicians?

I wouldn't even put them in the top 250. But that's MTV for you-the more you flash and bounce around the better musician you are. Being able to actually PLAY some music doesn't count.

[sl8]

36. Thoughts? I think you're making things up.

Your website seems to be the only one with this bit of "news".

[IgelJames4]

39. They must be on drugs

JB is terrible. I'd rather listen to someone scratching a chalkboard.

[GReedDiamond]

40. "Justin Bieber voted as Greatest Douchebag of all time, ahead of Michael Jackson...

...and Everybody Else on the Planet (not counting the Terraists)"

There, title corrected.

[cyberpunk]

41. This reminds me of a couple of lines from one of my favorite Mindless Self Indulgence songs:

"You're telling me that fifty million screaming fans are never wrong;
I'm telling you that fifty million screaming fans are fucking morons."

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

42. My thought is;

Why did you post this? Who cares?

[pinboy3niner]

45. Well...

[JennyHot]

46. hahah my thought too

good one

[pinboy3niner]

49. Welcome to DU, JennyHot!

And to the proudly heretical ranks of the unbeliebers.

[Taitertots]

47. MTV... You mean that TV station that used to play music 20 years ago? N/t

[Jamaal510]

51. For sure he's

one of the hottest of all time because of his album sales, but "greatest" is a different animal. Everyone has a different opinion on what "great" music is. I don't have much against him personally (except that he acts like an idiot sometimes), but I'm no fan of his music at all and strongly prefer MJ over him.

[Ptah]

52. Poor Jud is dead.

Poor TroyJackson Jud is dead.

53. Are you kidding????

What are they thinking.
Sir Paul Mccartney,takes that hands down.
No debate,the history shall speak for it self.
True talent,trumps you tube.

[Oddwomen]

54. You got to be kidding!

First of all Justin Bieber over Michael Jackson is the dumbest thing I ever read. Even worse is there is only one greatest musician of all time and that no doubt was PRINCE. To even think Justin Bieber had more talent then Prince and Micheal Jackson is pure stupidity. Not surprised coming from this news whatever you call it. I call it plain crap.
