“And yet, the major asterisk forever emblazoned on this year: Michael didn’t tour.”

He did tour in 1984. It was called the Victory Tour with his brothers The Jacksons. Obviously no one went to see Tito, everyone went to see Michael.

Anyway, I find the comparations a bit forced. Taylor Swift is no Michael Jackson, no Elvis Presley, no Beatles. Well, she isn’t even Adele. How is she getting compared to all time legends when she cannot even be the most popular among her peers?
