Same1. Both destined to become more famous after their deaths than while living.
2. Both misunderstood and ostracised while they lived. In Mark 3:21 JC's family came to take him home because they thought he was "out of his mind". The media branded MJ as "Wacko Jacko".
3. Both claimed to be innocent when charges were brought against them (MJ for child molestation, JC for blasphemy - both seen as the worst category of crimes in their day).
4. Both 'living on' after their deaths. MJ through archives of unreleased songs and video footage. Jesus Christ through a physical resurrection (John 20:21-31).
Different
1. MJ will be forgotten in 50 years time. JC has been popular for 2000 years.
2. MJ died from drugs. JC died for the sins of others (Mark 10:45).
3. MJ's comeback tour will never happen. JC's comeback tour is a certainty (Acts 1:1-11).

MJ was labeled "kings of Pop". JC is King of kings... Craig you should have a feature to allow people to share this on their FB - just a thought.
