The King and Princess of Pop: shared traits of two performers

God

Both Brit and MJ are very religious.

Raised as a Southern Baptist, Britney kept a prayer diary for a long time.
She has said dancing gives her a spiritual experience. She has also assured visiting certain places, like the desert touched a spiritual place inside of her. She's still a spiritual person, but no longer considers herself a Baptist.

Katherine raised her children to be Jehovahs Witnesses. Michael actively participated spreading the word. He later cut ties with them because his work was found offensive by the elders. MJ believed every song he wrote was inspired by God. He was also inspired by nature, his travels, personal experiences and children. The latter got him into legal trouble as his sleepovers with children were construed as sexual molestation.
