Michael and Britney were very polite from childhood and did not put on airs. Michael was, according to his friends, extremely funny and always happy to pull a prank.
Britney is always perceived as being nice and relatable. She also has a certain innocence that made fellow celebrities and even paparazzi feel the need to protect her.
Both of them thanked their staff, dancers, musicians, technicians and choreographers profusely. As with the rest of Britney's image, this has also been questioned by people working next to her, namely a former body guard, but this allegations must be taken with a grain of salt as he promised to write a profitable book on the subject. Her use of illegal substances and a possible mental disease deteriorated her for a while. During her lowest point she lost all her manners, refused to be nice to her fans and was reported to behave erratically. She was also reported to use a large amount of profanity.
Even at his lowest point Michael mantained good relationships with his staff and fans. He spent much less time in the eyes of the public because he believed part of the glamour of being a star lay in a certain amount of mistery.
