The stage is set for Jackson imitator

Michael Jackson's passing may have ended an era of pop, but for Wang Jie, it opened the curtain of a new stage.

The farmer-turned-Jackson impersonator does not sing, and his dance is hardly exciting, but thanks to fortuitous timing - and his similar look - he has drawn wide notice. And that includes CNN, AP and A Date with Luyu, known as China's Oprah Show.

Some Jackson fans, however, don't approve of him using the icon's persona to make money.
