ELVIS, ELVIS, ELVIS, ELVIS
Elvis totally changed popular music and culture, he is still widely remembered 30 years after his death, he could sing anything, rock, blues, ballads, country, pop and even opera and he was the first person who could be recognised by his first name alone,h looked like a Greek God and was a genuinely decent person as well!
by the way, if anybody wore white socks and black pants I would think fashion disaster and not M.Jackson!
Elvis all the way,off course!
The best looking male ever, best entertainer !
A charisma like his, no other performer or human ever had!
He could do anything , Gospel ,Folk ,Blues Country, Rock and ROLL.
wAS THE FIRST
before anybody did anything Elvis did everything !
Best performer, most charismatic ,and best looking male in the world!
He could sing with his heart and soul like no one could, he opened doors for others like no artist before him ever did! He brought the Black and white culture closer to each other!
The list could go on and on, but the best proof remains ,that after 30 years beeing gone now ,his star shines brighter then ever!
While Mr Jackson is still alive ,his star is already fading out! So this poll is actually not needed,the results are already clear!
I think Elvis had the better voice. This is generally accepted throughout most of the Worlds population (or at least the ones with any sense).
Entertainment wise, if I could turn the clock back and see either entertainer live and at the peak of their career, it would have to be Elvis. Surely, only a complete nitwit would choose otherwise!!
In fashion as in everything else, Elvis was a leader rather than a follower. I think Michael got caught up with the whole “megastar” thing and took it all (just a bit) to seriously. To prove the point, it was reported recently, that if the number of Elvis impersonators buying the “Aloha” jumpsuit continues to increase at its present rate, in 18 months, it will have outsold the “Thriller” album.
Sleep is very important to any entertainer, Michael and Elvis were no exceptions. Michael was definately the better sleeper though: Elvis was a lifelong insomniac which may have contributed to his reliance on prescription pharmaceuticals! For Michael though, night time was a special time (esp playing and cuddling with the toys) that’s why he’s always looked so great and managed to maintain that falsetto range of his.
Overall I would have to say Elvis is my favourite.
No two ways about it. ELVIS. He not only started Rock and Roll, he could sing Pop, country, gospel, love songs and the blues. He has more talent than any singer that ever inhabited this earth. He’s also in three Halls of Fame. His music is still fresh today as it was when he recorded it. It will never go out of style.
He always performed to a sold out audience right to the end. He has more loyal fans than any singer dead or alive.
Elvis without a doubt wins on all counts
Elvis, today, tomorrow and forever!
1) Elvis was inducted into several Halls of Fame which clearly acknowledges his vocal range. Indeed, his voice was getting better when he sadly passed away. From rock to blues, from operatic to country, from r & b to gospel…just cant be beaten.
2) Both excellent and value for money. Saw MJ and was impressed, but did not see Elvis as i was 11 when he died. Looking at footage from 55-56, 68 comeback special and Elvis on Tour/Thats The Way It Is and trying to compare..its Elvis by a long way. Indeed, in my opinion, Prince and others (Bono/U2)are above MJ.
3) Elvis again…no doubt about it.
4) Both have set trends across a couple of generations and have been imitated, copied and worshiped across the world. Elvis still wins due to the ground breaking nature in of his style…the rockabilly in the 50’s, the simple, yet sophisticated look in his movies during the sixties, the leather gear as worn in the comeback special and the jumpsuits of the seventies. Indeed, he made an army uniform stylish.
Both are deserving of the attention they get, and both have suffered negativity in the press…undeservedly in most counts in both cases, but they are not in the same league. MJ v Prince would be better with Elvis alone as the ultimate icon, original American Idol and artist of the century as touted in many polls at the end of the 20th century
Ok , Let´s LOOK at this Right !
Elvis Presley SINGS , SOUNDS , LOOKS , Moves Better then Michael Jackson . Michael is Ok , But im sorry “NEVER BETTER THEN THE BEST” Mr. Elvis Presley
