Elvis or MJ??


Turkish

Recommended Posts

MJ will be a greater legend in the future because he is appreciated more by our generation.Elvis has so many fans from the older generations but his music isn't appreciated as much by people like us.Also MJ will be remembered for breaking down a lot of barriers which is something Elvis' legacy cannot claim.

Michael Jackson is more talented, for me personally MJ is better and the bigger legend, but white people love elvis so yeah elvis more positive press because the media love him...they try to bring mike down because hes a black man, they couldnt handle when he started to do business moves, such as buying the beatles catolouge and accomplishing things that no one was was doing. Not to forget to mention he married 'the kings' daughterbut michael jackson writes, produces, entertains, dances... michael is the fred astaire of today, and elvis became famous for bring black music to the forefront since white people didnt wanna see no black people on their tv. Elvis is good, i like him alot but it makes me sad to think he gets all the credit when years before him black people were being dismissed Jackie Wilsion is the black Elvis, look at Jackie Wilson then look at Elvis - see the similartiesMichael Jackson is the most influencal pop figure right now and will be for years to come. Michael Jackson was also the first BLACK MAN to be played on mtv, he made them play his video, so yes Michael is a breakthrough artist.Give him some credit, the reason he is put down is because hes black, its funny how his album thriller is the best selling album all over the world, but not in america the f*cking eagles greatest hits are.. thats a conspiracy all by itself.And yeah, if you ask people in africa they will know mj but not alot of people know elvis, so yes michael is probably mroe famous but hte media are behind elvis all the way - they never remember the fat drug years though... but if michael dies i dread to think what they will say about him... its sad

Elvis's first record came out in 1954. Jackie Wilson's first record came out in 1956. TRY AGAIN.

Im a big Fan of both Artists, Been listening to both since i was a kid. Tough decision but i would say Elvis, He was on top of his game right up to his death. His Concert 6 weeks before he died he was fattened up and looking tired but he still gave it all and had the same powerful voice. Michael fell off big time, His music went pretty garbage and he turned major weird. Thats the only thing that seperates them for me. Think Both will always be remembered though.

tough question cos for both its hard to seperate the impact of there music from the impact of there personas as theyre both notable for not only there musicwhile i think MJs music will be played more,partly because its more recent,i think elvis will always be remembered for being a catalyst for the modern pop star as he was the original king of pop on a large scale,regardless of the circumstances of his rise to fame,or questions of authenticity etc etc it is wat it isthe same could be said of mj bringijng in the new era or at least updating the templatebut then the people alive in 100 yrs time mite not now much about elvis,lets not forget mj made a video for every track on bad ( i think) elvis u got some old concert footage,but also a massive catalogue of hit records.they both got musical films,elvis got graceland and the impersonators but then michael jackson gonna be remembered wen hes dead regardless of wat crazy activities he gets involved with.its a close callbut as for me im a bigger fan ofbiggrin.gif
