Flojo Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 ElvisHe was never accused of child molestation Elvis and Priscilla met in 1959 at a party in Bad Nauheim, Germany during his stay in the army.[54] She was 14 at the time, while he was 24. They quickly began a romantic relationship and were frequently together until Elvis left Germany in 1960. In her autobiography, Elvis and Me, Priscilla says that Elvis refused to have sex with her until they were married. However, biographer Suzanne Finstad writes that Priscilla and Elvis slept together on their second date, and that she wasn't a virgin when she met him.[162] Priscilla later filed a lawsuit against Currie Grant for his claim in Finstad's book that he had sex with her in exchange for introducing her to Presley and won. However, neither Finstad nor her publisher were a party to the lawsuit, and Finstad says she stands by the account in her book.lol at accused, it's a fact that gets swept under the carpet.LOL Whats the point in highlighting your bit in Bold and not highlighting that next sentence after it? LOL Whats the point in highlighting your bit in Bold and not highlighting that next sentence after it?I believe a lot of the hype Elvis got was due to him being white and making black music, so he would have had the right people behind him. Its like JT; people go on like hes such a great dancer and sh*t but he's basic. We've all seen on XFactor that white people only have to be able to sing with a bit of passion before they get loved off and compared to black peopleI was waiting for someone to come quote the next part, I decided not to highlight it first time round because I thought would people really dismiss his wives own words for some next bitch?You haven't answered my question Gambino.Is it ok for a man to kiss and groom a 14 year old as long as he doesn't have sex with her?I didn't really need to answer it, someones already gone through the exact same subject in the MJ Topic where I said I didn't agree with it but it's nowhere near as bad as wha MJ was accused of. And if what Prescilla was quoted as saying is the truth I personally wouldn't call a man like guys are on this Forum.This is the problem, Elvis factually grooming and kissing a 14 year old who he later married is more acceptable than MJ being accused and acquitted of child molestation. Yet when people say black celebrities in particular are almost always painted in a negative light people get all bent out of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VENOM Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 This isn't even debatable imo.MJ was an INTERNATIONAL superstar & has more INTERNATIONAL classics then any other artist. Count them if you doubt it.Nobody in Africa & them places gives a f*ck about Elvis.Basically.Elvis is an icon to 1 (maybe) 2 generations. Michael is an icon to anyone born from 1950-2010 which spans about 4-5 generations.How many Elvis songs can the average non-fan tell me?Does anyone know how old Elvis was when he died?What year did he die?!! lol I know everyones laughing as their reading this one because no one knows without googling.It's not even an issue, MJ>EPput nicely. so its a media hype plus the fatc that he was more normal/ thread done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask people our age in 30 years when Michael Jackson died u might find them strugglin to remember off the top of their heads........ Ur talkin bout Michael spannin 1950 to 2010... Elvis is still loved? I still listen to his Greatest Hits album, he still has mass amount of people dressin as him, he had that remix in the charts go to No1 a few years back. So I wouldn't use the Music span argument in Jacksons favour right now. The fact is that this Topic is as we already know consistant of a lot of people whom see an Elvis v MJ Topic and instantly take it for a Black vs White topic, it also consists of people born in the 80s and some unlucky f*ckers born in the 90s who were raised prob not listening or hearing about Elvis and suddenly think their in a position to dismiss the guy and act like he's a nobody. Your just not dealing with a fair set of people to judge the topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambino Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 lol So Superstardom goes by how much money you give away now, in that case Bill Gates must be the biggest Superstar in existance the amount of Billions he gave away. Not even willing to debate with you Venom you come across as an idiot "Boog tv show" chattin sh*t to be honest and probably because Elvis is white you feel the need to demote. My Family listened to his music, I heard it regularly as a Kid and therefore Love his music so WTF u on about his PR Company did this and that, serious WTF is going through Venoms small mind??

Tirunih Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 What a pointless thread you just wanted to point out why you thought MJ was the king.MJ was always king Did you think making this topic would have actually defined this?This is an Urban forum there is more MJ fans opposed to Elvis fans.Not saying i agree with you choosing by Michael Jackson but this thread was pointless imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did he give to charity? Then backed up with "What he did with his kingdom"? WTF has that got to do with f*ckin king of music?The king in this convo is to do with adulation and sh*t like that. Thats not much worse than judging the king of rap by who spends the most on jewels.MJ is king because he done everything big, Cant compare record sales cos I swear Elvis has 15 years minimum over MJ. That doesnt make sense.Elvis was a fraud and basically a puppet. A white face singing music people always wanted to but wouldnt cos it was "nigger music". I'm pratically biased and ignorant to Elvis anyway. He cant be that great if I and many others like me dont know much about him. My parents dont own any Elvis music but I bet Gambinos, for example, has MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
