James Brown vs. Elvis

Who's better? I say James, but this is a litmus test for the elvis overrated argument.

You can only compare them as performers, and both are legendary, stylish, charismatic performers.

As fas as musical innovation goes, no contest--JB

I love Elvis, but I think the only way he tops James is in his ability to sing different styles of music.

I agree with you on styles of music..that's it!... nod
But James is a dynamic performer and he had a tight band....
Elvis can't touch J.B. at all....
